Rashford exit gathering pace now in various media outlets. Sadly, I do think it's time for him to explore new opportunities. PSG feels an obvious fit, as I can't see him moving to another Premier League club.

He just seems to have fallen out of love with the game and the club, and it's time for him to rekindle that joy if can elsewhere.

Over the moon. Never rated him and his attitude is awful
Won’t be easy to shift him in those ridiculous wages.


2.) 17 Dec 2024 21:12:49
Could definitely see a Sancho-style loan for the rest of the season somewhere or other. Need him to get some form and put himself in the window for a permanent summer move.


3.) 17 Dec 2024 21:22:26
Sad I was there when he scored 2 on EPL debut against Arsenal. I remember him scoring against City in an Irish pub in Fueteventura and leaving Demichelis for dead.

Unfortunately over the last few seasons it’s not worked out for him.

Wish him the best.


4.) 17 Dec 2024 21:58:47
Can see Garnacho leaving also.


5.) 17 Dec 2024 22:10:48
I don’t understand why people think PSG will buy him. They bought Barcola two summers ago for a big fee. It seems like people think that PSG are trying to sign any big name player, even ones they don’t need.

Personally I think that it will be very difficult to sell Rashford. The best I could see happening is a loan where United continue to pay a significant amount of his wages.


6.) 17 Dec 2024 22:24:56
Wont be too sorry for either…talent maybe but mentality is a massive issue for both. We all knew something like this needed to happen and if it takes some so called fans too then so be it. Ragnick said this club needed open heart surgery, looks like now’s the time.


7.) 17 Dec 2024 23:20:31
Depends on the fee United want, the lower that is the more prepared clubs will be to up the wages.

Fact is he isn't delivering what he costs so any fee and the wages cleared is going to leave us better off.


8.) 17 Dec 2024 23:54:05
Utd Rd. I also was there when he scored that brace against Arsenal. A quick trip back from the US. I took my wife who had become an Arsenal supporter. We had very good seats on the half way line. She found the intensity, the close spacing, and the aggressive nature of the men around her quite overbearing. I had also taken her to see us play at the Emirates in 2012 when we won 2-1 with Danny Welbeck scoring the winner. Somehow that ground didn't seem anywhere near as intense. Anyway, the experience put her off being a football supporter. She decided that investing all that emotional energy wasn't worth it. Sometimes I wish I could do the same, but then she doesn't have 60+ years. of it behind her.

We'll be very lucky to get a good deal for him given how much he's paid. He's simply not adapted to the game as it's evolved and it's hard to see him ever having the capacity or the will to do so. The worst thing is I think he knows it which, if so, has to be depressing him. He is after all a United lad through and through.


9.) 18 Dec 2024 04:36:19
I'd take a straight swap for Isak.


10.) 18 Dec 2024 07:16:40
In your dreams Bobbie. I’d take a straight swap for Homer Simpson!
Other than Chelsea/ Arsenal think it most likely to be a Spanish or Italian club loan.


11.) 18 Dec 2024 09:20:53
Sad to see. Local lad came good, exploded into the scene, great pace and a good finisher. Sadly his time has come. Thought he might turn the corner under Amorim, but if you’re heads gone it’s gone.


12.) 18 Dec 2024 11:36:15
Crystal palace his level. Reminds me of zaha, turns up when he likes and does a bit here and there but not consistent.


13.) 18 Dec 2024 11:53:06
Just been listening to Jordan on talksport and while I think he’s a bit of a snide sometimes I couldn’t help but agree with what he said - Rashford has basically come and said he wants to leave and Amorim has said he’s still got a part to play etc etc - a complete opposite of his message dropping him from the team. Make your mind up…
Obviously he holds value so the club or manager can’t say anything too bad but this just all needs to stop and stop being blown out of proportion like everything Utd.
He’s been a good ambassador not only for the club but for himself and helped lots of families which should never be forgotten but his day job - football he just isn’t up to the standard of an elite footballer.
He’s 27? He’s had plenty of time to fulfill potential and instead he’s looking like another Theo Walcott that gets to drag the potential term around his whole career.
If Garnacho feels the same I think he can also go.

While I’m on my rant I’d also like Amorim to get full say on that squad because there’s plenty need to go.
Anthony, Rashford, Casemiro, Dalot, Shaw, lindlof, Maguire, spring straight to mind.


