United best signing in the Summer should be a Director of Football/Football Director/Technical Director....whatever the fuck they want to call the role!
As Neville alluded to months ago (after Mourinho got sacked), this has to be a
long-term strategy and rebuild job not quick fixes
from 09:34 - 15:05
Some guys to consider:
- Monchi @ AS Roma (ex-Sevilla)
- Rangnick @ Leipzig
- Luis Campos @ Lille. Former Monaco man and brought through so many players on the cheap and turned a tidy profit: e.g. Fabinho, Bakayoko, Bernardo Silva, Lemar
- I think you tried to get Berta @ Atletico but he decided to stay - revisit the situation
- What about Rebecca Caplehorn @ Spurs? You were so fixated on getting the manager but what of the person who’s discovering Spurs talent on the cheap and negotiating their sales? Plus she knows how to work a budget so no frivolous shit!
- Kevin Thelwell hasn’t done badly @ Wolves too
Or better yet Michael Emenalo? Big man did a lot of good things as Chelsea regardless what some may think. The guy brought in Azpi, Kante, Hazard, Costa, Mata, Fabregras, Pedro. Things didn't work out for him @ Monaco but I can't recall a really expensive (£30m+) bad flop he's had.
Look at what Michael Edwards @ Liverpool has done which is wonders. Sold Solanke (£19m), Ibe (£15m), Coutinho (£142m), Ings (£20m), Sakho (£26m). then managed to bring in VVD, Alisson, Salah to name a few.
This is the missing piece that will get United back to the top
on a long-term and sustainable basis
