Look I’m a City fan, but even I can see the media has gone over the top today. The managers United have had should have achieved more but it seems the system is broken.

I tend to agree with Goldbridge in thinking what comes after Ten Hag?

    He’s not a bad manager. I just don’t think he was ready for the United move. The job is a poison chalice. But you can only blame that so much. He also has his share of the blame for how bad United are doing.

    He’s made those signings, they’ve all been pretty bad. He’s spent a fortune. He doesn’t seem to have been able to implement his philosophy. Some of his signings I really don’t understand (mount). A lot of the problems they are having are down to him.

    But sacking him is not the answer. Because if not him, who? They sack him, it will be the same old shit in a year. They need a full rebuild, with a proper structure. Scouts. competent DoF and probably to change the philosophy of their signings. Whoever is in charge will need at least a couple of years.

      A lot of the problems seem to be behind the scenes. Unless they are fixed, United will keep running into the same issues. I think the priority will be to get rid of the problem players and in the meantime rebuild the backroom staff from the Director of Football down to the ground staff, and you know… not throw your staff under the bus. Have good personalities and instil a culture that befits the club. Fan engagement need to be improved, as long as they feel involved and can see that the club is going in the right direction they will accept not winning cups and titles for a while.
