I been going to United games as far back as the gardens so jog on.
The end game here is a strong domestic competition is it not ?. You want a comp carrying basket cases just so we can be involved, I got news for you sunshine have a look at the decline in the standard of the competition and the level of interest that standard is creating. It is this standard and declining interest that is reducing revenues and proving to be a monumental drain on clubs finances.
There is only one KPI by my reckoning that justifies us having a team in the sports premier competition and that is the loyalty of the ever resilient supporters but even that at some point is not enough.
At the end of the day the game comes first and for the premier comp in this country to do well clubs like ours and the scum down the road need to do better or be justifiably left behind.
Maybe 12 months out of the comp would have been a good thing, Get our overlord situation sorted and make a raft of changes off the field to generate additional revenue through sponsorships. A full 12 months to target some handy Visa players and local talent. We have left our run way too late for this season re Visa players with issues like available flights, arranging a spot in what is proving to be high demand quarantine spots and then getting them up to speed fitness wise.
Sometimes you just got to call it for what it is, Bit hard to fix shit if you don't want to acknowledge it.
