At the start of the season I compared the Ronaldo signing to the Trevor Francis signing by City in the early 80's. When we were a club who constantly reacted to our neighbours, spend recklessly and most importantly were rotten at the top i.e. Swales. Francis scored 2 on debut at Stoke and City fans had a brief period of hope and optimism. The similarities between United now and City then are uncanny. I remember the frustration at trying to remove Swales and in the general lack of direction in the club. Protests came and went and it took an endless period to remove him. I therefore suspect their demise to continue. Their statement saying they are to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season reminds me of the Coppell, Neal period at City when disaster followed disaster. If they fail to achieve Champions League qualification for next season expect Ronaldo to leave after one year, just as Francis did. Listened to United Stand moaning post Watford match and they pointed out not one young player on bench for them, when they have constantly been preaching about their development of young players. They are a club in total disarray!
