what about 2nd why are you ignoring that and the 7th represented the turmoil of hicks and Gillette era. Don't you know where we have finished in the league over the past 20 years do your research first them ask the questions.
remember winning 5 trophies in one season? the usual FSG apologists like to paint the club as a basket case and it was anything but between 2005 and 2010 we had two CL finals and another semi final and Qtr final the financial problems belonged to Hicks and Gillette and we were never in danger of going bust especially at a value of Ā£300 mil and there was more than one offer in for the club.between 2000-2007 there were approx. 10 trophies if you include Charity shields and super cups and since 2008 when the other idiots took over up until today 1 just 1 and you paint the club as a club in crisis prior to FSG .
Charity Shields and Super Cups - we never used to count them , glorified friendles. One second place - thatās all , first loser as we used to call it and now itās celebrated as an achievement?
The club was a mess - top players were leaving the club to be replaced by dross and over priced freebies - Xabi gone , Masher gone , Torres looking to get out , players like Poulsen , Konchesky coming in to replace quality because we didnāt have a pot to piss in.
What other offer was in for the club - we owed the banks considerable money and loans getting bigger - we were sold on the never never by the crooks , the financial problems were on the club , the company that they owned the club owed the money to the bank.
You canāt talk about reaching finals and quarters etc if you arenāt going to mention the finals we have reached under FSG. Calling them idiots because they donāt do what you want ? Because they donāt act like oil barons using personal money - itās just poor
