That same owner gave your manager enough resources to improve his squad to the point that you won 3 out of the last 4......but you're still unhappy with him. 2 thumbs down. Sorry, you lose.
Typical, uninformed fan response
Those 3 out of the last 4 trophies came at the expense of:
1. Becoming the most leveraged team in the world
2. Having the debt increase over time only adds insult to injury
3. Puts a big dent into the future prospects because of revenue uncertainties
4. Paying Glazers over 60 million pounds/annually just for the **** of it
5. Limiting the clubs future abilities in buying good players
I would take 4 trophyless seasons over ALL that any day. Short-term success is marginal compared to Long-term success and with Glazers we got short-term success at the expense of long-term one. Besides, who says that we wouldn't have been able to buy all the players we got without Glazers? As far as I can remember, United were the most sound sporting franchise in the world, valued higher than the Yankees and generating revenues that would allow the club to spend at least 50 million pounds on players every year just from operational income. Without them, chances are that we would have been 2-3 notches above Chelsea, not below them.
So don't bring the last 4 seasons into the discussion again please.
