That I understand but our club is ver poorly run. We are trying to be Galacticos - no plan, just buy the shiny toys and hope they work.
United seem to always follow the same path. The manager comes in, he gives a quick look to the squad and he decides that half of it is not good for his gameplay. The board gives him absolute power on transfers and he gets the players he want in his first year as manager. Unfortunately since his job is different than that of a scout, he's got little to no idea of the market and he'll stick to players to know. For example Moyes went for Fellaini after spending the entire summer chasing Fabregas, LVG brought the likes of Valdes, Bastian, Blind, Depay and Rojo, Mou went for Matic, Lukaku and wanted Willian while our Ole went for Maguire, Haaland, King, AWB etc. Turns out that these players are either not good enough and/or two expensive which lead to the owners pulling the plug as the success brought does not match the investment made. Which leads to frustration, the manager's sacking and a new manager coming in, which usually has a different approach to the game then the former manager.
This system lead with managers feeling betrayed by the board and scouts feeling that they had been ignored. For example Langley suggested De Ligt, De Jong and Upamecano while Jorge Alvial suggested Alphonso Davies and Pulisic.
We need to move our system to modern times. The age when managers managed the football side with the board limiting themselves in forking money is over. We need more people at board level who understand football and can make sure that the club doesn't get screwed which include a DOF. Managers are still important but they can't be considered better scouts then scouts. Meanwhile money people can't be considered better transfer negotiators then people who does that for a living.
