It's a good article with valid points. United were lucky to beat City today - 3-0 up against 10 men and a final score of 3-2? Can imagine previous United sides under Ferguson letting it slip that badly? Fact is the current United side is in transition, with a lot second rate players in the side. In the past United would have sorted the problem by buying in quality, but now they cannot compete with the likes of Chelski and City... perhaps even Spurs and 'Pool. I predict a long slow decline for United.
Bit touchy aren't you? It's the nature of any great club that after a period of dominance they go into decline. Happened with Wolves after the 50's, ManU after the 60's, Leeds after the 70's, Liverpool after the 80's. Kudos to Fergie for keeping ManU at the top for so long - but its the nature of the game for teams to go into decline eventually. I mean, listen to you: "UTD have been in decline for years, thats why we keep winning" You sound like a Liverpool fan from 1995! LOL
have you seen the table. Cant compete with Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool We've been in decline a while now. since the late 1990s. Not gone too badly. Yes we got nervy after they scored their first and made in more difficult than in needed to be, but your looking too deep into it.
I meant you can't compete FINANCIALLY with City, Chelsea... or even Spurs/Liverpool. You used to be able to buy anyone you like. Not anymore. And you've missed the point I made complete - at no point have I said that you were in decline in the 90's, on even the early part of this century - quite the opposite. What I am suggesting is that the inevitable decline has started and will continue. Lots of evidence to suggest that.
Like the £50M+ spent in the summer, yes we cant compete, we shall all have to become city fans now, as they have all the money (no FA Cup) but all the money. You cant wum, you fail, go back to Chavsville will you
Wasn't a WU, just a point of view you disagree with. Nice see that MU fans remain as blinkered as ever
It'll be the same type of decline as Liverpool had. Sure, you''ll still be in with a shout for the domestic cups, maybe even the Europa League... but the PL and EC? Probably not in your lifetime
I am still seeing United challenging for the premiership this year. So when will this ending of any title challenge happen according to you? next year, next decade, next century? To reach the level of the demise of the scousers will take United probably another century !!
