Sorry to lower the tone of the thread by actually being serious for a moment...
But - genuine question - how on earth do people think they can possibly get themselves out of this dire mess? (And I know the sensible answer is "who cares, let them rot in it"). They are well and truly fucked.
Eric Ten Weeks when asked about his substitutions at half time said he wanted to sub "all of them". :-) Still makes me laugh typing it.
But if they were to sell the entire squad - which lets face it is what's needed - no new player worth their salt will touch them with a 50ft barge pole. The only players they can attract are half-arsed mercenaries or b-team dross. This season they will struggle to get above mid table. At best.
There seems to be some hidden contractual situation regarding SlabHead, Rashford, DDG, McTomminay, and a couple others.
Like a barrage of managers, and they STILL start.
The ownership, funnily is their last problem.
They need at least 10 years, of effective managerial, player, employee clear-out.
They need to effectively do a Milan. And that's actually okay, because the internal revenue would help them reduce the 10 years to probably 5.
However to do that, everyone involved in the running of the club needs top be sacked.
Every level of management needs re-recruited but, replaced with top level seniors, within football, with the eye for football, and with good professional integrity and conduct.
The board needs re-vamping, and above all else, all players to be effectively banned from having access to them, neutralising player power.
All coaching staff that are there with the exception of ETH needs to be sacked, replaced.
All contractual dinosaurs needs to be cut, contract annulled and players for the right profile need to be transferred. keep player profile at about 35-50 million to minimise loss in case of a negative output.
Contract renewal and duration + pay scheme is the worse in the PL. That needs to be addressed.
Social Media ( duties ), and media output needs to be toned down urgently. Make a direct comparison between Chelsea, Spurs, City and Pool and United. You'd be shocked.
This does not include, and it probably should: Training Facilities, Technical Data on players, Scouting and Scouting Reports to be up to date. Etc, i could co on forever.
There are so many wrong things at that club, it beggars belief. Nothing is impossible, but, patience, and above all else, professionalism needs to be applied, for an extended amount of time, and they clearly are defunct in this chapter.
