Following a model but not getting the result is simply a failure .Someone should have a word with HRH Mansour then because its his club and his brief they are all following.
Dont for a second think I'm defending him or saying he never makes mistakes, I'm not but its the reality and as fans, we just need to think about what he has got right so far since he took us over and that's virtually everything before we start moaning too much.
Also, if we are to emulate a club and its success then Barca isnt that bad a model to follow is it?
It is undoubtedly very difficult to be a consistently successful DoF and Txiki is testament to that.Someone should have a word with HRH Mansour then because its his club and his brief they are all following.

They had all the support from the owner but senseless spending might come and bite with ffp still looming around.
He has more wrong than right.
I am not expecting every signing to be successful but atleast majority to be so.
We go on to win the CL this season or next?
Success or failure?
I know which one HRH Mansour will think it is mate and thats not having a go, its the reality.
Too many want everything right now and have fallen for the we have spent loads so it should be happening mantra.
Every club at the top of the PL has spent fucking shit loads of cash, everyone yet most go most seasons will little or no success and that's football.

I'd check the three teams above us spending, net spend also to ours, there's one big fuckin gulf
Leicester aside, everyone else, normally challenging for and expected to challenge for the title and top 4 has spent and will continue to spend huge amounts of money and with the new tv deal, the rest will also spend huge amounts of money.
Even Leicester!
Its not football though is it. United have dominated this league for nigh on twenty years as Liverpool did before and clubs like Bayern/Barca/Madrid/Juventus have done in there respective leagues for significant periods.
We have been in a unique position. Not only have we outspent everyone of our rivals, we have not lost any of our best players and had the spine of the team in place for the past 4/5 seasons. Furthermore the club which has dominated the prem for the past twenty years has been in freefall having lost there manager of over thirty years.
We were in a perfect position to fill our boots trophy wise or as Soriano and Begiristain said produce a consistent standard of football. On both counts we have failed. I doubt many other top sides have been hammered with such regularity or have so often consistently failed to beat top 10 sides.
When we put the CL trophy on the mantelpiece it'll all be good Frank.Its not football though is it. United have dominated this league for nigh on twenty years as Liverpool did before and clubs like Bayern/Barca/Madrid/Juventus have done in there respective leagues for significant periods.

What exactly are you basing this on?
With the exception of United no one nearly approaches us for spending. In fact over the past five years (according to transfer league) Spurs have recorded a profit, whereas we have a nett spend of 300 million. These figures also do not include the accelerated spending which happened the two seasons previous either.
Arsenal had a net spend of 100 million, Leicester 55 million. Chelsea and Liverpool have higher figures though but still not approaching our levels.
