OGS is out of his depth.

On the playing side of things yes. But he has gotten rid of majority of the players who were on or wanted high wages, who weren't good enough to take United forward.

Also as certain home grown academy players aren't performing and exposing themselves as well and if United get a proper coach, at least one of them will be moved on.

Apart from Citeh and maybe Liverpool, the other top 6 teams all have a pool of players that need to be moved on as well. So for Matic, Jones etc there are Mustafi, Ozil, Xhaka, Willian, Barkley, Alonso, Dier, Eriksen, Wanyama, Aurier etc United aren't the only ones with these issues.

Selling players isn't an achievement and there were mistakes made. Ander Herrera leaving was a mistake, Selling a striker who scored 42 goals in 96 games in Lukalu in order to trust Martial who hasn't developed at all as a player since he arrived and is inconsistent and who's end product is lacking alot of the time, and trust Rashford who is also inconsistent and simply not good enough to play upfront at this level yet, he's not strong enough or clinical enough neither is his decision making good enough for that. Both of whom aswell share the trait of believing they are better than they actually are. That was also a mistake. The whole penalty fiasco and letting them decide on the pitch shows weak leadership, that would never run with a Ferguson or Ancelotti etc. Too weak to demand Pogba be sold after the player publically declared he wanted to leave

He is tactically not good enough either, man management is his only tool and at man United with what we have that isn't enough. He isn't good enough to advance man United and I love that man for what he was as a player.

That's what is hurting us, don't wanna cuss him out

I think Ole would be better suited to be our DOF

Herrera wanted superstar money. For a player who is injured half of the team, yeah a good player, but not worth it. United resign Herrera and then fans complain he is being paid too much. Yes United should of bought in more players, but you don't buy for the sake of buying, which is even worse. Like Chelsea did with Drinkwater for example.

I don't give a phuck about how many goals Lukaku scored for United. You can have his goals vs PSG, but he is a piss poor player. Considering how many times he destroys attacks with his Jimmy Saville touch, or his sporadic lethargic approach to creating space for others and goes missing and fails in big games.

Rashford was good enough to play upfront under LVG and looked very promising in that role. In comes the size queen Mourinho and the promising forwards learn how to becomes WB's instead of being forwards, no wonder they went backwards.

Seems like he's got his heart set on management but Director of Football would be the perfect role for him, never thought of that before but seeing you say that that's the best role for him, and probably best DOF for us.

But in that Managers seat we need Ancelotti or Pochettino

You don't hire Ancelotti for rebuilds.

Firstly Mourinho never played him as a WB so stop making stuff up please. Looking promising is not the same as being good enough.

If you believe Lukaku is piss poor then honestly your a fool. Managers like Mourinho and Conte want him but your telling me he is piss poor, do you know better? You just listen to media scapegoating of players. 41 in 98 for Andelect, 87 in 166 for Everton, 42 in 96 for Man United record goalscorer for Belgium be serious please stop listening to the media. Lukaku never slowed down our attacks that's bullshyt, Lukaku played with urgency our attacks are consistently slowed down by our midfield, Pogba especially and Matic. As well as wide players who when not taking on their man would pass it back to the full backs and centre backs.

Juventus have launched a fresh appeal to have the 2005-06 Serie A title stripped from Inter Milan - just days before the two teams play each other.

Juve finished top that year but had the title revoked because of their role in the 2006 'Calciopoli' match-fixing scandal - when five Italians teams were penalised for attempting to influence results by picking certain referees.

Juventus, who have made numerous prior appeals, have made a new pitch to the Italian Olympic Committee's Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport tribunal.

AC Milan had finished second in 2005-06, but were also penalised in the scandal, so the title was handed to third-placed Inter Milan.

Juve won't let his shyt go

You think they'll strip a 13 year old title off Inter, that means Chievo would get the title
