It was fun while it lasted. Fingers crossed the Utd board continue their recent run of success in managerial appointments.

I'm flying to Manchester this afternoon. They've asked me to take over for him. Uncle Sir Jim said I will do great!

while he must be admired for his refusal to buckle to CR7's antics, the baffling price tags of Casemiro, Antony, Lisandro Martinez, and Hojlund were the straws that took the camel's back to its breaking point.

in any case, i doubt a new appointee would be able to achieve much more unless deeper systemic issues at OT have been sorted out first.

Rumour is Thomas Frank refused the job because he thinks the club culture needs to change drastically before they can start being top 5 material again
