It's what is behind Ole that is so pleasing, he'll just be replaced by another yes man at the end of the season
This is just it, they’re all looking round trying to find someone to blame. Ole has had so much leeway due to his smiling & scoring that goal.
They blamed the Glazers. But after they spent another £100+ million on established World stars, paying them astronomical money.
Non of them want to look at the real problem, Ferguson.
He’s still there like a rotting corpse under the floorboards, stinking the place out and making sure everything is done in a way he approves of.
They don’t want to face the fact, that maybe he wasn’t that great, that what he achieved was largely down to almost zero legitimate competition for the vast majority of his tenure.
For the first 15 years of his time there, their budget dwarfed everyone’s, they could literally bully any team. Teams like Norwich & Newcastle managed by the like of Keegan & Mike Walker, or Villa & Brian Little or whoever.
Then along came Wenger, from Grampus 8, built a nice side who pissed on Ferguson’s chips. But again, that didn’t last very long.
Chelsea & Mourinho pummelled them.
They don’t want to think that they were the golden egg of the league and perhaps what all other fans were saying was maybe a little true.. They got treated differently.
Not one pundit, not one ex player has questioned why Ferguson is still there. They’ll even tell you that he’s the reason Ronaldo didn’t join City…
When in reality he didn’t join City because A, we didn’t actually want to pay anything for him & B, we wanted to pay half what he earns now.
Some United fans may even tell you they need more ‘football people’ in the hierarchy. Who do they think is preventing that? You can tell he’s still pulling the strings, who else but a grizzled 70 year old would keep trotting out all the d cliches that we hear.
While he lurks, nothing will change.
