Really? Cause I can't see anything that remotely suggest that. United had been taken for a ride by agents for the past 7 years. If its true that Ole has more salary then Klopp (previous contract) then we can say that even our former players are taking us for a ride as well cause there's no way that a manager who had failed at any level that is not amateur level should be paid as much. We've got one of the highest salary bills in Europe and a mid table level squad to show for it.
As said, most clubs have a history of raising into position people of their own. That's because they have a solid structure which allows them to do so. A former player is introduced to an experienced set up were he's shown the ropes up until he doesn't need help anymore and in turn he becomes the 'veteran'. Therefore the cycle goes on and on until, somehow along the line it breaks and it needs to be built again. For example when Juventus had to do a clean up because of Calciopoli, their only option was to go for outside talent. That outside talent translated into the very experienced Marotta whose got a CV as long as my arm. Marotta brought in Paratici from Sampdoria. Then once the structure was built, people 'closer' to home were brought in like for example Conte.
United need to build a solid structure lead by experienced people on top of their game. Then once that is in place then sure we can start adding people of our own and hope that they would learn and one they become protagonists in our rebuilt. Unfortunately what we seem to have are a bunch of people who are learning on the job (Woodward, Ole, Carrick, Mckenna and possibly Cruyff) with the assistance of the occasional dinosaur (Phelan)
United being taken for a ride by agents in the last 7 years is one of the reasons we have this thread. And Ole getting paid more than Klopp has been debunked by a number of posters on here. United also had solid foundations in that regard dating back to Walter Crickmer and Jimmy Murphy who laid the foundations for Sir Matt and the reason Man Utd became the juggernaut it did. When Sir Alex makes a reference to how Bayern are run, it's a point worth considering imo.
Do clubs who have a history of having a structure, have that structure due to people affiliated to the club? I would say there's strong evidence of that at several historically big clubs which dates back several decades. And it's for that reason there isn't a clamour for the likes of Rangnick, Campos, Monchi etc among the elite clubs, because Madrid, Barca, Bayern could quite easily hire the likes if they choose to do so.
Did Juventus go for the best candidates for the role from a CV/resume perspective or did they go for the best fit for their club by targeting Italians domestically? If they had gone the CV/resume route then do you think the best answer was only confined to Italy rather than the rest of Europe? Marotta who you say has a CV 'as long as your arm' was at Como, Venezia, Atalanta and Sampdoria before being appointed the GM at Juventus in 2010. With such a CV did he have the credentials to lead Juve after the Calciopoli scandal considering the biggest club he'd been at was the equivalent of Everton in England?. Let's be honest here, if we target someone with a similar CV in England, you'd be calling him out for his lack of experience due to the task at hand but give Marotta a pass when the Juve job was much more difficult compared to United currently after the Calciopoli scandal. It's easy to say he did a great job with hindsight tbf. Juve could've hired someone who had a better CV than Marotta but the Sampdoria man was deemed the best man for Juve and we could learn from that.
I have absolutely no problems with hiring the likes of Rangnick but I also have no issues with hiring Cruyff or even DoFs from England for that matter. But the man brought in has to fit into the setup or there will be issues which would be detrimental to the club in the longrun. We could learn from Juve in that regard when they brought in Marotta from Italy's equivalent of Everton. It's better to have the right man for the club who would work well with the headcoach, rather than just appoint the best man due to his CV/resume.
