This is a very strange post.
Yes, Manchester United falling from the number 1 spot, winning league titles and playing 3 champions league finals between 2008 - 2011 to the dismal state of today, that is not the owners fault, not the boards of directors fault, no let's blame the fans because of their constant moaning about the abysmal state of their club.
Falling from grace was acceptable in the days before we became the highest valuable club in the history of football, falling in this day and age of massive wealth is simply not acceptable, this isn't a disaster time, there is no world war, there is no global economic depression. We are currently the 3rd richest club in all sports worldwide. So no, I'll not accept this failure as (a normal cycle). This is simply lack of leadership, lack of planning, and a failure of management.
Manchester United isn't the top spenders over the last 3 years, the net spending over the last 4 transfer windows (2 summer + 2 winter windows) is less than 100 millions. The squad is extremely imbalanced, we solve one chronic problem only after 3 other problems occur. The club have the 2nd highest wage bill for a group of players who aren't capable of competing with clubs that have almost half of our wage bill! A huge waste in the transfer market simply because there is no clear vision, no clear football project. Is this the fans fault?
I understand that for most people, football is an escape from reality so some don't particularly like the all the doom and gloom atmosphere around the club right now, and would like the fans to tune it down a bit. But in doing so, all what what this post is doing is shifting the blame and allowing the Glazers and the board to get away with murder.
I'll support my club as always, all of us will. However, I'm happy that most of our fans have woken up from the mass delusion that the Glazer family have a football plan in mind, or that football is their priority, good, maybe they will sell the club, or else the pressure will push them to change their way of thinking to adapt to a changing football world.
