Even at the height of his powers he was never a utd manager and there were obvious warning signs in recent years that he was losing that spark. The whole Chelsea meltdown should have been enough for us to steer clear of him.

City hardly needed to be 'insanely good' to win it, Robb. Just 'very good', or standard 'title-winning-good' would have sufficed, because no-one else was much use.
You only managed 81 points, despite your early European exit. That's hardly ever going to win you a league title nowadays. (Leicester was a freak occurrence when all the usual suspects were rebuilding or just plain crap. Bit like when Mourinho won it with Chelsea, come to think of it.)
On his contract, didn't he already have a third year on it? I've given you reasons I think it was a terrible decision to extend it, how did doing that seem like a good idea?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So 2 teams in recent years have won it with that points total?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Define 'recent'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I could be wrong but I think only twice this millennium has 81 points or less won the league.

Its easy with hindsight saying we shouldnt have appointed Jose, but to qualify that opinion you have to come up with a suitable alternative candidate and predict how they would have done over 3 seasons as you expect Ed to have done with Jose.
------------
So what you're saying is there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our club and other successful clubs, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.

Then it's once. I make it 3 in 18 full seasons this century.
That's one in six, which really isn't a very great probability when you rarely have more than 3 or 4 likely candidates at the start of the season.

He was the best available. Was else could Ed do?
In fact some idiot did bet on it despite the fact we were not in the title race.
Ultimately Jose got us into the CL every full season he was at the club so in the very minimum of senses he did what the club needed done as we all know that getting CL football is the minimum requirement for the club. LVg couldnt do that so was rightly sacked

How does Giggs qualify as a United type manager. Using that logic any of ex greats qualify.
Ole is in a no lose situation and living his dream.

I answered this question before Jose joined and a couple of games after the first team started when we were on a winning run.
Jose is the antithesis of what utd represent and he will never be on the same level as pep again

Very rarely happens like that though. Psychologically when you’re not in a title race you don’t have the same intensity as the season draws to a close. Happens all the time. We did have an FA cup run and went to Wembley and beat Spurs and were the better team in the final but sadly got beaten
