Yeah, his goal record isn't amazing, but he has the talent and the makings of a very good player. It's not so daft when you compare it to Sterling for £50m. And it's not like money means anything anymore.

I can safely say though, that the environment under LVG at United is one of the worst places a gifted young player can be. Second-fiddle to Shrek, Memphis and probably Fellaini, a disjointed attacking unit, unambitious stifling football, little opportunity to express yourself, impatient fans.

If he somehow survives the regimented philosophy and blossoms, Real Madrid will snap him up anyway.

Business and the law. The two disinfectants that can eradicate all known strains of competition and justice. The acquisition may have been legal, but it wasn't lawful and certainly it wasn't legitimate. This is a prime example of why sport is in crisis. This is FIFA, this is gambling syndicates, this is match fixing, this is grubby agents, this is human rights abusers cosseted in their director's boxes, and all the rest. Anyone with enough influence can make a law and the unhappy side effect is their friends can take advantage. But that's not legitimacy. There may be one concocted law that states these Glazier's can trade beyond their means, but this contradicts the array of laws that states you and I can't. But we don't have friends in high places so we can't take advantage of tier 2 law. I have never had an issue with people who create wealth through sweat and risk, but I've never had time for the non-productive, scrounger, layabout types who skim their earnings off the backs of those who work and create wealth - the work shy Glaziers for example.

If there were any ramifications of it that werent legal, some bright spark would definitely have been to the high court. I think what you meant is ethical. Yes I cannot go to a bank and tell them to loan me money to buy your house simply because I know somehow that 10 years from now the house will be worth 5 times what it is and use YOUR house as collateral on the loan. However their acquisition of United has not in any way hampered their fortunes, they have allowed the club spend freely in pursuit of sporting honours. 15m per year is about as much as United get from sponsorship of the training bib.
Contrast that with our billionaire who has no sporting intent whatsoever, could be living on Uranus as far as his concerns for the club are. Even the chap at Newcastle has dipped into his pockets this year to buy players. The Glazers understand that sporting success brings dividends in the accounts. i have no problem with them really.

If all business people were ethical, arms companies should be handing out free prosthetics around the world each year.

I'm not for a minute trying to draw any favourable comparisons with Kroenke - he's a scumbag too. I'm under no illusions there. Legal and lawful are different things. Legality has become whatever a self-interested git writes on paper and can get enforced. Lawful has a spirit and equity and ethically and socially validates what's written on the paper and understood by those who give consent. There is no natural legality but there are natural laws that cannot be abrogated by legal force, which is in itself unlawful. For instance, statute becomes law when some cunt and his mates decree it and perform mumbo-jumbo rituals over it, it becomes legal by magic (or whatever you want to call it), but it is typically unlawful as it is absent consent and consideration. According to THEIR laws, btw - not my opinion. Ethics hardly comes into it, it has been a long time since the average legal techocrat (which is what they are) concerned himself with ethics unless there was a financial advantage attached to doing so. Which is why virtually nothing is lawful these days despite there being an ever increasing number of "laws". Btw I believe in law and hope it is practised again some time in the future. The Glaziers would be paupers under a just law because they refuse to work in order to sustain themselves.

If you are going to let this slime into football then it's obvious what you will get. The dates in the article are interesting, the correlation between Murdoch's arrival and the abandonment of the regulations that protected the game. Another scumbag who is allegedly a law abiding individual. Yeah right.

Anyway, one of them is dead already and the same fate awaits all of them. That's one natural law they can't get around.

Every day these arselicking media whores work to keep the Rooney myth rolling. The latest farce.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3286038/Wayne-Rooney-scored-Premier-League-goals-age-30-makes-10.html

Yay! That means shrek is the best ever!

Yesterday there were about 8 articles, this month has seen a TV program. The shit just goes on in worship of this bang average player who maybe had 3 decent seasons (decent mind, not Ronaldo or Messi seasons, just decent seasons). He's never been anything special and his record (not his dubious records) proves it. He's racked up a thoroughly meaningless England goal scoring record by banging goals in against part timers and pubbers. He's hardly got a goal against a major International opponent. He's dived for and taken HOW MANY pens? Fucking horrible cheat that he is. And now apparently he's scored the most PL goals by the age of 30, relegating Shearer (who was 5 times the player) to second and Henry (let's not even go there) to third.

Ignore the fact Rooney started in the PL at 16 whereas the PL didn't exist when Shearer was scoring goals in the old First Division. Or that Henry only arrived here at age 22 and left before he was 30, scoring all 174 goals in 7 years compared to fatty's 14 YEARS :haha:

In reality Rooney isn't fit to lick either Shearer or Henry's boots but that won't stop the cock swallowing journos jerking out their latest fantasies.

