The sense of entitlement and bitter resentment on this thread is delicious.
The premiership is changing, I see this happening to the 'big' teams more and more.....Every VClub in the premiership can now buy very good players so there will be more and more of the results you didnt quite expect... I dot think its quite as easy as to say they just have not performed.

Club Legend and all round top chap Sir Bobby Charlton is getting the South Stand named after him. This is great news, a proper celebration of a career / almost lifetime related to Manchester United (and I bet he also hates it called Manu..). This is a good thing, about time etc etc.
So is it wrong now that a part of me thinks this is a sweetener because Jose is incoming? I really hope not (it's not a sweetener at least) - but if it is the presentation is happening before the Everton game on 2nd April which is not the last home game of the season. I'm probably in tin foil hat mode but is there a significance of the date I've missed?

Long overdue tribute to a great footballing legend.Club Legend and all round top chap Sir Bobby Charlton is getting the South Stand named after him.

Great news.
The cynical side of me thinks it's to appease him cos Jose is being hired.
Having been slightly stroppypreviously, I'm going to agree with you. Bit of a bugger for you guys in Merseyside blow ever you can now smile that we're getting all the unwanted Press again and Jurgen can do his thing under the radar The cynical side of me thinks it's to appease him cos Jose is being hired.

The Independent suggests that Jose could be installed this month.
Board confidence in LVG radio after Sunderland result.
ESPN saying United risk becoming the next Liverpool or worse Leeds, if they fail to act.

An article on Woodward's tenure thus far. Doesn't make great reading.

Read that Nicky Butt has become head of the United Academy? Good on him and nice to see the class of '92 evolving into coaching.
Yeah it could be a good move for the club, and it's much better from Nicky's point of view to learn his way up through the ranks, so to speak, than to try to jump in at the deep end. It's not exactly going super well for Giggsy and the Neviller having gone straight to being no.2 and no.1 respectively.I did see some wag suggesting that as the South Stand is being renamed after Sir Bobby we should be looking to name the Physio room after Phil Jones, but that seems a little harsh.

Looking very frail apparently and no longer attends every single game regardless .
Sounds like me, like he's been fed on a diet of poor football served up by LVG! In all seriousness though I do hope if he is ill that he get's better soon. Even though you don't see him smiling too much these days, if at all, it's good to have him at the games alongside SAF and the other club legends.

resentment ? I think most on here would be delighted that if its not united winning then it be leicester or spurs as opposed to city or arse.DeltonaS said:

The whole top quarter of the Prem should hang its head in shame this season, though. Leicester winning the league? Utd, Arsenal, City and Chelsea have all grossly underperformed.
Totally agree.Bit of an insult to Leicester don't you think? It's not as if they are undeserving of top spot? United's performances have been poor this season but I think it's wrong to take anything away from the teams that have been playing well.
Maybe it's just a minority view born out of frustration
