It’s interesting that since their rise through the divisions started to stall and they were making losses that the likes of Neville took a step back from the actual running of the club. Now they’ve got a glamour tie against the best team in the country over the last 15 years they all come out of the woodwork and start making it about United and their nauseating class of 92.
Them stuck in the past harking back to a youth team over 30 years ago shows their problems of both clubs. Football has moved on from United a long time ago, letting people like Neville and Giggs who can’t evolve and failed miserably as managers themselves has let them get into the financial problems they have now. There’s a reason why the mothership in Stretford actively pursues City employees as our club is the gold standard of how to run a football club.
No one ever mentions that Giggs (1973) was over 3 years older than Phil Neville (1977) & had been playing first team regularly a year before.
Grossly exaggerated that 6 players coming through the same year from winning the youth cup to the treble & yet Phil Neville & Scholes never played in either of the 2 legs of the 1992 final or the 1999 Champions league final.
