I just can't believe what is happening to the once great Man U. Chasing round trying to buy players other clubs are happy to get rid off and then finding they don't want to come to Man U. Grossly over paying for players who are clearly not suitable for the PL. No planning for the future just react to fan/commentator pressure and make a buy to quell the unrest. There is no leadership at the club.

United haven’t learnt their lesson. Offering to double Casemiro’s wages to something like 280 grand a week which will make him the second highest paid player in their squad after De Gea. Even if that is inaccurate and regardless of what their offering it’s obviously going to be significant to tempt him leave Madrid.
They will be lumbered with an ageing DM on mega wages. They are just going after any big name now to placate their fans.

What’s all the fuss about. United have only been any good under 2 great Scottish managers.
1968 won European Cup with Busby. Next 22 yrs won 3 FA Cups. Until FA Cup with Ferguson in 1990.
Went 26 yrs without winning the League title until Ferguson won it in 1992.
Ferguson left in 2013 . Next 9 seasons they have won.....
1 x FA Cup
1 x League Cup
1 x Europa Lge.
Have not won a trophy for 5 seasons.
Lot better than us but not the top club they are portrayed as.
They have spent 1 billion since Ferguson left and employed the likes of Solksjaer and Rangnick as managers. Long may it last.
Could be a long time to wait for the next great Scottish manager.
If only Mrs Ferguson had been a lover of the bright lights of London when Irving Scholar approached Alex in 1984 after we won the UEFA Cup. Apparently that was one of the main reasons we didn’t get him. If only ??????
After all that, I will be supporting them on Monday v Liverpool. Keep those scousers as far away from us as possible.:

Tim Vickery was on SSN earlier talking about it saying Casemiro doesn’t fit in with ETH’s style at all either.

Yep. Also forgot to add £60 million fee too. That is crazy.

As you suggest, Ratcliffe wouldn't buy a minority stake in the business without a commitment from the Glazers to hand over control in the future, under pre-defined conditions. He's no mug and won't be prepared to put his own money into the club and watch the Glazers squirrel it back to the US.

I don't think the Glazers would let him in, knowing full well that he'd be all over their syphoning activities. The slow demise of Man Utd hasn't affected their dodgy dealings one bit.

Guaranteed to be a hit then!
I always treat his opinions with a pinch of salt ever since he said Paulinho would be the Brazilian Lampard.

Yes, there are a few posts floating around in the stadium thread. Chelsea's big problem is that, being contained within walls and streets, across which are buildings they cannot acquire and demolish, the only direction they can expand is to build over the adjacent cut-and-cover tube line, that runs between between West Brompton and Imperial Wharf stations on the Overground. And they can't go further than that, because directly on the other side of the tunnel is West Brompton Cemetery.
TfL, to put it mildly, are not easy people to deal with when developing near their tracks. Their technical demands, requirements for incessant inspections at the developer's expense and elaborate foundation restrictions make it very difficult and expensive to build anything near a tunnel.
I don't know the details, but the last set of pretty pictures that CFC publicised two or three years ago disappeared pretty quickly after problems arose with the design of the cantilever over the tunnel.
Arsenal and Tottenham were able to carry out many-years-long programmes of land acquisition and land assembly around where they wanted to build, because they were buying largely dilapidated and underused industrial land and, in our case, in a neighbourhood with relatively low property values.
Have a look around Stamford Bridge, in person or using Streetview. It's mainly modern blocks of flats - at Chelsea prices - and a supermarket. It would be prohibitively expensive to buy out all the occupiers and the owners and then demolish. That leaves the Overground tunnel.
