It's about time somebody started this thread!

Fergie will be back in the hot seat by the end of the season to look like the big hero. He goes to every game and still can't stay away.

I did some work once with Wilf McGuiness. He's a good guy, despite it all.

He was the manager who followed Busby and the 'great man' made his life in the new job impossible. It was the period when Charlton was beginning to fade and Best's drinking was getting out of hand. However, when he tried to deal with them they ran off to Busby who would come in and explain to him how he should handle the matters (always with increased tolerance).

He said that on his first official day in the job he went to his (what had been Busby's) office to find the owd bugger sitting in there. He presumed he was simply collecting a few things when he was told that Busby, as now a Director, would continue to use that room. He was walked down the corridor to a smaller room, with his name on the door.

He said he knew then that he either had to overcome Busby or he'd never make the job a success. As we all know he never 'overcome Busby'.

Ferguson is present in Carrington regularly. He's at every match. I see this going the very same way unless Moyses can get the support from the board.

Frankly I think he's toast.

I think Busby took over from him IIRC.

Sorry to be the one to break it to you but yer memories failing you Monty..

The venerable Monty is correct young Genshaw. Busby was reappointed after WMcG left.

He did indeed ... "as he was there" I guess was the excuse at the time.

He did the job from December to May when Frank O'Farrall took over. My goodness they appointed a few ordinary ones for a while.

Bobo seems to have a suspiciously large amount of knowledge about Man United, doesn't he? Personally I'd struggle to name the last manager they had before Moyes.

Ferguson's fault to let this slip away

"Pogba is one of those players who leaves you speechless. After only three or four training sessions we were impressed by his enormous qualities. We looked at each other as if to say 'Are they blind in Manchester?'" - Gianluigi Buffon.

Some really long sulky faces within the office Man United fraternity this morning.

Woman at work this morning, and this is no exaggeration, said

"My Mike (husband) is a massive United fan. Never misses a game"

Me: "Oh right, has he got a season ticket"

Her: "No. we've got one of those satellites that can pick up foreign channels. As I said, he never misses a kick, but even Mike is getting fed up of them now"

:groan:

Can you get a message to Mike from me please, Boris?

Surprised at Chelsea letting them have Mata. t was obvious Jose didn't want him for whatever reason, but could bite him on the ar5e by letting another Prem club sign him up. He'll be a whizz in the Inter Toto

[Bruce Rioja]

I'm thinking - there's an irony in the fact that the only Man U player not to shit himself when it came to last night's penalties was Darren Fletcher.

chelsea have already played manU twice... mourinho reckons Mata will strengthen ManU - but only at the expense of the other top 6 clubs who are not Chelsea - thus benefiting chelsea... plus - chelsea pocket £37mill for a player they don't really want...

Has Mourinho had much of a say? I suspect the £40M has more to do with it than anything else....fleeced!

i think he has said he wants manU to get stronger and beat his rivals...

Can you get the actual quote though?

[thebish]

i suppose i could if i tried - but as i didn't include it, I wrote "I think"... hope that's OK for you!

[boltonboris]

In that case, it carries no credibility!
