There is the consideration at Manchester United that the international break in less than a fortnightโs time would allow any NEW head coach the chance to bed in better than now. #MUFC [@TheAthleticFC]
Ferguson is the reason EVERY Manchester United manager fails.
And I'll prove it.
1. HE PICKED MOYES OVER THE BEST
In 2013, Pep Guardiola was AVAILABLE. He wanted United.
Ancelotti was available. Mourinho was available.
Ferguson picked David Moyes. Why? Because he was Scottish, "old school" and a nice lad.
He picked sentiment over excellence. That one decision set United back 10 years.
2. HE LEFT A TEAM OF PENSIONERS
Look at what he left behind in 2013:
Vidic 32, Ferdinand 34, Evra 32, Carrick 32, Giggs 39, Scholes 38, Van Persie 30.
No youth team ready.
No next generation.
The academy was empty.
He left a squad that needed a TOTAL rebuild, but told everyone "the club is in good hands".
3. HE LEFT ZERO MASTER PLAN
Wenger left Arsenal with a philosophy.
Cruyff left Barca with La Masia.
Pep left City with a structure.
Ferguson left NOTHING.
No Director of Football
No scouting model
No playing style
No youth blueprint
So every manager came and had to invent his own plan from scratch.
Of course they all failed!
LOOK AT THE BODY COUNT:
โ David Moyes - Failed
โ Louis Van Gaal - Failed
โ Jose Mourinho - Failed
โ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Failed
โ Ralf Rangnick - Failed
โ Erik ten Hag - Failed
โ Ruben Amorim - Failed
โ Michael Carrick - Failing now
If Ferguson had left a master plan, at least ONE of these 8 managers would have succeeded by following it.
But there was no plan to follow.
So they ALL failed.
Ferguson won 13 titles, but he built an empire around himself, not a club that could survive him.
Until United burns the Ferguson blueprint that never existed, they will keep failing.
