Iain if you want to compete at the top you need top players. You say you only need 3 players. Rooney, Rvp, Mata your keeper and the young winger are your best players. The rest are average. Unless you have more youngsters coming through you going to have to spend a lot of cash and the agents are going to rip you off. The Glazers are not going to be happy having to spend 100;s of millions, loss of euro cash and share price dipping. Fergies position as a director, these are hard arsed business men they don't care what success he has had in the past he is reponsible for the mess you are in now and he will pay for it.
