And the club won't win a thing as long as those rats are in charge.
it's a pity too because the team did everything you could have asked from them and more to make it to 3rd place. They did their job, now it was management's turn to deliver ... and they didn't. I'm far from Solskjaers biggest fan (I'd happily replace him with Poch on the spot if there was a chance), but neither he nor the players deserve to be hung out to dry like that. Solskjaer will inevitably take the fall in a couple of months, but really, the problems lie somewhere else completely.

I think that you're going to get your wish though and Poch will replace Ole this year. I just think that with Spurs though, we might not entirely have the financial muscle that United have (it's arguable though because there is a lot of debt financing taking place there), Levy has been very prudent in this market. We accepted the buyback on Reguilon, and complete the loans for Vinicius and Bale. Hojbjerg was basically a net of $3m with the KWP side of things and our net spend isn't insane this window at all. Obviously, nothing like Chelsea and them spending something like 200m.
And as far as top four goes, like it or not, that is how most clubs see things. The fans and players want to win the whole thing. The clubs care about Champions League and the cash. It's easy to say to three clubs a year that "there's no trophy for top four!", but the clubs themselves push for that.
