    Those suggesting they ought to let Ole get through the tough run of fixtures first are so small-time Keane said it right, the entire squad is broken, a system manager like Conte would need to be backed by the sort of big decisions that I doubt they're in a position to take yet with the rapist still being a new arrival.

    Those who think Conte wouldn't be a good fit are morons. The club are a joke right now so Conte turning everything upside down but bringing success would at the very least assure the appointment of a world class manager when he leaves and you may well get a trophy out of it.

    Neville's "They've tried that with LvG and Mourinho and it didn't work" stance is ridiculous.

    He's a good pundit, but he's embarrassing himself with his stance on the binman.

    I'm not a Man U expert but from the outside, the decision to sign Ronaldo, more or less on a whim, looks to have been a really poor one which has upset whatever they had going, or had planned, between the young front players.

    They laughed at us for suggesting it a mere 2 months ago :*) Anyways, Rashford and Sancho being retrained to become fullbacks will sort it.

    They need someone to organise a defence, first and foremost. Bruce until the end of the season genuinely wouldn't be the worst idea, and would give them time to sort out a proper appointment for the summer e.g. Poch or whoever might be available.

    I'm sure Kik's and SvN would welcome that. He has managed 1,000 games after all.

    The other problem they have is that unlike say Chelsea, the job is just too big for almost any manager. You go in there as a young upstart and you're dwarfed by all their bullshit iconography, theatre of dreams, Matt Busby, biggest club in the world etc, not to mention the presence of the Glazer money-stripping machine. Solskjaer has only lasted this long because he's just Old Trafford wallpaper with a heartbeat. You have to be a big old fish like van Gaal or Mourinho to stand a chance, and even they couldn't get it done.

    You were the one with the outstanding logic of him not being a bad manager, "because you can't be if you've managed 1,000 games".

    Someone who has managed a team at the top level of the game 1000 times is obviously not a bad manager. You're doing the usual "everything is easy because I understand a little about it" stick again.

    Was Maggie Thatcher a bad Prime Minister? She did it for 11 years, so I'm guessing not.

    Him being a good manager doesn't mean I think he should manage United. You're lost in your own black and white world as usual.

    So he's a good manager, but you don't even want him in on an interim basis until the end of the season? Hmmmm.

    Two flavours of manager:
    - joint-equal best ever
    - joint-equal worst ever.

    You'd think hiring one would be easier. Stupid football clubs.

    I do have to hand it to Bruce in one respect, he has done an amazing job on the PR side of things.

    He's done well a couple of times, but has shafted/left in the lurch numerous clubs he's been at. Despite this he gets constant support from his Man Utd and media cheerleaders for what a "great bloke" he is and he gets away with painting himself as the wronged party at Newcastle, despite making public digs at the former manager and players and trousering £8m on his exit.

    It's quite brilliant really. If Sven fancies a return to management ever I'm sure he'll be asking for tips.

    No, Gary Neville's glued himself to the carpet outside the Old Trafford boardroom.
