You are right. We did not understand what we were getting into. Everybody was happy that a successful manager at Ajax was coming to OT. We just started scrutinizing his CV. It’s getting clearer that the guy is not there yet and he’s not even close.

Fans are allowed not to know what they are getting into, not club owners. And are you saying they started scrutinizing his CV AFTER employing him? grin You are worse than Maguire's mother. LOL

Anyway some of us here called it that he needed another person around him to help with squad building, cos anybody who follows football closely knows that Overmars firstly and VDS were the people who built those Ajax teams. If you are saying the Manchester United ownership and management did not know this, then the fault is theirs.

I am not a DDG fan. I wanted him gone too, but was hoping we’d get another keeper, not Onana. Ball playing keeper my foot!

You gerrit. We want an upgrade on Degea, not a downgrade. Onana is really a downgrade to Degea.

I wanted Diogo Costa. Onana's brain touch moments are not new to me but even i am a bit surprised at how beatable he has been.

Well, I am sure they knew, reason they planned to have Ralf around him. I think the issue started when ETH asked for control. It was part of his conditions to take the job. We could not have said no to him at that point because the fans were already expecting ETH, plus there were no alternatives in the market.

Lol. We all know how keepers make key saves to keep teams in a game or ensure their teams savage 1 point or all three points.

We don’t even last minutes on the pitch before this guy opens yansh yakata. Wtf! Onana has been conceding simple goals.
You see that third goal yesterday, na dat one even pain me pass. Joao Pedro didn't even add power to that shot! Like wtf!! angry angry

If VAR was used correctly, we should have conceded a penalty against Wolves due to Onana's error. He should thank the referee for helping him out

The pressure was too much na. We sacked Ole, and quickly snapped up Ralf, the mistake they made was having him manage the team, I am sure ETH saw his performances and said no to having him around him. Plus ETH is a stubborn goat. Honestly!

If you are saying they depend on the fans for direction then we are in trouble. It is this PR-driven policy that has led us to this. "What will people say" is what they think about rather than "What is the smart/right thing to do". Imagine giving a man who was not even in charge of building squads of 100-200m total control of building a squad of 500m-900m. WITH NO EVIDENCE.

They get their instructions from fans that are so fickle that they will turn on a manager after 2 poor results. There is one popular YouTuber who was selling ETH "Ten Heisenberg" T-shirts a few weeks ago. The same guy is now ETH out. grin
Meanwhile when it comes to selling the club like most fans want, they have not done that one o. But when it comes to making ridiculous decisions they obey the fans.

I think Rashford's matter has always been a case of "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed fellow is king".

Truth is that his football growth hasn't turned out the way we envisaged and it's rather unfortunate.
Rushford would have turned out greater if Fergie was still here.

Remember that guy was a prolific young lad, netting twice, I think in his debut game against arsenal, which ended up a rout against the gunners. He scored in his debut for the three lions. He started just like rooney until Fergie left and moyes took over. The laters' spell dimmed the shinning lights of Rashy, cleverly, januzaj, Rafael and lots of other youngsters.

Honestly, looking back now, I can give Fergie his flowers cos the man did wonders with average united players at some point during his time. Eg is Madrid vs United in Bernabeau where welbeck lead the attack...plus so many other average players and they held their own in a double legged fixture which they lost due to Nanny red card.

People like cleverly and welbeck would have peaked at United If Fergie was still the manager.

Bad coach really dealt Rashy and so many others a blow, my guy.

But y’all say the fans are important, we need to please the fans, after all they drive the cashflow. Same way customers determine a company’s products.

Anyway, in this case, we wanted to have a ‘fantastic’ manager on board. This is not the first time clubs meet managers’ conditions. ETH had some leverage due to his stint at Ajax plus we have not had a good manager in ages.

LOL. I am not waiting for the day you blame the Glazers for anything.

You hear that a man built a nice bungalow. However, he didn't design the house, hire the labourers or buy the building materials. You now give him contract to build your high-rise. This time however you allow him to design the house, employ labourers, and buy the materials. You are now acting shocked that the high-rise is crumbling.

It's not all about money. That is why clubs like Brighton play good football and beat bigger clubs. Their owners understand football management. When you see their dedication to their clubs and to the game, their good relationship with the fans. Look at mancity for example. Look at the dedication of their owners towards the club. When they came into the club 2008, mancity was like Luton of today. They didn't take from the club, but they invested heavily in the club with good relationship with the fans.

I've said it before, and I will say it again; football management without dedication and involving the fans is bound to fail massively. It's a pity that the glazers took this path of failure with my darling club manutd. And it's crazy they still holding on to the club after announcing their intention to sell.

In specific terms, what should the Glazer do that they are not doing currently

Leyqute, Lacey played for the Under-21s in a friendly and provided the assist for the only goal of the game.

Yeah. That u21 match was today.

You can see what I was talking about the other day?

Seems as if they are rushing him. I don’t think he’s ready for that level. Yet.

Well, i already blamed them for giving Ralf the coaching job that made everyone give up on him.

Btw, the guys that build skyscrapers started from somewhere. Someone gave them the chance to move away from Bungalows to mid-rises and then skyscrapers, and trusted them to do everything. It’s called a turnkey construction/contract. Experience comes through more/higher responsibilities.

So you will allow someone who had limited role and extensive support in building a bungalow have total control building your high-rise? Or will you ensure he has that same extensive support in building your high-rise? Dey play. Anyway, we are where we are now.

P.S I didn't give up on Ralf. Back then I said something along the lines of it was like sacking your plumber for not doing a good job with the carpentry job you urgently begged him to do for you.