A damning statistic has emerged from the Premier League.

Arsenal pair Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil have created 81 chances in the Premier League this season - the same amout as the whole Manchester United squad.

In total, only Sunderland (74) and Aston Villa (80) have created fewer chances in England's top flight this term.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/mesut-ozil-and-santi-cazorla-have-created-as-many-chances-as-the-whole-manchester-united-squad-this-a6717601.html

Greater Manchester Police have come under criticism for sending an ill-advertised tweet in which they jokingly declare Wayne Rooney as a missing person, after the striker endured yet another anonymous performance for Manchester United in their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/wayne-rooney-greater-manchester-police-criticised-for-declaring-misfiring-striker-a-missing-person-a6717486.html

Stats reveal just how bad Rooney has been this year in the attacking third when compared to the previous three seasons.

As the infographic shows, Rooney is taking fewer shots per game than at any time since the beinning of the 12-13 season and of those shots he is converting fewer chances, less than 10 per cent in fact.

Rooney's goalscoring has completely dried up as well. For every 90 minutes played this season Rooney is scoring 0.20 goals, his lost mark in any of these four seasons. Last year that was 0.38, in 2013-14 it was 0.63 (when he scored 17 Premier League goals) and in 12-13 it was 0.54.

It's not as if he is helping other players either, completing just 31 passes per game, 11 less than last year; he is also only creating just one chance per game for his team-mates.

When your team is playing crap under the genius LVG. Mourinho is exactly what you need. The problem is that the United fans are far more vocal and vociferous than the Parvenu`s of Chelsea. If his team is playing crap they will mutiny for sure. Honestly I cant see United going for him, too toxic even for them. I hope im wrong.

4 great managers left in the game
Ancelotti......gone to Bayern
Guardiola.....gone to City
Klopp...........gone to Pool

Honestly think Pep's far more likely to end up here or at United than City. He's not a guy motivated by money and has always talked very favourably about us and United as institutions.

Anyway, it was reported in Italy yesterday that Mourinho rejected an offer to manage Roma because he's holding out for the Man United gig. Reading Redcafe, their fans are quite mixed about it - some of them (more the old school fans), to their credit see him as the odious vile slimeball he is who'd discard youth and their attacking philosphy for short term game in the process making enemies out of everyone and crashing out in the third season but the other half, the more johnny-come-lately gloryhunters are craving for him for his instant success.

What's clear though is that they all want Van Gaal gone now. Another loss in the next month and he's goner if he's not already.

I'd like to see him stick around up to and including the home game they have against Chelsea. I know that's less than a week away but that's an awfully long time in football.

Manchester United would be in further disarray with a managerial change before then. A chance to game-raise, show off in front of his home fans and get one over his Dutch compatriot Guus Hiddink may be an opportunity van Gaal just won't be able to pass up.

Kano

24-12-2015, 02:03 AM

One thing he's made clear since he came here is his utter disdain for the media. Part of that is his blunt Dutch personality but you see it regularly before and after games how secondary he thinks the media are to proceedings. That always gets the thumbs up from me, treat them how they deserve to be. Will laugh my head off more at Man Utd than the fact he's sacked if that happens. As a stabilising manager for the club post-Fergie and Moyes I think he's got enough in him to keep them in a CL qualifying spot for another season. After Fergie it was never going to be easy and I think with perspective, Utd are kind of where they should be. Changing and moving on from a football empire like the one Fergie oversaw was going to take years. Look at Liverpool once the last, great team at Anfield broke-up in the early 90's. We'll experience something similar once Wenger steps down too, although his lack of consistent success over the last part of his career will make the transition a bit easier. Owners permitted of course.

Penguin

24-12-2015, 09:44 PM

Stabilising them is fine but the guy has spent £250m. He should be winning the treble with that kind of spending. Mourinho, Mancini and Pellegrini have all bought league titles with crazy figures like that. The board gave him a war chest because they thought he could bring them silverware, not to scrape top four finishes. He's a flop.

It makes me laugh when people say his style of play is too boring for them though. Didn't Ferguson win multiple league titles by stockpiling 1-0 wins?

Marc Overmars

25-12-2015, 01:27 AM

I think United under Fergie were always capable of playing fast and precise attacking football. That they could also grind out wins was just another string to their bow. LvG hasn't been able to do either with this team despite all the money spent.

