How long would it take for man utd to drop to villas level? Decades IMO glazers will be long gone before it happens I don't know, we ourselves have shown just how quickly it can go downhill after a couple of years of bad decision making. Our squad value and wages would still have been absolutely different planet scales compared to lower end PL clubs and promoted clubs that year (Bournemouth for example) Things can head south quickly and the bigger you are the harder it is to turn around. Ronaldo saved them so often last season, they could have finished with significantly less points than they did. He's yet another year older and closer to the end of his powers.

Used to love watching them in the Champs League 25 years ago when they played such good football with the class of 92 all on the pitch. But i hate their fans. The arrogance of my colleague at work who feels they are the greatest club ever . And how they can just take our best players if they wanted to. They are an utterly shit club with a massive fanbase. Bit like the football version of Coldplay. No director of football. For good reason. So the Glasers can make financial decisions ahead of footballing ones. Time to pity them. They are punching at their level now. Every time they come up against a team with a plan then they will fall apart. The only question i have is how the **** did they get a draw out of us preseason Yeah like that mug Rio's tweets yesterday. Like the have a god given right to win and how dare another Premier league club in Brentford be beating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they haven't got the big boys on there back, or constraints, but it's not like he explains working for a huge company, they have millions of fans expecting them to perform. The players are showing they are completely uninterested in pleasing the fans, just themselves. The club is actually the epitome of footballers who dont give a **** about anyone but themselves.

It’s the same with any large business, the culture is set from the top and that culture filters down throughout. They may well return a portion of the earnings back into the business but if they are absentee owners and disinterested that culture will poison an organisation, slowly but surely. Nothing will change there until the owners change. A lot of blame has to lie with the glaziers but watching Neville and redknapp yesterday something Neville said interested me when he was on about the stadium etc was that they had £350 million in the bank three years ago and now they are down to £30 million. Is that suggesting that they are now not making the money they used to be? I think Utd are a victim of their own size because they are almost unbuyable with the figures the glaziers would to see the club. Add the near billion in debt and rising its not as appealing as it once was. Side note why does Gary Neville get to use sky sports as his own Utd podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but feel Klopp and co will go for the throat. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have binned them off as a priority. It has 2 impacts. 1) You’ve got the shit out of the team 2) Those that remain know they will be gone too if they don’t start performing. Not only did ETH keep the crap, he let Maguire keep the captaincy. Absolutely shocking decision making and I doubt he’ll recover from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
