I can think of one VERY good reason:

We sack ANOTHER manager after only 7 days of being in charge. Our club would be a compelte laughing stock. Could you ever imagine any other manager taking charge after we had sacked our previous manager after 7 days?

We won under Mourinho/Ancelotti/RDM without basically any help from the academy. The problem is that our transfers have been awful and our policy for them have been terrible. We have chased players that don't fit into the system bjust because they are big names or are exciting or whatever. We are spending massive amounts of money to buy players that are highly skilled with no idea how to fit them into the squad. We've spent 80M pounds in the last 2 seasons on 3 offensively-minded #10 players. Why do we need three different players who play the same position? And then leaving the centre of the midfield and our depth at striker completely bare. How can you go into the season with 1 striker even if he were in great form (which he certainly never was). We have a board and owner that's so obsessed with buying skilled offenasive players , that that's basically the only thing we ever look for-even in defenders. We don't have a team, we have a collection of players.

Cant agree more. We have 23 players, but half of them is missing something vital to our team.

Rambo has energy but lacks touch, Mikel has strenght but lacks pace and stamina, Mazacar has creatuvity, but lacks balance, finishing and game-changing decisions, we have no striker,...

Our DM should be both fast and skilled in defending, but we have to play with two DMs to do that (Rambo and Mikel). And there is no space for a creative CM in double pivot. We should play with wingers and some strenght and crossing in middle to powerful striker.

Personaly, despite how great Oscar signing was, he is not the kind of player we needed (CM or winger).

Board should stop looking after talented young players, but after players we NEED. With long term manager with full support and trust, we would have much better team now.

Does it have to be anyone in particular or just a manager with a contract that says he can't be sacked for 5 years?

Every time this piece of shit is asked about chances that Torres has missed, he answers by saying the entire squad missed chances. Well here you are, when you don't address an issue like your main striker playing like shit, things are going to go wrong.

And the famous 'We will improve' quote again. Hopefully not for long.
