Here is my opinion for what its worth. SAF should only retire when he says he's had enough until then we should back him 100% I know hes made some strange decisions like playing chiquarito with his great speed and running into space behind defence against rangers when a blind man on a galloping horse could see there would be no space at all. then starts with owen whos lost his pace against sunderland where there was all the space in the world . The thing is we have the same personel at the back and in midfield as last year and we are lacking in team work at the back .SAF is alot older now and cannot cover every aspect as he used to,He needs a clever tactical assistant manager and I dont think Mike phelan fits that role . I would bring Carlos Quiroz back he knows the game and knows uniteds style and can shape the players into a tactically sound unit while SAF can do what he does best like demand 100% from his players in terms of on the pitch and off it. We also need to buy some top quality midfielders id like to see a player who does not let anything go past him and a player who can orchestrate clever attacking moves. Its my opinion that J.Evans and J.Oshea are simply not good enough when either Rio or Nemanja Vidic are not playing . Carrick is ordinary and too much goes by him and Fletcher seems to look better than he actually is because the rest around him are playing badly. The Rooney saga if he has fallen out with SAF and requested a transfer then sell him for as much as we can get ,If not lets get him in the team and support him. I for one do not want any player at OT no matter how good if he wants to be elsewhere. We definately need a shake up but we have most of the ingredients of a great side. Think of it this way if SAF retired along with Paul Scholes ,Edwin Van Der and rooney left we would be left with an uphill struggle. The only manager that can possibly keep united where they are and improve is Jose and he will be at Real Madrid for at least one more season.
