I think there needs to be a special coach badge a manager needs before taking the Utd job.

What do you have in mind?

He will need to learn coping mechanisms for working in a toxic environment. Plus he will need to learn to become a manager and DoF rolled into one.
-------------------------
---------------------------------------------

Every club has different culture, you can't replicate this. As for coping with toxic culture, you don't, to survive you remove the source of toxicity using a surgical approach. It's either you or the source (s) of toxicity survives. I so wish Ole named and shamed the players who were responsible for his eventual downfall, we can all speculate and I would bet we would be fairly accurate with educated guesses!

Unless you weed out toxic players no matter who you bring in as manager eventually player power wins. The club, manager, players. It should be in that order.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The contracts some of them have is a big cause of that and will take a few years to sort out, assuming we want to sort it out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, jealousy and greed plays a big part. When you as players are not too fussed about trophies the next best thing is money. Utd throw money around like confetti, we as a club are responsible for setting the wrong tone. Wastefulness, greed breeds the toxic culture we have because we only attract players of a certain kind. Winners go to clubs capable of challenging, not Utd.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the time for wedding them out is past, I would genuinely have a complete clear out, even if it meant no signings and spending our money on paying off contracts, and relaying on a mixture of those that are left and young players. Even tho EtH has spent a lot a money he is still largely dealing with a squad of players who have been here for a while. Any player who is either not good enough or is seen as a problem should just be written off and a complete reset either with or without EtH. Drastic and never going to happen but it’s what I think is needed. Then when this is done we need to implement a strict wage policy with performance related bonus that actually matter.

No, you're right. Complete clearcut has been suggested but laughed off by some here.

It really is a mess, everything in place for high failure rate. All stems from the ownership who are not fussed about footy as long as the club generates money, which despite the mess carries on generating record revenues. The commercial arm is a double edged sword and one of the reasons why the Glazers have lingered and ruined the football operation for so long.

If you have serious owners with football at the heart, this message percolates down to every level. The commercial aspect would take care of itself, in fact with on field success the revenue would have been even more. The commercial arm has succeeded with no fresh investment from the ownership.

Zizou woudlnt touch us with a bargepole, in fact I’m not sure what decent manager would at this moment in time?

This is why I wanted the Qataris to buy the club so we get rid of the owners and start afresh.
