Good article. I think you're pretty much spot on. The biggest thing you pointed out imo is that we can't just sit, wait and hope he brings about a title challenge. It looks further away than ever right now and there's little hope of that improving in the immediate future.
The other problem is that as the years go by, it is absolutely nailed on that Newcastle will become a big threat, making even top 4 a huge challenge. We can't afford to drift based on a strange plan that is based on little more than hope at this stage.

Exactly. A decade ago City was like Newcastle. They made the right decisions in right time and became an European Superpower. Similar with PSG. What our club needs to be aware is that the more you are patient, the more it's difficult to come back. We need to act quick. No point in waiting till Christmas or end of season and see where we are by then. If we have got nothing then, it's the same start from scratch for next season.
We've kept making terrible strategic decisions (about choice of coach and when to sack them) again and again over the last 8 years because the decision making power is in the hands of a bunch of Bristol University graduates whose only area of specialist knowledge is finance. The next few weeks will be a test of whether or not the new positions filled by Murtough and Fletcher are a real departure from Woodward having the ultimate say in the FC.
...that is, I agree with the OP about the big decision. The all important context is who gets to make it.
Let’s face it.
For the next ten years, all the glory that is coming Man United’s way will be from the Women’s team.
And a club like United cannot wait. If we lose the pace these days It's difficult to come back. Take Liverpool for example. They took three decades to really come back to top and challenge.

so did United post Busby. Post fergie we are almost one decade in already.
