But if you're suggesting we didn't have the first under Moores then how did we achieve the second?
I'm not sure how winning 8 major trophies and then the additional ones around could be deemed a fluke?
As I said mate I'm not really an fsg basher, but I just dispute that already fsg have done more for the club than he ever did
I can't see us coming over to the others view mate but I respect yours
Because times have changed.
It was possible in 91 to win the league without huge resources (although we still failed under his ownership).
It's not now.
Back then we had to compete with a couple of teams who were about the same as us in terms of spending and revenue.
Now, we're competing with at least 4 teams who can outspend us, although Arsenal may be dropping out of that group.
It's not just transfer fee's, wages as well are astronomical compared to even a few years ago.
It all adds up, and I guess my main point is that FSG have dragged us into the 21st Century.
In football terms, it's not a place I particularly like, but it's something I have to accept, which includes accepting that now more than ever, we need to keep increasing money that doesn't come from gate receipts.
Just to add: it's not about bashing or supporting them, we're just having a conversation
(which I've enjoyed)
