When ten Hag keeps churning out that he’s won the second most trophy’s after City, it would be funny if somebody asks him if the other teams making the effort to finish above eighth might have had something to do with it!

It ain’t workin but that’s the way they do it, they play the shitball at the old OT. That ain’t working that’s the way they do it, money for nothing get your cheques for free.

Mainoo made 2-3 elementary mistakes today, but he's their latest youngster to be ring-fenced from criticism

The same thing happened with Rashford in 2016 and previously after the Community Shield in 2012.

Find a youngster.
Encourage the myth that he's world class.
Elevate him to the click bait pedestal.
Publish his wages.
Crucify him.

Rashford wasn’t playing in 2012; he was 14.
 
They are a poor team and club, Sky and the panel of pundits should all come out and say what they are SHIT
Spent money again in the Summer after fudging PSR, its fucking lovely How nobody questioned it other than Stefan on talksport and he even had to backtrack the questioning and say he didn't mean it like that

I said it too. It was a Ferguson way.

But that’s not even really the issue. The issue is Ferguson was a egomaniacal autocrat.

That becomes a problem when autocrats leave organiz(s)ations because they have established themselves as the repository of all decisions. Their staff is there to support them, not the organiz(s)ation. Ther staff is not entrusted with leadership abilities nor discretion because that rests with the autocrat.

Autocrats do not care about the shape of the organiz(s)ation when they leave. They don’t care about legacy, because if the organiz(s)ation is successful when they leave, they take credit, and when it isn’t, they take comfort in the fact that it’s because they aren’t a part of it. They can’t lose, legacy-wise.

Ferguson touted “complete control” as a key leadership tenet in his speeches and writings for Harvard Business School in fact.

Forget the football — as an ORGANIZ(S)ATION, United was doomed to fail, and still is — not because of the Glazers, though their leveraged buyout has certainly weakened the pillars financially — but because of Ferguson’s use of the club as a vessel to his own ends without a thought to what it looked like after he left.

Great leaders leave organiz(s)actions in better shape than they found them. Fergusons record as a COACH is unquestioned; as a LEADER he is one of the great shams those who study how businesses operate can point to.

And that’s why leaders should always be judged on legacy. True leaders, who care about their people, the organisation and the community should leave it in a better state than when they found it.

And if they don’t, then they haven’t done their job
