I think expectation is linked to spending — if we spend as much as the top clubs we'll be expected to compete.
The Glazers were always ok with us being in the top 6 because that would ensure European football and continue the commercial revenue flowing in. I guess as fans we were in denial that they wanted the club to be a footballing powerhouse. They just wanted a cash cow.

United have the funds yes but not the mentally, structure or the self belief at the moment. Spending is just too black and white. I think the fans should even be happy for them to drastically cut back on spending for the next 5-6 seasons and just get at least a manager in that actually has a style of play.

Wasn't it shown that Uniteds net spend over the last 10 years is about 500 million more than the next highest team. The recruitment of managers and players has just been shocking.

Yes but the players we bought had a high vanity coefficient meaning they were bought to increase commercial appeal

It's definitely going to take time to clean up this squad and sort out the off-field mess.
