We don't know how we got to where we are as no one knows enough about the mechanisms of recruitment in current set-up (e.g. were alternative targets identified but Erik ploughed on with his; was Erik unwittingly forced to drive recruitment as well as coaching due to absent structure; have we once again found ourselves being subjected to whims of agencies the club is working with etc.). But after this many signings, Casemiro aside this clearly is Erik's team now. |

Hate how ETH blanked him.
Presume it’s a WW2 issue between the Dutch and the Germans. He was right. A truth-teller when we were all still under the SAF spell. Last minute winners and titles were ours by birthright. Martial. The Scottish Player. Maguire. The spineless spine of our team. All still with us. We owe him a huge apology. |

I think most agreed Ralf wasn’t a great manger even before he joined us but he was the right pick to restructure how we recruit players. Clearly too sensible a road for the club to go down. If as is rumoured Erik insisted no Ralf, then that’s a shame, seeing a we didn’t employ anyone else in that role. |

Also 'abysmal results' and manchester united are something that goes hand in hand long before and long after Ragnick. Put simply he was saying things that ruffled the feathers of the useful idiots like Murtough and got the boot. Can't have people at manchester united talking about revolution, god forbid. |

While he generally said the right things I think his credibility got shot. Not just due to results which the title of being "interim manager" helped cause (i.e. players did not respect him given he was just keeping the seat warm for a few months), but also because he would identify the problems among the squad in press conferences midweek only to put the same players out at the weekend. He more than anyone else after Ferguson had the chance to directly send a message by dropping big names on lots of money, putting in youth players, experiment a bit and not worry about losing his job if the results were poor.
