The ex-Utd player thread.

Amazingly, Imrie is currently the Championships longest serving manager at 2 years! 😂 Just goes to show the longevity of managers these days

Imrie has also got Morton going well after a dodgy start to ghe season. Probably the form team in the league ATM.

I agree, but when was the last time we had a manager who stayed for 3 years or more? Peter Houston?

Levein just over 3, Houston just over 3 (but felt like one era really), Jackie 2.5, since then not had any ran stability, think we would have got it with Neilson if not for covid and Hearts approach, then was hoping Courts would stay as had earned time for getting 4th and utilising lots of academy players at the same time

The other managers just weren't right outside those two since 2015

United set to land 500k from Aziz Behich transfer to the Saudi League. That's a decent wee clause we had there!

Is that right? It would be great if that were true - I thought he was simply released from his contract with us.

Courier now reporting this, would expect they checked it with the Club before printing.

Edit to add, great news if true

No been on FunMad for years but I'll go on it now and check that this is true👍

I'm surprised our very own Jeremy Vine didn't break this news a few days ago tbh.

The debate is around the fact that the Saudi club have paid a loan fee not a transfer fee.
Pretty sure that counts but it's going towards reducing the Ogren debt 😐

[tHeArAb]

A loan is officially a loan transfer. A permanent transfer is officially that. Both are transfers. Whether a loan or permanent, the player is transferred, and if money is paid for a transfer, then any subsequent sell-on must also be paid.

Piscean will be along in a moment to share his joy at this news, Belfast too

Just watching the new series of Welcome To Wrexham and the episode Steven Fletcher signs for them. He runs through all the clubs he played for but the only one he gives comment on is his time at United saying with a broad smile on his face “I really enjoyed my time there despite the relegation. The lads were great, the fans were great and I will always have a soft spot for them now” Nice touch.

Any updates on Siegrist? With Schmeichel added to Celtics goalkeeping options surely he has to be moved on?

Think Neil Lennon is trying to sign him for Rapid Bucharest.
