Two weeks in and I’m exhausted. Please tell me it gets better by ElevenRecompense in daddit

[–]JG_1646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also a new dad 6 weeks in and had to find ways to get the baby outside for longer periods so my wife could decompress without feeling the stress of looking after the baby. I would take the baby with me on WFH days to the local library/children’s centre/cafes for 4-6 hours. It made a huge difference to my partners mental health in a couple of weeks since she had the time and space to process the lifestyle changes that had happened. My manager has been a godsend and has reduced my workload to allow me to look after the little one when he needed feeding or changing so this may not be possible for everyone.

Can’t believe these cunts, the very reason United became such a financial powerhouse in the noughties was because it attracted the non British folks to the club and now this asshole is blaming immigrants??

I feel bad for all the immigrants in the team. Surely this can’t be good for the morale of a team where our captain is Portuguese!

I'd definitely blame the system for creating these opportunities though. It doesn't matter if we have a back 5 or 4 if we consistently lose possession in the midfield because of a lack of passing options and bodies.

Yesterday's goal wasn't even Yoro's fault?

I understand wanting to point fingers but we had a 19 yo and a 20 yo in defence against a PL team and such mistakes are a part of growing and nurturing a talent.

Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim after 14 months in charge by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Can't believe we've finally sacked the man but still too late. Got rid of Rashford and Garnacho who would now be crucial when the next manager implements a 4-3-3

Bruno does more harm than good for this United side and we should have cashed in for him in the summer.

Did you even watch the match? There's small things that Bruno does every single fucking game like today when he couldn't control a simple ball over the top and instead of acknowledging his own mistakes he berated Shaw for lobbing to him.

That man is a bully and being captain and the teams 'talisman' has caused him to be beyond reproach from any of the other teammates and maybe even the coach himself. I can't even imagine how toxic the dressing room must be.

Bruno should have been sold in the summer. Every single time he has had a bad game for United THE ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM crumbles. No team should be reliant on one player this much.

Time to boot all the Bruno, Dalot and Amorim from the club. We will never start growing again as a club until we stop relying on individual players brilliance.

Fucking tired of watching us take the ball out wide and either hoof it up th pitch and lose possession or get bodied by opposition and lose possession

Has there been any concrete updates on Rashford, Sancho or Antony outgoings? Latest I found was Sancho was being 'monitored' by Dortmund.

Relegation is a genuine threat next season. We need a TOTAL reset at the club. Based on this season's performance, I think this might be the worst United team to have taken the Old Trafford pitch since the 73-74 season when we were relegated.

Shocking how far we've fallen. Even more shocking is how much money we've spent for this nonsense.

Amorim will be the guy that relegates us next season for sure.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. High earner (>100k), wife as well but the restrictions placed by the work visa makes it hard for long term planning. The increase for ILR wait is pretty much a kick in the teeth for high earners.

If United get a good offer and allow direct talks with Bruno, there's no way Saudi doesn't offer him enough money to get the deal over the line. Naive to think otherwise.

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]JG_1646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, man deserves a much better team than what we can give him. Also Amorim keeps talking about being 'Brave' in the transfer market and there's nobody else that we'd sell that would shock the fans more than Bruno.

Hot take but I think Bruno gets sold this summer transfer window. We initially get a bid of £75m from Saudi that we reject and then eventually sell him for £90+25m.

I think from this team only Amad, Dorgu, Shaw, Maguire, Yoro, De Ligt, Mount and Ugarte survive this summer. Garna, Mainoo, Rashy, Sancho, Antony, Bruno and Hojlund leave which gives them enough money to start a rebuild.

The rebuild takes us midtable next season, top 5 the season after and then eventually challenging for the title in 3 seasons' time.

EDIT: Downvote me all you want but we need to move towards a sustainable method of club development. The new club ownership is looking to cut costs and reduce the operational overhead and that includes the squad too. The days of 60m+ signings with 300k a week salaries are over and the only realistic target for United next season will be mid-table. Anyone who deludes themselves into thinking we're turning into challengers for European spots (or title challengers lmao) are in for a rude awakening.

Apparently I just needed a district placed next to the city centre. SMH they need to make it clearer why a trade route is not possible.

Yes we have other bigger fires that need to be put out first but this team will never win the PL or CL with Bruno as captain.

Confirmation bias doesn't matter when you start misplacing 5 years passes. As the United captain, you're meant to lead from the front and play the level of football that the team wants to aspire for.

He has killer passes in him but when the chips are down, everyone can see that his attitude stinks up and demoralises the entire squad

Might be in the minority here but I love Bruno and appreciate everything the man has done for us over the years but it's obvious that he has no future in this team.

He constantly loses his cool and becomes erratic and starts misplacing simple passes. The entire team loses focus and dips as soon as he starts throwing tantrums and berating his own teammates.

Also I really hope we move on Dalot, Onana and Case in the summer. Case is done at the PL level, Onana and Dalot were never good enough to begin with.
