Wanted: an elite manager with turning water into wine on his CV, a miracle worker who can somehow transform Manchester United as the club's lost decade heads for its nadir.
The water-to-wine quip illustrates how hard a task it is for any manager to try to right the listing United tanker. Ten Hag believes he can but there are widespread doubts he will remain in place beyond a campaign that threatens to implode.
As Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues his structural review of the club, high-ranking executives are being removed.
The mitigation of a season blighted by more than 60 injuries and illnesses, disruption caused by the manager's dispute with Jadon Sancho, and the more serious issues related to Mason Greenwood and Antony are factors the new hierarchy will address.
