United were very fortunate to have the likes of Giggs,Scholes Beckham and even the Nevilles all playing together in a successful youth team.Young talent emerging at the same time was a major factor in Fergies success, lets not forget he was one game from the sack.Now he is one season from it.
The new owner of the club expects results,to achieve this he has to invest in the team,something we are led to believe he is reluctant to do.If he doesnt the glory days at Old Trafford are well and truely over.
If United dont have a successful season this time ,I can see Fergie being replaced and United appointing a new manager every couple of seasons as this Yank will expect to win things cream off the money without having to spend any.
Fergie should have retired at the end of last season.He has had his day,and his judgement is clearly clouded with his obsession for European glory a task which Ibelieve is way beyond them.

Looks like it could be a giant slice of humble pie for me.It looks like United will be the ones to chase Chelsea home.Arsenal look to have blown it,and we are still on the starting line.

Then we have the Glazier factor and lack of transfer funds,although no on can compete with Chelski on that front united have been spending 3-4m on average on players this last two years (rooney apart).Our era of dominance ended in 91 and maybe uniteds time is up now.
