great post Thundyr.

i would say people need to realise we are now washed clean and need to stop shouting about what has gone by. Never in the last 15-20yrs has everything required to be a succesful club been in place at the same time. we either embrace it now or miss out on what really is a great opportunity. all above us have faults one way or another. we just need some better players and some time. lets try and enjoy this seasons bumpy ride as good times are ahead.

another great point thundyr i always look forward to your posts you know your stuff mate i think the academy is one thing we need to focus on we have so many talented youngsters and the minute and great coaches too which should hopefully mean a bright future

We may have an academy but it’s not been a success so far yes there is Kelly but not much since Owen, Gerrard as far as I can see. But maybe that has been how its managed rather than the concept. What has gone wrong over last 20 years is still with us and is the elephant in the room as far as I am concerned and optimism alone cannot change that. The future could be bright but not unless major structural investment is put in and I am not talking £40m or so on transfers but £400m on new ground and maybe £100m on long term selective transfer policy. I do like the messages from the owners about investing in youth and long term buys rather than marquee signings a la City etc.

but the academy when through big changes last year there was a staff overhaul dalglish even praised it today and the coaches we have now segura and borrell well there track records speak for themselves

Well lets hope its a sucess it has to be the future not least to keep the wage bill at remotely sane levels. I also always think home grown players are the best and give best VFM.

we need to be doing what united have been doing for years and atleat make a profit of them if there not good enough how may players in the premier league have came out uniteds reserves who theyve made money on and even in the lower leagues shawcross ebanks blake fraizer campbell graig cathcart are just a few off the top off my head whereas we just release ours and make nothing

Quite true good point Torres
