Talk:History of Manchester United F.C. (1986–2013)

message: It's not necessary to update this every time United lose or win a game. Look at the previous sections, they show how this should be done. The style of the current section is confusing, drawn out and not an overview at all. Look:
"Having played 32 of 38 matches, Manchester United lead the Premier League by 3 points over Chelsea, champions for the past two years. The team's style of play is reminiscent of that which typified the team in previous glory years. One major improvement is the partnership of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic in central defence. Further, Paul Scholes has rediscovered his past form, while Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to deal extremely successfully with wide criticism of him and his involvement in the 2006 World Cup; he even managed to win a £400 bet with Sir Alex Ferguson, as he scored 15 goals in the season."
and then just a bit later, in the same section:
"After 32 league matches, United are still leading the table by 3 points from Chelsea despite a laboured 2-1 defeat at the hands of Portsmouth on April 7th. The treble hopes are still alive as they've made it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup in which they'll play Watford and the Quarter Finals of the UEFA Champions League against AS Roma. However, in recent months United have suffered from a growing injury crisis; Gary Neville, Louis Saha, Nemanja Vidić, Mikael Silvestre and Park Ji-Sung have all been sidelined; Vidic, Neville, Silvestre and Park are still sidelined. Although, this did not stop United by having two consecutive 4-1's in a row against Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers respectively, with Park Ji-Sung scoring in both games."
If this article was supposed to be a running commentary of every single injury and event, imagine how long the other sections would be.

thread_title: Seriously

message: 1999 to 2007. A lot has changed since then. You could argue that the 2006/07 season deserves a new article of its own. The 2007 side is completely different from that of 99/00 team. - Tocino 6 May 2007
I concur. We should start one from 2006-2007  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpy4606 (talk • contribs) 12:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. To create a new article now would smack of recentism, especially since the other "History of Manchester United F.C." articles cover periods of 67 years, 24 years, 17 years and 12 years respectively. Personally, I think that we should combine the 1986-1998, 1998-1999 and 1999-present articles into a single article covering Alex Ferguson's time at the club. Then, when Fergie retires, we can start a new article. This may not be a feasible option, but creating a new article at this time would not be appropriate either. – PeeJay 12:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Time to make new article?

message: It says he was bought for £33 million in this article but his own article seems to disagree, somewhat. Marky-Son 15:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ferdinand 

message: The players who were at the club at the end of the treble season have been mentioned, as well as those who have replaced them and those who have come and gone in the time since.  Perhaps the mainstays could be added - Giggs, Neville, Brown and Scholes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Namzie11 (talk • contribs) 11:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: History section

message: It has nothing on the retirement on Gary Neville or Edwin van der Sar or the fact that Nemanja Vidić is the captain.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pretending Boy (talk • contribs) 00:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  More recent info 

message: Why have we suddenly decided to cut off this article at 2013? It's not like David Moyes' tenure has really got going yet. I mean, what are we going to put in the History of Manchester United F.C. (2013–present) article right now? There's literally no reason to create a new article yet. – PeeJay 11:48, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
