That's the number of years or two most successful clubs have gone in recent(ish) times without winning the title. If anyone had told United fans in 67/68 they'd go 25 years before landing another title, or Liverpool fans in 90 they'd have to wait for their next one around the time of the 100th anniversary of WWI, they'd never have believed it. To a lesser extent we have Arsenal's Invincibles being their last title, and they too would not have entertained the idea that they'd have 7 barrens years after that magnificet achievement. So, I reckon once Fergie leaves we will see a United fallow period, and probably a re-emerging Liverpool or money bags Man City to take over as the dominant club. This has happened in history time and again, but will it be repeated?
United will continue to be successful, and will share honours with Chelsea. You'll see a resurgence for Arsenal and particularly Liveprool (hopefull? )I think. Chelsea nd City will suffer from the fair play rules in a coulpe of years and will decine. But then what do I know?
ive met dalglish, nice bloke but i was never impressed with his management style, after his time out i dont think he has changed i know lfc fans point to evans/suness for the downward spiral but imo dalglish kicked it off , same at blackburn although got title but rtheystruggled since personally think dalglish will put lfc back
Dalglish's last successful year at LFC was marked by some odd signings - David Speedie being the most noticeably odd one. On United, I think they will really struggle to fill Fergies boots when he eventually leaves. His track record prior to the current Yank regime allowed him to retain his autonomy and power, but any new guy will not command the same authority, or will have experienced being in such a position because most managers these days are at clubs where they have someone else in charge of buying players. Fergie is I believe unique, which is good for United whilst he is around but they will suffer when he isn't. Chelsea and City - I agree it's mostly about the money, and their longevity as top clubs will depend on how lomg their owners remain interested.
I'd welcome that - the day they pipped Man Utd to the title AND Man Utd loosing to LFC to seal it is one of the best last days ever. Also marks the last English manager to win the title - quite remarkable to think that it's 20 years since that happened. Ours must be the only league where it's been 2 decades since a home grown manager won the title.
