Spelling the Glazers as Glaziers automatically discredits any point you subsequently make.
Also seen with McGuire, Erikson/Erikkson etc.
I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

If that is to be the case, that we are truly truly fecked. No other man at the club should have more player knowledge than the manager himself imo. By that I don't mean he has to be a live player data center, but ETH has to have that ability to recognize a true talent or not when he sees one, otherwise no point of having him, even the most competent DOF would be obsolete.
Buys like Antony and Onana just reek of him lacking it.
That worked out well the last time around.
I love the man but I don’t like this at all.
Looks like Fergie has influenced Radcliffe and now they're leaking it, that it's SAF's call and not his.
You think Onana isn't talented?
Fergie should not be involved in this decision at his age. Genius as he was, he has as far as I know never worked under a DOF and, if we take the nearest equivalent (managers), he has a track record of poor appointment recommendations such as McCleish and, as we all know, Moyes. Sounds like cheap populism (unsurprisingly from a promoter of Brexit).
Please no consulting Fergie and no hiring ex players. Can we just modernise this club already and stop living in the past. It's long overdue
No I don't think a goalkeeper with that level of actual GK ability is talented enough for Manchester United.
You what? The manager is not being paid to scout the world for talent, that should be somebody else’s job. The manager has enough to do to coach the squad that he’s got. Yes, he had too much power and very limited knowledge of the market, hence the bad buys we’ve made. But that’s actually the clubs fault for not presenting him with a list of suitable targets and then giving him, allegedly, the power of veto. Managers should never be the ones buying players. A manager’s club life is generally short, we do not want to be in a situation where a new manager comes in and has to work with the previous manager’s mates. We need to get recruitment right and on a sustainable basis.
Our biggest mistake was Ferguson moving upstairs and taking that director of football role. 10 years later if he wanted the role I would give it. If you read his book ‘Leading’ it’s clear his vision for the club after he retired was there, United just didn’t implement. Fans want to blame him for Moyes or whatever but don’t blame him, blame the Glazers.
Then it reeks of you lacking the ability to recognize talent.

This is some new level of mental gymnastic pal. Yeah he should not scout the world for talent, but he surely needs to recognize how shit Antony actually will be in an environment outside of his dutch farmer level league.
Maybe so, I can recognize garbage when I see one though.Then it reeks of you lacking the ability to recognize talent.
Let's hope so, he deserves to be thrown out of the door on his fat arse.
He should be a United managerThen it reeks of you lacking the ability to recognize talent.
We all love him, but football's changed since he was our manager.
If SJR was to be making a big signing in January , who do you think he’d go for?
I appreciate we want to move away from muppet signings, but he may want to make some sort of statement to fans.
Id rather he didn’t to be honest and just had a longer term plan, but just curious who people think he might try to sign?

No one.
He'd leave that up to the newly appointed sporting director and ten Hag.
I don’t mean he’d choose somebody himself , moreso he’d make funds available for it.
Id prefer a clever , cheap addition to be honest with a serious summer of business
Yes, he should have realised Antony isn't right, but also, he would have needed alternative options.
I also thought that one of Moyes's problems were that as an Everton manager there were parts of the market which he had little knowledge of because they were never relevant for him - The better, established players, who were no-go zones for Everton due to profile and price. When Moyes got to United, suddenly he had to shop in those levels. It might be the same for ETH, both because he worked with a DOF at Ajax and also because Ajax and United shop at very different places. That's why ETH needed a better structure at United, to help him make the jump between the Dutch League and Ajax to the Premier League and United. He never got it - or did not trust what he did get - so he quite naturally went for the players he knew.

Patrick Stewart would make it so.
Get Romulan Lukaku in. Warp Factor ten Hag. Will get Scotty Beaming. The Wrath of Kanchelskis.
Or perhaps an out-of-this-world signing:
Kylian Mclasse
No need for that much effort, just chuck a pack of wrigleys at it and it’ll start yelling at you.
Todibo is an obvious one. Player they are familiar with, highly rated and in a position we need. That being said, they are unlikely to sabotage Nice's season, so it will likely happen in the summer.
They did with Ragnick but he didn’t want to listen. Wanted his own players in.
People need to stop posting this dude as if he knows anything. Complete chancer - always going for the safe, easily observable/to assume stuff - and often does so after ot has been reported somewhere else
Said it before it was reported but okay...
He was a romantic option for Fergie. He wasnt "THE CHOICE." He wasnt in a position to make the choice. He quit United because of a mix of his own health problems (missing some of pre-season due to nose bleeds) and the death of his sister in law. The likes of Klopp, Pep, Carlo etc. dont get out of their contracts within a few weeks of an announcement. Its mad that Fergie gets the blame for Moyes.
Should never have been given the powers to buy him. Not his job!
The level of disrespect and arrogance/ignorance on the part of United fans is shocking --- acting like they know what the Great Man did, knows and was responsible for.
There is so much recency effect or 'what have you done for ME lately' syndrome going on.
i have never heard RAWK disrespect Shankly or even Paisley but here ... Caftards seem to know more than anyone about how to run a club than management, past or present!
Embarrassing.
Gill was against the Glazer takeover but was kept on. United did better than expected during the next decade
Arnold voted against them
Someone didn't get an invite to the pub
Great points. There's no real downside to hope so let's hope something good comes from Ratcliffe's partial ownership of the club. What we must avoid at all costs is permanently becoming a club that everyone around the world looks at as the laughingstock that we are today.
But Moyes was in fact the choice. Yes of course not the first choice, but he was the choice that Ferguson made. I said it at the time (on another forum, not here) that going with Moyes would fukk the club for at least a decade and it's been a decade now and we're as fukked now as we were back then.
That's clearly not what fecked us. The evidence of the last decade points to what has fecked up. Selling Ronaldo for £80 million and not spending that money was a big one. David Gill leaving and not putting someone competent in to replace him was another. Moyes had a bad 8 months, where he wasnt backed in the transfer market. That isnt the basis of 10 years of mediocrity. You cant keep blaming him for it, when so many others have failed.
What kind of crap is this? So he got or he didn’t get alternatives? You say he didn’t but then you say he got but he didn’t trust them?
I find it hard to believe there weren’t alternatives for Antony. Casemiro himself was an alternative so this all thesis of your is based on absolutely nothing but blind excuses.
