Can't be ar5ed reading the whole thread (I know, how rude) but that clip of Maureen is very, very good. It's 15 minutes of reminding everyone how [oops] United are and he's not a miracle worker. As much as he's a pr1ck, he's still won more silverware with United in 1 season than we have in over 10 years. sadly that's the most damning fact of all....what we would do for a season like Jose's last season...be a dream season that for us...

Maureen has spent 300 + million and recouped around £57m, selling Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay for over £20m apiece, leaving his net spend at around £234m. That's not even scratching the surface of wages and add ons to get those players in and keep current players happy.
Weigh that up against Klopp's net spend in that time and what sort of wages and add ons we have given to those players and current players...it's miniscule in comparison!

Yeah but he's won two cups though. £117m a piece they cost. Shocking that you can spend so much and despite their league position, be so shitte.

He's achieved a 6th place in The Premier League and won a League Cup & Europa League and an exhibition match....if that's counted as success for the amount of money spunked then I hope he stays at Man Utd for a long, long time because the money will cripple them!

When you look at the current Best Teams, Barcelona have Messi, Real Madrid have Ronaldo, Man City have De Bruyne, Man Utd have errrrrrr
De Gea...A GOALKEEPER!

Weigh that up against Klopp's net spend in that time and what sort of wages and add ons we have given to those players and current players...it's miniscule in comparison! That's true but the whole premise of what Maureen was saying that to be consistently in the CL, then you have to invest in the squad because what they had/are is not good enough. Yes, there is the here and now but he's on about the bigger picture, and he's right. For example, there's no way Man U would have sold Couthino. They would have bought in to complement his presence, not cashed in. I know he's spent more money but hes also won more trophies. United have a much bigger pool of reserves to dip into to strengthen their squad and they are seeing benefit for it but he has admitted that more needs to be spent because they're still not good enough. We had NO reserve because F$G have never invested in the squad. We'll probably get knocked out of the CL by Cithe so all we will have done is go one further round in the CL than United. We'll still end the season trophyless and top 4 still isn't guaranteed. Compare balance sheets and we are clear winners but that's not what makes me follow football.

The big trouble with Maureen is that he's never really built a team and that's what Utd need. Anyone can spend loads and loads on superstars but if they don't gel as a team then they won't be very successful. We might not have the resources but we have a manager that can build a team as he showed at Dortmund and is (slowly) doing here. Same with Spurs. Don't spend record amounts but get the right players in for the team and look good for it.

Let's be honest here, Maureen has maybe another transfer window or 2 before his expiration date is up, judging by his work history. If Man Utd put up with him any longer, he'll have spent another shitte load of money into the process, but does anybody believe that he is going to topple Guardiola's Citeh in 1 season or even us if Klopp get's his additions in the summer?
Maureen is such an abrasive cvnt, he has isolated himself from the OT dressing room, the OT fans, the media and probably now any ambitious decent players out there. Maureen will only be tempting mercenaries like Sanchez in the last days of his Man Utd tenure.
