What happened to his 2nd stint at Madrid?! Perez failed to support him to get HIS players?!
Was it a failure by your assessment?

No he didn't. It was la Liga he won in his 2nd stint. He has shown he has the ability to adopt to the players at his disposal.
Thank you for the correction.

When he returned to Madrid from 2019 to 2021, how many UCL or Trophies did he win?!

BTW.....check the squad he managed in his 2nd stint and compared it with squad he managed in his first stint, then you gonna understand why he is gonna fail woefully at United - with this our current squad.
If the club can splash over 300m when ETH joined us newly, is it when a top manager like Zidane joins that we won't splash the cash? Zidane will overhaul the squad so, you can't start making predictions until you see the players we sign and the ones we let go.

...I missed nothing bro. Read Ellexy's position on this matter. Zizou was lucky to manage stars-studded Squad at Madrid. Most of the players also are at the peak level.

Below was Zizou's Squad, tell me just a player in our current team that can make bench, coz non can make first Eleven definitely.

Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Ruben Yañez.

Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Danilo, Raphael Varane, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Nacho Fernandez, Marcelo, Fabio Coentrao.

Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Luka Modric, Marco Asensio, Isco Alarcon, James Rodriguez, Mateo Kovacic, Martin Odegaard.

Attackers: Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Alvaro Morata, Mariano Diaz, Lucas Vazquez.
Zidane won the UCL without Ronaldo and Ramos.

His style? Quick transition football from defence team to attack. Once in attack, anyway na way. Whether cross and nod or shot from outside the box or beautiful one-two football to open the opponent up. What Zidane's Madrid was known for is what Erik Bin Laden has been struggling to mould our team into...

We will be clearing out a lot of deadwood this summer so, I expect the club to spend a significant chunk in the transfers market.

Russia wouldn’t even do that. because they know Ukraine was a trap the US had set in order to engage in a war with them. And this is because the US are actually expecting the Russians to do their worst or use WMDs on Ukraine so they can have that excuse
Which kind small pikins talk be this one? Russia is bombing Ukraine back to the stone age and you're here writing like a baby in international politics. Saying the US is trying to goad Russia into a trap, the same Russia that stepped into Syria and today Assad is still alive. If only Gaddafi had ran to Putin, he'd still be alive.

You think if NATO had put in their full might and engaged in a full blown war, that the Russians would have been able to hold out this long? You sound funny though
Do you also think Russia is going as hard as they would if they were directly in a conflict with say, the USA?

Any direct interaction the U.S army has with the Russian army leads to WW3 asap. Both countries respect themselves.

Funny though how this war has lasted about 3 years now. Russia really thought Ukraine would be a walkover.

Do you know how much worth of weapons NATO countries have donated to Ukraine? Russia is one you should be praising for taking on the might of NATO and still winning.

You know the manager has to earn that stability yeah? There is no club in the world where that is the default behavior. If half of the team is not playing as you want them to or something close, you have already failed as a manager. This does not apply to football alone

The thing is Ten Hag fvcked up and I'm not in anyway implying that he should be given time. In fact, If Arteta have been sacked during the time we were playing horrible football and getting bad results, I won't have regretted it cos it was that baaad.

I dunno if Ten Hag is a good coach but one thing I do know is that your squad Is bad and with right recruitment, a good coach will bring this club up. Ten Hag just proved that he's not good at picking players(same possibly as Arteta). As for been a good coach.... Tbh, I don't know cos he's not even covering himself in glory.

Lastly, let me just make it clear. It's not about the finances only, it's about recruitments. Arteta first signings he recommended were luiz, Willian, One defender from Brazil league (I've forgotten his name). If you guys gets your recruitment right(without relying on ETH), maybe, just maybe, you might see a different ETH.
If you hold out that you must be allowed to recruit your team in your own place of work because of your performance in another company/organisation and you're given such privilege then, you deserve to be sacked if you and your team fail to meet set milestones...

There was little pattern of play in his 6 months (the season he replaced Emery)
But Omorr, his first full season (the season we finished 8th again) no pattern of his plan showed and this is coming from me who is an ardent supporter and fan of Arteta right from day one. At a point I was so fed up that I don't mind him being sacked. Football was so horrible and results was very very bad. At a point we were actually winning once a month for upto 3 straight months.

