Football 2013/14 season

mjo - Context: Manchester United have not finished outside the top 3 since 1991.

The fact City, Chelsea, Liverpool etc. have been sacking good managers does not mean United shouldn't sack a clear failure.

So the badly chosen one has had the sack from Manchester United, it was always going to be a big ask to be the next manager who followed in the footsteps of Sir Alex Ferguson. Even though they have had a terrible season, compared to the last 20 years, i would say that it was the failure to qualify for the Champions league that was the final straw.

 

[teabagyokel]

The P6 W0 D0 L6 F1 A14 in the North West mini-league can't have helped...

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Or the signing of Fellaini.

 

[teabagyokel]

... for £4m more than the buy-out clause.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

I think we can agree teabagyokel that there were any number straws that broke the camels back.

 

[teabagyokel]

Even signing fantastic players didn't seem to Mata.

 

[Galahad]

I hope they go for Jose this time.

 

[The Pits]

has AVB found gainful employment yet?

 

[teabagyokel]

The Pits - Yep, he's in Russia.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

I think AVB is at Zenit St Petersburg at the moment, but with his track record it will only be for a short while.

 

[soccerman17]

He is a white man, the Zenit fans shouldn't have too much of a problem with him

 

[teabagyokel]

soccerman17 - Yeah, it'd be nice if UEFA chucked them out in order to show that NO TO RACISM was serious.

In other news, I now have a local team to root for! The Indy Eleven has arrived, playing its first two games both at home in the second-tier North American Soccer League. Promotion and relegation doesn't exist here, so the only real ways to get into MLS at the moment are getting endorsed by Beckham or building a soccer specific stadium, which is already being stated after two games, both 1-1 draws.

Who would you pick?

 

[teabagyokel]

Just to say at this point [bg=#000000]RIP Tito Villanova[/bg]. The former Barcelona coach had been battling cancer for some time and today passed away at the age of 45.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Really shocked to hear that he had passed away.
RIP Tito Villanova

Now only Citizens can lose the title, I vote for them in the poll, but I would see Reds winning this year! We hope in Toffees

 

[mjo]

Well that was an anticlimax. Fulham and Cardiff are down, with Norwich virtually down also. No relegation dogfight on the final day

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Best day of the football season as Cardiff City are relegated from the Premier league.
