Interesting article about how/why Utd are where they are.

Specifically:

This week, the Fox Sports channel in the US ranked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the American football club bought by the family in 1994, at the very bottom of the National Football League’s 32-team roster. They were reckoned the weakest franchise, the side least likely to succeed in the forthcoming season. Which was no real surprise as the Bucs have not troubled the engravers since 2002. What the past two decades under the family control have resembled is an inverted tick. From a point of early promise, including that lone Super Bowl success, the team have entered a lengthy period of declining effectiveness.

That is the fear among United supporters. The Glazers were blessed in the early days of their control that they could count on Sir Alex Ferguson. He maintained such an inflow of silverware that criticism of the owners for their asset-stripping methodology seemed ill-placed. But latterly it has become increasingly clear how much Ferguson’s personality papered over the cracks. His ability to drive the team forward disguised poor planning, unscientific recruitment, lacklustre purchasing. Which is no real surprise: the owners’ prime focus is on the bottom line.

The family were wise to defer to the great manager on footballing matters. But it meant on his departure there was an alarming hole in the enterprise. Even the belated arrival of a shrewd new boss is unlikely to be enough on its own to re-establish the team’s ascendancy. Watching the team in action on Saturday in Louis van Gaal’s first Premier League game was to be astonished at the sudden exposure of the fault lines left unaddressed by those in charge. While they have been chasing sponsors, the core purpose of the institution has been left critically unattended. United now find themselves in a position where only a hefty period of player recruitment can turn things around.

Good signing that by Liverpool, would have expected Arsenal to have tried to sign him.. They desperately need a striker.
