There is no doubting it, Manchester United is one of the most recognisable brands in the world of sports. For 20-something years, they have had unrivalled success in regards to accomplishments. And under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, they always seemed like a stable unit, capable of almost anything.
But now, they are a club in free fall. Since Ferguson left, there has been a legend sized hole in the club, capped off by the sacking of David Moyes this morning.
Rumours are already flying around about who is permanently going to succeed the Scot but if Moyes was inheriting a poisoned chalice last year, then whoever takes over this time around is sure to be facing a tougher challenge.
Looking at the team, there are only 3 players that I would keep. Van Persie, Rooney and Matt are the only quality players in the line up that are likely to be there at the start of next season. And with the new manager being promised upwards of £100m, a lot of rebuilding needs to be done.
People expect a quick fix with a new manager but there is absolutely no way that this is likely to happen. Manchester United are a club in crisis. To get Manchester United back to the peak of their abilities, they need massive investment and £100m is just not enough. 8 of the 11 starting players for Manchester United are not even near good enough. And with no allure of Champions League football next season, it's going to be a tough haul for whoever takes the reins.
So, a couple of questions:
1. Who do you think will (or should) take over from Moyes?
2. Which players will be shown the door at the close season and who is really available for Manchester United to bring in?
3. What is a realistic performance for Manchester United next season?
