Ten Haag looks a good appointment. On paper he is what Utd need. If he is allowed time to mould/sort the team out then UItd have a chance of challenging again. The problems will come from a squad who don't care, most of whom are overpaid and know no one else will pay them half as much so if they get sold they take a huge wage cut, hence it's in their interest to get the manager fired. Plus a Board who know FA about football or are primarily concerned with finances and not football.
Still, I step in the right direction for Utd, sadly lol.
Agreed on Lampard. That was a daft appointment to start with. He has no track record of relegation fights. In fact his track record is bang average. He took sides to exactly where you would expect them to be. That's NOT what you need when you are fighting relegation. To think the Everton fans graffitied their own training ground saying they didn't want the other fella who was in the running, despite him having won leagues and having shown he had a clue how to manage. I bet they are regretting that now.
Still given how much money they have wasted over the last 3 or 4 years it's hard to have any sympathy for them. And boy are they ****** when they go down, financially they are properly ******. They are chancing their arm by claiming they are still JUST inside PL finance rules, but take away the PL TV money and reduce gate receipts and suddenly **** gets real. They'll do well to get rid of most of the ***** they bought as well. Plus I doubt they put relegation release clauses or wage reduction clauses in their contracts.
Ohh and that 1st penalty they got was a joke. Gordon feels a little contact, takes two steps then LITERALLY swan dives. THAT'S NOT A PEN. THAT'S A DIVE! VAR looked at it and saw no reason to over rule. You have to wonder WTF those boys smoke. Contact does not equal a foul. Taking 2 steps then swan diving kinda gives away that the contact wasn't enough to knock him over. Still, good old VAR.
Ohh and nice of Chelsea to defend like Everton last night too. They will do well to get through now.

Moyes has done a truly phenomenal job.
