To win the league now for any team it will be costly, not just united. Do you really believe we will field a team full of kids again and walk to a title? It was a once off and unlikely to occur again. All teams, not just United spend huge amounts of money to be successful.
How long did it take Fergie to win his first league Phil? Chelsea won their first league in 5 years in May.
Over rated? I don't even know where or how you come to that conclusion.
Building a winning team takes money and time Phil, he has only 1 full transfer window where he can do reasonable business (this summer, winter transfers are very difficult during mid season). Success does not happen over night. As I already pointed out to Milo, LVG's transfers for the most part have been a success, do I have to highlight this again? The only transfer gone wrong so far is Di Maria that we can say for certain. There are some question marks over Rojo, but other than that the rest have performed very well and will no doubt be the foundation for the clubs success in the future.
Sounds like you wish for his sacking which is pretty sad and pathetic really and doesn't say much for your opinions. From what I can read into them, they come across as spoiled after 3 decades of unbridled success. That level of success is over now Phil and time to move on.
Your comments are specious and with assumptions about me that are simply wrong. Personally, I never wanted LVG, or Moyes, primarily because they were not properly considered management decisions based upon the qualities of the existing squad. They came with excuses and like all bad workmen blamed their tools.
Since 1963, there have been moments when I knew was spoilt. I know what it was like in the Second Division, and can probably count more years of failure than success - can you?
Since 2008 however I have been openly critical as both a season ticket holder, a shareholder and vet of more than 50 years as supporter.
In my opinion the club lost the will to retain the greatness that had been painfully constructed after Fergie's arrival. It lapsed into complacency when the writing was on the wall. Then running second to City woke us up.
Irrespective of poor investment and the absence of a renewed midfield, Fergie left the squad in better shapar than 1986. But then the club took the same poor management decisions after Fergie as had happened with Busby. We didn't go for Pep, Jose or Klopp we went for Moyes. After Moyes we went for a guy with a litany of excuses. In the end we have spent a fortune with two of those players gone after one season.
I have seen many calamities like Storey-Moore, Webb, Birtles etc but AdM and Falcoa take the biscuit. Incompetence I say because they were not needed, as their subsequent absences proved. Incompetence now because we have gone overkill on midfielders while missing a striker/target man. Incompetence because building teams isn't just about money, it's about managing as Clough and Fergie proved. LVG has become a cheque book manager - seen it all before, only this time his football product is shite.
Personally, I find your tardiness toward giving up on success and moving on far too typical of modern fans. Shame.
