I don't agree that Fergie is doing rubbish, unbeaten in the premier league and top of it as well, you don't become a bad manager over night.
It is upto the manager to build and to some degree buy the players for his team, if they are not going to gel it is up to him to identify and explore other avenues by using his extended squad.
I do agree that players have to perform and take accountability for a bad personal performance. Too many times manager's take the flack for when a player does not perform, players also know this and can at times get away with murder.
I have always said that when I go to watch the Arsenal, the performance is everything and winning the bonus. I am now involved in a project helping to maximise and enhance the matchday experience for our fans, it is at the moment not so good and we are in the process of re-building a team of staff to correct this. I want supporters to leave our stadium after a match with the feeling of having had a great few hours of entertainment and receiving value for money no matter what the score is.
