Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

Yes.

Conte will:

• have Penaldes running through brick walls
  
• make McFred the greatest double pivot in the league
  
• turn Sancho into the best RWB in Europe.

What you're missing is that within those 18-24 months is that Conte will turn your mob into a winning juggernaut. The guy is obsessed with winning.

Nobody even fukin wants Mcfred in the fukin team!

Ole can take Mcfred and fukin Maguire with him when he gets the fukin sack!

Most of these United legends are fukkin clowns. There is no better way to say it.

They rather defend their friend than think what's best for Man United.

Fuk you. Gary Neville, Paul Scholes fukk you.

I respect it. I'd feel some type of way if my so called mate was on TV campaigning for me to be sacked and saying I wasn't good enough


I rate Neville's loyalty tbh... Always thought him to be an unprincipled dirtbag

It's on Sky Sports and other channels to monitor conflict of interest and not have them analyse or comment on certain things


Carragher hasn't been tested yet. Wait till Stevie G is managing Liverpool lol

I don't know but United's buying strategy has been the same since the last 5/6 years.

There's no real method behind it imo.

A: Ole built this team

ManU has some kind of aura that I dont get. Like they are some royalty that are above peasant things.

"biggest club in the world" ....

biggest club in land syndrome + english hubris

If Conte takes over Bruno will be the biggest loser. He has the work rate to play for Conte but his free reign to do whatever he wants will be over

as it should be

I’m telling you, OGS would’ve been sacked by now if the board were serious. He’s staying for now and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was until the end of the season… and it’s for the exact reason I stated before: a lack of viable options. They want a long term manager but they don’t exist anymore.

The board are living in the past. The days of managers staying at a club for 10+ years are over. The only current manager who is the exception right now is Diego Simeone but he’s won two league titles and 2 runner up champions league finals with his old team.

Klopp and Pep are rare in the fact that they’ve been managing their clubs for over 6 and 5 years respectively. If you look at the top clubs in the top European leagues, there aren’t any other managers that have a tenure of more than 5 years apart from the aforementioned.

The game has moved on and if we’re being honest, has pretty much sold it’s soul. The days of the Wengers/Fergusons/Ancelottis are long gone.

I respect United trying not to go down the route of Chelsea but it’s inevitable for all clubs now, where time is not an affordable currency.

ManU has some kind of aura that I dont get. Like they are some royalty that are above peasant things. For a club that hasnt won shyt for 4 years, that's rich

Bayern got smacked at home by Real in CL. Barca got smacked at home by PSG and numerous others in CL. Real got dominated by Barca in the Bernabeu in la Liga plenty of times. It happens. I guess that it's the drop too much for many and I understand but people are kinda forgetting that Liverpool are elite and that they have been a far better club than United for years now.

First English Club to enter the European Cup.
Munich Air Disaster
Rebuilt the team within 5 years and competing back in the European Cup.
Best Charlton and Law all won ballon d'or in the 60's as teammates. Iirc only teammates to do so.
First English Club to win the European Cup.

You need to check the history between the cities of Manchester and Liverpool. Then you'll understand why it's unacceptable for United to get smacked up by Liverpool and vice versa especially at home. They haven't done a transfer between the 2 clubs since the mid 60's. That is how deep the rivalry goes.

Barcelona will play Boca Juniors December 14th, in honor of Maradona.........of course the game is in Saudi Arabia

Just play a tribute video and save everyone the time

Cannot even celebrate properly to truly honour Diego

Barca need all the help they can get to clear their debts. Why not dip into Newcastle's transfer fund.

Says alot when some Man Utd fans were delighted with getting annihilated by Salah.

This is all big time facts. When Ferguson retired I remember telling my boy (United fan) Welcome to modern day football.

Modern day football is:
- having a revolving door of managers. If you get a manager in for 5 years count your blessings.
- Players not giving their all, quitting, looking for the door to the next club.
- Managers not coming to your club because they don't have a huge budget to spend immediately.
- Managers getting jobs they have no business getting and not having a fukking clue.

United were ignorant in thinking that the next guy was gonna take over, be there for 20 years, and bring them a trophy every 6 months.

You're forgetting the part where modern players need a structure and plan to follow in their football. The days of go out and have fun out there are done. Wenger found this out.
