Heaven knows why some people are convinced a Saudi takeover is the final hope for United restoration. The answer is simply revisiting some footballing basics. Develop a team with a plan. As far as I was aware, we are not amongst the clubs that has a financial problem! We spend as much as anyone bar PSG in the market. And their spending has gotten them feck all in the grand scheme of things, except being knocked out of the CL at home to our squad of ‘failures’.
I think, without wanting to sound condescending, there may be an age thing here. I started posting on forums at 17, and I’m not too far off double that now. My username was embarrassing and transfer related back then, and all I wanted is to do was sign, sign, sign! I think younger fans are a bit transfer obsessed. While they are quite obviously an important part of football, we have literally demonstrated over the last few years that this alone is not the answer. But the 17 year old me would have probably just insisted we just need to sign more and better players too.
We have enough money to build a team I think. Now we need the rest of the ingredients.
