We were in a big 4 before there was ever a big 6. Make the Ashley decade look bizarre rather than what's happening now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should they? 14 years we had Ashley for, they were not responsible for his actions. Telling people what they largely already know isn’t going to change anything. They only thing they can do is make steps to get us back there and above it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an entire generation of under 30s in the wider football world who don't know that. And some very interested parties who would prefer they didn't and want to keep up the Saudi interlopers narrative so they can insist that the Chelseas and Tottenhams deserve special favours based on their historicity.

Agreed. It's Marketing and legend building. Adidas semi do it with the Nostalgia kits but the club should do more to shape this as a return to our rightful place in Europe's hierarchy - even if it's not fully true - it's what good marketers would tell everyone.

Optimistic Nut Posted Friday at 16:37 Share Posted Friday at 16:37 Just Man Utd having Cunha and probably Mbuemo and Spurs not having Ange will mean that's 12 points we're going to have to work a lot harder for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whack Bayern, Real & Atletico in there and jobs a good’un Just makes you realise what you’re up against. Imagine Barca away, followed by a PSG revenge mission at home, then we’re off to Juventus. Hope we’re not going to be expected to compete at this level with three quarters of a suitable squad (again). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
