The recent splash out on Vidic and Evra - two very good players - show that the Glaziers appear to have faith in Ferguson, and if I was a betting man, he'll probably still be at the helm next season.
I had expected some sort of spectacular crisis after Keane left and they were dumped out of Europe where they would go through a terrible patch domestically, but this hasn't happened, and credit to Ferguson to pick the players up again.
In the general context I still say that they are in decline, although not in the spectacular fashion I had expected (like us when Daglish left), at least, not yet.

Large Empires tend not to disintegrate overnight but gradually go into decline and i think we have been seeing that these last couple of seasons. Like Liverpool of the 90s they will still always be around the place but it wont be too long before the pundits are saying.....Gee how long ago was it that ManU won a major trophy.
This is not end but the beginning of the end
mmm may be playing too much Rome total war at moment

One of the main problems now is that the hairdryer is more like a ferret blowing down a straw, the players have become immune to it.
