and lol @ why did their best players leave
clubs finished now - in terms of being a powerhouse in the game, nobody shows them any fecking respect at Old Toilet and go there with the intent to sniff out blood and BEAT them there - and do lol
now teams play them like its a cup final - they're the new Liverpool of the early-mid 90s , when we were in the situation they're in now.
so now they can relate - and their new lot can begin to understand what it felt like when we declined.
having said that - they still have a strong core and a more importantly have brought in a proven world class manager with years of success and experience under his belt.
I still don't think they'll walk right back into top 4 easily - they can but it will be hard work. Right now their job is just to get off to a flying start in the prem and build on that - that might WAKE THEM UP again and bring back memories of how good they use to be under Fergie...
Its probably the press that makes players want to leave.
They joined the senior circuit and play exhibitions matches and sign autographs, before they go to the retirement home.
Only 3 defenders who are past their prime have left, they still have players such as rooney, rvp, and mata
They're just a mid-table club.
There in a bad club.
they were reaching pension age
Because they are fking sh*t that's why.
