And who says Mancini will be at city next season? What if Jose takes over at City? He wins silverware first season round more times than not, so where would that leave your "3 years" theory? Please don't kid yourself that Kenny is a better manager than Jose... You don't get it at all... You are a Liverpool fan, therefore you see things through your biased eyes... You say things like: "all we need to do is this"...etc, and "all we need to buy is this"...etc. But you don't realise that some City, United, Arsenal, and Chelsea fans have the same thoughts...and maybe more of a chance. The fact is that you can sign whoever, but unless the rate of your improvement is higher than the clubs above you- you wont be catching them up... and without CL. football for at least one more season I can't see you improving at a faster rate than anyone currently above you. Put it this way: You need to sign a good four or five players right now just to catch up with Chelsea's current team. But guess what? ....They are going to add even more quality this summer. What you hope to happen is possible, but it sure aint a given...
Omf god dude, you have the nerve to say you knew anything of any of those teams, or that you have watched any of those games. You speak as if you know everything about those ties when I have actually wattched the later ones. This is a simple truth, a lot of those teams were closer to the likes of liverpool then than the likes of Marseille are to barca and the other top earopean teams, United do not fit into that category and they still, while severly underperforming dispatched a very poor europena side. You cannot directly compare the teams either, it is impossible to say how easy a team was 30 years ago in a game you never seen, you are going by the names of the clubs and what they mean to you, nothing, man, you talk lots but all that comes out is sheite. Even the very sport has tougher then especially for the skilled teams as they more often than not got he sheite kicked out of them, which is why I rate Maradona over Messi any day. You are just devaluing that period because you won fk all then, we are doing well now, it is tougher now, hence we are better now than you were then, is what you are saying in lots more words. united of today wouldn't have 1 of those comps Liverpool won as all 11 players would be o hte pitch crying to the ref, football is a nancies game now apart from the rough and tunble CBs the rest are fk women Teams do not dominate as they once did as their staff changes almost every fk year. Even with United having continuity your players were never good enough to dominate nothing to do with the format
