-Man Utd finished 7th

-Man Utd are therefore the 7th best team

-Finishing 7th is therefore what is expected

-David Moyes therefore did well

-Man Utd fans should therefore be happy

 

Well exactly.

 

In mitigation, Man Yoo fans could point to the previous season under Fergie though and say "But we're better than that", whereas after 4 years of a manager you can't do that anymore. Wherever you are, you are.

 

If Moyes had stayed for 4 years and finished 7th, 3rd, 9th and 8th, then was 7th mid-way through the next season, the above argument would work perfectly. You could just say "But your expensive, high-rep signings aren't that good" and "Moyes is doing a great job with an average squad who aren't as good as you think they are". Tack on "Your expectations are too high, you're being unrealistic" to top it all off.

 

Sounds horribly familiar and it's such a shit argument.

 

The crap football and actual quality of the squad need critiquing as part of the ananlysis, not just looking at the league table, declaring that you're in the position you're in and that therefore all is well. That's fucking crazy talk.

It's all bullshit, there's no reasoning to it, these people are just fucking thick. We finished 5th then 16th and everyone went 'but you finished 5th'...It's constant cognitive dissonance.

Ashley has been here 7 years now (?) and in that time we have achieved relegation and a 5th place.  In the 7 years previously, we were in the Champions League, regularly in the UEFA Cup (quarter final and semi-final), FA Cup semi-final.  League places varied - some years we did better than others and we didn't actively look to sell our best players.  In the years before that there were  FA Cup finals, high league places, European football and exciting football (maybe not 97-99).  We had a presence in European football and were included at one stage on one of those organisations for the top Europe clubs.

 

It is not unrealistic for us to expect better based on what we were used to when Ashley took over.  Since his takeover, the "football" club has been a failure despite generating a profit although he has been very successful in reducing expectations so now many believe that 10th is the best we can hope for and all we deserve.
