Fabricatio Romano claims "only a crazy proposal" could change Newcastle stance on Hall.
The flog must have been up all night thinking that one up!

You have to admire him. Anybody making the money he is from doing what he does is no dope. There will always be a conveyor belt of gullible children who will tune in and hang on his every word. They simply want to believe, and he preys on that.

Didn't he accidentally post a video he prerecorded about Ole getting sacked, even though Ole lasted another couple of months?
He doesn't really break many stories. You can pay for him to post about your player.
But, look, that's the football machine now. The drama surrounding your club is almost as important to how your team performs on the pitch.
People need that new signing dopamine, and if the club doesn't spend a shed load of money, the player isn't good enough. You see it on here this summer. The club are trying to conduct smart business, but because we lost out on a Forest player and a West Ham player, it's the end of the world.

Then the club will have known unofficially weeks ago.
The options are clear:
- play Maz as left back backup.
- keep Dorgu as left back backup.
- buy one of Lewis-Shelley or Salinas.

Looking for comment on those in the know. Of which I am not!
Do City know something about the outcome of their sins that the rest of the world does not or is Anderson on some ridiculous compensation package if they get pinged?
Why else would you sign for them knowing the cloud over their head?
Baffled of Oz!
1.) 27 Jun 2026 09:34:37
It's certainly a strange one. It also doesn't look good for us, seeing Ugarte get what looked like a serious injury. That could scupper our chances of selling him. I've got a bad feeling that all of our targets end up elsewhere, and we are left with Ederson only for the CM reinforcements.
2.) 27 Jun 2026 09:37:57
Possibly, but he's a young lad and sees City as the most successful team in the country, so any issue will likely be a 1 year issue (I can't see relegation being an issue).
It continues to be a disgrace how long this is taking, as was Chelsea's light punishment. The EPL has no balls whatsoever.
3.) 27 Jun 2026 10:04:38
I find City after Pep an interesting proposition. Like, what are they? What do they stand for?
Pep was a huge draw, but what is the draw now? For my generation, City were an underdog yo-yo team. Then came the money and the council stadium.
In my eyes, they'll always be that yo-yo club - Shaun Goater and Paul Dickov, but for anyone born 2000 on, it will be a different view.
I see them as Chelsea, a plastic club built on money, cheating and soft geopolitical power.
I think they'll become a top 6 club, with a title challenge here and there. As each day passes, their punishment for +115 looks unlikely to be too severe.
But I live in hope they get a 60 point deduction, suffer a tough EPL season and get relegated, have their titles removed, and come back up as the plastic club we know they are, so their fans can live with it.
4.) 27 Jun 2026 12:43:42
I don't see City being reduced much by Pep's departure, if at all. They have very good players and still have a mechanism for identifying talent, while clearly being able to afford to maintain that advantage by buying more.
It is quite astonishing and pathetic that there has been no verdict yet. My guess is that the case has not been substantially proved and there's going to be an embarrassing climbdown.
5.) 27 Jun 2026 14:43:04
I think you're wrong, nnoi. Pep moved on because he was exhausted mentally with the constant pressure of refreshing a side to win and had gone 2 years without a trophy after delivering the treble.
Remember where they were before Pep. They will fall further after he has gone. Add to that tighter restrictions on sponsorship that they cannot manipulate, along with punishments they are surely going to face, and they're a spent force.
Small stadium, plastic fans who won't stay loyal once the glory goes, and they're going to be back being a Liverpool or Chelsea, regressing and fighting to stand still.
6.) 27 Jun 2026 16:09:39
The chance to really punish them has surely passed!
It's taken so long and they've won a few trophies since then. It's a bit of a joke.
Whatever happens now is irrelevant to those years and honours!
They might suffer a few years of less successful football without Pep, and could possibly end up like Chelsea.
But financial punishment will mean nothing to them, and a transfer ban for however long won't affect them.
They have a group of clubs around the world to gather players until such a time as it would end!
United need to just concentrate on returning to not just the best in Manchester, but the league, Europe.
I don't care what City get. Won't affect us in any way.
I hope we return and reach the heights and whatever any other club does is irrelevant!

