I’ll make it easy for people.
Steven Gerard becomes Man Utd manager. Is given 3 years. Spends £500m, wins no trophies, develops no style of play, doesn’t actually develop or coach our players to any noticeable level of improvement, many regress. Indulges the players, makes them think they are doing the club a favour and starts the habit of us losing by 3 or 5 against teams from top to bottom. Toxic positivity becomes toxic disrespect for the club. He allows the players to think they are bigger than the club.
Ole Solskjaer comes in as interim, tries to develop a style of play but the squad put together by Steven is not good enough so he can’t. He’s rejected and thrown under the bus for exposing players who have a poor attitude and letting it be known that the club is bigger than the players. He’s basically said what we’ve been crying out for. In the winter window he’s given no support. He recommends we sign a striker, gives a list of 3 players, our scouts reject all as “not good enough” one moves to Liverpool and transforms their season, the other gets signed by City, and the third gets signed by Juventus.
Ole’s spell as interim ends. We finish poorly. But the board suddenly decides to do the biggest restructuring it’s ever done. Especially in regards to our scouting department.
Who did better or who was worse ?