14.) 18 Dec 2024 13:36:31
“ I couldn’t help but agree with what he said - Rashford has basically come and said he wants to leave and Amorim has said he’s still got a part to play etc etc - a complete opposite of his message dropping him from the team. Make your mind up…”

I don’t see how what Ruben said is contradictory.

Rashford and Garnacho were dropped for one game because they didn’t train to the standards expected by the manager.
Rashford then threw his toys out of the pram, by announcing to the world that he’s prepared to leave the club.
Ruben said that he wants to keep Rashford at the club, and that he wants to help him recapture his best form.

Unless you think that the manager should never drop certain players from the squad, regardless of how much effort they put into training, then Ruben has been consistent.


15.) 18 Dec 2024 15:56:35
I think he should drop every player that doesn’t train to standards. It’s gone in too long players getting free passes and he’s top of the list.


16.) 18 Dec 2024 16:33:05
Mental all this stuff about a lad who has played well at times and not at others. Good human being, one man club and G/ A over his career is far better than anything theo bloody Walcott did.

We always want more and more from him when I'm not sure he has more and that's okay. I would love for him to stay but I think he needs to leave and get out this country.

The drivel being written and that has been written over a sustained period of time is crazy IMO.

Best of luck Marcus in whatever you choose to do. But if he gets his head down and scores a few goals, this will be forgotten about.


17.) 19 Dec 2024 16:49:46
He’s a spoilt child.

Why drop an interview about how you want to leave after the camp has some positivity beating Man City? It’s selfish and has made the last week all about him when we were gaining momentum.


18.) 20 Dec 2024 18:58:32
Nice story Shawthing. some parallels with me.
I took my wife, we where stood in the Stretford End Upper all match. She kept asking when we sit down ?

She didn’t come to the Irish bar…

Surprised she came tbf as her previous match was Moyes Fulham….

Hi Ed. I know there will be much chatter about ten Hag etc.

Without fuelling the fire, and recognising you said he should have been replaced in the summer, who would you give the role to if you were charge?

Eric79

{Ed002's Note - Thomas Tuchel - would be my first choice but I still don't think he is interested.}


1.) 30 Sep 2024 15:43:23
Thanks for answer Ed002.

Heard rumours that Tuchel turned us down in the Summer because he wanted more control over decision making, akin to a more old-fashioned manager- and new management structure at United want more of a Head Coach type manager instead?

If so, could they perhaps go back to him with a compromise proposal to get him on board?

Otherwise, perhaps RVNistelrooy as interim as options seem rather limited?

Thanks as always for any input you can give!

{Ed002's Note - I am aware of a discussion with Jim Ratcliffe and another but I don't know of any details of an offer - but I am aware he rejected it.}


2.) 30 Sep 2024 15:59:34
Thank you for the swift reply Ed002!

Fingers crossed he will reconsider (and please let it not be Southgate - surely his managerial record speaks volumes)


3.) 30 Sep 2024 17:10:43
Hi Ed, would we consider Ruben Anorim?

If i'm not mistaken we had considered him before. I think he would do well.

{Ed002's Note - I don’t think there is any chance now.}


4.) 30 Sep 2024 18:28:54
Thanks Ed. Fingers crossed Tuchel changes his mind!


5.) 06 Oct 2024 14:14:39
Hey Ed002
I like Tuchel too as a human and coach. But he strikes me as one who would want total control over tactical approach.

This seems contrary to all the talk of a “Game Model” from academy to first team.

Would Tuchel be willing to work to someone else’s plan? Or is not as a simple as that, appreciating each game will require a modified approach.

{Ed002's Note - Tuchel, like the very high end coaches, has his vision and that is what he will want to be measured delivering against.}


 

 

29 Mar 2024 07:19:31
Hi Ed. Are we showing any interest in Marc Cucurella at Chelsea?

Eric79

{Ed002's Note - Marc Cucurella (LB) Attracting interest from Atletico and Manchester United still. Real Madrid enquired but they should now be able to secure their first choice. Wants to stay at Chelsea but he will be made available.}


1.) 29 Mar 2024 10:43:44
Thanks Ed. I like him as a player - seems to have not worked out at Chelsea for some reason.

{Ed002's Note - He has been out injured for three months.}


2.) 29 Mar 2024 16:42:00
Chelsea spent big on him and Chilwell though - was always going to be a tough assignment.


3.) 30 Mar 2024 11:35:06
Would be a great addition.