I was very much on the fence where Amorim was concerned. If I was pushed I would have said give him a little more time to show his ideas had some merit.
However it cannot be denied that he was killing Bruno positionally and that was clear to even the most ardent Ruben supporter. Mainoo was on the fringes and almost certainly gone. The mood around the club was one like I have rarely seen in nearly 60 years as a supporter. Possibly only matched to the relegation year.
Switch to the current day. Sure the result could have gone against us but the atmosphere is palpable and the exact opposite to the Amorim period, particularly the last few months. Bruno is back to his old self on the park, albeit still a whinger! Mainoo is all smiles and the team having fun it seems.
Early days I know. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and yes it’s a long term project as we are weekly reminded by the usual suspects.
But the question is…. Was Amorim actually hurting the club with his stubbornness as opposed to taking it in the right direction? In my opinion and in hindsight, yes.
Was he the right man longer term?
Personally I now don’t think he was and getting rid when they did was in the clubs best interest.
Hard to use the league position as a true measure. It’s a strange old season so far. But you can only beat what’s in front of you.
Going to be an interesting ride over the next 6 months! All aboard!
1.) 02 Feb 2026 03:51:26
It's certainly going to be a ride. There will be highs and lows I'm sure. The four first team players we brought in during the summer have levelled up our attack. I know the the jury is out for some on Sesko but I have faith in him. If we invest to the same level in midfield this summer then we will be in a good place next season.
Amorim has gone and hopefully the storm went with him. He said the good times are coming and now they're here. with Carrick, you knoooooowwwww!
2.) 02 Feb 2026 08:54:28
I was definitely an Amorim supporter, I agreed with a lot of what he said about the club/players etc. I also believe that if he had been given more time and another summer winder we would have seen further improvement and a champions leage run next year.
I do not believe he was given the best chance with the squad that we have for the style of play he wanted to play.
I think he would have been given at least a few more months has it not got so toxic relationship wise.
All that being said, I am not sure whether many clubs would have giben him as much time as we did and aside from the end the support. He also did not help himself with the lack of flexibility and any time he did and it looked like it would work then instantly flex back to his style to not allow for the alternative to work.
He will go on to be a success somewhere else and hopefully we will have that here too with whoever the next permanent is. The model is built to allow for these manager changes without too many issues.
3.) 02 Feb 2026 17:54:17
All he was good at is press conferences not one player in 14 months progressed, the results speak for themselves, very poor naive manager and probably the worst in game management I have seen in the EPL.
28 Dec 2025 19:16:16
In some devastating news it seems Maguire is close to a return.
1.) 28 Dec 2025 20:04:13
Why is that devastating?
2.) 28 Dec 2025 21:10:24
Maguire will be backup and we need experience on the bench. But I'd be highly surprised if he displaces Heaven.
3.) 29 Dec 2025 02:01:23
Coz he is pants!
4.) 29 Dec 2025 09:37:29
Really don't understand the issue with Maguire. He always gives his all, has scored some great late goals, and brings valuable experience to the younger defenders. I don't want him starting, but I have no problem with him being fit and available.
At this point, it is purely forced hate.
5.) 29 Dec 2025 09:59:36
Never been his biggest fan, but if Maguire was fit for the last 6 games we would certainly have more points, think we win both the west ham and bournemouth games we drew at home at the least.
Ironically the way the premier league has been this year suits Maguire the most since he joined, he is an absolute unit and quality in the air.
6.) 29 Dec 2025 16:29:48
He’s been good in a back 3, it suits his attributes. I’ve been critic over the years but fair play he is a top pro, kept his head down and has shown up when needed over the last 2 years.
7.) 29 Dec 2025 17:38:31
Yep, he's been solid this year. Limited but has shown his value this year.
8.) 29 Dec 2025 17:45:24
I am one of his biggest critics, but will be the first to say we could have done with him these last few weeks with MdL out.
That said, we have to keep moving forward as a group. We have a number of players coming through in CB, us we have the likes of Licha and Shaw stepping up or back from injury. For me, if MdL is fit, he nudges Maguire to the bench.
He is coming to the end of his contract, and I think we let him go. Simply because what we have is going to need adding to.
Licha, MDL, Heaven, Yoro, Shaw, Fredrickson, Mazraoui, Maguire
He is 32.
Even if he was on reduced wages (sub 100k/w), I still don't think I'd keep him as he would take a spot away from either a new signing or a youth player coming through.
His experience would be valuable, but we have sufficient experience in that area from MDL and Shaw and Licha.
9.) 29 Dec 2025 19:06:41
Agree with Jim.
10.) 30 Dec 2025 18:39:16
I would keep him. Seems to be a good professional. Worked hard to get his place back. You cannot buy experience and should be a good influence on younger players plus he is a valuable asset at set pieces.
25 Oct 2025 13:12:30
I waxed lyrical a while back on a young kid from Oz called Nestory Irankunda. He is now plying his trade at Watford and doing well.
Next cab off the rank is Alex Badolato. 20 years old. Even the pundits over here are saying he's that good so let's just enjoy him whilst he is still in Oz. Like Irankunda he has all the skill and can absolutely nail a ball from distance.
15 May 2026 00:53:18
Supposed to be the operative word. We are not the attraction we once were, or people believe we are.
In my mind, United are the biggest and best club in the world, but the reality is vastly different at this time.
People are not just looking at the club history, they are looking at the infrastructure behind it, and at this stage there is not a lot to show that they are making enough inroads to make it attractive to come to Old Trafford.
07 May 2026 09:14:24
C'mon, Grim. Keep it real.
We all know that context and Jsu do not mix well. ?
06 May 2026 06:21:34
I would argue that there are plenty of players that have just walked into the team in the last few years!
01 May 2026 22:31:03
One word ??.
23 Apr 2026 12:26:24
There we are then?
11 Aug 2026 00:01:35
Purely a gut prediction. Of course I want to be totally wrong!
I'm going for fifth this year.
Arsenal, Tottenham, City. I think they will be the top three for the reasons already stated.
The rest of the league will be carnage, with no real walkovers to be had, especially with United's propensity to play terribly against lower teams and not take advantage of the strange results elsewhere.
I think there will be a clear plan and more entertaining playing style compared to last year, but the results will elude us when it matters.
The following season, with hopefully some continuity, will be where the marked change will come as the new direction and mindset finally takes hold.
09 Aug 2026 08:21:24
Bring player power back into the rooms.
But hey ho. Nothing we can do about it, so gotta suck it up and see.
Personally, I would rather not see him back in the team.
08 Aug 2026 08:39:08
And therein, rightly or wrongly, lies the problem for both of you.
Both have great opinions and passion. But you just rub each other up. Maybe that's the fix. ?
07 Aug 2026 23:58:41
Time out, gents.
Healthy discussion is good. This ain't good. For the better good, step back and reset.
07 Aug 2026 22:56:14
Always good to see anyone on here. It shows passion, as misguided as many of us are!
Looking forward to the live chats. I'm fed up of the transfer saga!
