If Manchester United are looking for a manager to build a long term project, then there's one particular trait that he must have that's far more important than anything else
Nice article as always Pauly. Here we go again. Heading into another rebuild. Personally, I am not too caught up on who the next manager will be since I do not have a strong preference for either front runners. Pauly, do you think that the downside of this layer-by-layer approach has in some part contributed to not signing players in positions of need because “it will do for now” McFred sometimes work? Mainly talking about the midfield situation.
Even with ignoring the external noise, mistakes will be made. No one is flawless in their approach. Ultimately, it is up to the higher structures of the club to build along with the manager. If the manager is trying to cover up certain positions like Ole did with the midfield situation, then get him a defensive midfielder. Even if the manager wants a centre back or striker as priority. Same goes for the club. If the target is some other position decided by them. The manager should have the power to veto and push for the signing they need. To a limited degree but should at least make the club consider.
Unfortunately, I do not think that the manager appointment will be this mythical person that will single handily change everything. The squad is the determining factor at the end of the day. The club must improve themselves first to reduce any fault that the next manager may have. It is a collaborative effort overall. Sometimes the manager can be wrong in their assessment of what they need. Other times, it can be the club that is wrong. As long as this can be worked out where both parties are going in the same direction. The biggest test for Manchester United will be how they navigate this going forward post Woodward.
Lastly, I am not entirely sure if we will ever get a full picture on all the aspects that went wrong this season for Ole that has caused everything to implode. I am not too convinced to pin everything on CR7 since the form of some of the players did decreased compared to last year. I feel like there is more to it than just CR7, he is a part of the problem no doubt. I wouldn't say all though.
