patrickmuf:
How much did we spend on Lukaku, Pogba, Maguire etc? With same amount, City will buy 6-7 players but no, they buy more players so we should blame the Glazers.

I hope you know there’s a difference between spending on players & spending on players to win the league.

It’s a myth that the Glazers have spent money. What percentage of United’s revenue go into buying players? You would find out it’s the smallest in the top 6 by a considerable distance.

United’s peers in Europe are Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich but I doubt any of United’s players get an automatic start in any of those clubs. That should be your first indicator that United don’t spend as much as their status dictates.

When Pep & Jose arrived in the summer of 2016, the only world class player in United was David De Gea. City had De Bruyne, Aguero, Fernandinho, Kompany and Sterling.

Pep has gone on to add another 36 players to that list with a total outlay of £832m. Manchester United under Jose and Ole combined added only 19 players that cost less than £700m.

Yes, the Glazers have spent money but if they cannot outspend Man City who actually have a better structure and manager, there’s no chance we will ever see a Premier League victory under the Glazers.

The other option is to do it the Liverpool way - give an elite manager about 5 years to build a squad. The only problem with this option is Manchester United’s status. They are too big to give any manager more than 3 years to build a squad without a trophy. The fans will not sit through it.

Liverpool were able to do this because they had waited 30 years without a league title - the fans expectation was very low. And even if United fans become patient, United’s manager is not elite at all to see out the project.

In conclusion, United are in big trouble unless they outrightly outspend their rivals or sack Ole.

Meanwhile, Lingard to score the winning goal that knocks us out of the FA Cup or not?

nitrogen:
Lol, you have energy.

Illimitable:
United can never win a league title under the Glazers.

It’s not like the Glazers don’t know what to do about adding elite players to the squad but it’s not worth their while and it does even make any sense from the business standpoint.

The difference in the prize money between the league champions and 4th position is less than £15m. The Glazers will need to spend at least £400m to overpower their rivals to win the league and apart from the bragging rights from fans, the reward is nothing.

Woodward is looking at the cost and effect and he’s thinking why should I use £400m to chase £15m prize money when he can just finish 3rd or 4th(qualify for Europe) and keep the £400m in the bank?

HitlerGaddafi:
Which title are you talking about sir.?

olabode89:
8 to 10 M small o... Lingard na England International jare, make them drop at least 15M.

Oasis007:


Make una forget Awoof Title. If una want win the League, make una win am honorably.

We need to stop fasting and praying that our Rivals drop points so as to win the League, rather we should focus on building a formidable, unbeatable Squad.

ChristineC:
bad joke.
you do realize there's yet 50 points to play for?

handelex:
As expected. City always beats Burnley, surprised it wasn't a proper thrashing.

Oasis007:


Joyful L you mean?!

handelex:
Tbh that kind of L is what we all want

Oasis007:


Lagos no be Uyo nah. Pep no be OG.

Oasis007:


Borussia Dortmund have reduced their asking price for Jadon Sancho to €100m due to the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.

That Obafemi Picture Airmark posted during his press conference

My hate for Soton grew after that game

patrickmuf:
Lol I didn't see this reply coming...

Doranzy:
I think we do

patrickmuf:
As an aside, what changed yesterday?

Shaw and AWB suddenly learnt how to cross?

Or was it a case of better movement from our forwards?

Or was a tactical switch in our play?

I noticed that for every time the ball was in and around the Southampton box, we had at least 2-3 players lurking with intent...

I hope it isn't because of the red card overall because we played some scintillating attacking football yesterday...

Doranzy:
Oga i dey fence na
If I see bad thing make I no take??

You see when setting agenda, there are always trap you set to make agenda more sweet.

Now, anyone who watched and followed our games in 2016/2017 will know we started prioritizing the Europa league ahead of finishing in top 4 like 3-4 games to the end of the season. The winner of the Europa league gets automatic qualification into the UCL the following season.

You win what’s in front of you, Mou met us at the Europa league and won it for us.

Magician Ole has took us to Europa league twice now and has had chances to win the “easy” cups which he has bottled back to back now.

How has Ole done more for us in the UCL than Mou? Just how? Mou never failed to qualify us for the UCL and never failed to progress from the group. Can the same be said of Sir Ole the Great?

Sevilla demolish us at OT when the score line was 2-1 and 2-1 on aggregate after 2 legs but the one Sir Ole the Great lost was because “our players” were missing chances. As if these same players were not missing chances during Mou time.

This is the hypocrisy of Olesexual and I am here to call you all out.

larride:
Fraudinho that has been your best manager post SAF.

The same person attacking Fergie for not jumping up n down on the touchline during our 3-1 loss to the All conquering Barca all in a bid to defend a much younger Ole.

All hail Ole, the best thing after moi moi

CapitalCee:
Lol. So na Covid-19 De worry me since Weekend. Result came positive yesterday. I am almost recovered now sha. To isolate for 10 days.

Moyes finished empty handed

Van Gaal won a trophy

Mourinho won 3 trophies, qualified United for champions league KO stage throughout his stay at United. He inherited the Europa league from Van Gaal in his first season and won the competition.

Ole has done nothing.

If we go by geometric progression, Ole has failed as he should be doing better than Jose after 2 years. He’s spent close to £300m plus using some of the assets acquired under Mourinho.

So why has he failed to achieve 20% of Jose’s glory?
