Fergie stepping down at ManU at season's end

 

As for position races, both Manchester teams have clinched Group spots in next year's Champs league. Chelsea can all but clinch a group spot with a win over Spurs today. A Spurs win would put them in 4th over Arsenal by 1.

 

Relegationwise: QPR and Reading are already heading down. Wigan gacked a chance to get in the 38 pt clusterfug. Norwich and Newcastle would be in trouble if Wigan gets even with them on points.

 

Promotion: Cardiff and Hull are coming up, and the playoff for the last spot is starting with semis of Leicester-Watford and Crystal Palace-Brighton.

You know Jose Mourinho wants the job, but I have a feeling United will go for a lower profile guy like David Moyes

 

I would only want Mourinho if he were to sign a 10 year contract with very strict verbage as to whether or not he can leave if he wants to.  I like him a lot, and he has a lot of respect for United, but I don't want him here for 3 years and then us have to scramble to find a manager then.

If Moyes wants to go to ManU he'll be free to since him and Everton are parting ways after the season

 

...and he will, signing a 6-year deal

 

Lack of trophies bothers me, but he is also forced to sell his best players on a regular basis.  Hoping he can lure Fellaini to come to United.  Glad we got him instead of Mourinho.

    • 99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.  
    • Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.
    • They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
