THE REAL TROUBLE AT MANCHESTER UNITED (NOT MOURINHO)

By Ridwan Oladejo


Glory! Glory! Man united, that is what we are used to in Manchester. Manchester united - the red devils - owns the bragging rights in the two halves of Manchester; now in history? With the recent match outcomes under Mourinho, can we still chant again with pride?


The current manager at the helm of affairs has been severally attacked for the team's display, while also not forgetting the attacks he also launched. According to some quarters of the British media, Mou has been quoted to criticise the transfer policy of the club, aside his criticism of his players and match officials in recent times. However, it should be noted that the board got him the players he requested (e.g. Pogba and Mihky) to bolster the squad he met at United... yet, he is dissatisfied.
Who then do we blame - board, manager, players or predecessors? Hitting the nail on the head, the current situation hammering the red devils can be traced to the final lap of Sir Alex Ferguson's era as United's manager. With a visibly ageing squad, Fergie didn't see the need and necessity to get the players worthy of adorning the devils jersey. One obvious mistake, even to the blind, was the recall of Paul Scholes out of retirement to fill the void in United's midfield. Good move?
In addition, the appointments of Moyes and LVG didn't spell good for a big football club like Man United. These two aforementioned managers could only attract average quality players (e.g. Damian), as well as those who struggled for form in the ever crazy English premier league (e.g. Depay). This only brings to fore that the situation rocking United's season has been on for quite some time and Mou is wrong to point fingers.



In conclusion, Mourinho is wrong, terribly wrong to criticize the club's transfer policy. He was responsible for the choice of players bought, even if it meant breaking banks to land the players signatures. Unlike his counterpart in the blue half of Manchester who got his targets and the pounds to spend, and his players in arguably their best form at the moment... Mourinho is only venting his frustrations and inability to get results on the wrong channels -board, players, and match officials. The devil has been in it's snare before his arrival in the red half of Manchester.

NEWCASTLE TO BE BOUGHT BY ARAB LORD

It has really been a crazy season: Manchester City winning the League with Less points than last season, Liverpool losing the League despite having the highest points as a runner-up, all other top 6 clubs bottling the top 4 position repeatedly and the greatest of them all...Newcastle is going to be bought by an Arab Billionaire. BACKGROUND Mike Ashley has been looking to sell Newcastle after it seemed the club hasn't been giving him enough profits but then no buyer came all through the season and he was unwilling to spend on the transfer window which annoyed Newcastle fans and gaffer, Rafa Benitez. Almost of out the blues, Sheikh Khaled decided to join his Cousin, Sheikh Mansour,  the owner of Man City, to acquire a Premier League Club and has found Newcastle as a worthy club. Many unconfirmed reports from the middle east and top journalists on twitter, are claiming that the deal is done. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN? This could be very important for Newcastle City because i...

WILLIAN TRANSFER TAKES NEW TURN WITH THESE RECENT CLAIMS

Chelsea transfer window has been up and down and not progressing for a while now especially with several reports coming out about their best leaving. E.g. Hazard, Willian, Courtois and Kante. Chelsea board has been doing their best to keep them at the club since Maurizio Sarri has displaced Antonio Conte, who lost the dressing room. One of the players that seemed most likely to leave was Willian. Reports suggested that Barcelona and Manchester United were bidding for him which Chelsea held a high valuation of £70 million for him. However, Barcelona signed Malcom and Manchester United aren't close to signing him. After it all appeared to be over, Willian wasn't back at Cobham for pre-season and was reported to have passport issue which Sarri thought it was strange and was going to have a word with the player.  But then... Willian  has appeared to instruct his lawyers to act on a "forged" letter which has circulated on the "football market." H...
