How many utd fans would take the heady days of the glazers being in charge of the football side of things

What a basket case that club is, it’s getting worse!
Seems like no one sitting in that directors box has any iota of competence and knowledge when it comes to running a football club

Reckon this could be true? Ashworth wanted Southgate/someone else British and when Utd sign Ruben.....?

People can laugh all they like, INEOS might not be the solution but 1) they're not going to turn the club around short term after everything they've inherited and 2) you can only pick from the choices you have and as I've always said, I still prefer this than being owned by middle eastern 'imvestment funds'.
Imagine selling your soul to the devil and still only being 1pt better off than our banter club.
Amazing how short some people's memories are. We have posters in here highlighting the redundancies of non-playing staff, forgetting their clubs were some of the first to announce using the furlough scheme, only to U-turn after backlash.

Or maybe Southgate is smarter than many people give him credit for?

Wonder if he wanted to turn the lights on in his office. Electric is going up soon.

In all seriousness though does make you wonder what is going on.

This isn't the banter thread mate.

Surely that cannot be real.

If it is true, it proves he wasn't the right man for the job. Southgate with one of the greatest talent pools of English players in recent times achieved absolutely nothing with them.
He had easy runs to the semi finals and finals in tournaments, and in some cases scraped through due to lucky individual goals. How would he have fared with ultimately a much weaker squad?

And yet you could still argue that he still managed to get them further than they should have got. As soon as the played someone they should have lost too they did. Probably only the Germany game.

This seems more plausible. Make an error like that you should be sacked.
Stupid to keep EtH after the cup final, ended up costing the club millions and letting them use that excuse to increase ticket prices, disable parking and cutting more jobs.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it.
