Have we been in transition though? Until recently a lot of the side were leftovers from SAF and most of the so-called transition players have gone. That seems a bit the wrong way round to me. Most players bought after SAF have been ditched by the following manager. That is probably the biggest conumdrum. Is it bad choice of managers? Should be have kept one of these managers longer or just awful player recruitment? Are we now trusting the same people who made these decisions to back Ole?
I think both. Moyes got only 10 months.
Maybe he should have gotten more time, but he did after all take the league winners and took them to 6th so it was understandable he was sacked.

Personal opinion, and with the power of hindsight, i see only the bolded ones as decent transfers, so over the year there have been a LOT of bad business done by the club. Another issue is that none of these have managed to replace relics from the Ferguson era like Jones, Smalling and Young and in fact they have been mainstays in many sides.
The amount of wasted money on failed transfers and silly wages have been astronomical.
