If you ask me na who i go ask.
Lol.

Should've thrown in the towel earlier.

The beating was too severe. He was knocked down on several occasions before the ref stepped in and said o to ge.

I can't imagine the number of injuries he must've sustained.

Lol.

Did Joel Glazer whisper this to you in a dream?
Na before I dey always vex at your ignorance but now, I go dey take the pains to educate you..

Please see below

David Moyes:
"I knew Manchester United need to qualify for the Champions League," Moyes told Sky Sports."I think Manchester United need to be there. They are a club of status and want to be at that level, if not more.
"They want to be winning it if they can, nevermind qualifying for it. That's what happens at Manchester United. It's that level."
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/sport/football/644074/Manchester-United-Louis-van-Gaal-David-Moyes-warning-News-Gossip/amp

Independent:
The mathematical impossibility of United finishing in the top four this season, following their 11th Premier League defeat of the season at Goodison Park on Sunday, means that United need only give Moyes a one-year pay-off under the terms of his five-year deal, rather than honour the full four years left on that contract. Ryan Giggs could then take over as caretaker manager for the final four games of the season

Leyqute:
Manager says he wants to buy Kroos, you're saying he has no business wanting Kroos because he was tasked with UCL qualification.

No be awawi be that?
Kroos was to be signed in the next TW, fortunately Moyes was sacked before then. How is this hard to understand?

Please see below in Yoruba:

Kroos fe towo bo iwe fun Man utd ni next transfer window, sugbon isé bo lowo Moyes ki igba yen toh de

Independent:
The prospect of securing players such as Southampton's Luke Shaw and Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos would be even more challenging if United were under the leadership of a lame-duck manager, as well as unable to offering such recruits Champions League football next season.

You didn't disprove anything, you only highlighted your comprehension issues yet again

For the umpeeth time, Fellaini and Baines were the practical targets at that time.

Practical in this context, means realistic.

Leyqute:
You argued that the United top management ALWAYS supported their coaches every transfer window. (Which is wrong).

I don't know why you think totalling transfer spends over the years and slapping the figure in front of us proves that. That's primary school erroneous thinking.
You have been presented with the facts on ground - the board has been Uber supportive to all managers that have sat in that dugout.

Take a step back, get a basic grasp of how things work and Stop blaming the Board unnecessarily!!

There's no need to throw insults unnecessarily. It's quite immature.

Pep won the league and was not satisfied with his team. Then hr went to buy Graelish for 100m. He did the same thing with Haaland. Did Man City board deny him of those signings?

No.

Now, you're bringing Zidane into the matter, as if Madrid has a reputation of not backing their managers.

Did Zidane believe his team was incomplete and wanted an important addition and Perez failed to buy it for him? Is it not the same Madrid that buys players even before the season ends?

If you don't have knowledge and understanding, ask for it. No need to be hyperventilating like 100L girl wey offend cultist.
You are the one hyperventilating.

Moyes had title winning team. Zidane had title winning team. Moyes flopped. Just qualify us for UCL.

His names were not available. Make them kidnap them?

At least, qualify us for UCL make we see how things go be next seaso, Baba flopped. All coaches have always been backed. And it's fact.

By your logic, Leicester was also a title winning team in 2016. They only needed one addition (like Marouane Fellaini) to get top 4 in 2017.

You like plenty unnecessary shalaye.

And you keep jumping from post to corner.

Formerly, you said Nwoyes didn’t have any targets apart from Baines and Fellaini. Now, you’re saying he didn’t have “practical targets”. Next time, maybe you’ll say he didn’t have “theoretical targets”

Was Robinho a practical target when City (who was promoted 5 years prior and couldn’t even make top 4) got him?

You go explain taya.

Wetin concern Robinho for this matter?

Anyways, let me indulge you a bit...

Robinho was to be offered to Man UTD + cash in exchange for CR7 - a move that didn't materialize at that time.

His Transfer to England was a deadline transfer, and he didn't even know the club he was joining....

