It's been very disappointing start to the season and there is a lot of emotion about but how about we just look at facts that cannot be argued with.

1. We appointed a Manager who has never won a trophy and has no European experience.
2. The backroostaff knew the players, their strengths, weaknesses, foibles, how they prepad and so on, but were all moved on.
3. We have 2 coaches wi no experience at all and a backroostaff that have never won a trophy (as a back room team)
4. Several of our 1st team players are over 30.
5. Our transfer dealings in the Summer were amateurish.
6. We paid £4M more for Fellaini than we needed to have done.
7. Servicing debt has cost us hundreds of millions of pounds.
8. This is our worst start in 24 years.

I think they are facts, now onto a few that are more my opinion but certainly have some evidence to support them.

1. Cleverley is 24 and Anderson is 25. They have had more than enough opportunities to nail down a 1st team place and have been unable to.
2. Buttner is not good enough for United. Nor is Young.
3. Age has caught up with Rio who has befall over the place this year.
4. Nani is poor when played on the left but has had some good games when played on the right.
5. Moyes alleged training regime is clearly not as good as we were told as Fellaini is finding the training at United a challenge.
6. RVP looks pre-occupied and a little unhappy.
7. jones and Smalling are yet to nail down a firm position or place.
7. Despite being 1 of the richest clubs in the world, we appear unable to complete in the trans market.

So what to do? Well, I think DM needs to decide on his best team and pick it. Rio needs to be back up now, Zaha needs to at least get on the subs bench, Fellaini needs to be told to pick his game up and the whole team needs to step up the tempo. We need to but in January but I am not convinced we will.

Why don't we get Rene back? It would look like desperation and it probably would be, but he has a great tactical mind and he knows how to coach very good players, let alone the ones who aren't so good. Essential in the European games. Letting all the previous staff go suggested insecurity rather than confidence.

I agree with all your points! But we will not be able to step up the tempo with what we have. This IMO was criminal. The transfer season was a disaster and on second thoughts Woodpecker and Moyes are equally responsible.

Too many excuses coming up! People ridicule Jose and I may agree with some of that, but onequestion, Do you think he would have put up or (assessed) the present squad we have without adding players? Would he have been ok with the penny pinching ways of the Glazer? He would have spoken up, that's for sure.

Deeps.

No point buying in jan wait till summer and really buy top quality, that's if any top players would join a mid table outfit we are in trouble I've been kind saying we will struggle to make top 4 seems we will struggle to make top 8

Jose would not have been happy with the penny pinching glazers that's why they would not have given him the job,
