I'm to going to keep saying this over and over and over again. Nothing this clubs does really matters until the Glazers are gone. The debt, dividends, incompetent scouting, director(s) of football, general managerial/footballing structure...
Everything is futile, everything is false dawn until they are gone. It may never happen and this club slowly drifts first into midtable irrelevancy, then possible relegation and bankruptcy.
In order for this club to be healthy and prosper once again, after many years - Glazer Apocalypse/Tragedy(2005 - ?) needs to end. Will it ever happen, i don't know.
The current fate of the club is unknown.
