CEO green lights 700m of investment and the return is 1 FA Cup, League Cup and Europa league. Still the managers fault though. That is not how any business works including football clubs.
We are being grossly mismanaged by Woodward, who's hiring policy, philosophy of recruitment and industry network are not fit for purpose. 3 successive managers have been held on to for far longer than they should have, all to save a bit of cash due to some CL football clause. We are constantly paying more for players than other top clubs, largely because our negotiators are piss poor and Woodward actually wants to break transfer records. We also hold on to dross because we want to get some resale value instead of moving them on.
You would think LVG telling us that United is a business and not a football club would ring some alarm bells. His detailing of how Woodward told him one thing and was doing another thing behind his back. Mourinho wasn't even available until mid way through the season he was hired, which was done behind LVG's back. He then got a contract extension, was told his transfer targets are either too expensive or not good enough, and is now waiting to get sacked until the end of the season. 4 losses in the first 9 games of the season, in the 3rd season of a manager would see him get sacked at every top club except here.
