Rebuilds don't happen overnight. Their long timelines are understandably frustrating for fans. But the dirty little secret about rebuilds is that the best ones never finish.
A bit disappointed that you did not mention Liverpool's need to clear out the old. I would like to read an analysis of that, from the footballing and financial point of view. Because I think Utd have similar ownership constraints, as well as squad issues to be sorted long term.
reat article as usual. Do you think the rebuilds from Sir Matt Busby's and Sir Alex Ferguson's eras also followed the same mould, what are your insights about those? I remembered SAF did quite a lot of deals with potential young prospects (many didn't go anywhere though), but I wá only a kid when he won 99's Champions League with United so I have no idea about his first ten-something years beyond the stuffs I read here and there on the internet. And of course I only get the gist that Sir Matt Busby had built a great side before the Munich disaster, and he had to build everything from the ground up again after that.
Another question: how do you think the restructuring happening simultaneously at the club, and the current COVID affected transfer market would influence the progress of Ole's rebuild? Would it take longer than 3 years to start getting results?
Good article. Good read.
