According to the bar staff that are in the know, due to Ronaldo’s poor spelling in English and as we are the third team beginning with ‘Man’ we are his next choice should things not go his way at Old Trafford this afternoon.

Not a downer mate, I think he is a good manager and we are lucky to have him,
however, so far his substitution's have frustrated me, I don't think he has been proactive enough and I think he is perhaps shoehorning his new players into the team at the moment.
With regards to transfer windows, I am still a little sour with how January went, him holding off for Akins and not getting him (letting 2 strikers go in the process) and it leaving us short, just hoping the same doesn't happen this time as we clearly need a replacement for Rawson.
but all in all I think he is a good manager.

Can he play full back? He was a winger so should be all we need
I'm gonna get in trouble with repeating this joke soon.

Many would regard Jan as good window 2 big earners off the budget, and objective achieved league status during a time of financial restraint.
shoehorning new players could be just a case of players bonding, as most teams are at the beginning of a new campaign.
It seems Rawson is your weak link, Expectation is a two edged sword, any new player will not suit all, and he will be playing in league 2, and if he is any good we will be competing against bigger clubs, perhaps from a higher division.
Clough makes his substitutions with a lot more information on fitness and tactics than fans on the terrace,
Quality players have choices, clubs do not like to lose Quality players , Quality players cost more in transfers or wages,
But i do agree with you, if the number 1 target fails a decision will be made on a alternative who will be available.

January was not a good transfer window. I can’t believe anyone would dress it up that way.

Only based on the opinion that fans wanted us to spend loads more money during a pandemic, no fan, no income season. Fans were really saying things like we can go up if we add the right players... utterly bonkers.
If you're sensible and look back at it, yes we got two big earners out which helped the club. Clough would have liked one or two more players no doubt but it wasn't vital and in the end wasn't costly to staying up. Im glad we didn't sign players for the sake of it like previous managers would have done.. Sarkic getting injured was hard luck, he was a decent signing on paper. Quinn was a great addition too. And finally we saw some of the young players given a fair chance, and they did well.
It was perhaps underwhelming to some but wasn't poor given the circumstances.

It was a no harm done transfer window.
The injury to Lapslie did more harm than the losss of Cook & Maynard.

Sarkic turned turned out to be a complete dud and it was obvious for anyone to see that Reid would not add the goals to put us in the mix.
We created lots and lots of chances last season and a decent striker would have turned a fair few of this into goals, which in turn would have become wins.
We should have kept Cook. He wanted to leave because he wasn’t playing, yet he was much better than Reid.
