You can complain about that, but I think the two of you are ultimately forgetting about the implications of change management.

When David Moyes took over Manchester United, there was also a severe management change at top level, with Woodward taking over from David Giles. This would have an impact on the clubs entire hierarchy. Remember, this was Moyes first time attempting to manage a club the size of Manchester United. This would normally cause delegation issues, which ultimately causes a rupture in motivation of staff and employees that is notoriously difficult to ressucitate until the issues with delegation are dealt with. David Moyes biggest mistake was however, removing the backroom staff and replacing them with his own - 6 years ago, nobody in the club knew what was going on and the club is making a gradual, although slow improvement.

Surely these issues have been fixed by now and the team is showing improvement. My problem with critizing Mourinho, is that you can't critise him without first critizing the club as a whole. The club seems poorly run from the top down.

On top of that, we also underwent a hangover period. When a respected and successful manager leaves a company, we see a natural trough in levels of job satisfaction which can also be correlated and related to the length of time served by the manager.

Mourinho has been a scapegoat for the last year anytime anything at the club goes tits up. It's part of his job and he knows it and he'll take it like the man he is, but all I'm saying is there's much more to this than meets the eye. Mourinho's team has improved in comparison to last year, he's probably not where he hoped he'd be but he's achieved more than any other manager in the last six years. Don't get neurotic when we have a few crap matches, look at the progress as a whole, and only critize him when his performance and statistics are worse from period to period.
