This man WILL take us forward

Depends what you mean by turn it around. 3 years to have improved enough to compete for titles etc is probably what they mean.

Not 3 years of poor performances and lower league positions before he's able to start making visible improvements. People need something to buy into that means he'll have to have started turning it around quicker than 3 years.

Managers get about half a season and a transfer window now. If the team is underperforming but it's not disastrous they might get another window or even end of season. If form is disastrous thats all they get. Anyone with any interest in football knows how it is and expects that to be the case now.

In our case for RW and now GM form has been disastrous so inevitably one went and the other is been asked serious questions

The transfer business that Liverpool have done under Klopp is unbelievable. Not only just about every major signing coming off but getting big bucks for average players he offloaded. £25m for Rhian Brewster and £30m for Benteke. All of this underpinned by the absurd £142m for Coutinho.

You contrast that with the litany of mad, bad and dangerous to know signings made by Man Utd over the same period. Money just been pissed away on nothing.

I see Man Utd have just appointed a new coach. Reading the views of some experts today, they reckon it'll take him three seasons to turn things around. Had to chuckle to myself. Three months here, and most of you lot would be sending him down the road.

If Ten Hag doesn't turn things around much faster than that, he won't last close to 3 years in the job. In fact, Man Utd haven't held a manager in post for three full years since Ferguson retired.

Football is not a sport for long term appointments anymore.

Man Utd will be changing Manager every year then for the next 5 years Alias.

This is a job that will take 4 windows minimum. The team needs major surgery. That won’t happen in 1 year, 2 is pushing it 3 is just possible but only possible not probable.
Man City & Liverpool are so far ahead of the game right now and will be very strong for some time to come.
Even Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal are ahead of Man U at present.
 
If they don’t give this guy serious time to build a squad that can compete then they are in cloud cuckoo land.

Anyway no skin off me I have no love for Man U

And, like most football problems, it boils down to money. City and Liverpool have been ploughing money in, whilst the Glazers have been taking money out!
