- Moyes - 10 years of mid table at Everton with a defensive style and never really showing much more than mid-table pedigree. Obvious he was going to fail.
- Van Gaal - Was able to coach his style where we would play our game against any opponent, unfortunately his style was being obsessed with possession and not taking any risks on the ball. Long past his decline anyway.
- Mourinho - First year won 3 trophies, 2nd year finished 2nd behind City with 100 points. Mourinho never lasts more than 2 years, things turned sour. Play style was never his thing, he is always a reactive manager who thrives on being the underdog and battling through. That only lasts so long and is always an issue with the biggest clubs
- Ole - Failed at Cardiff. Did well enough with Molde in the Norwegian league. Only reason he was even mentioned was because he was a previous United player. Playing style proven to be nothing but reacting to the opponents to counter attack, or battle and work as hard as possible and be entirely reliant on individual quality to do anything.
It's been 4 appointments, with only Van Gaal who was a manager known for implementing a style of play (and he was a manager who was notorious to be a bit insane, really hard to work with, fell out with every team he worked with, obsessed with possession and 0 risk taking, etc). Why don't we act like a truly big club, and get a manager who wants their team to play a system that
acts like the bigger team. We haven't had a manager who plays on the front foot, who imposes themselves on the opponents and tries to make things happen.
The personnel we have in our squad is fine. The issue is we just don't look well coached, at all. So many times we don't know what we're doing. We're 100% reliant on individual quality and mentality. It's a testament to what we have that we finished 3rd last year and are only 2 points off this year, despite being entirely reliant on individual quality and mentality. Because our coaching/system/play style is pretty much non existant.
