As said, he was refused Maguire at a lower price than what we paid for him AND he got us to 2nd place. Think about that. It's amazing really. His final season - he switched off and I can understand that. So, fundamentally the Rock of Gibraltar set off a chain of events that led us to the Glazers which led us to Moyes and so on - but the straw that broke the camel's back was this. As anyone who has ever done an HSE course on the Titanic can tell you, disasters are always a consequence of many, many smaller errors. |

We did remarkably well under Fergie circa 2006-2013 because he's a managerial freak and the rot hadn't sst in. Since then, it's been panicky dick-swinging followed by mediocrity acceptance. They are happy as long as we're commercially successful. They'll remain reactive in their actions when they sense that becoming an issue. Footballing ambitions are a mere footnote. Nothing will change as long as they are here. As fans, best we can hope for is the little moments and maybe a manager who will do things 'the right way'. |

Appointing who we did instead - THAT was the real "when it all went wrong" moment, May 2005 being the only serious competitor. |
