Just found out from a friend of mine at the club - Slot is gone!
He’s not been sacked but it’s mutual from both parties for a clean break. It will be announced next week, they’re trying to get Iraola as a replacement.
Take it with a pinch of salt but personally believe it 🥳
No words for this 😂😂😂😂😂
The FA have always had it in for United.
They hated the fact that we kept beating their darlings, Liverpool and Arsenal, building a level of dominance English football may never see again.
The signs were there all along:
• Rooney and Scholes: suspensions for pre-season red cards.
• Rooney: banned for swearing into a TV camera during a goal celebration.
• Rio Ferdinand: an eight-month ban for missing a drugs test despite subsequently testing negative, while City’s Christian Negouai received a £2,000 fine for being positive.
• Cantona: an eight-month ban for his kick on racist fan, while Suárez received a shorter ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra.
• The 1999 FA Cup: United forced to withdraw due to the Club World Cup amid pressure linked to England’s 2006 World Cup bid.

In the last 13 years, the same thing happens where you enjoy United’s downfall but it gets so bad that you almost feel sorry for them. Then they get a little bounce and their fans start piping up so when they go through turmoil again, you can enjoy it again.
It’s ironic that baldy here wants a “sporting chance” yet that’s what City denied others via their industrial cheating & inflating the transfer market.

Imagine crying about a fictional "cartel" asset-stripping Bournemouth when your own club is the only one that actually spent £105M to gut their squad (Aké & Semenyo).
But let's talk about the real delusion here: focusing on the rules is a classic deflection to distract from industrial financial fraud.
Complaining about spending rules is not a defense for cheating.
Bournemouth has achieved its historic success by working hard, scouting brilliantly, and completely following the rules. They didn’t need an underground £830M disguised funding scheme or "sham" state contracts to build a squad capable of smashing elite European clubs.
The real tragedy? If certain clubs hadn't fraudulently pumped artificial state money into the system, creating a toxic hyper-inflation of player wages and transfer fees organically run teams like Bournemouth would be even further along.
Sovereign state doping didn't "save" football, it broke the economic ladder for the clubs that actually play by the book. Stop using whataboutism to shield your dirty conviction on 114 counts of corporate deception.
Bournemouth have smashed Man Utd at Old Trafford and AC Milan in europe in a single week. 10 champions league titles between them. Incredible for them. Hopefully current Premier League rules mean their squad doesn’t get asset stripped by red cartel clubs in the summer.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Since 2010 Manchester City FC have spent more on Bournemouth players (Ake and Semenyo) than any of Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United.

Mark Goldbridge reaction to Manchester United losing 3-0 to Bournemouth, this is so hilarious 😂😂😂
Man City fans have just spend the last week or so banging on about “cost of living” because they only had 40k fans for one game because there were 3 home games in a week.
Liverpool are just about to have 4 home games in 12 days but will have 98% capacity. They claim they’re somehow as big as Real Madrid but they don’t have the fans to replace the fans who cannot afford to go that much.
I also completely agree with them, I can’t afford to go next week but someone will take my place. Because that’s what happens at big clubs.
The issue isn’t about crowds, it’s about them pretending to be something they’re not.
Not a bad start to the season considering how bad things were last season.
New manager trying to implement a pressing style on players who were knackered last season. You can see us do it for short periods and then get tired.
Injuries have played a role but happy with the start and can see a direction of where we want to be. Jacquet has been immense.
The thing with Manchester United is that it’s not the manager. They’ve had some quality managers since Ferguson retired.
United haven’t had a proper succession plan and structure behind the scenes. They’ve got the money to pay the wages and the fees but the big players don’t want to go there. They’ll attract players who are only arsed about the money and that’s never a good thing.
What would Liverpool be without a succession plan after Shankly? We stopped succession planning after Kenny and it went to shit.
United are far off from where they want to be but it’s not the fault of Carrick or Bruno or any of the latest drama. Fantastic stuff 🤷🏼♂️😂