This is very good. Better to get the campaign rolling straight away. Over the next 6 weeks I expect wazza to become a very good playa indeed, right up there with Messinaldo tbf. And if Utd don't win the title, well.

While Wayne Rooney's knee injury represents the gravest of blows for Manchester United as they strive to save another under-whelming season, it does not necessarily have the same shock impact on England manager Roy Hodgson.

Club and international football can be uncomfortable bedfellows at times and traditionally that has never been more apparent than in the fluctuating relationship between England and United.

On this occasion there is no dispute. Rooney - the United and England captain - has a ligament injury that will repair only with six weeks or so of inactivity.

Nevertheless, as United prepare to muddle on without him, Hodgson, instead of worrying, should perhaps allow himself to contemplate the rare luxury of having a rested and repaired Rooney at his disposal for Euro 2016 this summer.

Not to mention all the others suspects. It might not have all the best players in the world in it but the PL will certainly have the highest managerial quality in it.

Wenger vs Pep vs Mourinho vs Conte vs Raineiri vs Pochettino vs Klopp

Not to mention Koeman, the New Everton manager (De Boer or Emery), Pulis, Allardyce, Pardew etc etc

Honestly apart from against the three promoted team there aren't many away games next season where I would confidently be able to predict three points. Wouldn't be surprised if a team manages to win the league with a point tally in the low 70's next year.

A true test of their abilities really because the standard of play has dropped season on season. Counter attacking and high intensity pressure are not conducive toward producing football that is consistently pretty on the eye but those are the fashionable tactics at the moment. We might see a shift back towards two strikers again given Leicester's success with it. With so much extra egotistical pride at stake in terms of the individual managerial battles you've listed it will probably just come down to winning at any cost. Let's see if these managers can salvage a league that now specialises in kick and rush.

It's going to be a real dog fight next season. Wenger needs to take it seriously because he doesn't want to end his career outside the Top 4. Luckily, City, Chelsea and Man Utd will need time to work out their systems and best starting 11. It's a small window of opportunity for us but if they all come out the blocks firing we could be in trouble. We've never had this level of competition in the Prem before.

Marc Overmars

24-05-2016, 10:26 AM

These guys won't need long to work out their best systems and even if they do, Wenger is still working out his system 10 years and counting. He's found it difficult enough to remain competitive over recent years when the quality of competition hasn't been as intense but now it looks like that window of opportunity has firmly closed.

At worst we'll still find our way to 4th though, of course.

Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie

24-05-2016, 10:54 AM

This is my thinking, come what may....Wenger will always get 4th place because that's the only thing he's under any pressure to attain.
It's not that he doesn't personally want to achieve more, but hes given too much freedom to prevaricate and be stubborn and inflexible.

I genuinely think if he was put under pressure to win the title than he'd probably find a way of doing it...Provided he spent.

Conte and Pep are in for a nasty shock. They won't have encountered anything like the PL before and it will take them time to lower themselves to the required level. Wait until they experience their first punch up at Stoke :haha: Those sharp suits won't stay unruffled for long. Pep will have it harder. Everyone will be out to beat him. He's going to start the season with 18 cup finals in a row. I think he might struggle initially.

Maureen at Utd is the one to watch. He's supposedly being given £200mill to spend and he'll be back to prove a point. I don't agree that he doesn't learn his lessons. He won't make a stupid mistake with the staff again. I do agree he's got a 3 year life expectancy though. Utd will be back to square one once he's blown through and out the other side.

Don't know anything much about Conte. He'll be surprised how many hyped up pubbers he's got in his squad so I guess he'll be hitting the transfer market hard too.

Wenger won't spend what's needed. That's about the only thing we can be sure of.

I hope Pep has a hard time. Highly rated as a coach but I don't think he's been tested at all. He has his history with Barca but Luis Enrique has a treble and just done the double with them for pete's sakes! It's not as if he didn't inherit a CL winning, title winning team at Barca.

Bayern - I'm not impressed. Inherited a terrible winning team in a league where nobody comes close to Bayern's financial might. To top it off, they decimated their closest rivals team. Winning domestic titles and trophies with Bayern is nothing to brag about.

City will be more of challenge but he's still gone for the team with the biggest wallet and spending power.

I don't agree that Mourinho will learn his lesson, his time at both Real Madrid and Chelsea evidence that this is a man with an acute personality disorder, and the way he is revered by the English media only serves to exacerbate his ilness.

