Spend all of our money on a time machine and go back to 1986 and hire a young Scottish manager.

1) Increase transfer budget for the academy. If even one 16 year old out of ten purchased makes it it is money well spent.

2) Put a wage structure in place which is heavily incentivised by team performance.

3) Sack whoever is responsible for paying £80m for Maguire, £53m for Fred and £75m for Lukaku.

4) Reappoint LvG but as DOF with mandate to prepare Solskjaer as his successor.

4) Transfer list any player entering last 2 years of contract if they haven't agreed to an extenstion if offered.

5) Pay for an independent audit of the medical department and rectify deficiencies.

6) Make each member of the scouting staff reinterview for their jobs.

7) Refuse to pay agent fees except those instructed by the club. Players should be paying agents who work for them.

Or you could just bin Ole & get Allegri in

Pretty sure that decision was out of the hands of anyone likely to be reading this.

Pretty sure most of the suggestions are how things could have been different. And yes I know what the post asked but I was just joining in for the fun of it.

So never sign anyone then?

Even the dumbest footballers must realise if a club has to fork out millions to their agent then that is money that the footballer is potentially leaving on the table.

If a football club comes calling for your services it has nothing to do with an agent's abilities.

They're the estate agents of the footballing world but for some ludicrous reason buying clubs have tolerated paying them.

establishment of a cap on agents’ commissions (10% of the transfer fee for agents of releasing clubs, 3% of the player’s remuneration for player agents and 3% of the player’s remuneration for agents of engaging clubs);

Do you really think you’ll be able to say no to the agents fee?😂

Pretty naive and if you did that as a club, make sure you have darn good academy players because the bus players won’t be signing for you

😂😂

A bit too simplistic mate

Just keep yourself busy with managing the players and leave the fees etc to those who excel at that

If I was asked to manager United, I’d look at the team’s fitness levels and diet. When Lukaku first trained with Inter, they questioned about the fitness of the player?

I’d like to know why the players are so slow and lethargic. Secondly, I would look for a natural finisher at the academy to see if I could promote any of them. I wouldn’t play Martial or Rashford as a natural goal scorers. Neither are them one.

I would rearrange the formation to sit McTominay ahead Of the defense in a 4-1-3-2 with Pogba just ahead of him
All McTominay has to do is protect the back four.

I’d drop Fred to reserves and get the an Academy player to replace him

Finally, I’d assign my penalty taker as Mata as he would be on my team

That’s my view

How will you prove it?

posted on 8/10/19

I'd tell Ed we want a title or Champs league within 3 years or he is out.

I'd tell all managers / head coaches we need to come up with a consistent stlye of play / tactic across all age groups

I'd raid Dortmund, Southampton, Porto, Lisbon and Ajax for their talent spotters, and have monthly meetings re their findings, which the manager and Judge would attend.

I'd make all new contracts heavily incentivised performance wise.

Appoint a member of the supporters trust to the board, who would then meet regularly with supporters re concerns/ ideas / suggestions
