Give it a fucking rest. You are embarssing those of us that have some shame.

Manchester Uniteds success was built on money too.

Just wasn't any restrictions on spending it then.

This peasant act is pathetic.

Quick thread to end this bullshit narrative -

Sir Alex Ferguson before winning a single league title at Manchester United spent 4m in one window. The British transfer record at the time was 4.2m

The equivalent of that in modern football is just under 140m in one window based on Coutinho being the current British record

We broke the British transfer record multiple times. We paid the highest wages. The first 50k a week player in the PL was here.

We financially bullied broke clubs into selling us their best players in an era where failure wasn't rewarded with hundreds of millions in TV money

We were fortunate enough to be one of the first clubs to benefit from the commercialisation of football when huge commercial sponsorships started to come in

This club was built on money. It just came from sponsors rather than an Arab. Does it really matter where it came from?

Every single bit of success Manchester United had under SAF and onwards came from money.

A handful of once in a lifetime academy players that were good enough from being teenagers being sprinkled into already successful and expensive teams isn't what this lot make it out to be.

And none of that is a bad thing.

Manchester United should be spending money.

The reason we are shit now is because between 2005-2014 we spent years spending fuck all letting everyone else catch up and stagnated ourselves in the process.

People will point to what the Glazers have spent in the last few years out of desperation whilst ignoring that we were signing shite like Obertan, Bebe and Michael Owen on a free to save money whilst Chelsea and City bought 10 top players a season and became what they are today.

Between selling Ronaldo in 2008 and signing RVP in 2012 Manchester United had a lower net spend than Aston Villa and Stoke City.

We are where we are because we stopped doing what City are doing now and let them catch up. This is self inflicted. Nobody else to blame.

The club has made its own problems, it's fanbase has played a large part in enabling that.

As a result City may well match our biggest achievement. And if they do they'll deserve it. They spent what it took to win. Just like we used to.

Maybe if our idiot fans spent as much time holding Manchester United employees accountable for their performances as they do worshipping them for embarrassing the club against it's rivals every couple of months, Manchester United wouldn't be in this position.

But we are. So take it on the chin if City win a treble and have a bit of fucking shame about it.

If you want to moan about something, go moan about these idiots throwing a party after losing a fucking cup final to them to hand them the treble on a plate.

Hope this helps