4.) 31 Mar 2024 12:28:11
To be fair, he's the player we should have got last summer on loan instead of Reguilon. Unfortunately we couldn't even afford the loan fee, which just highlights the mess the club has been left in.


5.) 31 Mar 2024 14:01:49
Shappy, I’m fairly certain it was our insistence on a break clause that held the deal up. Then they played him in the cup and made it that he could only play for one more team this season so if we broke the loan in January they wouldn’t be able to loan him again.


6.) 01 Apr 2024 09:39:27
Branders that was my understanding too, but it’s all paper talk.


7.) 01 Apr 2024 12:21:12
Think we should be be aiming higher.
While a fine squad player I’d prefer someone who immediately levels up the team like Theo Hernandez, Udogie, Balde or aestupian.


8.) 02 Apr 2024 11:38:27
I think it's a bit of both to be fair. I'm sure if the loan fee was 1-2m for the season then we'd have seen Cucurella at United this season regardless of break clauses etc.

Utd Road, I think Cucurella would be a really good fit for us currently. He's similar to Shaw in that he can play LB, LCB, invert into midfield or play on the overlap (although he's better when played deeper) . He's not a physical as Shaw, but is slightly better technically and more tactically astute.

I'm a little torn over what to do with the LB slot. Shaw and Malacia's continued injury issues means we have a issue there that needs sorting out. Yet if we sign someone and Shaw and Malacia are both fit then we have an embarrassment of riches in that position while probably not having well balanced first 11, as other positions need a first choice player signing, let alone squad depth.

While the young Harry Amass continues to impress and if he develops a little more physically over the summer he could be ready for a few minutes next season (given his age he could develop physically very quickly and at any time over the next 6-24 months.

Personally I think there is something more a miss with Malacia than is being made public. The constant delaying of his return to injury without any clear information on what his injury has been or why his return keeps getting delayed just seems a little off. Maybe because he's a squad player the media aren't asking the questions about him during the press conferences??‍♂️

If we buy someone for LB then we should probably look for someone in the 21-24 age bracket who is ready to push or even take Shaws place off of him. With Shaw then becoming the back up allowing Amass to take Shaws place in a couple of seasons time, while looking to challenge the current first choice for his place. Although that does leave us with what to do with Malacia. Maybe keep him around due to Shaw's injury issues. New player as first choice with two injury prone players in Shaw and Malacia as back up.

No point signing a young prospect under 20 years old as we have Amass on the books or even Alvaro Fernandez if we want that profile of player. Signing someone that young would only block the pathway for Amass.

It needs to be someone either top class or on the cusp of becoming top class.

Although signing a LB this summer probably means not signing a RB and keeping AWB for a the final year of his deal to be back up to Dalot.

While RB does need an upgrade (although Dalot has probably been our most consistent player this season), the continued injury issues at LB probably means that it is the left hand side that has become a higher priority oddly.


9.) 02 Apr 2024 21:18:30
Speaking of LB's Rayan Ait Nouri has really had a break out season at Wolves under Gary O'Neil. He'd be the kind of player I'd personally be looking at to bring in at LB. Someone whose star is rising and they look ready for a bigger stage to step up to, but who has a good level of experience and is well suited to playing in the EPL.


 

 

18 Dec 2023 07:49:36
Hi Ed,

Do you see the club doing much business in this window given the new structure is yet to be confirmed?

Many thanks.

Eric79

{Ed002's Note - Some.}


1.) 18 Dec 2023 14:51:09
Hi Ed,

Do you expect their to be more departures than incomings? I can imagine the club being reluctant to sign many on permanent deals given the uncertainty on ETH if and when the SJR deal completes.

{Ed002's Note - January is a difficult time to buy and the future of Murtough is still a little unclear. The summer will be a much more significant time for transfers.}


 

 

27 Aug 2023 06:17:39
Hi Ed. Do you know if the club are looking to add a left back in light of Luke Shaw's injury please? If so who are they considering?

Eric79

{Ed002's Note - They will perhaps look to a loan.}


1.) 27 Aug 2023 12:03:55
The fact the club are looking at a loan seems to suggest that the "extended" period of time they said he will be out for will be months rather than weeks.


2.) 27 Aug 2023 12:39:00
I think that’s pretty clear Shappy.


3.) 27 Aug 2023 13:42:38
1 less weak link to down tools.


4.) 27 Aug 2023 14:38:07
Cucurella loan would be good if Chelsea agree.


