It doesn’t matter who is linked with becoming Manchester United manager, because whatever the name (and most of those in circulation have previously already been ruled out), they are set up to fail.

The parasitic Glazer ownership has bled and broken the club, putting a financial noose around it.

In 2024, Sir Jim Ratcliffe talked a big game about a “three-year plan” to rival and outdo Manchester City and Liverpool. But the decision-making under INEOS’ charge of football operations has not just been woeful, but costly too. There is zero accountability for expensive mistake after expensive mistake.

There is still no clear direction on club identity, including style of play, which leads to profiling the right signings and manager. That was a major promise made by Ratcliffe, which hasn’t been kept.

To borrow his own words: “There have been a whole series of coaches, some of which were very good. And none of them were ­successful, or survived for very long.
The only conclusion you can draw is that the ­environment in which they were ­working didn’t work.”

It still doesn’t. It never will as long as the people who own and run the club betray Manchester United and what is required to be successful in the modern era.

You can harp on about structure, vision, and sell fanciful projects, but you will never have the right operation with the wrong people.

People don’t understand how famous Michael Jackson was. Nobody else came close. He was known in every 3rd world country as well as the west. He couldn’t PA at nightclubs or restaurants like other celebs. No sitting court side at NBA games or ring side at boxing events. Why? Because fans would just cause chaos and shut the place down. People don’t understand that level of fame.

The whole world tuned in to watch the thriller premier, before social media and YouTube etc. He could sing, dance, choreograph, hardly did interviews, aura was another level, world leaders would ask to meet him. Roads shut down when he was staying at hotels etc.

Nobody before or since can compare, stop these lame comparisons. People used to faint when they saw him in person. It was insane and unheard of. There will only be one Michael Jackson and never again will we witness such talent and aura. Never.

If I were running transfers at United and sat down with Anderson’s agent I’d simply slide a photo of Kalvin Phillips across the table and say nothing

Dangote just told East African leaders he’ll build a second 650,000 barrel per day refinery in Tanga, Tanzania. Identical to the one in Lagos.

Kenya, Uganda, DRC and South Sudan will supply the crude. A pipeline from Mombasa to Tanga will support it. Presidents Ruto and Museveni were both at the table when he made the commitment. Four to five years to build.

The Iran war exposed how dependent Africa is on Middle East fuel imports. Some East African countries get 75% of their fuel from the Gulf. Dangote’s Lagos refinery is already shipping refined products to Tanzania, Ghana, Cameroon and jet fuel to Europe.

Now he wants to replicate the whole thing in East Africa. From one refinery to a pan-African refining network. This man is not building a company. He’s building infrastructure for an entire continent.

America killed Bin Laden, what did it offer the people of Afghanistan afterward?

America killed Saddam Hussein, what did it offer the people of Iraq afterward?

America killed Yasser Arafat, what did it offer the people of Palestine afterward?

America killed Muammar Gaddafi, what did it offer the people of Libya afterward?

America killed Ali Abdullah Saleh, what did it offer the people of Yemen afterward?

America overthrew Bashar al-Assad, what did it offer the people of Syria afterward?
America arrested Nicolás Maduro, what did it offer the people of Venezuela?
America cannot be trusted; it is merely a colonial power exploiting peoples and resources.

Ange is right, Tottenham aren't a big club. The big six is a myth. It is a big three - Manchester United, Liverpool & Arsenal - huge clubs with global fanbases.

United are a global behemoth, Liverpool are bellends with history, Arsenal have sustained elite status. That is among why they are universally despised by rivals.

Chelsea pre-2003 were mostly also-rans with one title since 1955. Russian billions bought fleeting relevance, soulless mercenaries & now player trafficking.

City pre-2008 Abu Dhabi were nobodies. Their charges shroud their entire existence for fake dominance, amounting to empty seats & cheats.

As for Tottenham (or Newcastle), lol. Perpetual chokers & losers defined. Zero relevance beyond North London derbies, no global pull, just a big stadium.

The facts don't care about your feelings.
