Is 9 Trophies In 10 Years A Good Return Under Sheikh Mansour’s Ownership?

[jrb]

Community Sheild: 12/13, 18/19
League Cup: 13/14, 15/16, 17/18
FA Cup: 10/11
PL Title: 11/12, 13/14, 17/18.

PL Title.

Positive. 3 PL titles is a great return considering the competition. Especially winning the title with the last kick of the season in extra time. And winning the league by 19 points and breaking numerous records last season.
Negative. Allowing United to win the title in 12/13, after we didn’t push on, and United signed Van Persie.

FA Cup.

Positive. Our First trophy under Sheikh Mansour’s ownership. Beating Stoke City in the final.(After beating United in the semi-Final)
Negative. Losing to Wigan Athletic in the final. And the Mancini sacking mess the soured the whole day. All these years later I still can’t believe we lost that game and basically tosted the FA Cup away. Only winning it once.

League Cup.

Positive. Wininng it 3 times. We seem to have an affinity with the League Cup. Willy saving the penalties against the Scousers.
Negative. Nothing.

Charity Shield.
Positive. Beating Chelsea and Arsenal.
Negative. Could and should have won it more often. Losing to Arsenal with a weakened team.

Near enough a trophy a season is a very good return. PL Titles and League Cup wins stand out. The FA Cup return has been disappointing. So has the CL, where we’ve reached 1 semi-final, but went out with a whimper against Real Madrid.

Disclaimer: Hope my trophy figures are correct? :-)

It’s a good return, and we’re much further on in our development than I thought was likely in ten years. I don’t count Charity Shields as proper trophies though. Only Mourinho does that. And maybe Moyes.

We've been blessed.

Delighted with everything HRH has done for us

Better than 8 but not as good as 10 :)

I'm still pissed off about losing the FA cup to Wigan.

They all count Ric. Look at other clubs honours boards. Weighed down by Charity Shield wins. But I can see where you are coming from.

Think another FA Cup is due. The Wigan defeat last season was annoying. And I’d like City to finally win the CL.(to piss UEFA, Gill, etc off as well) Or at least get to the final.

Yes.

It’s the FA Cup, but I thought that was in the bag. Especially with the team we had. The whole Day was a disaster from start to finish.
