It's just delusional and elitist nonsense to imagine that United harbour greater ambitions than Spurs.
That's bollocks, Glaston.
There's some proper shite spouted here by United fans, I'll give you that. But United and Spurs aren't on the same level as football clubs, either historically or presently.
From a not unreasonable perspective, our aim is the very top of the mountain – we have the history, the fan base, and the money to aim that loftily. It might very well be that we won't get there – but it's not an outlandish aim as such, long term.
Spurs may realistically aim to cement a status as a top club – similar to what Arsenal have been, say – but unless something changes dramatically, you can't very well claim that you're in a realistic position to go head-to-head with Real Madrid, to put it like that.
And that could be seen as our ambition – or ultimate ambition, if you will. You need more fans, more trophies and more money to entertain such wild ideas.
Doesn't mean you won't better us short-term results wise, of course. Ambition is a fine thing, but hardly anything to brag about in itself. United are in danger of becoming a club whose lofty ambitions don't match the reality of the table at all – so, again, I'm not posturing here, just making a simple point: United are, like it or not, in a slightly different category than Tottenham (as long as it lasts).
Would be awkward if he is joining us, after him trying to pick-on Herrera and all.
