There's a reason for that though, and it's down to the coaching and culture ETH has instilled over the past 3 years despite an obscene amount of money spent. Just because this manager has us nowhere near the standards we should be in doesn't necessarily mean fans should change their outlook, and own standards based on how the club should be performing and operating as a club.
I would also like to inform you that we haven't come close to winning either the CL or PL since 2013, not 2021. ETH is not the only manager who has had money to spend.
You can have standards, but shouting we have standards wont automatically mean you will get the standards.
I know alot of fans love shouting standards but its not just the manager, you dont automatically compete for the PL or CL without the groundwork. We have the same training ground facilities as we did in 2010.
Whilst I get the manager needs to get sacked, appointing a new manager wont take us to win the PL straight away. So because we cant compete for PL / CL, you decide to cry over standards whilst discounting the FA cup and league cup as irrelevant trophies.
Having standards = We should be challenging for the PL /CL - agreed that is what a big club standard is.
However; saying oh we are big manutd and we used to call the league cup mickey mouse, and all cups should be called mickey mouse because we are Manutd, we have standards, is plain ignorance.
Football changes, cycles change, just because City were a relegation team 15 years ago, doesn't mean they still are, things change, if you dont understand that, then living in the past is fine.
