BR0B0TFrom Despair To Where?Silver Fox Noticed that after Saturday Jose has the best winning percentage of any Man Utd manager ever (can't remember the exact figures but he's something like 0.2% ahead of Fergie) Little wonder the fans at OT have still got his back
Good on Jose, bossing the League Cup and Europa League 2 seasons ago then when everyone else was concentrating on the mickey mouse competitions, although I'm not entirly sure he inherited a poor squad sitting in the relegation places.
united had finished 3rd or 4th the preceding 6 seasons before Fergie took over...(I know they were in 21st at that time..Nov)
They finished 11th that season and second the next which makes me think he didn't inherit a poor squad.
The next two seasons were poor, finishing 11th and 13th.
Didn't his first few transfers yield a few lower league and Scottish duds hence the pressure he was under at the time. Then he realised that he had to change approach from his Aberdeen days so started spending bigger money and utilising Utd's youth system.
