You are right, it’s not ambition, it’s incompetence. It started with believing other managers could do what Fergie could do (not winning leagues etc), but actually the scope of management and power he had. Utd were clearly a big club in the 80’s, but nothing like as big when he left. We then gave Moyes, LVG and Jose unrivalled decision making, that they wouldn’t get at any other club in the world.Looking at the money we have spent over the years since Fergie left it is hard to argue the club lacks ambition , but we have just been extremely incompetent in how we have spent it on average players with huge contracts and no real long term plan or vision. The money we have is not infinite and at some stage it was going dry up and the spend was going to tapper off.
That’s been the problem.
Controversial view - if you were the glazers, you would be bloody fuming to see how £700m or whatever it is has been utterly squandered, and thrown down the drain.
