So I have seen and heard of the reaction and fallout from United's hammering against Everton yesterday, I feel like I should have my say and since the game have been trying to put it into words, I don't really know where to start....
Whenever a big team puts in the sort of performance United put in yesterday it always makes the headlines and starts some sort of inquest amongst its fans and the media, this feels different. For the last six years the club has been drowning in mediocrity whilst at the same time still manages rake in the profits and revenue, Man United are still one of the richest clubs in the World regardless of what level of Football they play at be it the Champions League or Europa League, and that's obviously perfect for the owners, as long as the tills keep ringing and the Glazers keep creaming off vast amounts of lovely lucre, as long as the owners and other investors pocket £65 million in dividends in three years.
This creates a hiding place, and that is exactly what United have become in the last six years.
For all the mediocrity that has been served up since Sir Alex Ferguson retired the club, financially, has ticked along just fine, and some of the decisions that affect team matter have been appalling, not giving a manager financial backing just months after he signed a new contract with the club, giving a few players who are clearly not of the clubs standard new lucrative long term contracts, giving one player a reported £500k a week to name but a few.
On the pitch its no better, the performance yesterday is just the tip of the iceberg as there are players who lack the right attitude and the fight, there are way too many passengers in the squad and Ole should just rip it up and start a new with hopefully a good amount of financial backing, we need players who have burning desire to play for Man United and will run themselves into the ground to get win and trophies, there are very few of those sort of players at the club right now.
As for the next few games I hope Ole gives a few of the young players a chance, Such as Angel Gomes, James Garner and Mason Greenwood, who has been scoring goals for fun for the U18 and U21 this season.
This Summer is going to be huge for the club, I feel like we are at a crossroads...
