The big Sky Sports Manchester United Post-non-win Inquest is on again… (yawn!)
Nobody, but nobody, ever brings up the facts that:
English football does not have a Celtic/Rangers situation where there are clubs who have always been at the top. Where the fuck does this notion that United “should be” challenging come from?
English football is ever changing, there are loads of big clubs and loads of well run clubs, the best run clubs in the country are always up at the top but it’s never the same clubs. Never has been, never will be. It’s always changing.
In their 120 year history, United have challenged for the title 32 times (winning 20). For the other 88 years of their history they’ve not challenged for the title and, actually, their all-time average finishing position is 9th!
Them finishing 6th/7th this season is above their all-time average. In terms of how English football is, they should be well happy with that. They need to realise that nothing lasts forever, but they’re too insecure to think like that. Why are they so insecure?
There’s no big inquest to be had. Especially not every fucking week! It’s simply that United’s time has been+gone, there are other clubs who are better run and are going to finish above them.
