Sounds like there is recognition amongst the hierarchy that the squad isn’t good enough, which is promising at least.

They were decent in getting rid this summer. There is hope it works again next year and that we buy top talent again
Ironically, its this mentality that probably caused him to retain ETH after the FA Cup and invest further in an ETH squad that exacerbated his original point; ultimately leading to a sacking.
Zirkzee aside, I’d say we had a good window.
Yoro
De Ligt
Ugarte (has played and excelled under Amorim)
Mazraoui
Zirkzee.
I reckon thats going to be the split of good vs bad signings given time and an 80% hit rate any club would take. If you look at our departures there isn’t a single player that would make us stronger now. Possibly McTominay as a squad player but many would argue against that suggestion.
He's clearly angry, enough to do something meaningful about it. That makes for a nice change.
But that's not the point, is it? The point is that it was a misconception that just improving the squad would improve things and that EtH could be the one to improve the team. But as it turns out, EtH isn't a Verstappen, to stay in the used metaphor.
I was replying to Raoul not SJR. Raoul said our transfers over the summer have exacerbated SJRs point about the squad and I disagree with that. I think Zirkzee aside we have improved the squad over the summer with 4 good players coming in and plenty of poor players going out.
It will be made known that certain players were left bemused by the owner comments as that is not something that Glazers did publicly. But it will be said after those players leave United. Guaranteed.
Deserves a caption. what did Ferguson say to Jim today.?
