How should United reform itself over the next few years?

[Roboc7]

A thorough review needs to take place similar to the review of the academy but the biggest issue is recruitment. We have appointed the wrong manager twice and seem too uh go up on finding another SAF which isn't going to happen. Our transfer policy is also laughable, too much time and effort spent trying to sign players who won't join.

The Ramos saga summed up everything that is wrong, it was him or no one which effectively meant no one because he was never going to join. The result is we are left having to play blind and McNair is still part of the first team despite being nowhere near good enough, the club isn't going to move forward with that kind of policy but we don't appear to be learning.

- DoF.
- more investment should be spent on the academy especially stadium and recruitment.
- having a consistent footballing brand (why the hell the first team plays so different to the U21s?).Managers will have different approaches but the "identity" should remain.
- broaden up our scouting network.The current network seems very limited in some regions for example Spain and Africa for the youth players and we're relying too much on the likes of Kershaw for youth scouting.
- expanding the affiliation club options.It's always more guaranteed for the loanees to be played at a club that has connection to us.A top-flight Dutch club like what Chelsea did could be a good start, and we need a close-tied Championship club like Hull/PNE in the past as well.
- more aggressive in poaching good talents (not just players but coaches,scouts,... and other positions) from smaller club.We seem to act too much like a nice guy in that regard.

Brilliant.
