It's funny isn't it how the PH United fanbase is trying to keep up appearances.
Meanwhil Redcafe is exploding with frustation by the way the club's been run since the Glazer era.
I mentioned this even years ago.
- No football knowledge whatsoever in management at United (no director of football, no link between the youth academy and the first team, what's the actual philosophy of the club ? how does United want to play ?)
- To add to that; erratic appointment of coaches/managers: LvG is a totally diff. coach as Mourinho (playing style, youth development etc.) Not to mention Moyes and Ole.
- A top heavy management board, mainly consisting Americans/Glazers, who do not seem to understand football but do interfere
- Former WC United players are somehow kept at a distance, while some of them could be usefull in management/marketing/youth academy/coaching staff, either short term if not developing into long term assets;
- Overpaying for fairly mediocre to at best decent players (Maguire, Lukaku, Lindelof, Rojo, etc.etc.) and waisting good to WC players (DiMaria, Sanchez, maybe even Pogba).
United isn't run like a billion dollar prof. football organisition but a weird combo. of old English style management and an American sport franchise.
Fundamentally it all went sour the one or two years before Ferguson left. United was Ferguson and Fergison was United. Except Ferguson didn't invest anymore and somehow picked Moyes as his succesor.
There's a chance United this year will compete with the likes of Everton and Leicester for place 5 to 7. $ity and Liverpool are certainly out of reach, Arsenal and Tottenham most probably. Chelski maybe.
Ole, more than a decent chap, but certainly doesn't seem to have what it takes at this moment to carry United.
Interesting season ahead.

No offense but no one is interested in your opinion, bizarre as you are. No one cares.

Can't wait to rip into this Norwich team.
They are awful.
Been to pub, not seen anything of it. Norwich have spent zero and have to be relegation faves They are awful.
Relegation 'faves'? After ONE match? Okay ...

Just don't see it. Liverpool will falter this season. It's all to play for behind City.
I partially agree, they've slipped up not strengthening but they are still ahead of the rest. Just seen end of spurs game, they were not all that but it's early days. All we can do is hope that a team and spirit is emerging now 200Plus Club said:
