Some of our older fans have that carved in their soul i think, that is just footy. I am fortunate in i have managed to expunge the 90's from my head and it would indeed explain a great deal and in the 80's i was busy eating worms and murdering woodlouse wholesale.
I get to see the vast majority of my life seemingly with us set at the top or there about now. Considering i would have been happy with a league cup or sneaky FA cup i am in dream land. The schadenfreude needs to be maintained though for banter related purposes at least :-D
From Fergusons horse dealings onward their has been a rot in your club, before that it was all football focused with the knowledge on the field comes first. Since then your eye has been off the ball in various ways i think. The Glazers have done brilliant if your a suit but i feel they treat the source of your financial might like a shabby golden goose who can be abused and still lay golden eggs. Those fans/clients/customers they want come with watching great football not just the unveiling of a famous name every year. It is very short sighted and indeed i think counter productive to the ideal business your suits must surely desire, namely greater revenues and less interest payments on debts owed.
