Why would you want United in a different league? Wouldn't it mean so much more if you could beat your arch rivals to the title? I understand all the history and all but to get all excited because money has finally won is hilarious to be honest. Am I missing something here?
Yes, you are missing something.
In the last 15 years, money has always bought the league, so it is hardly a case of "money has finally won". Money always wins!
United used to buy the most expensive players , breaking various transfer records in the process year in and year out, and reaped the rewards.
Now you are drowning in debt, the purse strings are a bit tight, and that "business model" is suddenly no good.
When Blackburn and Chelsea won the title with the help of a benefactor, suddenly you have a problem with it?
And now that "not our Derby, that's Lierpool" City are about to do it, you have an even bigger problem?
Let's be honest - one of the best things that could happen for the EPL would be for arrogant twat Clubs like Liverpool and UTD to suffer a major and sustained decline - new blood instead of the usual "Sky 4" and all that.
1 down and 1 to go, I reckon.
You might even learn some humility once your recent history becomes crap.
Also - please explain why "history" means from 1990 onwards.