What happened at Chelsea was so predictable, you combine mercenary players with a scumbag like Terry as the captain and place in a clinical narcissist who is unwillingly and unable to accept responsibility or fault for anything the only outcome is the brinksmanship that occurred in which Mourinho almost tried to engineer his own sacking rather than attempt to salvage the damage he helped create.

Man United will not tolerate the kind of behaviour from Mourinho if it turned inwards against the club. And they will be rid of him at the first sign of him getting up to his old tricks. Can you imagine the reaction from Mourinho to someone like Paul Scholes who has been very outspoken of his criticism of the type of football played by LVG.
Mourinho can't handle criticism, he will just respond with ad hominem remarks....it will all end in tears because it cannot be any other way with a man like that.

I can see why Guardiola's ability is doubted but for Barca, he didn't inherit a CL winning, title winning team or at least not in the way it is portrayed. They were trophyless for two seasons, finished third in the league in Rijkaard's last season and it was a lazy, disinterested non-functioning mess.

He got rid of Deco and Ronaldinho and from that the team really began to focus on Xavi, Iniesta and Messi (plus brought in Pique and Dani Alves along with Busquets being promoted from the B team). Of course having those first three is greatly going to enhance your chances but it's from Guardiola's management that team took shape - it was not left to him by Rijkaard; Messi was a winger for Rijkaard. In fact he was for much of the 08/09 season until the winter when he moved inside and what happened...happened.

What I mean is it wasn't a long climb to the top. Two seasons without a trophy but finishing 2nd and 3rd isn't far fall from grace. He still inherited a very good side. They had Henry, Xavi, Messi, Eto'o, Puyol, Abidal, Iniesta.....enough there before him to mount a title challenge and not a lot of ground to make up from after Rijkaard. You should be able to make something of a team that good. I think the football he produced and the discipline he got at of that bunch is something special but if he didn't have those players or the funds, could he produce that level of football?

McNamara That Ghost...

24-05-2016, 08:28 PM

I don't really like 'inherited' because to me it's used as a wiper to take away a lot of the skill management requires.

Also he then went on to win without having Henry, Eto'o, Puyol and Abidal (though due to cancer treatment in the latter's case).

And no he can't produce that level of football but that should be no slant against him because for me, I don't think it possibly can be topped or equalled (thinking 10/11).

Power n Glory

24-05-2016, 08:38 PM

I think it's only right to acknowledge that factor. What do you make of Luis Enrique's dominance?

I'll give Pep is credit for his innovation and the level of dominance he displayed with that team. But I'd have way more respect for him if he were able to do what Wenger, Simeone and Klopp have done. Taken teams that were not considered to be title contenders and turned them into just that.....and actually winning the title.

McNamara That Ghost...

24-05-2016, 09:31 PM

He has done very well, obviously. As a team I don't think they work quite so well; they have the ridiculously potent front three but the midfield does not dominate in the same way. Also I don't think feel his ethos is quite stamped all over the team in the same way Guardiola's was.

He started at Barcelona, players aren't going to go to the smaller clubs; career managers won't be either.

What is long term failure? His track record is that he wins the league literally everywhere he goes.

Chelsea remained successful in the years following his first departure, they even made the CL final the same season he left. His grubby prints were all over that team.

Long term success is a bit of a myth these days, clubs don't employ managers with the remit of treading water for years until the objective is reached (unless you're Arsenal). United made that mistake with Moyes and his 6 year deal, I'm sure it's a mistake they will not be making again.

Who would though?

The likes of Wenger and Ferguson building dynasties at a club are a thing of the past in the modern game - the average shelf life of most managers is barely over a year right now. If you're lucky you can get a decent manager for a 3 - 5 year period where they win some trophies before they move on either out of their own accord or are forced out.

As NQ says it's wishful thinking to make out that Mourinho is a failure in any way; his trophy haul speaks for itself. His third season is usually a failure but none of the clubs he's been at have completely collapsed after he's left though - Chelsea and RM are still big clubs and are still challenging for honours.

There's no doubting the man's managerial talent. His character on the other hand, yes ........ weapons grade cuntism. After three years of poor league performances (finishing behind us in all of them) it seems both Man Utd fans and their board are desperate enough to ignore his character flaws to want him to manage them and tbh there were times in this season where I was as well.

Later in the 2014–15 season there was more astonishing stuff from Jose after Chelsea won 5–0 at Swansea. When I congratulated Mourinho he was already looking forward to the next day's clash between Manchester City and Arsenal.

He declared: 'Yes was good, now let's see s*** Arsenal.' We were both convinced City would win but Arsenal won 2–0.

I told Jose they'd actually done a 'Chelsea' and copied his game plan from a year ago and his emailed response left me gobsmacked.

