He's probably getting used to and expecting it more now.

I imagine he’s expecting it but Keane strikes me as someone who will never get used to it

I don't know why they bothered. I mean I don't really give a shit but surely ole would have set them up better to at least try to take something off the murderers last night.
Under any other circumstances last night would have been hilarious, bit I couldn't even enjoy that spanking they got.
Fucking laughing stock.

I have to say that Ralf Rangnick is comedy gold.
Seen what he said at the post-match conference. The fucker doesn't have a clue, does he?

Everyone's else fault, not his at all. You've been there half a year you mong, they are playing the worst football they ever did ffs :lol:

You know what. Players love Fans like you PP. No disrespect mate. How many managers do they get to throw under a bus. The Dutch lad is the wrong man as they are fucked from top to bottom. It’s great don’t get me wrong here but they are frauds. The scousers even when crap gave them a game.0-9 no shots in 2 games. My bros could happily run on the pitch with thousands and fill them in, he has never hated a bunch of players before this last 3 seasons, his words. Rangnic must be shell shocked at the piss taking. The fave see it Keane Scholes have called it for years.

Agreed. It’s worse than under Ole, at least they had a bit of fight with him. It’s great to see though.

But I've never said the players are not culpable here, It's just funny how Rangnick is playing the victim card when he is training with them and somehow managed to make them the worst I've seen since Taggart left.

And If you ask me, the recruitment it's responsible. They brought players to stop us from getting them, not because they needed them.

They need to step back and come up with a plan and a vision / philosophy. Trouble is, the yanks have continually milked them and so now they also have to spunk money on an ageing stadium. Ive hear they now have permission to go up around the railway line but then they will need to patch up the rest of the stadium
They've bought largely in a scattergun approach with no idea of how they want to play merely assuming that they would find a way problem again now is a sustained finish oit of chumps league will impact signings and revenue streams. Long may it continue. The dutch fella must be a loon

The rags, which includes Neville, who think that they have hit rock bottom are going to have a very rude awakening. They have further yet they can fall. I can’t ever see they would be relegated again but they could easily drop a further 4/5 places to be proper mid table where the best they can hope for is a cup run to the semis or to occasionally beat us or the dippers.

This is a very real possibility and no proper European football for a couple of years just exacerbates the problem. They are already massively in debt and have the huge problem of what to do with the swamp looming very large in the rear view mirror.

It really isn’t a simple issue of building another tier over the railway line behind the main stand. The whole stadium needs rebuilding primarily because the seats are too cramped. The treads at the swamp are all based on 1960s numbers, I believe at 660mm, whereas most modern stadiums run at least at 720/740mm to give more comfort. That is not a straightforward job and it may even be cheaper/easier to knock the thing down and start again. And what would that cost? At least £1-1.5B and there’s no way the Glazers are gonna stump up that so that means increasing the debt load. And if they aren’t producing on the pitch, then banks aren’t gonna lend to build it as there won’t be a viable return on investment.

The rags who have they eyes open and aren’t blinded by red tinted specs realise this and they know. They know their cycle of success has well and truly come to an end and they are now unthinkably not even going to be top four and not just for isolated seasons. For a good while, possibly a decade. Us, dippers, Chelsea, Arsenal,Spurs are all better placed and run to continue to be better than then and the emergence of Newcastle is only going to increase pressure.

Mind the gap

Moments FC. As a blue in a rag family it’s lovely. They have talent is what I hear but no desire to match, Watch the fan anger V Chelsea is what I’m hearing. Rangnick Pep Klopp.if players refuse to carry out a basic plan under any style your done. Basic skills are showing up Rashford as an example of a player devoid of one attribute he can fall back on 1.5 mill a month my brother tells me for no return whatsoever. Insta leg end and happy as a pig in shit

It's all beyond my wildest dreams.
When Taggart retired I was looking forward to a season or two of them being a bit ordinary. I then expected them to be back with a rebuilt side and competing with the best.
All this time I've been expecting them to turn a corner, which in fairness they've done several times, always down a cul de sac.
Every time I think they can't get any worse, they manage it.
Nine years on, and I'm still pissing myself laughing at them.

It’s all going pear shaped :

Senior Manchester United scouts leaving after combined 24 years’ service
Chief scout Jim Lawlor going in summer after 16 years
Global head of scouting Marcel Bout has left, club say

Big teams don't fail without reason.
City were one of the most successful, if not the most successful teams of the 70s......In the 80s, City imploded. It wasn't the the manager, the coaches nor the players fault at the root of the failures, it was the club, the rot started at the top and slowly seeped down to engulf the whole club.

The rags were/are rotten at the core. lack of infrastructure investment, the belief that anyone with a foot would want to play for them caused their scouting and youth system to slowly wither. Taggart papered over cracks but the cracks kept getting bigger.

The rags don't need players, they need demolishing at the top and then rebuilding

And Notts Mate, why can't you see them going down? When Busby left, the same thing happened. Champions of Europe in 1968.....relegated a few years later.
They had it all but they neglected it, as did City in the 1980s.

The money in football is too great now. Football has changed immeasurably since even 2000, let alone the 1970/80s. The gulf between where the rags currently are and to relegation is massive and IMO is too big a gulf for them to go down

Would obviously Lord it if they did go down but I just can’t in my wildest dreams see it

Whatever the price tag, you are right Peter.
But as we are merely customers of this industry and the company we support has spread its commercial wings globally, we don't have to worry about that.
Just have to be aware that it exists.

When the rags went down in the 70s. the quote on the BBC was that it was a tragedy for football.
My view was that it was fukkin hilarious.
