How's Mou not backed?
How much money does he needs to make his team play a reasonable football for 4 matches in a row?

Mou has been here 3 years, how much he spent?
Which player he bought that has excelled at United so far? Is it Ed's fault?

Mourinho is ghost of himself. This job is too big for him, he's outdated. Always blaming the players in the press, the weather, the pitch, the money, the ref, the press, everyone is guilt but him.

We won the last EPL 5 season back and we are not even close to touch that trophy again never mind with Mourinho on the elm. Next season we'll be 6 years without the main trophy, and then the next year and the following year. How many excuses we'll come up with to always justify the mess we are in? Many will have to leave with the manager. We need let the deadwood go.

But stop with the bs about money. We spent money, it's was unwise but we spent.

I for one already lowered my expectations so I can be able to watch the games without sleeping.

This is how laughable we've become, successful outside of the pitch but mid table like team on the pitch.

We’ve become a laughing stock. Hundreds of millions wasted. Players on astronomical wages. The club is rotten from top to bottom. We need new owners who have a vision for the future.

{Ed002's Note - What have the owners done wrong?}

Agreed Ed002. As owners go, I think we have it pretty good. They are business people who are prepared to invest in the club and have done so with huge sums of money. I imagine their vision is to win everything they can. Why wouldn't they want to do that? They have made some errors of judgement with their appointment of the last three managers but at least they aren't slave masters or gangsters like owners of other Premier League Clubs.

What new owners do you envisage Blackpool Red? If the Glazers sell, who do you think can and will buy Man Utd?

We needed a vast overhaul of players when Jose arrived, was going to take a number of Windows. We all as well as the club knew exactly what type of manager Jose was before hiring him, we all knew he spends money. Either accept that Jose knows what it takes to get to the top, and it does take spending power unfortunately, and back him at every turn or don’t but if you don’t then he should not be manager. Don’t get the shock that he’s spent money, yes he has and identified we needed 1/ 2 centre backs that we all agreed on so the club needs to say ok Jose. Obvs some signings have not fulfilled what we thought when bought like Bailly and Lindelof so obvs he needs to be allowed to correct that or the club needs to say no this is the direction we are now going in, new manager as Jose is and always has been a chequebook manager.

The owners have employed the last thre mangers all of which have been failures.

{Ed002's Note - The owners don’t pick the nanagers.}

Mancman

These owners have not invested one brass bean in the club and they have not as you put it invested with huge sums of money. It was a leveraged buyout where the money comes from the club not them. Players are bought with money generated by the club, admittedly with their and Woodwards commercial acumen. You “imagine” their vision is to win everything they can, well it would be imaginary as they have never communicated. Take a look at their modus operandi at their US Football team and view their success under the owners model.

Redman, it doesn't matter whether it's their personal money or not. It's fairly earned income and they have authorised its expenditure which they didn't have to do so fair play to them. It make commercial sense for Utd to win things so as business people it would be illogical for them not to want that. Redman, I know you would prefer a dictatorial slavemaster as our owner or perhaps a Russian gangster would suit you, just as long as they were putting in their 'own' dirty cash instead of spending the club's legitimately earned (and taxed) money eh? . Well, no thank you to that as far as I'm concerned.

WRD, since Jose started 3 years ago, inflation on player prices has gone through the roof. The market has changed so I don't blame the owners for waiting to see how it develops before agreeing to spend even greater and more serious sums on individual players. For all they know it's just a bubble. Plus as Ed002 alluded to, their might be the emergance of more player swaps on response to the crazy prices for players.

There are many problems at Man Utd but lack of cash for players is not one of them.
