OK so I want to test something here...
Firstly please don't jump all over me for this. I'm not saying I want it to happen but it's something I think maybe we all need to think about.
So here we go...
Is it fast approaching a time where we need to rip up the current approach and reset the club? Stop hiring proven managers and bring in someone like Giggs or a young up and coming manager?
I can't believe I'm even suggesting it but I was thinking about this on the way home from work.
Like it or not there's something really wrong at our great club. It's been an issue since Fergie left and it doesn't appear to be going away no matter who we have in charge.
I can see why the board appointed Moyes and LVG. They weren't my favourite choice but I could understand it. And I liked the Jose choice. And yes it's still very early days for Jose and I'm not saying sack him right this minute... But do the club need to reset things and go back to what made them such a great club?
I'm talking youth, exciting football and getting fans up out of their seats.
Jose might be a great manager, he might be entertaining in his own way but he's not the man to bring back the great attacking football. Never was, never will be. And so far he's not even going to be the man to bring back success because there's so many issues with this team right now! To go to Stamford Bridge and lose in that way is appalling. Where was the fight? The pride? The grit to just do anything to get back in the game? And this isn't the first time we've seen that!
Maybe it's fast approaching a point where chasing success needs to be put on to the back burner. To bring back some fun for the fans because finishing outside the top 4 and playing this way is going to lose fans pretty fast.
I for one am not bothered by what we do or don't win anymore. I've seen us win it all and hopefully one day I'll see us win it all again... But I want to be excited to see my team play and I'm not anymore. I haven't been for a long time so this isn't down to Jose and it appears it's not down to LVG either. It's down to not having the players to play an attractive fast paced style. And I guess that's down to bringing in managers who don't play that way...
I didn't watch United vs Fenerbache. I didn't even realise they were playing. I won't watch them tomorrow either... Not because I'm being miserable but because right now and for a long time really they just haven't been good to watch. Sure the odd game here or there but it's not enough.
