I Hope he is sold in the summer. If not, we buy a new striber, so we dont have to trust that Nunez get us the goals we need.

Interesting stuff. I'd never heard anyone talking about postal voting fraud being a concern before in the UK but it clearly became big news in the US in 2020, and a few weeks back I caught some right-winger complaining about them. Don't think they were specific on air, but in "certain migrant communities", people were supposedly not only voting in their own name but also the names of their cousins, parents and grandparents, who were "still on the register but might spend most of their time back home".

I wonder who she meant.

I want Arsenal to beat Spurs at the weekend. That result is far more useful for us.

I’m not worried about Spurs winning their last 6 or whatever it is they need. I’d say Villa are more likely to win out (our game with them could be important) but I wouldn’t stress about Spurs at this point. Not that their results against Arsenal and City are too much of our business now.

Rafa as interim, and let’s take our time to make a top class younger appointment for the long term.

"Take our time" to make a top class younger appointment.

That does not sound like a job for an "interim" manager.

What a manager, what a team but at the end of it all, will there be a sense of so close yet so far?

We deserved 1 more league title and 1 more European Cup, I feel the 21/22 season made Jurgen think….that was a painful season the way it ended.

For example United fans may play down Klopp and his time with us and the fact he only won 2 top tier trophies, but I look at the journey, looking forward to games at the end of the season, the joy of being involved in title races, cup semis, finals….its been an absolute pleasure, delight….and we had it consistently from 2017 to 2024.

Hopefully things are starting to calm down in here now?  Having thought (a lot) and read a bit more I think (since Klopp is such a force of nature to replace) the move for Slot, trying to have some sort of football style continuity, is a smart move. It is also, clearly a bit of a punt, but an educated punt. I do think it’s was a bit of a toss up between Amorim and Slot, but in the end the continuity of style, plus it looks like Slot has a very strong character, makes a lot of sense. We can’t have another Klopp.
That strength of character will be tested a lot at the start. From players, fans and media rats who just can’t wait to see us falter. So I think it’s our job to eliminate one of those pressures off Arne.
I think acceptance of all this is needed to move on. Now we need to help the new man find his feet and make his own way. We shouldn’t pick holes in the guy ourselves before a ball is kicked. Give him a good chance and some unconditional support.
Football style and charisma is his building blocks. We can help give him confidence and ease his introduction by knd of getting over it and helping him get on board.
Anyone who followed Klopp was going to have a hill to climb. We shouldn’t drag him back.

Does he deserve one?

Nah I guess it is better to let a home grown world class player in his early 20s go on a free.
