'You keep losing and then saying 'give me more time'.' Kemi Badenoch denies being the 'Ruben Amorim of politics'.

@abiyetk @MeridSisay @yefelekebay No. Rather, your understanding/perception of Utd/elite football is a lot closer to current day big big sides( pep, klop or arteta, Inzhaghi). Due to the tough times they’ve been through most of your team fans Wd find it hard to believe your words. That’s what I meant by.

@Yohannessophi @MeridSisay @yefelekebay Hahahaha. So you think it is the fact of me arguing for it that makes people hate the idea? I wish I had this ability of negative persuasion. Then I would openly advocate for propositions that I opposed :-)

@MeridSisay @yefelekebay Sir Alex retained Robbo in his waning years while easing him out of the starting 11. But because no one was offering an absurd sum for him, he could justify it with “sentimental surplus” but that isn’t what is happening here.

@MeridSisay @yefelekebay What would the goal of retaining be? United won’t compete for big titles for a few years. The club needs to enter a rebuilding period based on a clear goal of returning to elite status in a reasonable timeframe. From strategic point of view, retaining Bruno doesn’t make sense.

@MeridSisay @yefelekebay The question is rather: what is the value of Bruno for Man Utd? The probability of Utd finishing below the average Bruno dominant seasons is vanishingly small. So for all the raw g/a, his value over replacement is very low. So take it without any hesitation.

@fisseha_tegegn I attended one of his talks at Oxford and it was about his favourite PM David Lloyd George. George wasn’t a dickhead but he had this same tendency of invoking his humble Welsh roots when he was cornered :-)

@Fisseha_Tegegn LVG did the watered down version of that with Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Tyler Blackett at my club. He can turn water into wine with average u-21 players.

@EthiopiK The kids are good now. I have watched football long enough to know predicting the future of great prospects is a risky business. Just enjoying the moment!

@abiyetk Like Kleberson could ask Socrates,Zico, Rai… Or Henderson asking Gerrard & Fowler? ግፍ ሚዛን ነው። I’m talking prodigious consistency. Don’t overhype it. Garnachoም ቢሆን የArg ነው። Wish him to flourish in the Copa

@fitse_t We had been here with Man Utd’s lost generation of Pogba, Martial, and Rashford. They need to get the right coach for these new prospects to thrive. Ignore the fan hysteria and narratives, ignore chasing the Fergie type, make the most rational decision given the context.

Ten hag has slowly become the anti-optimiser - the guy who has competently finished the assignment to create a system that gets the worst out of every single United player.
