Looks like Mansour has finally achieved what he wanted. We're now consigned to history.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Looking forward to Louis going up against him next year. Hopefully we can lead the charge for 4th.
It was obviously going to happen, it was just a matter of when. But seeing two of the best managers around at both Liverpool and City puts enormous pressure on United to make a decision on Van Gaal and appoint the right successor.
I'm not fan of Mourinho, but he's there, he's currently unemployed and he reportedly wants the job. He needs to be appointed before the end of the season.

Do you have anything relevant to the thread to say?
Bollocks. How big would the chance be that we can get Pellegrini?
well said...Well done to City...as for the incompetent feckwits who run United
I think getting Pellegrini would not be a bad idea at all at this point.
That penny pincher Woodward should go and take the dutch clown with him.

Looking forward to this. Gonna be a great season next year.
I like how decisive City have been with this, while we still feck around keeping Louis fecking Van Gaal.
He was never going to come here. We are far beyond his comfort zone.
feck
This is not going to enjoyable at all. They've got the better team, as much money as us, and now twice the manager we have. I just hope he doesn't deliver the CL there, but I see 2 or 3 league titles.
Don't worry lads. We have Giggsy.
I'm at a loss as to what positive thing there is about this club atm, fergie and gill leaving has completely destroyed us.
City fans must be delighted.
*drones on forever* See? City's unearned wealth has the potential to totally alter the future history of the top-level English game. Without that money (for Pep's salary, for massive transfer-spending etc), Guardiola - commonly regarded as the world's best manager - wouldn't be going there. Utterly unfair to us and other clubs.
Not really but I don't want to derail the thread with off topic given the amount of DoF / what's wrong with the board / club threads.They're the same bloody thingjust slightly different in that head coaches usually coach as well as manage, like Mourinho or Pep. Fergie was always down as a manager because you wouldn't see him running around taking a training session.
Came on here to see the meltdown
The news has ruined my lunch
Feck it - can't wait for him to fail

We were like a fine tuned athlete at the height of his career, and he has let himself go so badly its tragic, we are the obese stage. This club has been like the classic case of captain smith in charge of the titanic, no matter how many ice warnings with the icefield coming our direction, this club has smug has they are and still are kept thinking this ship will never sink, and we very much have hit that iceberg taking on water, it is a farce how badly these clowns are running this club. Did this club even try to contact pep about managing united, no we let him go to a small club with allot of money. We are basically relying on a manager failed at every level at this club coming into his 70's, and where is the plan in place to find someone else?
They're going to love this thread on Bluemoon
if we feck up trying to get Jose, the club wants stripping from the top!
We will become the Liverpool of the 90s if we fail to get him
I don't think it's gonna to be a smooth ride for pep in the premier league, this will be his biggest challenge in management yet imo.
But you have to wonder about our club though, for the second time in few years we're watching all the world class managers join other clubs without having a proper plan for the future, unless that plan is giggs, which would confirm my suspicion that the club is run by morons.

Well there goes the only decent (if unlikely) excuse for our total inertia over the past 2 months.
Well, I never had any doubts about that one.
Bring in Jose. He will burn every second to beat his old rival Pep... and win us at least the second place in the league.

Yep. And now that Pep will be at City he'd be even more motivated.
This was coming from the day we hired Moyes. The biggest cnut in this scenario (from our POV's) was the hope we may have corrected our obvious mistake in time.
We didn't then. We haven't now. We won't have done in 5 years time either.
You know those 2 and a half years we've spent readjusting since fergie left? Say hello to 5 more years of it.

From Mark Hughes to Pep in 6 years.
The oil barons really have put their money where their mouth is.

Make no mistake, it's absolutely crucial that we get this summer right in terms of manager and recruitment of players. If we balls this up, we'll find ourselves in City's shadow for the foreseeable future and on the same path Liverpool took after their years of success.
i don't think they can dominate. Chelsea will spend and come back big time, as we will too. Plus then there's Arsenal / Spurs / Liverpool all to throw into the equation. Our league is simply too strong these days for one team to dominate like we did in the 90s / 00s
José, Pellegrini, Pochettino.
Anyone but Giggs.
Anyone.

Anyone.
If I'm hysterical then you're fecking deluded.
It's not worth crying about things that haven't happened yet. Pep could easily flop.
Thiago has renewed his contract and after Pep told that he leaves Bayern extra confirmed that he will no way follow him.
Drifter'll be dancing in the streets of wherever he lives tonight.
Agreed. Horrible feeling, it's an absolute farce. You'd think we'd have learned from Liverpool.