5.) 27 Aug 2023 15:24:08
As per my views on the other post, Cucurella would be excellent, Reguilon disastrous!

Now seeing Marcos Alonso linked - he’s be excellent for us - Premier League proven, good aerially and knocks Maguire down to SIXTH choice centre half, too!


6.) 27 Aug 2023 16:48:32
Agree fzzz.


7.) 28 Aug 2023 09:02:21
Alonso is a good player chips in with a goal or two also, which we severely need any goals we can get, we already falling behind in the good department.


8.) 30 Aug 2023 10:36:51
Are we? You’ve not mentioned. We scored 3 on Saturday.

So let me summarise the last 6-8 months. Those in charge decide to undermine ten Hag (who I quite liked) when he won the cup, then decide to keep him, buying £250m of players for him, then sack him two months later, then sack a proven DoF, then appoint an unproven coach who only plays one system that clearly never suited anybody in the squad, then give him no money to back him in his first and crucial transfer window.

Absolute clowns the lot of them at the club, as they're getting what they deserve. Sadly, it's the fans that'll suffer and pay through the nose to remedy their mistakes. Oh and Vera the tea lady etc who costs nothing all to keep in employment who'll lose her job, yet put Casemiro et al 375k a week. also says a lot for the character of all the squad that not one of them has spoken up and said don't worry we'll cover their measly salaries.

It's not our club anymore guys, and the Glazers are squeezing the lemon for one final round before it's worthless. Frankly we are super lucky the bottom 3/ 4 are so bad, as frankly we'd be down. I don't see where the goals are coming from, let alone a win.

Eric79

1.) 16 Feb 2025 19:31:09
On that Eric does anyone know if the leeches are still taking their dividends? because that alone would keep the redundancies down, not that they’ll care.


2.) 16 Feb 2025 20:10:02
Well said Eric!


 

 

26 Jan 2025 21:55:43
Three points, clean sheet, progress. It's baby steps with this lot so we take our wins when we can and be happy.

That being said, watching Rasmus look like a poor man's Lukaku again, and. Zirkzee neat and tidy but yet ineffective, it frustrates me hugely to se e Rashford acting like a chump still. A switched and and engaged Rashford starts as No9 in that system ahead of those two any day of the week. But, it's clear he does not have it in him anymore.

I read a good post about lowering his asking price. £35-40m and there will be plenty of takers for Rashford thus funding a proper striker for us.

Eric79

1.) 26 Jan 2025 23:42:24
A poor outing but a much needed win with a solid defensive performance.
On Rashford, I feel for a manager who only last week was apologising for a bit of a silly statement post match and saying he needed to think a bit more in the heat of the moment said something equally dumb again. We know Rashford is done but I doubt Sir Jim and co who are frantically trying to shift him on need these types of comments. I agree it’s a bit of fresh air having someone so open for once but I feel he needs to reign it in a tad. Just my opinion, I’m sure others love it.


2.) 26 Jan 2025 23:56:15
I'd imagine United would be quite happy to take £40m and get rid of his £15m a year wages for the next 3 1/ 2 years. That's an £85m improvement. The big question isn't what United will take but what another team would be prepared to or could afford to fork out for someone on his wage and with his problematic profile and, quite frankly, limited range.


3.) 27 Jan 2025 01:10:05
Spenno

Reluctantly, I concede the same view. I like Amorim, I think he could navigate well through the choppier waters yet to come, but I think he might need to learn quickly how differently the nuances of given language can be received.

I know management in top-level football is greatly different to the traditional concept of management, but one must always measure a reaction sensibly when dealing with people they're managing/ supervising - especially if one is dealing with an incredibly immature and narcissistic person who consistently tries to challenge authority.

I do lay into Rashford rather more than many others do, but that's because he's a grossly overpaid mouthy bluffer and it boils my piss. However, if I were his manager, I'd put on the professional hat and respectfully tailor my conduct until my limitations, whatever they might be, have lessened.

Hopefully, SJR or one of his lackeys might pull him and explain the need to avoid references to individuals that could be perceived as negative.

Irrespective of the intended context, Rashford wins in this scenario. We've just won a game against a fellow middling team that some might consider a potential turning point, we're apparently hoping to reach an agreement for Dorgu, we're seeing the ascendancy of another gem in Collyer, but no, we'll have Rashford's name being the main topic again because his PR machine has been fed a nice chewy little cookie.

What a wally!


