That's the thing with phoenix clubs: they can absolutely work for a club with a strong core of local support, as AFC Wimbledon, Newport County, Chester FC, Hereford FC et al demonstrate On the other hand when you make a phoenix club of a club, or in Man Utd's case an international brand, whose fanbase lives anywhere but locally (to put it mildly...) there won't be that core of local support when the team gets established there won't be the sustainability for the first decade that clubs need
Fancy giving Arsenal an own goal and a penalty! Some teams have to work for their goals! Welcome back Sonny!!!!!!!!!!
