I know we have to do better with the players we have and a new coaching team is obviously required however I actually think we need a HUGE rebuild.
Coaching team - needs replacing, including the manager.
Stadium - Old and knackered, needs serious investment.
Training facilities - Dated in comparison to our rivals.
US owners - Genuinely don’t care about the club, the bottom line is all that matters.
And now the team…
AWB - Not good enough for a top team.
Maguire - Just not good enough and is a liability at times.
Victor - Has never been good enough, decent squad option.
Shaw - Lacks consistency.
Fred - No need to explain
McTom - Not good enough, squad player at best.
Pogba - Needs to move on.
Cavani - It’s clear he won’t be here for too long
Ronaldo - Obviously will only be here for a year or two.
Martial - Enough is enough
Eric - How is he still here?
Jones - No need for an explanation.
Jesse - Squad player at best
Telles - Is not good enough
That is 13 players who are just not good enough or who will be gone in the next couple of years. Obviously we are not going to get rid of all of them and so we are stuck with our investments for a number of years.
That is a bigger job than most people realise I think, our first 11 seemed decent this year on paper but the midfield and defence need rebuilding and some of the big names will be gone within a couple of years.
No quick fix here I am afraid, I don’t see a manager being able to be successful with this group and in this environment.