4.) 27 Jan 2025 03:48:43
We need to build the rest of the team out. I'm sure amorim is working with scouting team on the tools he needs to get better. We are miles away still and it will not get better without investment.

On rasmus and zirkzee- they are pretty ineffective. Rasmus again was weak in his hold up play - pretty sure he is now being effected by the criticism, just like zirkzee was. Zirkzee is better at coming short and linking play, which is currently our only use for our striker. Neither are getting any service from this formation and these players.

We desperately need width and more attacking play. We also need more pace and creativity from the 10s. While Amad has been one of the few shining lights, he is also not creating for the striker.

I think to play more attacking wide players we need quicker ball playing wide CBs who can play out wide and not get beaten for pace.

We basically need investment all over the pitch, and we also have awful options from the bench. This is a long term project that can only be fixed by change. If we continue to hemorrhage money on debt payments and poor signings and contracts it will be a long way back to the top.


5.) 27 Jan 2025 07:11:34
It sounds more to me like he’s trying to provoke some form of a reaction from Rashford. Yet- it’s not come.

I’d rather a manger who has values and demands from his players that he will stick too.

Rashford also harmed his value with his comments to Henry Winter (after he called in sick btw) . It’s a real shame it ended up this way, but what have we seen from Marcus in the last 18 months that warrants much of a fee either?


6.) 27 Jan 2025 07:24:01
You come across as an angry person ork ?.


7.) 27 Jan 2025 08:29:10
If you read the whole quote, he's referring to any player who doesn't put it all in. Chris Wheeler from the Mail at his games.


8.) 27 Jan 2025 09:11:05
Just like he was referring to himself when he said it was the worst Utd team ever lol. It was obvious what he meant, it followed a direct question about Rashford.


9.) 27 Jan 2025 10:11:59
Angelred

For me, talking about Rashford is like stubbing a toe, hopping around until I stomp onto some of that menacing Lego stuff, then enduring the despairing quandary of which foot to hop around on.

???.


10.) 27 Jan 2025 10:46:46
???.


11.) 27 Jan 2025 11:13:38
Yes nou, but it's all in the same conversation that starts with Rashford.

It is about all players, but we know what he means here. It's within 10 seconds about speaking on an individual.

I'm here for it though, as much as I like Rashford.


12.) 27 Jan 2025 12:13:16
???.


13.) 27 Jan 2025 14:00:38
I would honestly accept £20-£30m for Rashford. His output for a Striker, who has never hit over 20 goals in the Premier League and in 4 out of the last 5 years scored less than 11 goals, doesn't justify a bigger price.


 

 

12 Jan 2025 20:07:19
Wonder if Rashford is sitting at home "ill" watching a Utd side fighting and scrapping for every single ball, working together, leaving everythingon the pitch and thinking I wouldn't mind a piece of that?

Eric79

1.) 12 Jan 2025 21:11:23
If he’s not up for the fight sit at home.


2.) 12 Jan 2025 21:44:10
I imagine he's sat comfortably on a sofa worth more than my house without a care in the world except for his £350k wage.


3.) 12 Jan 2025 22:16:04
Doubt it Eric, probably planning his next interview or Pr piece. He may be talented but quite honestly he’s not worth the hassle with the attitude he has.


4.) 13 Jan 2025 01:52:05
Have mentioned before that I as much as anyone am disappointed by Rashfords performances but none of us what really is bothering him.

We really should not judge to all the facts about him are out in the open.


5.) 13 Jan 2025 08:31:01
Salford we are perfectly entitled to judge his attitude and lack of commitment to the cause. At home, it's his business but on the pitch, it is ours too! If he's failing to put in the effort then of course he can be criticised. It isn't a loss of form we're talking about here and neither is this an overnight issue. It's been quite some time.


 

 

08 Jan 2025 11:17:16
Rashford exit gathering pace now. What a waste of talent. It will leave us short though up front, so we will need Garnacho to step up and surely bring in another player this month?

LWB and at least one forward is the minimum we need to get through this season.

Eric79

1.) 08 Jan 2025 12:15:21
Be glad when he’s gone, albeit likely just a loan. Just don’t get it with him, application and desire massively lacking but an ego the size of greater Manchester. We will definitely need someone brought in but none of the names floating about fill me with much optimism, we shall see.


2.) 08 Jan 2025 14:59:53
Osimhen just may fit the way we play. Was also impressed by Samu Omorodion though we probably aren't interested. Either will probably mean we let go of both Rashford and Zirkzee.


