Hilarious. Butthead was asked how he'd fit these huge aquisitions in to the team and he rambled on for about 5 mins about how United always give youth a chance. It's the united way etc etc
Bacon face must have been so proud.
How fucking deluded can you get???

So in that respect, I get it why the scum chose him. they need a quick fix to get back to the top 4 (at least). Once they're there they can start building with a little bit more patience and care.
That said, I hope the arrogant bastard fails miserably.

I don't know if you have seen it, but he has created a stir already by claiming Danny Wellbeck is not good enough, so that's why he sold him. Of course he is right, & most rags I know would agree, but it's not usual for a manager to come out & say it !
Diplomacy doesn't seem to be his strong point. That's fine if he succeeds, but if he fails, even the rag loving media will be on him like a pack of wolves.

I agree on that - arrogance will probably be his fall if he fails already this season. The Dutch and German press are meek lambs in comparison to the English. I'm not sure his ego can handle it, if they start turning on him.

The Rags have been abysmal so far and the PL standings and LC defeat don't really tell half of the story, however they still have a few reasonably easy games to get these new acquisition settled in. I think they will be on a high and start getting back to winning ways very soon but where I feel they will stumble is later on in the season when the Xmas/New Year roster and the speed of the league starts taking its toll.
We'll see in due course but I'm still under the opinion that they will be fighting it out for the CL but will just fall short.
Saying that, I'll place a caveat on it with regard to refereeing decisions, nobody can account for points gained through them.

imagine if all we had to pla was FA cup and Prem games! No European travel or midweek fixture build ups, more time for injured players to recoup because less games need playing, we would walk the league without hitting top gear. They are in a very enviable position to win the league, never mind get into Europe, the one saving grace is that defence is SHIT

Very true mate and we've seen what a half decent squad in Liverpool can do when they can concentrate only on the league. My saving grace is that the teams they will be fighting it out for have all strengthened. Plus the fact that they are already 2 or 3 games already behind the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and us then it makes it reasonable to believe that they would have to win near enough all their games to lift the trophy and by only losing a couple more, could be outside of the CL places.
On an unrelated note, SSN have just stated that Pellers has admitted that we lost out to the Rags for Falcao. I've not seen all the interview with Pellers but from what I've seen he's said nothing of the sort, instead refusing to speak about other teams players.
