Not a fight worth starting, sir. We were crap last year and are currently two spots behind you.

You’ve totally abandoned any identity from your greatest era and replaced it with absolute rubbish, stripping all art out of the beautiful sport while spending over £1b doing so.

And, you’re bottlers.

Frauds

True statement

Until ownership changes, nothing changes. Gave up our STs after 13 years.

I’m so tired of this lot. Scholes has the football IQ of a donkey, Daddy-issues Keano the biggest chip on his abusive shoulders, and good ol G-Nev a pie hole wider than the channel.

Seško hat trick incoming.

McKennie

Agreed. But I think it’s a further stretch to think that Mainoo had no idea what was happening.

If it's true, get him out. No one bigger than the club. He's a good player in need of development. Ronaldo would've been kicked to the curb at 20 yrs if he'd pulled this stunt.

Why cite Luckhurst in any case?

If he loses the squad, time won’t matter. Would love to know what types of discussions take place between Rubin, Jason, and Omar

I think about how close Fergie was to the sack. Different era with far more £££ at risk. I’m torn to be honest. Want him to stay and succeed but a good coach manages the talent at his disposal. I don’t see how tripling down on a tactical system gets you to the desired end state w/o the right players

Absolutely not shocking. My guess is that he stayed on the line to avoid re-injuring his hamstring before he signs on Thursday. That’s being generous

Sancho gives him a run for the money. So does Sanchez for that matter.

🙏

Think they’re playing a closed-door match with Villa so he gets some game time

I figured halftime of City match😜

Agent most likely. Apparently not coming from the club so that means agent trying to stir stuff up for Kobbie in midst of WC year and new contract

Well I missed that mark then. £45m is ridiculous

And the this will be the move that ultimately costs this manager all of good will he has.

and it would need to be at least 60m

My concern is that I don’t want Pep 2.0 who has designed the perfect system in his head then has to mine the universe for players to make it work.

Coaching is having Anderson in the starting 11 and still winning the league.

😭😭😭

I’m actually looking forward to cancelling our 12 yr STH package. Giddy, in fact.

*no one

I hope we don’t sell him. Let him rot. Know one is bigger than the club.

Wholeheartedly agree. It’s difficult to question their dedication or passion for rebuilding this club. That’s all that matters.

It’s a ruthless game in many ways but can’t say that I’m sad at all. The players grayed out haven’t carried their weight or don’t align with the principles or ethos of play. Only the top 1% should be in this club. Happy to see the shift, long may it continue.

I’m more interested in what type of playing philosophy he’ll implement as well as his understanding around the importance of creating a direct link to the first team, unlike City. ‘Barcelona-style’ is a Pep driven model that is on the wane (fortunately) so I hope he will adapt. Best of luck to him.

Wrong on so many levels.
