Excellence, Not Excuses

Manchester United must get back to being the best of the best. Throughout the 90's, 00's and even the early part of the 10's that's exactly what we were under Fergie. Yes he had David Gill above him who was superb, but the fact remains we were under Glazer ownership from 2005 onwards and won multiple titles, reached multiple UCL finals and clinched domestic cups for fun.

I am sick to death of hearing people blame The Glazers for our current plight. Yes they're just a bunch of Gordon Gekko style leeches, but they have spent big big money on our squad in the last 10 years and sanctioned huge fees for players that the wrong managers have wanted. Nobody can deny that.

Our issue since 2013 is that we've never, ever had the right manager in our dugout. Aston Villa with Emery are proof of that. Even to a lesser extent Tottenham are. The right manager can fix 99% of the problems; you just have to look at how much the Tottenham fans hate Daniel Levy, yet they've appointed this Ange fella and suddenly people are talking about their style of football and not Blofeld.

If we want to be about excellence then we have to pull the plug on the ETH experiment. His signings have been largely poor; more worrying is the fact that 99% of them reek of the Dutch league (even Mount) which just shows how narrow his knowledge of the transfer market is. Signing players who've excelled in the Eredivisie is like hoping you'll meet the woman of your dreams on Plenty Of Fish.com ffs.

If someone like:

Zidane
Emery
De Zerbi
Conte
Ancelotti
Valverde

Took over from ETH tomorrow then I am convinced they'd get better results and performances from the same set of players than ETH is. They'd also sign better players and stamp a style of play onto the team within 6 months. ETH hasn't stamped any style of play onto us in 18 months.

Excellence, not excuses. ETH out.

Ten Hag is the envy of football… no United fan would swap him for any other manager."

Imagine how much better off you'd be if you never got rid of Mourinho Moronic decision and all the "geniuses" on here backed it.

I deleted posts that were threatening me, my family, abusing me, saying nasty personal things and so on.

It's a strange WUM to so openly lie when literally the whole Man UTD board remember that thread, but knock yourself out!

I didn't lie and these apparent quotes from Whodunnit are either fake or me just taking the p*ss last season at how shyite he is. Satire.

Ten Hag out now.
