Man United's Downfall: Poor Management or Ferguson?

INEOS Blames Sir Alex Ferguson for Manchester United's Downfall – A New Era or Just Avoiding the Past?

Manchester United's turbulent state has once again sparked controversy, but this time, the finger is being pointed at none other than Sir Alex Ferguson. According to The Mirror, the club’s new co-owners, INEOS, are frustrated with constant references to the club's glorious past and even hold Ferguson partially responsible for the Red Devils' decline.

INEOS vs. Manchester United’s Legacy ⚽

In a shocking turn of events, reports suggest that INEOS wants to erase United’s past successes from discussions within the club. An insider at Old Trafford revealed:

> “INEOS wants absolutely nothing to do with the past. They don’t want to hear how things were done when United were winning 13 Premier League titles.”

Instead of drawing inspiration from one of football’s most dominant eras, the new regime appears to believe that Ferguson’s methods are outdated in the modern game.

Is Sir Alex Ferguson to Blame? 🤔

It is even claimed that some figures within INEOS view Ferguson as a contributor to United's struggles, citing:

His resistance to modern coaching and scouting advancements.

Leaving behind an aging squad without long-term successors.

A lack of structural vision compared to rivals like Manchester City and Liverpool.

The stark contrast in success has left fans questioning whether Ferguson’s legacy is truly to blame—or if the real issue lies elsewhere.

Job Cuts & Structural Overhaul at Old Trafford 🔴

The report also confirms that Manchester United is set to cut another 200 jobs, just seven months after laying off 250 staff members. The biggest concern?

Scouting Department in Crisis: United's 80-strong scouting team will see "swingeing cuts," shifting reliance towards data analytics rather than traditional scouting.

Agent Influence Concerns: This shift raises fears of more influence from favored agents, potentially limiting United’s transfer quality.

The Fan Backlash – “Don’t Erase Our History” 🔥

As expected, fans have taken to social media to slam INEOS' approach:

🗣 "An unknown company blaming the greatest manager ever is insane." – @Wegaxe

🗣 "You don’t erase history. You learn from it!" – @YNWA

🗣 "INEOS are the real problem, not Ferguson." – @Mel

This latest controversy has only deepened divisions between the new ownership and United’s passionate supporters.

What’s Next for Manchester United? 🏟️

As INEOS prepares for a full restructuring, many questions remain unanswered:

1. Will they succeed in revolutionizing United, or are they doomed to repeat past mistakes?

2. Can United return to being a European powerhouse without embracing their past successes?

3. Will the heavy reliance on data-driven scouting backfire?

For now, all eyes are on Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team to see if they can truly transform Manchester United into a modern giant—or if they will continue to alienate the club’s most important asset: its history and fans.
