ManU are in absolute shambles - this is painful for even me, a life long LFC fan and someone supports even Everton, if it's against ManU. I had always been hoping for a fall of the Red Devils, but this is something I am not enjoying. Unlike the pass-time projects of sugar dads, ManU is an institution, like Liverpool.
I think, ManU and their former players deserve this. Since SAF, they have appointed two of the best ever Managers in LVG and Jose Mou - both of them were verbally humiliated by the former ManU players in media, particularly the so called class of '92. I was expecting one of them to be appointed - Giggs, Scholes, Butt or the Nevil Bros .... at least Ole is showing them what it's like on that hot seat. I am enjoying the "silence" of serial trolls like Scholes and Nevil, who had been humiliating every MU Manager since Sir Alex.
The big blunder for MU was to appoint Jou Mou, but bigger blunder was to appoint him and then dictate his terms. Mou has many issues and he is not the saint, but he knows his soccer and he knows how to get result - he did warn ManU by listing MU's 2nd position finish (20+ points behind MCity) as his greatest achievement. At present, MU Board is in dilemma of their Manager - they have sacked two of the best managers ever and now stuck with Ole, who was sacked by Cardiff City, FGS. But, changing Manager won't work here unless they start their project from scratch.
I think, the problem with their owners & board is unrealistic expectations - there won't be a second Sir Alex and the old man left MU at their decline, leaving them in a state like what was 30 years back, when he took over. Since then, MU board has kept high expectations, tried to quick fix things by pouring money, which they had plenty (but not much, going forward like this); it back fired. To my understanding, what MU needs most now is PATIENCE - hire a top class, experienced Manager for long-term, give him time and space, and allow their young team to develop. MU has one record which will never be broken in soccer history - for 56 years & counting, every League/European game, MU has at least one own academy player in playing XI; this is what differentiates MU from ManCity.
I read, Poch could be in line, which I am not sure could be a success. Poch was brilliant in Daniel Levy's budget squad with "limited" expectations and he is a great Manager for such "projects", where you sell your best players, operate in a wage cap and make transfer profits ....... The best man that probably MU could have hired is now at Everton and Mosheri (Usmanov) has hit the jackpot by appointing him for 5 years. Among the rest, I'll seriously think about Rafa, though he might not join Liverpool's bitter rival.
Whoever is the next man - Poch, Allegri, Rogers, Rafa, Tuchel, Ragnik, Howe ..... needs to be given time and a realistic target to build, otherwise they are caught in this vicious cycle for long, long time.
No reason for a Liverpool fan to give up like Man Utd ones have. All you can do is cry over small incidents that only you saw. No Man Utd player or official complained about VVD's goal. Not our fault that you paid £80 million on an average defender, only Man Utd can be stupid enough to do that
