Their fan base is full of useful idiots since many are just glory hunters. Easy for their board to manipulate. The one who see the issue would be overshadowed by those who easy to please. Their board is just there to stay until there is no money to make.
I voted twice, once on my laptop and once on my phoneMaguire is an OK defender at premier league level, he's just not an £80 mil player and probably not at the level Man United want in a captain.
For me this is what football is about, not sluggish players like Maguire chasing their own tails
Who has Premier League's best attack?
As Gareth Bale prepares to make his second Tottenham debut on Sunday, we take a look at who is the Premier League's best front three.www.bbc.co.uk
I wonder if any of the Levy our brigade would swap owners with United?
I know he's heavily linked but it seems like such a risky move for Poch to go there. He absolutely needs to win trophies at his next stop to still be considered a top manager in the game. I think there's so much possibility for turmoil at United it would make me very nervous if I were him.

I don't imagine for one minute that anyone is expecting another Ferguson era but what rankles me as I stated earlier is their sheer arrogance.
I'm not old enough to remember, but it makes me think if they had similar issues after their highs of the late 60s that led to their relegation in 1974.I don't imagine for one minute that anyone is expecting another Ferguson era but what rankles me as I stated earlier is their sheer arrogance.
As Spurs supporters we all hope and dream the club will eventually rise again to be a major footballing force, challenging for the highest titles and trophies available.
Man United fans whenever I meet them seem to have a "Do you fucking realise who we are ?" attitude. It's as if the very name should automatically conjure up success. It's that immodesty that has gradually eroded them as a top club. They have knee jerked with managers, pandered to their so called 'star players' and quite literally thrown millions of pounds at a problem which will never go away unless they start again from the very basics.
It's a long road to recovery that they must take but unless they come to terms with the harsh realities of life and bring in a manager of standing ,who they will firmly back, then they are doomed.
Not that I'm complaining
From what I gathered from Man U supporters relative and friends, they have this mentality about doing thing their way, being different for the sake of it. Cristiano Ronaldo was the first ever Portuguese player they signed. In another word, they prefer British and Irish core, and/or foreign players but from their academy. Really neglecting scouting in South America until recent years. Latin players seem to struggling, not staying long in for their club since the culture at their club doesn't build to accommodate these players, but forcing them to adapt.
