Most fans won't care if it's a bit hit and miss, as long as there's some progress and a plan. You can't fix the issues overnight.
Yea, you say that but if you get 24 months in and its not going the way you thought it would, are the fans going to turn on the manager again. At some point, the fans are going to have to grind their teeth and get through it
24 months is a while though, it will very much depend on performances and feel around the club.
I don't believe trophies are really that important at the moment, at least to me.
ETH confirmed.
God help him.
Will they back him like they've said and how long will he rebuild take.
They will back him financially but thats not the issue at United. The issue is that there is far too little joined up thinking and the players have far too much power. The main thing that gives me a shred of hope is that a lot of players who I think are at the core of the toxic dressing room culture are leaving and we are also getting a modern manager without glaring holes in his managerial abilities.
If he can get the remaining players on board and add some quality players in during the summer then I feel we will have a good season next year. Should be fairly nailed on for top 4.
At this point I would just be happy if I can watch us outplay more than 20% of the teams in the league over a season.
