People underestimate how much of an impact Gill leaving the club had on us. In some ways he really was the perfect chairman.

It’s not helpful to always compare current managers to SAF

It's not helpful to take random quotes from current managers and use them against him.

We really need to just stop mentioning Fergie fullstop tbf. I don't think it does anyone any good.

Even comparing Fergie's first 5/6 years and him almost being sacked isn't helpful. Football has massively changed since the 80's. Football manager at elite clubs mainly only get 5/6 years if they are successful these days. That's just how it is.

It’s not helpful to in anyway shape or form compare ETH to SAF, we have the manager we deserve for being outdone by City and Pool for Pep and Klopp.

Of course it's helpful, it shows how even a Fergie team would have been affected by the same injuries and player problems ETH has to put up with.
And how much better if he had a David Gill equivalent.
I bet people saying it's not helpful think ETH should go..

Not quite there yet with him being sacked however in two weeks time I reckon many will be.

Which has nothing to do with your comparisons here so again, not helpful.

If David Gill had gone five years earlier would things have been just as smooth?

Very difficult to say but there is an argument deviation from football centric focus to just milking the cash cow started as soon as the Glazers took charge, maybe both SAF and Gill in particular had enough and wanted to part company.

Both are held in high esteem, both have remained silent in the direction the football is heading, which I find bizarre.

It's difficult to compare SAF's era with Eth's unless we simulate the same internal and external forces both managers were/are under. What Eth is experiencing is unique, in fact no team in the leading world leagues has such incompetence running the football operation. You can't therefore expect a football manager to deliver results consistently. Despite the obstacles Eth is a win away from registering the best win ratio for a Manchester United manager in our history!

He’s actually a loss away to Fulham from being the first United manager to lose 8 out the first 15 games since 1907

He's actually close to having the best win ratio of any United manager. Something to think about.

A win away from having the best overall win ratio during his tenure! Fine margins.

A swallow does not make a summer. We are going through a bad run of results, the team is missing Martinez and Shaw pretty badly and having to contend with the loss of Casemiro's form and disappearance of Sancho's services. We have so many others who are failing the team that you can't but feel sorry for Eth. This is nothing new, this group is very good at letting the club down.

Oh really, another who is offended by the truth as it does not satisfy an agenda. Funny that. 🙄

Rio Fernandez and Mike Smalling would have taken some replacing.
