Manchester fell well behind the elite clubs in terms of non playing personnel and infrastructure towards the end of the SAF era. And have been burning through manager after manager as a result. 

 

Ashworth was brought in to properly fix this, but he knew Amorim was a dud and the Ineos suits didn't want to be challenged so binned him.

Well he wanted Southgate...

 

Man U as a club is just a poisoned chalice right now. Regardless of the manager.

 

If anyone is a dud it's Ashworth.

This. SAF won the title with a team that had no business doing so.

We have been saying since then that they have average and past it players. People like Froggy keep saying they don’t, even defending Bruno when he’s just not consistent enough.

 

I said when SAF left that they would go at least 10 years without winning a title, and they have done. Right now you’d say they probably won’t win another for at least another 10 years.

There is nothing to suggest that they are about to turn a corner.

Can’t find or keep a decent manager. Can’t find the right players, can’t find someone to do the DOF role correctly with the patience that is required.

 

They will build their new mega stadium to sell tickets to their customers, but aside from that, I don’t think anything about them will improve to a level that they would want to be at.

He didn’t. He wanted a prem based manager, because they likely could hit ground running. And not Amorim, because of more time needed to see if squad would fit without needing massive changes (to accommodate he’s rigid 3-4-3).

Even if it is a poisoned chalice, it’s interesting to discuss why
 

I presume the academy is still in good shape (?). Sounds like the day-to-day operations have been a bit of a mess. The stadium needs upgrading (at least), the recruitment seems very patchy, there does seem to be a lack of football leadership on the face of it. All fixable given they still generate a fuckton of money, and that always tells in the end.
