The ridiculous scenario you have made up can be resolved by asking the family if they will move or not, it's called scouting.
What is ridiculous is you including the family the scouting assignment. Whats next - scouting his sex life?

While you think such a scenario is ridiculous, it is no more ridiculous than
- player cheating on his wife and finding himself in a bitter divorce struggle,
- player's wife suffering from cancer,
- one player sleeping with another players ex or current WAG
- player living a less desirable lifestyle etc

Transfers flop for many reasons and trying put blame on the manager simply cos he wanted the player is just nonsense

Pah, hoped it would be something shocking, like merge with City.

Get rid of poor players and get better ones to replace them. An astounding combination of wit and audacity. No wonder this guy gets paid to write this stuff.

You are a weird poster, have fun in Mourinho's arse.
Typical of those who have nothing to substantive to offer.

You seem so obsessed with making everything about Mourinho that he is basically living rent free in your head.

So if you buy a player but his family refuses to relocate causing distractions for the player and thus he under performs on the pitch, we should blame the manager for his under performance? What would you have the manager do - kidnap the family?

Unless you can identify why the player is under performing, blindly assigning fault is just scapegoating.
Dude you're a gift that keeps on giving.

Then again the fault lies on the manager because he overestimated that player's mindset and how will he fit in the team. Him and his scouting team had done a poor job on player's evaluation.

What will be next? If we sign a player on manager's wishes but there's not enough park's in the City he's not gonna perform? Or if we sign a player that can only perform on sunny days? There's command responsibility, if Woodward is being held responsible for making the decision to appoint both LVG and Mourinho, there's a responsibility for Mourinho to bear when he gives a green light for Woodward go sign a player he wants.

Your agenda is so obvious that it can be seen from miles away. While it is amusing for a while, it wears thin quickly.

Feel free to enjoy amusing yourself

You want to really improve the Utd squad, then the first bit of business should be, get rid of Jose. The squad are only doing what he instructs them to do, knowing quite well if they don't then they could be bench warmers for months, e.g. Bailly. When his failings as a manager get exposed on the field then he is the first to tell the world it isn't his fault and then selects certain players he can throw under the bus to try and save face.

With another more modern manager with attacking football UTD will be a completely different team to what we are experiencing now.
The defence is shite and only spending money or developing some quality youngsters is going to fix that no matter who the manager is. I'd say we've got some good youngsters in defence but I'm not sure any of them are really top quality, we'll have to see how Tuanzebe gets on over the next few years and the young Portuguese lad, but realistically our defence needs the board/manager/whoever's fault it is to choose some quality targets and then go out and get them. New RB and composed CB at an absolute minimum.

We sign players and they stagnate. It's ridiculous really. How many of our signings have come to this club and improved as players? We need a shake down from top to bottom.
There's no need for rocking the ship when all you need is some cleverness to steer it.

We should hire David Silva the Barca academy coach and build it from there. Jose should become the trainer of the first eleven only. We should forget about instant success as it has not come. So lets forget about instant success but rebuild.
