Re: [Merged] - Football talk

For me Ferguson never seems to put out the right team, and it is not down to injuries, I think there is too much player rotation within the squad and nobody seems to gel.

This has been the case since Ferguson threatened to quit, plus another major factor in utd's recent demise from being the top team was the exit of Steve McClaren to Middlesbrough.

I say demise, but they are still a top team, but if they ever do gel and Ferguson stops messing about with rotation, all I can say is watch out, but I am not sure if or when that will happen.

With Ferguson spending all that money, if utd do not have any success this season, I am sure his future in his present position will be in doubt.
Move him upstairs and get Martin O'Neill in to deal with the current squad.

Having said all of the above, after 12 years of success, it was bound to come to an end at some point, so I can't moan really, but with the squad that they have they should be doing better than they are.