First he joked: 'Mr Wenger gets new 5 years contract' but then he claimed '(One of the Arsenal players) sent me an SMS to say players did themselves, organised themselves during the week. Wenger did nothing.'

The beef between Fergie and Wenger was only ever about football hence why there was a grudging respect.

He'd love it if Wenger snapped one day and sunk to his level.

I really sympathise with him, it's a bit like myself and thousands of other fans who have been priced out of going to football so the managers and players can be paid 3 years average salary a week. I once had to stay in a hotel free of charge. Mine wasn't 5 star so I have no real idea what the bloke's going through.

Let's be fair, does anyone believe he is actually at this job for anything other than money

He doesn't seem particularly concerned about setting the record straight after his ignominious end at Chelsea

United are just a big cash register for him

People who work on off shore oil rigs spend far longer away from their families in far less comfortable surroundings and for far less money.

Nah, don't buy that for a minute. He's more than minted from all his pay offs, salaries and endorsements. He'd love nothing more than to feed his ego and be top of the pile again but his ten year golden period is over, the same as almost every successful manager there has been in the game.

I'm not stating that article as fact, my point is that, that view isn't as out there as you suggest

I do think there is the Ego thing, but I think he genuinely believes himself so superior that he almost has nothing to prove. Where he has failed in the past it will always have been someone else's fault not his, so no reason to set the record straight

I just didn't see the post match interview of someone who was going to tear strips out of his players, it was someone who barely seemed to give a fuck.

Marc Overmars

26-10-2016, 04:19 PM

I just think he knows he can't afford to let his abrasive nature get the better of him again. He got away with it at Chelsea for so long because they are shameless, at United I think he would get called out for it. He won't be allowed to drag their name through the mud.

If things go sour he may not find himself managing a club of this stature again and his seemingly passive nature right now is indicative of that.

My hope is that it all builds up inside and one day this season he lets it all out and goes mental. Then it's bye bye Mourinho for good.

His weird Frank Grimes behaviour with Wenger has already been laughed out of town, even by United fans.

Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling are fighting for their futures at Manchester United following Jose Mourinho's furious accusation that some of his players lack the toughness to play through pain.

The England pair missed the club's 3-1 Premier League victory at Swansea City on Sunday after telling the United manager they were unable to play. Mourinho launched a stinging public attack after having to select a makeshift defence for the clash, declaring: 'We have players with problems.'

The manager delivered a similar message in the dressing room to the players, giving those present the impression the absent pair may have no future at the club.

:haha:

This has happened a lot quicker than I expected. Got to be some sort of a mental health problem.

'I said yesterday at the press conference,' Mourinho told ESPN Brasil.
'The Arsenal manager hasn't won a championship in 14 years [sic – Wenger's last league title was in 2004]. I haven't won a championship in 18 months.
'He, in 14 years, failed to build a team to be champion. I've been here for four months. And the demand is only for me and not for others.'

"When I won the last title 18 years ago - sorry, 18 months ago - I had something like 10 points advantage and then in one month I had the same points as Man City," he told reporters.

"We recovered and won that title. But you can recover points. Other teams can lose points. During the season there are moments where everything goes against you and where everything goes in your favour.

"We know that the game is not over - but the reality is that there is a distance, and there are many quality teams. It's a very difficult competition, but let's go match by match and see what happens. We play another difficult game on Sunday - let's see if we can get the three points."

I do like Lukaku. It's a shit load of money, but they can spend that no problem, so why not.

He's still young, has scored at a good rate for getting on 4/5 years at decent-but-not-great clubs, so I don't see why he can't improve on it even further at United. He has plenty of areas to improve but I'm not sure who is out there and available who would be better right now.

Fees across the board now are mental, £50m is almost the new £25m.

I'm a bit confused because I haven't seen anything from Ollie Holt or Martin Samuel (in the last 10 minutes) calling everyone a cunt for not giving Wazza the credit he deserves. Well it currently looks like Utd will be getting zero credit from the free transfer, and Everton seem intent on cutting the credit in half with the wage offer. Anyone would think the player's form has dipped or something.

This whole agent thing is hugely suspicious. Clubs could easily save themselves a fortune every year by banding together and refusing to deal with agents. What would players do? Give up football in protest?

The agents are undoubtedly scum who skim for a living. However, I have no doubt they spend a fair bit of time passing brown envelopes to whiter than white characters who nobody is trying very hard to catch in the act.

Such a corrupt "sport". Except for the PL which is completely clean.
