I think it's entirely accurate, and completely fair, to talk about Manchester United and their current plight in the contex of a "transitional period", as that's exactly what they are currently going through. This transitional period was always going to mean a drop off on the pitch, I don't think anyone legitimately thought this would be a seamless switch and that United would be winning the title this season. However there's only so far the excuse of a transitional period can be allowed to go. united's current struggles, their points tally and their footballing displays can't all be explained away by a simple transitional period, they run deeper than that. Moyes has underperformed. In the same way that Ferguson seemingly was able to take a lesser squad of players and bring more out of them that you thought possible, Moyes doesn't seem capable of getting enough out of his squad to be competitive. Realisitically this United squad should be in in or around the 4th place. They aren't as good as City, or Chelsea, or Arsenal, but there's no reason for them to be so far adrift of Liverpool, Spurs, Everton etc, they have the squad to match those 3 sides.chris85mcfc said:I don't know about anyone else but I'm pretty sick of hearing this word get peddled about to describe United's situation at the moment.
I understand that not only have they got a new manager and a new backroom staff, they have also got a new Chief Exec.
But seriously, how long is this 'transitional' period excuse going to be used to describe their current standing. Us and Chelsea both have new managers, so what exactly is this 'transitional' phase because I'm getting pretty sick of hearing it in every interview that Moyes gives.
IMO if they don't fniish in the top 4 this 'transitional' phase could go on for another few years, I can't see them attracting the players as they will all want to play in the champions league.