Robinho:
"I knew I was going to play in England but I didn't know for which team and I was very happy when I found that I had the opportunity to play for Manchester City.
"It was on the very last minute but with me it has always been like that.

I would take 2nd in the league and a good run in the UCL and FA Cup (SF in both competitions). I can just about manage QF in UCL if we lose honourably to an exceptional team. The team must also improve in terms of the quality of the football.

If not, ETH go just explain tire but no evidence say e try him best.

You said Nwyoyes' transfer targets were not "practical" enough. Or that they were "unrealistic". It's bullsheet.

That's why I bought up Robinho. You would never imagine him going to City. It wasn't as if he was offered to City. City were looking for more quality players, saw the opportunity, and swooped in.

Was Robinho a realistic target for Mark Hughes? City got him.

Was Sneidjer also realistic for SAF in 2012? Did we chase him all summer? Did Man Utd buy him?

Your original premise that United's top management ALWAYS backed their coaches is a bold faced fallacy. It only exists in your own world.

Another round of bollocks again - a clear backdrop of comprehension issues as usual.

I clearly stated that Robinho was to be used as a pawn in Madrid's move for Ronaldo. It didn't materialize and they decided to cash in on him instead in the final minutes of the TW

Your "facts" are fallacious and illogical lol. You think net spend for each manager is the same thing as support. That's naive and shallow. A grown ass man shouldn't even be thinking like that.

The lack of direction is why they spend heavily unnecessarily (Lukaku, Antony, etc) AND also penny pinch when they should be investing heavily in the team.

They usually go limp in the TW after we qualify for the UCL. (There’s enough facts to back this up)

I could say this is the first time they’d back a manager in his 2nd or 3rd season in years and I wouldn’t be far from the truth. The last manager that enjoyed this benefit was LvG.
But our board dont just buy players and impose them on the manager.

They buy what the manager request for.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TheLequte: 10:38pm On Jul 30, 2023
Man Utd hired Mourinho in 2016.

In his first transfer window (16/17), we signed these players:

Pogba (105m Euros)
MKhitaryan (42m Euros)
Eric Bailly (38m Euros)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Free)

Major outgoings were Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay.

This transfer window was okay . You could say Mourinho was backed.

That season, we finished 6th. Won Europa, Community Shield and Carabao cup, I think.

We seriously needed to reinforce midfield (to "unlock" Pogba) and sttengthen our defence. We also needed a striker because Zlatan was old and he had a serious injury that we didn't think he would return 100% from.

The next transfer window (17/18),

IN:

Romelu Lukakau (84m Euro)
Matic (44m)
Lindelof (35m)
Sanchez (34m)

Again, you could say the manager was backed.

Season results: 2nd. No trophies.

We gave City a weak chase until maybe January. There was a huge gap between us and City in the end. Plus Mourinho was already getting dissatisfied with some of his players. We just needed to up our squad so that we can meet up with City.

Season 18/19 INs:

Fred (59m Euros)
Diogo Dalot (22m)
Lee Grant (1m)

Where is the backing here?

Result: We finished 6th or something. Mourinho raved and cried during preseason about not getting players and he was sacked 3 months or so into the season.

AdisaOwala, this is what I expected you to do for each manager, not the wuru wuru to the answer you did earlier. Don't just add the transfer figures of all the players a manager signed and present it as analysis. That's a very shallow take.

If that rubbish is accepted at your Fehingbole High School, it is not accepted here.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TheLequte: 10:44pm On Jul 30, 2023
Think about this:

Rasmus Hojlund is actually the first promising out and out striker we've actually invested in and signed for the long term since we bought Lukaku in 2017 (8 years ago). The strikers we've been getting since then have been stop gaps: Zlatan, Cavani, WeGhost, Ighalo, etc.

Seriously praying Hojlund will come good.

He added Fred and Dalot (his requests) to his expensive squad that finished 2nd in the previous season yet you are still here embarrassing yourself.
