Any chance a passing Don/UB could make his thread into a poll with the following options please?

1. I'm a Man Utd fan - He should stay
2. I'm a Man Utd fan - He should go!
3. I'm not a Man Utd fan - He should stay
4. I'm not a Man Utd fan - He should go!

I know we end up with a thread like this before practically every season so I wanted to get mine in before the World Cup kicks off...

Well another season has passed and I doubt many Man Utd fans are happy with the way things have gone. Again poor transfer usage and injuries led to a disappointing and inconsistent season. The stories hitting the headlines weren't the win over Chelsea or Arsenal but the failure to progress in the Champions League, the bust-up with first Keano and then Ruud... Things seem to have gone sourer than ever at the Theatre of Dreams and like many I feel that until Ferguson steps down, (or is pushed) we won't be able to challenge Chelsea in the Premiership or the rest of Europe in the CL.

Already this summer the big three have been getting in early to make crucial buys before the World Cup starts, yet the most exciting piece of news we've managed is Quentin Fortune's possible move.

I'd be really interested to hear what the Man United fans on the forum and also those who support other teams think.

A lot of people seem to be stuck in the past - 'He's done so much for the club' etc. I agree he has been probably the most successful manager in the Premiership, but as SAF himself has said, there is no room for sentimentality in professional football.

I would rather see action taken now than a slow slide towards mediocrity which looks inevitable with SAF at the helm.

Blame Tony Soprano for bringing this all up lol

man utd didnt do too bad last season.. they still came 2nd.. and they really pushed chelsea for a while.... but obviously chelsea has raised the level in which is needed to actually win the premiership.

think he should only stay for one more year whatever the outcome though, a few weeks ago i could imagine man utd doing a better job next season in terms of pushing chelsea...

but then chelsea got sheva and ballack... man utd got no one yet.. so it doesnt look good

im 51% 3) and 49% 4)
 
Thanks to whoever made it a poll and added the last option ;)

Try and give a few reasons why you think what you think - I kind of wanted a discussion rather than just a load of poll answers ;)
 
Non Man United fan...

To be honest, I think he should have gone a few years ago. Last season though, there were times where they looked a real threat so I don't think he should go yet. They are a very solid team and with players like Rooney and Ronaldo maturing, they are going to remain a real threat.

Most of the time last season, especially towards the end of the season, they didn't perform when Van Nistelrooy was in the side. They seemed to play better with Saha in the team. If they can get a forward that improves on Saha, and a central midfielder then they are right back up there for another challenge.

Also, who would replace him? I can't think of anyone available that would improve on the job that he does for Manchester United.

So, I vote he should stay until someone better comes available.
 
I already gave my views in the same thread as Tony Soprano.

He has mis-managed the players he has, he's been shockingly bad in the transfer market and doesn't look like improving any time soon, and he's had years to replace the 'kids' that he swept the board with and has failed miserably.

Not sure who they'd bring in, definitely would need to be a foreigner, and Queeroz has already shown he's not up to the task IMO.

I'm quite happy for Fergie and his family to stay at OT lining their pockets for as long as possible tbh ,as long as its to the detriment of the club :)
 
yeh, he is riding on the success of the kids from 94onwards...

them kids are now nearly retiring...

their hayday was 1999.... 7years ago...

i can see that is a good point for the boot i guess
 
Whiskey Nose was past it 3 years ago already. Just look at the signings in the last 3/4 years, how many good players did he buy for less than £10M? not many. Kleberson, Djemba Djemba, Bellion and Miller where just idiotic buys, he was so persistent with trying out Barthez in the end when he realised he was rubbish like the rest of the world he was willing to pay the rest of his contract just so he can **** off, Tim Howard was never good enough, Laurent Blanc was way past it, Van der Saar was 35/36 when bought and it took him 4 years to find a decent goalkeeper, Evra is rubbish (why was he signed anyway when Silvestre and Heinze can play in that position), Roy Keane should have been replaced a long time ago, and he so persistant playing darren fletcher (who should really be a postman) you would think that he knows a dark secret about him.
 
give evra a chance. hes hardly even played since coming over and you're slating him already, nice one. silvestre is a liability and heinze has been injured all season, so he bought evra as cover. i do agree that the money has been wasted consdering hes played silvestre there instead..

I think he's had his time and should pass the torch along! Going on holiday at such an important time as well cant be good for morale. Top quality players are needed which they dont seem to be getting.

there's a reason why he's hardly played, because he has been crap every single time.
