Man United ( New Boss, Same Action)

You can hear the cry, but it doesn’t reach the ears it needs. 

It hits a wall. And it’s not from yesterday; it’s been going on, and the situation at Old Trafford is increasingly chaotic. 

The Theatre of Dreams is in disrepair. 

Manchester United is stuck in the past, vegetating on the successes of old glory. 

It dates back to the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson and serves the Glazer family as a paycard. American businessmen have no intention of leaving the club, despite the fans’ growing discontent, or of doing anything about the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the stadium. 

They see the club as something from which money is extracted, a treasure trove that can always be tapped, and not as something to invest in.

They abandoned the original idea of ​​handing over the management of Manchester United to someone else because even though there were no results, it generated income. And they have decided to sell it off piece by piece. 

One of the main problems, if not the primary one, is how to breathe new life into the Theatre of Dreams. 

It was one of the most impressive stadiums, not only in England but in the world. However, the 18 years of rule by the Glazer family have not only led to the alienation of some of the fans and the founding of a new club, but it has also affected not only the results but also the state of Old Trafford. 

As with most island stadiums, there is a welcome sign at the entrance. Whoever passes it and scratches the surface a little – will have something to see.

No matter how much they spend, it’s not enough. 

The richest European clubs are used to spending money everywhere, signing players they don’t need and ‘filling up the warehouse’ with them. Many have suffered because of irresponsible business practices, facing bans for violating financial fair play.

At Old Trafford, they didn’t go beyond the permitted limit. However, they can’t sign the right players, managers, or both. As the owners are leaving Old Trafford at the mercy of the time, it can’t be said that they aren’t investing in players and managers. However, they lack results, and the fans are getting angrier even with the new shareholders, whom they expected a lot.

It was a long time ago, and not so long ago, when Sir Alex Ferguson, the architect of Manchester United’s greatest successes in history, called on fans to “get behind the new manager,” the first one who would come after him and continue to bring at least approximately what Fergie had brought because Manchester had to move on without its icon.

That day, 2013, however, the club did not welcome it prepared in the way that Sir Alex might have done if he had stayed. 

A hole remained. In a great retrospective, we remembered those days and the dark decade that followed. Since then – this is the only data that makes the hair stand on the head of the “Devils” fans – the management has spent over 1.7 billion pounds on reinforcements and has not won a single Premier League title.

In the meantime, the primacy in England has been taken by others, and Manchester has been ruled by another Manchester that has been acting like a jet plane in everything compared to its famous but sunken neighbor for years. 

Since Ferguson left, the club has changed six permanent coaches:

David Moyes

Louis Van Gaal

Jose Mourinho

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Erik Ten Hag

Ruben Amorim has also come to try to act so that he can stay for the long term. 

Incidentally, the club has spent over 50 million pounds on the six coaches above, on the 1.7 billion that it invested in the playing staff. 

They changed, looked for a winning combination, and even tried C. Ronaldo in the end – even the timeless superstar was no help. The outcome was the same.

The former chants at United matches of “attack, attack, attack” were eventually replaced by chants of “sack, sack, sack,” repeated after each bad run by one or another coach until a new one was brought in, and so on.
