mikeyp_001:I honestly don't understand half of the so called "fans" on this forum. Let be realistic for once.
Sir Alex is the greatest thing to have come out of British football if not world football. You do NOT lose your talent, judgement and reading of the game over night, so saying he has lost it is rubbish. Had he lost it last season when the same words were used on the forum back then, no, we won the tittle and a big pat on the back for Sir Alex. So what is different now.
Sir Alex watches the players inside and out every day. How often do these fans that cast judgement over his tactics and selection choices watch them?? please anyone..... yes once a week for 90 mins, brilliant! you should be making the step up to the EPL next week i suppose?? Sir Alex has picked the right team every week for the last 25 years, yes you win some and you lose some.
"Sir Alex should/should've bought this person, that person. When was the last time you read through Man Utd end of year figures?? and I don't mean the rubbish ones that get published in the papers. I mean the ins and outs of transfer fees, the cost of maintaining a club with huge debts, ground staff fees, etc? Where Is Sir Alex going to get this kind of money from £35m for him, a £40m buy out clause for him etc. If the club doesn't have money to spend then how can he spend it. If your next statement is "well Sir Alex and David Gill bith have said there are fees to spend" then you are seriously gullible, this is done to sell season tickets and to get bums on the seats, it is done all over the world in every sport you can think of.
Lastly and most importantly, Man City have spent how much money???? they have one of the best starting X1 in the world - FACT!! If we were in the same league as Barca, would we expect to be winning the league, no! We can all see that we are lacking slightly behind Barca, im not afraid to admit that, that's just being realistic. Lets just realise that we are going to be fighting with Chity for many years to come. If they spend the same way they have been season upon season, then this gap is only going to get bigger and bigger, until the next rich man decides he wants to buy Wigan etc. We need to stick with the team we love and not look at the negatives. We have a young team that is only going to get better with age and experience.
A new manager, a new set of player??!!! the grass isnt always greener, remember that.
Anyway if we were to get rid of SAF then he would only be poached by chitty - not that he would go there, but who wouldnt want the greatest manger in the world.
None of us know the team better than SAF, nor do we know the financial restrictions on the club better than SAF and David Gill, so get behind the team and stop pretending this is Champ manager. grow up and realise this is real life.
Anyway im still in hope of a Rooney double hat-trick in both our last games, and plus a few from Johnny Evans (fantasy points :-) )
Chin up guys.
refreshing to see someone who is trying to see the bright side...love the part esp where you say" Sir Alex is the greatest thing to have come out of British football if not world football. You do NOT lose your talent, judgement and reading of the game over night, so saying he has lost it is rubbish. Had he lost it last season when the same words were used on the forum back then, no, we won the tittle and a big pat on the back for Sir Alex. So what is different now.

however, we cant just ignore the negatives :)....we should try and be better everyday....the only way to do that is to try and make negatives positives :)
