They are in terminal decline. They are always quick to talk about their history but all that has been lost in the pursuance of high transfer value players (some I've never heard of) who join up and talk about being at the biggest and most famous club in the world but that isn't anywhere near enough creating a successive and successful venture. Without giving them an obvious and trueful sense of direction, what they need to do is to have a clear gutting of their playing staff and management and to go back to the 1950s and go big on a youth policy, something they became famous for, but that will take time and whether their support base will allow that is an entirely different matter. A 10 year process, minimum, I would guess.
