A little over a month ago, Ruben Amorim left Sporting Club in Portugal to join the largest club in the world.
Little did he know that over the last 10 years, we lost that “big club” status with smaller teams around us such as Newcastle, Nottingham and even Liverpool making the right moves and surpassing this legendary club.
But the problem was never the manager, it was always these bunch of sorry excuses for football players.
We have to be harsh in order to possibly reach being kind, because for far too long, players have been earning 300 000 pounds per week and and repaying the club with their two goals per season.
Manchester United always needed an entire new set-up, players, manager, stadium, backroom staff and even a new training pitch.
It is believed that Manchester United have not changed a thing at training since Wes Brown last played at Old Trafford – now known as the Theatre of Nightmares.
Wes Brown has since been through a divorce, lost his home, went broke and got help from a former colleague and still, after being through all that, with a sprinkle of depression added to the top, he returns to Manchester United to see the same thing.
Why is this significant? Why is change needed at a big club like Manchester United?
That is because all eyes have always been on this glorious club, a club which once won the Premier league three times in a row, won the first treble and became England’s most successful team, through one man: the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson, who had placed United safely on that perch.
This was only for the managers that followed to mess things up, because nobody had the United blood racing through their veins.
The closest we came was in the form of one baby-faced assassin, who managed to make the players understand what is was like to play for such a great club. But in no time, he was on the ropes facing the unemployment line – a mistake I wish we had not made.
If you remember correctly, another very good manager followed and he entered the picture as an interim solution.
Many might not believe this, but Ralph Ragnick was really the first manager to lay all our problems on the table, but due to poor backing, he accepted some lame post as manager of the Austrian national soccer team; not the most exciting of jobs, but a great way to get out of a club that is clueless.
Nevertheless, we have work to do and holding thumbs the board gives Ruben a little war chest to use in the January transfer window. It’s clear the players we do have are not suiting the system Ruben wants to play, so go and get him the players he needs.
In other news, I would just like to reach out to our Liverfool supporters who are smiling ear to ear and have the nerve to ask us how we still support a club like that.
Let me remind you fools, when Manchester United were rocking the Premier League and you couldn’t reach our ankles, Liverfool was nowhere to be seen and we could have asked you guys the same thing.
Still, for many of you 21st century Liverfool supporters, you have still only seen your team lift the Premier League on one occasion and you need the elders and senior citizens in our community to tell you more about the rest.
Enjoy your time at the top, don’t think we didn’t notice that everybody else in the league currently sucks and you are competing against the likes of the mighty Nottingham and Bournemouth footballs clubs for the league this year.
Wow! That sounds like a real battle hey, but then again, you guys are Liverfool supporters and you fools have always settled for whatever you can get your hands on.
It’s how small clubs act.
