I think a big reason that Moyes, LVG and Mourinho all struggled with the job was all of them inherited squads that were full of players that either werent good enough or players that suited the previous manager.On topic, we haven't dropped any standards. This is standard ManUtd policy where they give time for manager.
Van Gaal won 3 out of first 10 PL games and we played against only 2 strong teams. Then we were destroyed by MK dons. He should have been sacked but we didn't drop the standards. We just gave him time.
Jose also went on multiple runs where we didn't many games.
Also doubt board consider his results from last season where he was working with team that ran out of gas.
I feel that the clearout job done this summer has been done well and finally moved on alot of the deadwood that has been there far too long. It leaves Ole with a lot more freedom to build a squad of players that fit the profile of player hes looking for. It reminds me of the slump we had between 2004-2006 when Ferguson was rebuilding the squad and a young Ronaldo and Rooney being trusted to lead the next squad.
