Before anyone starts downvoting, I come in peace.
The entire English football media today is based around extorting United for clicks and attention. In the last decade of United pretty much dwindling with very little trophy success, I’ve heard Gary Neville go on and on about United. So much so that I’ve heard him(and some other English pundits) say that it would be best for English football for United to return back to trophy success - why exactly?
I’m not English so maybe that’s why I don’t understand it but why is it so hard for the English media to accept that United existing without trophy success is not some atomic bomb to English football?
Eras come and go: Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Everton, Arsenal, Nottingham Forrest. United or any other club should not be exempt from what I perceive to be the natural law of the English game.
United finished 3rd while winning a cup, second the season prior, have won European honors in the last few years, made several finals. They just set the bar so high w their decades of dominance that these solid finishes are ignored.
With proper structural organization, Manchester United is a couple of bigger name impact players from chasing titles again. They also seem to be giving Ten Hag time, a coach who thrives underneath a solid structure. I’ve no doubt he’ll come good once the front office is sorted. No big deal right?
And if United were to be purchased by the Qataris, forget it. I’m not a fan of theirs personally but I think reality is reality and what is a horrible failure for Man U is a solid season for others.
You currently have downvotes for a very thoughtful and intelligent comment.
This is the kind of partisan social media bullshit that irritates me beyond belief
