@NiohBerg @grok what is this

This is Toronto right now. Holy shit.

Having had 24 hours to stew on the sacking, I think that the most concerning thing for me is how repetitive it feels. I had some faith (perhaps delusional) that a new footballing structure above the manager would ensure that the days of simply sacking a manager with no contingency plan in place were behind us. We've had over 10 years of this nonsense. We have a disgusting record of throwing money at every manager and when they don't work out, we replace them with a new manager who wants to overhaul the squad. This results in players we can't sell, so they either hang around and stink the place out or we loan them out, praying another club is daft enough to buy them ... And this feels like it could be no different. Will we pick a next manager who's style and approach suits the squad we have? Will he build on it? Or will he have a list of 5 targets who will cost £300m and need to be shoehorned in to the team, before he isn't given enough time to build and then he's sacked? Are we going to get 'whoever is available' in and have the same bullshit merry-go-round again? We can argue until the cows come home as to whether sacking Ruben was the right call, but the manner and timing in which they have done it gives me about as much confidence about how this board operates, as I would have if I were to leave a trifle in Luke Shaws fridge and ask him not to eat it. It all just feels miserable and I'm tired of the whole thing.

@Cantona_Collars Me too

Bruno allowed himself to get rattled by the ref brushing past him. He should have just let it go but wanted to give out. I was immediately worried about him taking it.

I don’t think people are deeping how crazy the final week of the transfer window is going to be for us. Højlund will hopefully join Napoli with an obligation to buy well before the deadline. Chelsea are going to keep their bid at £30M for Garnacho until deadline day. Sancho keeps rejecting clubs. Will probably pass the deadline and then have to be transferred to Turkey who have an extended deadline. Antony will only want to join Betis and will probably pass the deadline so will have to be transferred to Saudi who have an extended deadline. Who knows about Malacia. 🤷‍♂️

@Alph__Utd He definitely did

BTW, is it just me, or did Casemiro click better with Fred than with Kobbie Mainoo? There's a clear lack of chemistry between them, and with Fred, Casemiro played more like he did at Madrid.

How Erik ten Hag demolished Manchester united by letting key players leave and signing scraps. A frustrating thread.

Absolute concentration ❤️

@AndreaSJones I think you give wise advice my friend

@KenPerry47 My friend told me yesterday that he was more hopeful this season. I told him it was safer to expect nothing

It’s the hope that kills you!

Some things are bigger than football ❤️
