It's a nice thought saying we're the top club in British football, but, unfortunately, it's simply not true anymore.
No its not but why cant we be again? Thats why I wanted owners with the muscle to catch up on the wasted 25 years. We never got it we got "the best of the rest"
I can understand your views on it, Stan. Obviously the best option, moving forward, would be for a brand spanking new Stadium which would rival/better Old Trafford, but it just isn't realistic - not with the owners we have.
Comparisons have been made with Arsenal - I think that it would be a much harder task for us to do similar, the landscape has changed. Paying off the debt for a new Stadium would be very dependant on staying in the CL, we now have 7 quality teams that will be pushing for Top 4, this wasn't the case for Arsenal and Wenger did brilliantly to not drop out of it, with only 5 teams realistically challenging for 4 spots. There is less risk involved with the option FSG have chosen.
We can become the best again, but that will take time and success on the pitch. There was a time when all fans cared about was what happened on the pitch, sadly that is no longer the case.
