United's problems revolve around their ageing squad and the imminent retirement of their greatest ever manager. How do you replace four or five key players when you're already having to sell your best younger players just to stay afloat? And, remember, they have to do all this while continuing to win trophies. Something's got to give eventually.
As stated I am no expert on finance and so am to read Damocles point and hope that he is right. I still think though that how the replacement of Ferguson turns out will be the pivotal moment in their history.

Something Ric said the other day has been bothering me, about our owners getting pissed off with all you fractious bastards who don't know a good thing when you see one. Surely one thing we can all agree on is how lucky we are having owners like we've got. I think it would be a show of unity in the run in to have celebratory scarves say, based on the white away kit with a picture of the sheikh just by way of thank you !
