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.
This already happens, 5 of the “big 6” have missed out on a top 4 finish over the last few years. Man City are really the only team that seems impervious to a bad season
Well its a top 4, so there was always at least 2 of the “big” teams missing out on it, but you’re still right in that it has already started. My point here is that it isn’t going to get better/easier for them, or go back to the way it was.
