We can't say that those days are gone for good because none of us know what the future holds. However, I do think there is an arrogance that courses through that club that makes them think that whatever happens they will always be in a position to challenge at the top end of the table. That arrogance has stemmed from the huge amount of success they enjoyed under Ferguson and they thought that it would simply carry on once he left. They thought that whoever they stuck in charge would be successful yet soon found out that Moyes was nowhere near accomplished enough. Never mind, LVG will sort it out instead - trouble is, while there has been some improvement they're still looking a fair way off being title challengers. You'd have thought they would have learnt their lesson from the failed Moyes reign that nothing is guaranteed in football. The whole infrastructure of the club needs to change - much of what is in place worked under Ferguson but once he went it was a structure that was soon exposed as being totally outdated. Maybe the Tactical Turtle is addressing this, who knows? However, with the likes of the Family Man having such a prominent role on the coaching staff I wouldn't be surprised if they think that carrying on as they are will eventually see the successful times return. I suppose if they throw as much money at it as they have been doing then that in itself may bring some success but it isn't exactly great planning.
