So I’m pleased to say that it’s looking like I very much misjudged Ratcliffe. I was very skeptical of his intentions, very skeptical of the Glazer’s reluctance to give up meaningful power in the club and very much expected a continuation of the decay we’ve seen for the last decade and more.
Say it quietly but I’m beginning to believe that the level of talent being installed across the top levels of the club can only lead to good things. A year ago, if you asked me if I thought we would win the league in the next 10 years my honest answer would have been that I’d be surprised if we finished in the top four more than five times and be very surprised if we finished within 10 points of first even once.
So, I’m ready to change that prediction, I reckon we will win the league in or before the 27/28 season.
