I don't think I agree. Ferguson had no prior connection to United.
However there is a total lack of football leadership and clear vision at the club these last few years, no clear idea on how they'll transition successfully to a post-Ferguson era. I think the Glazers need to bring in a Director of Football to oversee and overhaul all the areas that United are struggling in at the moment, and that's not just the first team, but transfers, the academy, backroom staff etc. This needs to be done alongside any new managerial appointment. Ideally it should be done now so that the new DoF can manage the succession to Mourinho.
Didn't it take Ferguson about three years to settle in? There was much discontent & many fans who wanted him out. Give Mourinho a chance.
