How about continuing the rebuild? 3 good signings so far. A few more and we might actually be getting somewhere.
We're not getting relegated, come off it man!Let's face it, everyone seems to have lots of answers, but no-one seems to have defined a viable solution to United's problems.
There are those who want Ole out, whilst forgetting that not so long ago they were Ole in. There are those want Jose back, less than a year after he was sacked for playing some of the worst football seen at United. There are those who want Pochettino in, yet on current form there is absolutely no evidence that he will do any better than Ole and then there are those who want Allegri in, whose biggest claim to fame is that he was serial winner in a one club league.
We replaced the colossus of Ferguson, with the man supposedly in his image (Moyes), then we replaced the hapless Moyes, with the experienced and worldly-wise Van Gaal. When that failed, we replaced the worldly-wise Van Gaal, with the serial-winner Jose. Then when Jose threatened to turn the club into a laughing stock, we replaced him with Ole, the club legend, who in a strange quirk of fate has now turned the club into a laughing stock.
Like I said, there are lots of easy answers, but no simple solutions. With the rebuild seemingly in tatters and a looming relegation battle on the horizon, where do we go from here?
Who is the 'we' in all this, who has the authority, never mind the money to do all that?We need to change the club from top to bottom, new owners, new board, new manager, new coaches, new players. We need to change everything
I love that clip
After Sir Matt Busby retired how many managers did the board go through before finding the right one.You get rid of the guy that tried "everything". I have never seen a CEO make so many shit decisions and survive.
We have restructured both the youth setup and the scouting setup since Sir Alex left. Put a lot of money in it as well. It needs time to settle. A technical director/DoF will probably be the next step. Its the structure of the club that has needed addressing; not necessarily this person or that one. The Mourinho thing set us back two years because he was not interested in contributing to or cooperating with what the club have been building in both respects.We just need to be patient. Any other plan or solution is never going to work. Our squads average age is absurdly low and it will be a few years until our players are at their peak. While we wait we add more young players in positions where we are weak and then in a 3-4 years time we will be a very good side.
Or you can try the Mourinho way and buy a bunch of players that are 28-36 and win a League cup and a Europa league and then go back to mediocrity.
Cannot believe this is so hard for people to fathom, there is not a manager in this world that can help our current team to a league title.
