The rags are out of date living in the past and in the neighbouring City is the best run Club in world football who's owner, and management team, have a vision and the resources to put it in place. The rags are run by a former investment banker who advised the Glazier family during their takeover. The management structure is dated with a dependence on agents when identifying players and managers. The owners see it has a cash cow funding their debt and near bankrupt business in the US. Unless there is someone who has the vision and influence to change it then, it will continue to slowly deteriorate. Mourinho was not a unanimous choice. certainly ticket-tout wasn't in favour but his influence is diminishing, for sure there will be knives out for him he doesnt fit the united way. They will struggle to get a replacement and that may prolong his reign but, ultimately it will all end in tears.
