My only concern is that Ten Hag has to be one of the easiest managers to replace: instant lift just for not being a ****. Honestly think the Sancho thing early doors lost him half his dressing room. (The other problem being the half he bought in were shite!)
Even going back further than that to the Ronaldo powerplay he did. I don't care whether people don't like Ronaldo, he treated him poorly & he was their best player by a mile.
Sir Alex recommendation!
Yup, forgot that. Golden rule is if you're going to be a **** you better be good at your job. Ten Hag was not.
Oscar also famously said:
When I lived in Lymm, and worked in Wythenshawe, I have to agree: the local Man U fans were quite decent.
I haven't forgiven the c***s for Wembley 1992 - the Andrew Plumb Tickets final.
I was there that day as an 11-year-old. I was 5/6 rows below some of their mob who jumped up when McClair scored but didn’t leave my seat at HT. What went on? I’ve honestly never heard a definitive account.
It wasn’t just Forest supporters that gave Manu fans a serious kicking in the concourse, the police stood by and and actually some of them waded in.
Funny that, I remember thinking something like, “Aren’t the coppers and stewards supposed to come streaming down the aisles to sort this out? Nope. All right. Eyes back on the game, then.” Seems the Met’s finest just fancied a nice day out at the football rather do any actual, y’know, police work.
More coverage than 911, JFK assassination & the moon landings put together
I always say the same about their away fans. Their diehard local fans are pretty sound and the core is a great base. I used to have a couple of mates in Manchester and we’d drink in a pub sometimes in the city centre, it was a United pub, I can’t remember the name but it hadn’t been gentrified (this was 2002 ish). We had a few great nights in there and they were sound.
Roy Keane with Gary Neville as assistant. There you go lads, you got this!
