Crerand, Law, Charlton almost finished.

It's only hindsight that tells us the so called promising players weren't good enough, and the club at the time definitely didn't invest in top class players, and the manager didn't survive.

It's funny how history has a canny way of repeating itself.

Tick tock.



Spot on Crowhill, spot on.
You know what the big difference is? Those young players hadn't won much... ours have been there and done it. The average age is lower, we have a far stronger squad,

Jones, Januzaj, Smalling, Rafael, Evans, Zaha, Welbeck, Cleverly, Powell, De Gea.. most of those players have won trophies.

Best wasn't world class by the end, he was sporadic and the drink finally caught up with him.

I think we learnt well from the post busby years, no chopping and changing, Fergie has stepped clear.

Maybe history will repeat itself... I'll take one relegation.. 20+ years no title then another 13 titles... will you take successive relegations and ?

TBH I think you are the next Blackburn, teams built on money, no togetherness... they plummet when things go bad, Leeds, Blackburn..
