Man United is and always has been hype. Fergie has had the lions share of bad transfers, bad team sheets, and bad attitude. I dont like the influx of money because it turns rags to riches that were never meant to be, but in this case it is a welcomed change.

Even if Man City win the EPL will they qualify for UEFA’s financial fair play?

Spot on. Even if Man Utd wins this year it will be the worse ever title winning team and kudos to Fergie for his motivation. But the team is pretty darn weak and that’s why they can’t even win in the Europa.

1) Decline or Transition.

Are United as good as they were in years gone by? No and not for some time. Decline.

2) Beginning of the end for Fergie?

The great man has held off Chelsea and Arsenal and I suppose a fleeting challenge from Liverpool.

But City are different. They have spent £1 billion in 4 years to get to 2nd. They want to win the league. They want to dominate English football not just win a title. Fergie is 70 and City aren’t going away.

3) Everyone gets their tactics wrong.

True that. But he gets paid to get them rights and Fergie has got them wrong more times this year than in the previous ten put together.

On top of that. He signs the players for his tactics so he is fully culpable.

It won’t take 15 years at all Owen.

It’ll take one season. Even without winning the league this year City have overtaken United.

City are in the ascendancy as a club and seem to be meeting United on the way down.

I’d say it is very worrying Ian.

Look at the EPL 20 years team – realistically you could pick an all-time United midfield.

Not anymore.

Thank you for your advice, however as a blog it’s our aim to get folk to post their opinions and others to share their thoughts/rebuttle. By the looks of it we’ve done pretty well here and our reputation is just fine.

Also, on your first point, the average age of United’s side against City was five years older than it was back in August. Not quite the youthful transition is it?

Point no. 1: United are not in decline, they are in transition. A glance at the average age of United’s side will tell you that it’s a young side.

Point no. 2: Far too many football writers have predicted the ‘beginning of the end’ of Sir Alex Ferguson and all of them have eaten only humble pie. I hope it happens to you too.

Point no. 3: Everyone gets their tactics wrong once in a while, even in big games. Doesn’t make it a cardinal sin.
