Yep...just watch out for our 4-4-2 setup next year!
And in defence - I can just see Bret Thornton, Setanta and Jamo raising their hands in unison to the boundary umpire pleading for offside.
Ratts might coach from the sidelines as well!

Back to the subject matter - Mark Riley as an assistant - good choice.

I've done it!

Well I did step onto the pitch for just 10 seconds...

Great sense of History at Old Trafford. Maybe Swanny is also looking for ideas to incorporate in our new facilities.

Maybe we're making a play for Cesc Fabregas. That kid looks like he can play any sport he wants.

The Hammer has obviously made a bigger impact than we all expected...

With the Kreuzer coming into the side the Hammer will be going back to his old postion as striker :-D

P.S. Happy with the Riley inclusion

Nothing from those 3 clubs. Ratts needs to go see the Rafalution and become the Rattalution!!

Yeah he can learn to rotate players who are in form with those who are out of form.

Ratts is going to learn how to develop players and a squad. The only reason he'd go to Liverpool is so he can learn how to spend a billion dollars

Interesting appointment.

All I'll say is, I wish him well and hope he's effective.

Absolute superstar. Arsene is bloody genius - best identifier of young talent in the world, he doesn't spend a quarter of what the other scum do. Dick Pratt should get Wenger to our recruiting department.

Maybe "their" refers to the European clubs. It is probable that Ratts and Icke will teach ManU, Barca and Arsenal a few tricks :wink:

Well no wonder they're going to Arsenal & Barcelona. They'll stop in London where Wenger will tell them to poach a 17 year old from Barcelona because he's of draft age and Barca can't sign him yet. Still I suppose that's a good enough plan for me if we can find a CHF in Las Ramblas. :lol:

On a serious note though if they're going to Manchester they should bother to go only 30 mins west until they hit the water while they're in the UK. I'm sure the forthcoming redevelopment at MC Labor Park and the development academy that's in the pipeline could steal a few tips or create a few ideas at least of the state of the art training facility at Melwood and the Academy at Kirby which were built only a few years ago.

I don't know how advanced our satellite tracking system is, but perhaps the one Rafa uses would be useful. Take a look at the video.