The upturn was when he overhauled the team again and with the help of Edu, we bought all these guys we're parading now, that was when we started seeing this football. And to be honest, it wasn't even immediately. It still took till around December (2021) before we could see the good football
I think you are a nice guy, a courteous one but please don't insult our sensibilities here for whatever reason.

Arteta and Arsenal did not have the financial war chest you would normally associate with a club like United so, whilst it took Arteta a couple of seasons/transfer windows to get the right players in, at United, with 2-3 transfer windows, a coach would have spent the equivalent to sort out the playing personnel but what did we get? Please answer...

The man came in and asked to be given full control over who comes and who goes and much to the disappointment of most United fans, he decided to keep a majority of the players that were deemed surplus to the requirements by an experienced head in Rangnick...If Arteta had the finances, he'd never have struggled all those years. The pressure Arteta is beginning to face now is due to the amount of money he has spent over the past 2 seasons without results (Trophies) to show for it.

this shows that you don't have a functional thought process. You will support whoever is coming, then go on to disprove of such if things go south.

Its so easy to sit on a chair and brandish solutions to problems that you are not adept at solving. The last time we discussed this was when OLe left. Ragnick came and you were all over place with optimism until the reality of the situation dawned and you embarked on a crying session.

TEN HAGG came and your optimism level rose, all for it to go south again when the reality of the situation dawned again.

For how long are you going to toe this line of increased-optimism-turned-crying?

Let me tell you what you should just know. Eras come to an end. And it takes a while for a once glorious club to reach its peak again, especially when competition becomes intensified.

The glory years of Liverpool came and gone. The club is trying to bring it back, not successful yet.

The glory years of arsenal as a contending force (under Arsene) came and gone, the club is still trying to replicate such, and it might come soon.

The glory years of Chelsea came with Abrahamovich/Jose. Right now, the club is a shadow of what it used to be.

The glory years of Manchester United came with fergie and ended with him. We are trying all possibilities to get it back, which would not be easy too.

We are in the glory years of Manchester city/Guardiola. It will not last forever, but it will take its rightful course.


No matter how hard we try, there is a high possibility that arsenal will win the epl before manutd in the event of Mancity's eventual decline.


But you may not accept all these because you have been used to seeing winning trophies as an exclusive right of Manchester United. It is not.


Any world class manager with a sense of pride will run away from managerial role in Manchester United because they know it is a hot seat that can put a blemish on their rich managerial profile. To assemble an unbeatable team ( right manager and right players simultaneously) is not a matter of one or two seasons.

If you are blessed with a manager with a proven record and such is not performing in two seasons, calling for his head will only amount to starting all over again. Reflect back on the early seasons of Jurgen klopp finishing in mid-table. Many more indices can be used to understand the present predicament of the club, not just focusing on the managerial roles alone.
I know you will disagree if I said our home Stadium is Old Trafford because you are wired to always take a different turn from mine for whatever reason that I care less about...

At Manchester United, we do not have the luxury of waiting for decades any longer because we have the finances to get us the best managers and players. I am not against Ten Hag because I hate him but because when I do a comparative analysis of what we spend vis-a-vis our rivals and try to project where we should be, we are far off (It does not even look like we have made a step further). ETH came in and I, like many others were excited based on what he achieved when he was at Ajax not just in the Eredivisie but in the UCL...Has he lived up to expectations? No...We still play like ours is a football club packed with strangers but I should stick with ETH even when I'm certain I'm not God thus can be wrong sometimes...I am happy to disappoint you, I am not that person...

ETH has failed thus far because we can't see imprints of his ideas and style and worst of we are not showing any signs of progress...Show him the door!

you will always complain about any manager that comes. Maybe the board should ask you to personally pick a manager. Then, you will stop being a perennial complainant. How long was Fergie here before he could solidify his stay to guarantee success?
Even if I pick a manager and he doesn't deliver, I will still call for his sack...If you have a problem then, that's your headache.

For Mainoo and Casemiro, we have Amrabat and Mount fit ffs, why's he not trying any of the two..

ETH squad management is extremely poor..
I am quite sure if you go back to last season, you go see where some of us talk am. I don't need a manager to be here for more than a year to decide if we are heading in the right direction...
