    I don't see Giggsy as a good option at all. By all accounts he is a divisive character - a right little
    sh!tstirrer in other words.

    Either way - you Mancs need to get your facking act together - I can just about handle it when you lot are winning everything because that's the way it's been for the last 20 years but the thought of the media creaming their undies over a resurgent Liverpool is just too much to bear.

    Me too mate, thought it would happen earlier but somehow even my club imaged to lose 180m quid 15 years without anyone seemingly noticing....

    The typical supporter nowadays is only going to ever be happy if there are in the top one, may hang on if top four, if none of those it's bye-bye, something else.

    The proper real core support has been priced out long ago, I don't think I've been to Wanderers since 2007, and prior to that sporadically. Home and away 1973 till 1986. Managed 57 of the old 92!

    If it wasnt for the goalkeeper LVG and the clipboard would have been sacked last season.
    He adds at least 12 points to your season.

    It was real good fun for first couple of seasons, really good atmosphere, football was decent quality for the level(bit boring when we were smashing teams 6-0 week in week out...) but it's changed a lot.

    There are some there using the club to promote their own agendas like LGBT/anti facists/etc..

    As for big Utd, I'd get Pochettino, however he would probably see this as a sideways(if not backwards!) step, or even Pellegrini. God forbid Mourhino, he's just a younger more arrogant LVG for me.

    Absolutely shocking the decline in the standard of fare! I blame Robbie, the bitter utd reject, Savage for thay old pony about Giggsy getting it.

    Who in their right mind would give the job of managing one of the top 5 biggest clubs in the world, to a trainee manager? Effing nuts.

    They really are in a bad place now, cITY are gonna dominate for a while now I reckon. Think we will become the new scousers struggling behind, hoping for fourth for years now.

    On a positive, going to watch FC United play AFC Fylde at our own ground on Saturday.
    Barcelona - Guardiola did okay and unfortunately I think that's the logic that they are using.

    I gave up my season ticket when the Glazers took over; perm at the time and the 24% increase in ticket plus the ACS couldn't be justified. I'd paid £551 in my last full season and my cousin ended up paying about £1100 in 07/08 because of the price rises and ACS!

    It was a dreadful performance from Man U, and 4-0 would have been a fair reflection of the game

    Giggs taking over is just foolish thoughts.

    Only hope is Jose coming in and spending the sort of money LVG has had - that would push you close to top 4 again

    You are entitled to post where you call me a twunt. Just not in the first post.

    I thought I was doing you a favour as the thread was sinking without trace....
