I understand the sentiment you express, and I am no Tan apologist, but if as you say he is deluded, ask yourself this - is he deluded about the stadium expansion, the expensive players, the new training facilities at Hensol?
As I say I am not picking a pro or anti Tan argument mate, but I don't buy this idea he is deluded, as he has made some very rational, investment and expansion decisions which have had to have had widespread consultation, planning, teamwork - in other words, he has had to take advice.
Obviously none of us actually know the man so what do we know, and you may be right and all the other things I mention just happen to be lucky for us, but there again I don't think that is likely, is it?

He is deluded to think, we could never have been promoted in blue, and is deluded to think our team should be towards the top of the table.

has he actually said either of these things?. not having a go its a serious question. i know he thinks red is lucky, but that isnt the same as we would not have gone up wearing blue.

Personally he wanted to see someone there in the long term and also thinks highly of Scottish managers.
If VT got advice off SAF then there would be no doubt MM will be backed fully.

Reality check from a master for 'Diffs first PL season expectations and how to kick on for the long term. Bodes well. And I reckon the Blue will eventually be back. You'd be a football legend then (Right VT?).

I dont think he is a United manager, I think they should have looked for better.

Looked for better? The 'better' managers always go after 1-3 seasons. Mourinho for example if he was in charge and went on to win the UCL for United he would leave as he does for most of the clubs he done it with.
Ferguson and United want long term stability under a manager which I can understand.
