Just watched James Muppetiers latest video and really interesting some of the explanations he raises to contextualise the current situation:

1. Transfer targets manager led, with scouts by-passed will always be disasterous as he needs to stick to what he’s good at coaching and leave recruitment and scouting to D of F and analysts. Hence Arnautovic, as manager will always go for who he knows. At Ajax, Overmars and VDS did this for him.

2. Positive side is that United are setting up an analysis based recruitment system akin to Liverpool and city (albeit years too late) which should identify the right players for ETH who will fit way he plays (as Liverpool do so brilliantly)

3. However, not be set up in time for this Summer so mistakes like Rabiot etc will be made as ETH not equipped to scout players, only coach them

4. And next year, absolute imperative we qualify for CL or else we’ll have no money. Hence panic buying now.

5. Linked to this is preparation for worst case scenario where incomings will be our youth players only, who need to be hardened for this by going out on loan (hence Laird, who will be Dalots successor) and possibly even Alvarez. To fit into this, wouldn’t surprise me if GRner, Iqbal, Savage, McNeill, Mengi and Hannibal go out on loan soon - will need to be ready to join first team next year if we don’t get CL.

Given competition for top 4, can see us going all out for Europa League this year (though Arsenal and drop outs from CL…)

Woukd urge you to give his video from yesterday a watch, whether you think it’s a load of billocks or not.

Some interesting points.
I like to think I'm a positive fan, it was only one bad result and there is still time left in the window. but I can I really see Utd finishing in the top 4? Absolutely no chance is my reluctant opinion.

Not sure any of us expects top four. We know we are far far behind, it's not just the players on the pitch but the structure, personnel, stadium, owners, where do you stop.

Expecting an up and down season as normal and how long before the manager gets fed up and is snapped up by a better team.

Top 5 is already done ✔ ? we are lucky if we got 6th.

Firstly it's never worth wasting your time on something you believe to be bolloxs. Times precious why waste it on something you don't believe in or doesn't enhance your life.

Secondly, you know what a Muppeteers is? It's the puppet master pulling the strings of the puppet/ muppet.

Whose strings do you think they are pulling? In that case what does that make you? ?.

Muppetier guy said Maguire is quality.
Stopped reading their page ever since.

they sold a lie to us all towards the end of last season.

I new era, new way of doing business, its all a load of pr BS to get the season tickets sold.

ETH has been set up to fail already

these leachy owners need to go.

Shappy, surely you can’t tell me you’ve never had your strings pulled?

10 Aug 2022 23:28:02
Wallace, of course I have. Everyone has had their strings pulled at some point. The trick is to recognise it and to learn from it so people can't keep doing it.

So if they are the Muppeteers, then who are the Muppets whose strings they are pulling?

Very meta Shappy, perhaps their strings are being pulled by their supposed sources at United, which means they are certainly sevindcstring and we are merely vessels to be filled by the hyperdermic syringe of curiosity.

However, whether our strings are being pulled or not, if you enjoy it then why not allow yourself to receive a tug or two.

11 Aug 2022 08:20:39
On a serious note Shappy, surely you’re as guilty as trying to influence opinion with your posts as every other media influencer?

The trick is to consider all opinions and arrive at a considered, well-researched outcome and not be blinded by one point of view.

Then your strings really are being pulled.
