5 doesn’t go into 4.
But United have finished outside that 4, five times, in the last nine years; Liverpool have finished outside that 4, six times in the last eleven years; Chelsea have finished outside that 4, three times in the last nine years…
City have finished outside that 4, ZERO times, in the last eleven years; we have only finished outside the Top 2, twice, in the last ten years.
We’ve done that because we are the best run club.
Liverpool aren’t particularly well run, they’ve just got a great manager who’s been able to invest in the team in one go to build a good team once, and their board don’t invest in the team anymore. By next Summer, every one of their best players will be over 30, and they have no real strength in depth or succession plan for these players. That’s poor from them considering they have earnt £1.45bn in the last three years. Where the fuck the money goes at Liverpool is a mystery.
United are terribly ran. There are a dozen clubs better run than United. They’ve got no plan at all on the football side of things.
City and Chelsea are much better run than those two. That’s why you’ll get City and Chelsea fans welcoming new challenges from clubs like Newcastle being taken over and fans of Liverpool and United crying about it.
And we don’t yet know how well run Newcastle will be. They might not be particularly well run. They might make a lot of mistakes. There could be another club who does better than them. Everton could move to their new ground and attract more investment and do better than Newcastle. Having money is no guarantee of anything, QPR have the fourth biggest backers behind them in English football and they’re nowhere, SheffUtd have Saudi backers and they’re nowhere.
