Read this article, and tell me how much you agree with it.
It was John Cleese, in Clockwise, who said: "I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand." Manchester United fans would beg to differ. Usually, the best thing about pre-season is the hope: reality's incisors have yet to pierce the gums of optimism, and fans can live off the balmy, often barmy belief that this is their year. For supporters of most of the other 91 English clubs, that's the mood right now. For United fans? Forget it. After three seasons of papering over the cracks, it seems most United fans are awaiting the moment that the fault lines tracing a veiny path across Old Trafford are exposed.
Almost everything about the club reeks of disarray. Owned by the Glazers, who push buttons from a remote hideaway like Dr Evil; run by a manager who shreds his legacy at every turn; almost exclusively represented by the inadequate (Darren Fletcher) and the odious (Rio Ferdinand); unable to close a deal for West Brom's reserve keeper, never mind the new Roy Keane. The signing of Michael Carrick, a Pirlo when a Gattuso was needed, is a band aid for a bullet wound, and a ludicrously expensive one at that.
If anything, it's a surprise that United have bought anyone at all. This summer, they have been like a pathetic drunk lumbering across a dancefloor at 1.45am, trying to get off with everything that moves. No matter how many people they move in for - and if reports are to be believed, United have made offers for dozens of players - nobody wants to go near them. And the one person who surely would, Damien Duff, was allowed to slip into the arms of Newcastle for less than United paid for Patrice Evra. You couldn't make it up. You don't have to.
Perhaps, but then again they could have naturally just gotten better as they gained more experience. Anyway, I'm not saying he's a bad coach, but I think it would take a real turd to not be able to win with a team like Barcelona. I guess any new coach for United at this point is better than SAF.

Fergie will have another season... One for the road.
I fancy Mo wants to win everything with Madrid next season and perhaps come to OT.
Guardiola will probably be found out in the EPL.
lol 2006 article...
Isn't it a bit too early to start with the obituaries, chaps? Or are you just secretly hoping to still nick it? Methinks 'tis the latter y'all hoping for
Anyway, it's good to see the championship going down to the wire (sort of). When you think about it united still have the advantage, city have not won the league in a long and the nervousness is more likely to get to Mancini than Sir Alex.

Meh. Glazers just have to be willing to open their wallets, plain and simple. Nobody is going to sell a player to United for 20m when City will gladly pay 25m and upwards for that player.
We do need to strengthen the squad and I hope the Glazers aren't chicken **** about it (which they probably will be) David Gill has said there's going to be lots happening at OT this off season so let's just wait and see what happens.
