Kompressor Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Be more specific, which parts exactly are shit and why? In regard to City I'll pre-empt your response by saying the City owners came in, installed football in people to take care of the football side of things (the Barca two) and good marketing people to take care of the business side of things. They've spent shitloads on players and managers but have also put the work in on the structure of the club. Their CEO was Vice President at Barca during a very successful period. Begiristain was DOF at Barca during much of the same period. Now he's at City too. These are people who you would bet on knowing what they are doing. If I told you that at United the man doing the job that these two are doing was an investment banker up untill 2005 you'd say I must have the info muddled up. Context, while the Barca two were workin their way to developing a team that would look to dominate European football long term our guy was working for J.P. Morgan. They also have Brian Marwood, who tbh I'm not sure on his influence or results, but he's another with an extensive background in football. Who is sat in at Board meetings. United's board meetings consist of Fergie sneakily sipping whisky under the table, Charlton eating pistachios, (think Uncle Junior in the Soprano's in the later years), Glazer's checking in via Skype and money men. There's a big difference here and it needs to be addressed. City have changed much of the personel and the structure, they have however done it professionally and looked to the top clubs to pick up people looking for new challenges who already had expertise, experience and probably contacts within the game. There was a time when United moved to Carington to set up training ground and facilities there. Quickly afterwards City looked over and said ohh we want to do that. Now we have a situation where what City do United look over and say wow why didn't we think of that? We should do that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Luv Doc Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 To be fair from 2005 to 2011 we spent  18 mill on Carrick 18 mill on Nani 20 mill on Anderson 17 mill on Hargreaves 30 mill on Berbatov 5 mill on Rafael 16 mill on Valencia 6 mill on Hernandez 12 mill on Smalling 18 mill on De Gea 16 mill on Jones 17 mill on Young  While bidding for players like Hazard but he chose Chelsea because alot of the players wifes and girlfriends prefer living in London    You man were dominante during the SAF last few years with players far worse than what you have now.  SAF needs to save you.  /  Peak for Arsenal post AW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Luv Doc Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015   To be fair from 2005 to 2011 we spent  18 mill on Carrick 18 mill on Nani 20 mill on Anderson 17 mill on Hargreaves 30 mill on Berbatov 5 mill on Rafael 16 mill on Valencia 6 mill on Hernandez 12 mill on Smalling 18 mill on De Gea 16 mill on Jones 17 mill on Young  While bidding for players like Hazard but he chose Chelsea because alot of the players wifes and girlfriends prefer living in London    You man were dominante during the SAF last few years with players far worse than what you have now.  SAF needs to save you.  /  Peak for Arsenal post AW   The main point however was we spent money not on the quality of the players however i do agree with u fully. We bid for players like Modric, Hazard, Sneijder etc during those years but their clubs refused to sell or they refused to join   But they all know it is Manchester United, the biggest club in the country and the world under SAF!  Same level as Bayern Munich, Barcelona, etc, with terms of attractiveness!  I fail to see why they would say no to MU for lesser teams when you guys were winning everything.  Look at who's going to flipping Manchester Citeh, can't say it is the pull of London unless HS2 was built already.

Agony Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Woodward vs Fergie/CO92/Charlton  Moyes being picked by Fergie ahead of better managers  Moyes being sacked when Team Fergie would have gave him more time  LVG hired by Ed without Fergie's input  Giggs being forced onto LVG to be his #2 instead of Kluivert  Ed and Fergie don't like each other and he doesn't trust the CO92 and doesn't want to give them more power at the club​  Ed talked LVG out of walking out twice because taking the L would be admitting defeat to Fergie  Certain people don't want Mourinho at the club. Charlton has spoken out against him before and although Fergie and Mourinho have a good relationship it's hard to tell which side he would be on which is probably why Ed isn't in a hurry to give him the job  Heard some talk last week about Fergie offering to help Giggs if he gets the job  This power struggle is f*cking up the club. If Fergie wants to be involved so he should have just stayed and then that c*nt 3HUNNA wouldn't be at the club, smh.  Could be a few panic buys next month to save LVG's job and for Ed to win the war.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haze-e Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Smh. Terrible management from 3Hunna upwards. Could we see Woodward step down if he doesn't win this war? Obviously not for now but Fergie is a stubborn SOB and his power at the club has been clearly shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agony Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Ed is the Glazers boy. Has a closer relationship with them than Gill did. I was thinkng of a scenario where we hire a DOF and Ed goes back to his old job but then I can't see Ed or the Glazers making that call.