3.) 08 Jan 2025 16:29:20
Timing is key. It seems highly doubtful that any club would lose their key striker whether Gyokeres / Mamoush (City) in January. Players on loan at other clubs like Osimhhen are a little different if a financial 'compensation' can be agreed with the loaning club. Hence ending up with Wieghorst last season.


4.) 09 Jan 2025 03:54:25
let's hope we get rash done and doubt any of the names being mentioned but the psg guy are even plausible.


 

 

14 Nov 2024 13:18:13
Early reports coming out of OT that the players have reacted badly to the new manager's training regime. A source said, "He makes us run and everything. "

Obviously this is made up and all tongue in cheek, but how long do you think before we hear the same old nonsense? I'll give it 3 months.

Eric79

1.) 14 Nov 2024 14:00:16
I hope and sense not. I think with squad turnover, changes to football leadership and players aware of some supporter discontent that they know it's s**t or bust for them now.

I still maintain that we are yet to have an experienced, approachable, tactically astute manager that it also a good communicator in place for many, many years. Given all of these factors hopefully there will be a more positive environment for players to step up.


2.) 14 Nov 2024 14:20:32
3 months will be perfect, they can be shipped out at the same time!


3.) 14 Nov 2024 14:30:19
As long as 3 months?


4.) 14 Nov 2024 16:14:30
Then the club should ditch any players still singing from the previous hymn sheet.

One of the reasons for our multi-season malaise is the erroneous culture of player power that developed under the previous regime.
Unfortunately, the legacy of that regime has a lasting impression in the form of the remaining clique.

If the club is to move forward on all levels, then any grey area must be corrected - this does call for the purposeful eradication of this pervasive culture of precious players holding sway over everything.

In INEOS and Ruben I trust, but if the former neglect to address any prospective player-culture problem then they are just as weak as the previous regime.

No more invertebrates please!


5.) 14 Nov 2024 17:51:59
Excellent post Ork.


6.) 14 Nov 2024 20:17:26
From everything that has been said, written or observed with Amorim his biggest quality is his man management. The way he communicates, he really gets players to buy into his ideas.

Ultimately any that don't need to be booted off down the road regardless of who they are or how long they have left on their contract.

We cannot keep letting the inmates run the asylum.

With the previous manager we all applauded his discipline approach when he first came in, ultimately it didn't work.

Amorim seems to be the kind of manager who players will run through a wall for, let's see how many embrace it.

Rashford and run through a wall don’t seem to go hand in hand Grim….

We’ve achieved the impossible. A bloated and overpaid squad, woefully paper thin in any kind of quality or strength in depth.

I’d rather see the young lads get a chance too if deemed good enough.

What does that mean though Ports. I’m not arguing that the culture at the whole of our club is not toxic, but things have been wrong for years across multiple managers. Is the head coach job not that important or influential enough to change the footballing culture? who is actually to blame/ causing all this? If it stems from the very top and those who own the club, then no amount of players/ money/ training/ new coaches and managers will change a single thing.

If it’s not, should have just kept OGS who we could all at least identify with and put an arm around his squad.

I’d bet my house he doesn’t play 5-10 consecutive matches for us ever again.

Cue Luke Shaw to rise like a phoenix from the flames to plug the gap.

We won’t buy anyone today. I’d rather Amorim play some young lads up front that are ripping up the youth levels than waste millions on Plan Z.

Most on here wanted ETH sacked because he wanted and we all wanted him to bring in his own philosophy and hisown players in to suit that, and frankly he did ok, but failed.

RA comes in, a fundamentally different coach with vastly different tactics, and we are now saying we want to dismantle the whole squad and build it according to his wishes, when we have no money in the coffers.

We have zero football identity or blueprint provided by those in charge, have a totally unprofessional and random approach to recruitment, and have nobody in charge. The whole set up is a farce. Do you all really trust the club in getting it right first time for Ruben, where every signing HAS to work? I have zero faith in these clowns.

The whole place and club stinks, and players are loving leaving our once great club and enjoying their football again.

But we were never this poor under ten Hag, OGS, LVG and Jose. The league position never lies.

I need a dollar by Alloe Blac might be a good start.

Since she has being good at football equated to a personality or intelligence?

Liverpool are likely going to win the league, look like the strongest team left in the Champions League, and are in the League Cup final. They’re doing just fine.
