Manchester United

I subscribe to the belief that United are like Everton but on a more epic scale due to the extra money and larger fan base.

It just occurred to me that Jim Ratcliffe is their Kenwright and they are just getting into their implosion. Carry on Jimbo!

Let's take a moment to look at the similarities between Moshiri/Kenwright era Everton and the current set-up at Man Utd.

Firstly, the new stadium projects are commonalities across both clubs. Our project is in its final stages and could take the club to the next level. Meanwhile, it is early days for Manchester United in their stadium project, with initial designs having been released. Our new stadium cost a fortune and has stretched the club's finances at times.

Then there are the other similarities. The managerial merry-go round, the heap of over-priced signings and an apparent lack of cohesion in the boardroom. Some may even suggest that both clubs are stuck in the past. I would argue that Man Utd are perhaps even more stuck in the past than ourselves, since some of their supporters seem convinced that the Ferguson days are still upon them.

Even their decline in league position mirrors our own decline in league position over the years.

He's just not all that good honestly, feels like a weird move out of nowhere for a player that likely barely improves Barcelona.

Decent player, but more "Aston Villa decent" than "Barcelona decent".

I dunno like, think he’s very very good. Maybe a daft move by Barcelona as there is probably better value out there but time will tell.
