Not bad for a pub team No ones saying your a pub team max , but when fergie took over at United , let’s not say they were in a pit as they weren’t. United were a very decent side in their own right . Yes saf took them into a new stratosphere, but surely sky , the premier league and the formation of the champions league hugely advantaged united financially as the champions during that era. Point to note , the only team who could really compete with them was Blackburn, bankrolled by a millionaire 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,658 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hardly max the fa didn’t exactly help themselves personally the f a cup is overrated, it’s a nause for lower league teams fixtures, the “magic” of the cup is a nightmare for a lot of small clubs. The police bill outweighs the draw of a middling tier two side, ask any chairman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,658 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Why?! Why should a team that’s grafted all season in a very difficult financial league to compete in , be denied entry for a jumpers for goalposts competition ?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,658 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Max , the champions league is not for the winners of cup completions it’s for those teams who have performed best in their respective league no one gives a f**k about the cup anymore it’s pocket money in a world of multi million dollar deals I do agree that the f a cup should mean more , but I lost interest the moment they rebuilt Wembley the cup is just one thing left behind , much like national leagues will be in our lifetime . and those with a sky subscription are as much to blame imho as United are in yours 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
