On the other hand, some people talk about MUFC as if it was a small time club that happened to stumble upon two mercurial managers and that's where all of our glory comes from. We don't have SAF anymore so we're back to "normal", which is mediocrity.The problem with these people is they think the MUFC ‘brand’ has this god given right to compete for all trophies, all the time. It’s the deluded mindset of “We’re Manchester United we should have high standards and win because we’re so big” that we laughed at Liverpool about for so many years.
This is where these the entitlement claims come from, quite rightly. Sadly I don’t think some have the capacity to grasp that it’s not the Fergie days any more, and it takes hard work to be successful.
Most of the fans don't buy that. We're not a medium or even a "topish" club. MUFC is football royalty and the main reason it hasn't shown on the pitch for 7 years is our board doesn't care about results as long as the $$$ keeps flowing, combined with a lack of a football project and a supbar choice of managers.
MUFC, or any club, for what it's worth, doesn't have a God given right to win and be glorious, but if the club has the means to do so and it's failing due to a bunch of greedy and incompetent feckers, then the revolt of the fans is absolutely justified, and not a byproduct of entitlement.
