1) Why can't people accept that
Jose failed miserably at United? Never challenging for the league in 3 years, only winning a EL with the easiest draw imaginable and looking clueless in CL. Leaving the club in an arguably worse state than he found it. Having a pretty dodgy record in the market.
2) Why can't people also accept that with the structure in place above him (Woodward & Co.)
Mourinho was doomed to fail from day one. In that, the club should have backed him or sacked him. In that the club should have stood by the manager and not appeased players like Pogba, Martial, Shaw etc. In that the club (board, scouting network, negotiators) should have made his job easier by getting the targets he wanted and not fecking argue about 4-5 million pounds over Perisic. If that's the player he wanted, get him - otherwise sack him. By doing neither, Ed Woodward and board essentially torpedoed 2018-2019 season, which resulted in an interim appointment which brings us to present day.
3) The corollary to point #2 is that a lesser manager like
Ole is also doomed to fail. He might be the greatest tactician (which he isn't), but with an unbalanced squad such as ours crying out for at least 4 positions (5 if Pogba leaves), he's getting no help from Ed and the board. We lost 2 midfielders last season (Fellaini, Herrera), a striker and a forward (Lukaku, Sanchez) without replacing. Without goin into the merits of whether or not they should have been sold/let go, what's indisputable is that they should have been replaced. Instead the club is focused on
extending deadwood for fear of risk of execution, and promoting mediocrity like Mata, Young, Lingard, Pereira, Jones, Shaw etc. If a championship player from Swansea looks like our best player week in week out, what does that say about the quality of our squad and the quality of the work they do behind closed doors?
Our 'positive' energy should be focused on Ed Woodward, he's the chancer and cancer at our club.
