The contract Rooney was given by Ed and Moyes for 5.5 years in 2013 set the team back massively. |

Mata, Fellaini, Pogba, Matic, Di Maria, Lukaku, Martial, Shaw all bought for big money at the time, plus all the other smaller buys. The problem is that most have turned out to be not good enough. |

Ideally Fergie leaves behind 4-5 world class players under 28 that can assist the change, rather than almost an entire squad that isn't sustainable due to quality or, more significantly, age. Almost all Fergie's best players were old. That was a warning sign. |

The Glazers in their ignorance just banked on Fergie being there forever and a day, to continue somehow winning top prizes with a few old heads surrounded by one or two top players and others that were mostly mediocre. |

Ffs losing Scholes, Giggs, Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic in the space of 12 months while Rooney, van Persie and Carrick all go past their best. Even Fletch. Is it any wonder it's not as simple as just spending money to buy a whole new dressing room dynamic |

As has been said before, things started declining in the summer of 2009 with the beginning of the value era and a shocking lack of ambition to compete for the best players.
Fergie held it together but his departure and Moyes' arrival sent us off the cliff. United fans pine for Gill over Woodward for some reason but he was just as complicit in the "value" disgrace whilst also bungling other transfers that had great potential (Robben for example) |

The RvP signing a rare exception. Clearly Fergie thought £#%&! the rest of the team, City ain't getting him - I'm going out on a high |
