    Carrick in charge for the game against Chelsea.

    I might actually shout for Chelsea.

    Maybe Ronaldo is thinking "What sort of rat am I on this sinking ship that I joined?"
    no he's not.

    he's thinking £500,000 a week after tax plus image rights plus goal bonus plus match bonus plus plus plus.....

    he care not a fig.
    No, I think he does. He is still ambitious, he is still hungry, he loves the limelight and probably hates negative limelight as well as playing for a squad that is playing far, far less than the sum of all their parts.

    Exactly. These Chelsea fans don’t know much about footie do they.
    Ronaldo is a winner, he wants to score and win every game. He is not a Pogba. This manu team is the worst domestic side he’s played for in his career (except perhaps Sporting Lisbon who were decent domestically at least) but he won’t give up.

    I actually like Pogba. Sometimes his passing and movement is sublime. I just think that at no point since moving to Man U has any manager got the best out of him.

    Pogba’s a great player and the perfect example of a modern footballer. Extreme wealth, not too bothered about football if he’s not in the mood.

    is a winner, realises the ego is writing cheques his body can't cash any more, happy to take the cheques the glazers are writing.

    He ain't back at Manure for silverware aspirations and being rejected by every other big club surely pointed something out to him.

    No manager has ever got the best out of him. He was infuriatingly inconsistent at Juve as well. United are better off without him. The constant will he won't he with his agent (who is wrecking his career, by the way) is destabilising and blocking a long term place in the midfield, plus even if he's jolly good fun around the training ground I can't see how his overall attitude will be helping the team wake the hell up in the first 20 mins of games.

    Looks like Manure are going to wait to pick up a big hitter to manage them, so in the meantime hopefully they'll carry on being rudderless. At least for the next week :)

    tbh, until the drunk glaswegian goes away, no one stands a chance of doing anything new - he'll constantly be there, red nose glowing, money grabbing hands scrabbling, carping his opinions.

    A tax on big clubs to fund lower league clubs.

    Interesting idea.

    Make it based on transfers and wages? High spenders obviously have the income.
    Clubs who spend the time and money successfully developing players get a reward.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    If the tax is high enough, it might actually level out other leagues within Europe. I wonder how much resistance there will be from the PL PLC.
    Italian footie has been in the doldrums for quite some time now with their very high taxation on transfers.

    Just an idea off the top of my head. No idea of the proposals, or ideal solution.
    The big getting bigger will be the demise of the league structure as we know it though.
