Don't know much about Andy Tate so I apologise for that. Though having tried to listen and understand, I also apologise for remaining uninfluenced by, unimpressed by and frankly bemused by his narrative of the bright golden future the Portuguese shitface will bring to my club.
As a manc born and bred myself , and well familiar with the accent in which this fella delivers to camera, I also apologise for the absence of any insight or in-depth analysis in this lad's narrative of ANY of the HOW factors that assure successful teams are manufactured. You can't ever operate on the "going to Harrods for yer shopping" ethos ffs! It takes a gifted man of patience, a down to earth man of the people with a confident and assured personal belief in and possessed of a personal vision way beyond 3 seasons to be appointed to the helm for the re-construction of any club.
The challenge of simply getting the basics in place via root and branch changes in order to underpin the objective of creating and sustaining a dynasty of excellence and remaining focussed on playing the game the way it always OUGHT to be played is, in my judgement, a task of over 4-8 years! If it's worth doing it's worth doing WELL!
Matt Busby's deeply-reverenced legacy of always having been personally committed to building and securely locking that ethos into the DNA of his (and MY!) club for the assured enjoyment and attendant success for future generations to come has been placed in totally the wrong hands.
