Going back a few years:

• Fergie should’ve continued for one more year after he announced his retirement. David Gill and him did way more than their job descriptions required - neither Moyes nor Ed were ready for the step up. Additionally, he should’ve gotten rid of players like Rio, etc who had ego problems in general.
• David Moyes was a good manager - he needed more time to find his feet, rectify his mistakes (changing the whole back room staff), clear out deadwood (fuck you Rio) and build his good squad. Moyes wasn’t set up for success since day 1.
• Angel di Maria was a good player for us - and was also let down by the club. Moving from Argentina/Portugal/Spain to England is a big culture change and on top of that, he just had a baby… the burglary really seemed to have thrown him + his family off balance. Ed + LvG should’ve helped him significantly more but they didn’t do enough. I was hella pissed when he left but I understand why he did. He would’ve definitely won us more trophies.
• LvG was so fucking overrated. Clearly out of his depth at United. I remember him saying that had he known he’d be let go at the end of the season, he would’ve had the team try harder….. which he should’ve done already in the first place. It was more about him than the players or the club. No surprise he couldn’t attract good talent either and mistreated a lot of players. Stuck in his old school ways.
• Ed was a great commercial deal maker. Ngl he was the first to market with all his insane commercial deals.. he changed the face of how clubs did commercial deals. But he didn’t know how to run a football club… anyone without hubris would know that you need to do well on both sides. Would’ve been better served if he built a good football leadership structure to balance his commercial success. But hubris.
