All those years, all that shit I took when they were winning everything and it never dawned on me those successes would eventually leave their 'fans' unable to even slightly grasp the concept of failing.
The levels of delusion are hilarious. This is a club that have totally betrayed the principles of youth development they used as a stick to beat us with, so much so they don't even want to compete on those terms any more. But the fans don't care, they've got Schweinsteiger.
A club that have spent an absolute fortune and I'm not exactly sure what they have to show for it. With one recognised centre-forward and a midfielder at centre back, that squad has to be the most unbalanced of any of the top sides. What system are they trying to play? What are they trying to achieve? But the fans don't care, they've just resigned De Gea. A player that was desperate to leave and will, as soon as the Euro's cant be used as duress to force him to play.
When the current lunatic that manages them leaves, he is going to be replaced by a family man that has absolutely nothing on his cv that warrants him being placed in charge of a club that wants to compete at the highest stage. But the fans don't care because the Class of 92 will be reunited and glory will be automatic.
Off the pitch their debt is barely under control, their owners are out of touch and the club is being used to finance their real interests. But the fans don't care, they have more Facebook followers than anyone else.
This is a club that has truly lost it's way, it's soul even. Sure, they may have the odd spike of success over the coming years but the trend will be down until they address all of the above.
The most hilarious part though has to be how impervious most of their fans are to all of this. Decades of dominance has left them in cloud cuckoo land. The gradual realisation will be a thing of beauty to witness.
