A bit more than disappointing. Just poor management again.
If we are going to stick with the young players and hope that in a couple of seasons they will be able to step up then I am OK with that and will not have high expectations for the next few seasons.
However,I doubt the board and Woodward will go with that as I am sure they expect Ole to make the top 4. The Board has six Glazers on it and they know nothing about football and with Woodward are only interested in money--- not the team. This will of course backfire when the team fails to win trophies,football shirt sales etc. slow down and the share price drops. Utd shares are $10 less than they were a year ago.Since Woodward was appointed to the board in 2012 we have won the title once.
Ole has been dropped in the deep end. I never thought that he was a good choice but I hoped I was wrong as he is a true Utd man and with the right backing he might have done a good job. As I have said for a few years now that Utd do not have enough quality players to win the league. Nothing has changed as most of those players are still there.People have ridiculed me for this but I have been proven to be correct. EPL greats like Shearer, Keown and many more have said the same thing for years.
We won't make the top four this season and will be lucky to make 6th. Will be more than happy to proven wrong.
I think this is pretty much right for you guys. It's in ownership and board room that the trouble really lies.
Although, I have some optimism that Ole will get things going for MU. I think the likes of Martial and Rashford will get the needed goals. I just hope injuries go your way. And that defense is fixed (except when you play Norwich).
I know as fans of teams we tend to be either overly optimistic or overly pessimistic but I think MU will be fine and finish 4th this year.
