1973 The Doc was swimming against the tide, the team were failing with older slow players who were thought to be good enough. Bobby retired and they struggled. We just carried on and got relegated. Fast forward and Carrick is swimming against the tide with players who clearly do not rate him nor want to play for him. If he stays i suspect 1974 could well repeat.
The difference was The Doc, and then younger players coming in. The opposite of Carrick, the Doc was full of drive and knew what he was doing, just not with the physios wife, but at least he did on the football pitch.
Right now I feel we have hit 1973 again and they are refusing to see any sense at all. Its beyond me what they are doing and whilst I felt Moyes was a low point, this feels worse.

Not a chance that United go down, even though playing bad enough, but it won't happen stupid to even think such a thing 10 games in.
It's awful yes squad is worse than ever but it's better then the bottom 3 over a season so that pointless worry no matter who in charge.
You could even put the one who said Shaw was world class Sancho was piece of jigsaw and Onana was just perfect signing in charge and with even his dubious choices we would still stay up.

Red Man, do you want to put a bet on us being relegated?
Thankfully, there's even worse teams in the league this year! ?.

Nou,
I don't bet but I said a few days ago, before it comes to that they would change the numpty manager and buy in January.
It just has that terrible feeling I remember from 1973 when the owners buried their head in the sand.
Maybe there will be two worse teams and City.
