Superfan Doug asks the big one: should United cash in on Bruno Fernandes in January and clear out the deadwood? Ryan and Wozza debate who to build the rebuild around, preview Villa’s Moose Cup trip to Bournemouth, and dig into a Sack Watch that refuses to end: is United the biggest (and hardest) job in football, would the league’s top managers take it, was David Moyes really that bad, and is Carrick actually capable? Plus Howe vs. Nagelsmann, Ryan’s accidental FPL captaincy masterstroke, and Harry Kane’s Ballon d’Or.

#ManUtd #AstonVilla #PremierLeague #CarabaoCup #FPL

The Unai-ssance strikes: Nicolas Jackson scores twice as Villa beat Man City 2-1 to end their perfect start (and Wozza’s unbeaten tracker). Meanwhile United are battered 3-0 at home by Bournemouth after Carrick drops Bruno, and somehow Carrick is still in the job. Ryan and Wozza debate whether Howe or Nagelsmann should be next, whether United is the hardest job in football, cash Friday’s tickets, and size up the title race after Liverpool beat Brighton and Spurs beat Chelsea. Plus Wozza’s old college coach is now coaching Harry Kane.

Plus United’s reported shortlist of Nagelsmann, Howe and Conte, and what the boardroom power struggle says about the club.

Barrister Wozza finally loses one at the Court of VAR, then the guys take on his magic wand question: if you could fix one thing at United, would it be a new squad, a new manager and director of football, or new owners? PSG beat Barcelona 4-2, Ryan pits Barça against the rest of Europe in a game of Champions League Takeover (and Wozza goes big on City and Villa), and Liverpool come from two down to beat Villarreal. Plus previews of Como v United, Villa v Viking and Bayern v Arsenal, an FPL listener league update with Wozza now 15 points clear, and the Palmer vs. Mbeumo bet.

Johan Manzambi returns to haunt the club he nearly joined as Villa win 1-0 at St James’ Park, and Wozza declares the Unai-ssance officially underway. United draw again at Elland Road, Carrick calls it a “fresh start,” and the sack watch looks ahead to Como, Bournemouth and Chelsea. Ryan and Wozza cash Friday’s tickets (Wozza’s VAR appeal is pending), react to City making it seven from seven, debate whether Brighton’s Fabian Hürzeler is the man United should want, and preview Tuesday’s Champions League.

Villa thrash Fenerbahçe 6-0 and Wozza is officially unbearable. Ryan and Wozza cash Wednesday’s tickets, react to City losing 4-2 at home to PSG (and Wozza’s bold call that they’ll go unbeaten in the league anyway), and check whether Brighton are pulling away. Then they preview the weekend: Newcastle v Villa, a must-win Leeds v United at Elland Road, and the latest on United’s reported managerial shortlist. Plus a big debate on how much patience a manager really deserves.
