Great post Jalisco. Its silly to think that even the biggest Jose fans didn't recognise his past blowouts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If was recognizing them that led us to believe it was a bad appointment.

Glad you understand this now. It has only taken two days.

Well done in the end though, dude.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Iv never denied his faults. I just think his ability to win trophies for us outweighed his potential 3rd season break down.

Remember we'd already passed on one opportunity to bring Mourinho to the club,

yes and 1 (SBC) of the 2 (SBC & SAF) footballing directors at the club said that he wouldn't want Jose anywhere near our club at that time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a shame that they only act in an advisory capacity, that they have zero executive influence, and that the rest of the board don't appear to be very interested in what they have to say.

No, but we have already established that that would have been forgiven (by more than care to admit it) had he won the title or champs league, which Ed believed he could.

A league cup and a Europey. He got nowhere near the leage or the CL, so it didn't outweigh the meltdown.

Had he have stayed in charge we would have not had a chance of getting CL football next year.

That's why ed should never again be involved in anymore football decisions at the club when you consider what happened with lvg and how his style if football was recieved by the fans

Well it did for Ed as he employed the guy and then backed him to 2 trophy wins, 2nd place finish and an FA Cup final.

Jose was a success in his first 2 seasons and Ole has been an inspired appointment. So that's 2 good appointments and 2 bad, 1 of which was heavily influenced by SAF.

Jose's remit according to his advocates on this forum was the league and the.cl so he was a failure

Oh come on, whilst he was probably our best bet (of the candidates available at the time)at winning a title or champs league, realistically it was unlikely given the strength of City, Spurs, Liverpool. Real, Juve and PSG.

Oh come on my bolx

The narrative from the Jose clowns on this forum was that the payoff for his style of football was either the pl or the cl or both

He failed

He's gone


Good riddance

Dibble.
You summarised my position wrongly earlier. My words didn't need an explanation or condensing, they already said what I thought accurately.
Jose was a success you say in the first two seasons. It depends what you mean by success, he certainly did not succeed in my eyes, or many other fans eyes. He did win two trophies, but he spent a lot, not all of it well, and he played a style of football that would eventually have lead to a lot of empty seats.
Success is not always measured by trophies, there are other more ephemeral, but more important to some, measurements.
As I said, pleasure and excitement.
I have a French son in law who watches football (ligue 1) he said after watching United a few times
"When people go to watch Manchester United they go to see a spectacle" spectacle is used instead of show here. He was right, and we weren't getting it, and neither are you apparently.

Yes, but that doesn't make Ed an idiot for seeing if No6se could deliver one of those titles.

The end result was why Ed got it wrong. Which is the point of your OP. Jose didn't even fulfil your own criteria for success. He did fulfil his meltdown which is why Ed got it wrong.

Needs to go. A glazer yes man is not what we need.

52 you said you were happy with the trophies wins despite the style of football and would have been even happier had we won a league title or champs league.

This is clearly the position Ed took when deciding to appoint Jose.

posted on 2/2/19

Indeed Baz.

Ed should not be making football decisions.

His idiocy is ignoring the obvious warning signs with Jose

His idiocy is ignoring or indeed not knowing what utd fans want or shamefully not knowing what the club is all about

His idiocy is making an appointment like Jose after seeing first hand how lvgs football was received


Also his football idiocy isn't just confined to the Jose appointment

Ed didn’t KNOW Jose would breakdown. He did however know he’d win us trophies.

If you genuinely think Ed got it wrong then what could he have done instead to have got it right .

Was he wrong to appoint Ole?

Would he have been right if he’d appointed Allegri instead of Jose and he gone on to win a UEFA cup, league cup and a 2nd place finish to a great City side?

Ed didn’t KNOW Jose would breakdown.

....

I did which is why I wouldn't have hired him. That and his unwatchable brand of anti football.

It’s no good saying he shouldn’t have appointed Jose without offering a realistic alternative candidate that would have been more successful than Jose was with us.
