Building for the future is a huge part of running a football club. Mourinho inheriting Rashford and Martial due to such commitment to long term planning is something very worthwhile. It’s certainly a lot better than LvG inheriting a past it Rooney and RvP tied down to expensive contracts.
Oh no.

Don’t disagree - the club’s a mess, has been for ages and long term, we could end up just throwing cash around like the oil club’s currently do.You’ll remember how castigated I was for questioning United’s academy a couple of years ago and pointing to the huge investment city were putting into theirs. It was a reference to how shite our long term/succession management was. I’m confident city’s investment will pay off sooner rather than later whereas we appear to be a reactive club good at promoting our brand but a bit clueless everywhere else.
That said, I think a manger like mou is right for now just to arrest the decline - but behind him should be a club preparing for the next manager and the one after that. Get the feeling we are only looking at new brand opps though
