Its time for a change.

I dont think anyone can argue that Veron is a world class player. The problem is that Sir Alex wanted to "europeanize" his team by adding Veron for battle in the Champions league. Veron's style is not suited for the Premier League or the way the core players of Man Utd play. With Veron on the pitch the other players especially the midfielders seem to play restricted. All the great teams have had a free flowing unrestricted way of playing. Sell Veron, get what you can (your fourth striker plus cash ) and unleash the attacking animals that Keane, Giggs, Scholes and Beckham are.
All is not lost yet. As long as we can beat Liverpool and Arsenal next, we are still on the track. But with the current prefered formation, Veron and Blanc playing, players injured or off form, and who is who on the bench, can we make it? I don't think so. 
Do we need to buy players? Yes!!!
Can a new manager helps us? I don't know either. But I think I would take the gamble and with a some new players also.

Does anyone know when Nicky Butt is coming back? Because now there are all these rumours that Keane might not come back until after the Arsenal match. There's not enough steel in our midfield with both of them out, and I think we'd be lucky to get any kind of a result against Arsenal or Liverpool if neither one of them are playing.

you would have been one of the ones wanting Fergie out in the 80's i presume, had you been a fan back then.
What is the problem with 4-5-1, 4-4-1-1?
What role did Cantona play only as one of the 1's. When we won the European Cup what position did Yorke play?
As for Veron, I fecking love watching him. Never seen such a repetoire of passing.
And Racist Pete, well he is a massive.

I've been trying to explain this to them for a long time, but will they listen? Will they feck!
Except for the last pat, but you've obviously taken that the wrong way and too much to heart, so we will have to agree to disagree.
Livvie we have Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
Giggs gave one of the best performances in the role against deportivo away last year. He was fecking electric.

I may believe in the 4-4-1-1 Yet we dont have the creative forward to worked it out. Scholes, Giggs and Veron are not up to it and we ALL know that.
We need a Ronaldinho or a Totti of we want the 4-4-1-1 to work out

Too young...only born a couple of months before the legend took over.

Thanks for digging up the post
Reading it and it's interesting to read some of the points made before. Some points are still valid, for example:
3.Fergie is also paying the price of sticking with that 4-5-1 formation. I somehow think that he tries and tries to justify the price that he paid for veron by playing him every game and hoping that he does well. This is not working.
How true is that. Back to 4-4-2 without Veron and we beat Newcastle and Liverpool. However that's not Fergie's master tactical change. He is just forced to make the change because of injury.
On the other hands, some agrument has proven to be wrong, for example:
2. We need to sell players who do not have the desire(eg: Veron and Gary Neville) and players who just dont have the talent to succeed at this level(Phil Neville)
Reading it now, and you may wonder why someone could say Gary Neville "do not have desire".
