  1. Nothing to do with pontification. Phillips is Leeds born and bred and wouldn't make his life a misery by coming to us. What would you be satisfied with as evidence of a plan? If we buy players early everyone says we overpaid and there's no plan, if we negotiate and shop around everyone says we've left it too late and there isn't a plan. The truth is probably that ETH wants to have more of a look at what he's got and what he thinks he might be able to do with them, before he splashes the cash. Look forward to your response, although you are probably on the wind up so there's not really any point having a proper discussion.
  2. We as in Americans? In my experience, Americans seem very keen to chuck medication down their throat. Although I'm not saying it's exclusively an American problem, of course.
  3. Yes we'd love a 10 year strategy that doesn't change but when it doesn't go according to plan a new manager comes in, they are all invited to stamp their blueprint on the club and the strategy changes. It's also worth remembering that very few United or non United fans were questioning world class signings such as Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo at the time. With regards to this transfer window. We are competing with the likes of Newcastle for players and have no godgiven right to sign anyone given we don't have champions league football. I wouldn't read too much into Erikson as he would be a squad player anyway. It's time to stop the negativity bred by thinking as a club we 'should' be doing this or that. There are a lot of very good teams and rich clubs around and we'll just have to carry on trying approaches until one works.
  4. You'd think he might have something in the pipeline. Or maybe he just fancied staying on the beach. Don't blame him.
  5. Thanks. Fun fact, RR was living opposite my parents in Manchester. My Mum went to invite him for a cup of tea but he has 24 hour security outside and they wouldn't let her through.
  6. I reckon you've been watching football long enough to know that success comes in cycles.... There are a) a few very good teams in the Prem and b) a few clubs with just as much money as us to spend as us, if not more. We'll just have to try different managers, strategies, formulas until something works. That's just how it is. We have no godgiven right to success. Beating ourselves up about every disappointment since Fergie isn't going to get us anywhere. Just need to keep going.
  7. Whenever you have a minute, I'd love to know what Ralf Rangnick attending a golf tournament has to do with anything.
  8. Erikson is probably on holiday. Like any of us considering whether to move employers, why shouldn't he take his time rather than being given a fictitious deadline by the social media hordes. The truth is he may not come, and I don't blame him. Once you get over the giggle of him choosing between United and Brentford, it might occur to you that he is only coming to replace Juan Mata and we already have Bruno in that part of the pitch.
  9. Were <deleted> (for now) and we know we are. You are just vexxed because you came away with 2 minor trophies this year after getting all worked up Out of interest why aren't you rating ETH?
  10. Is anyone using this subscription currently? Is it working well? And does it have all the sports channels including Sky Sports etc Any other IPTV recommendations? Cheers
