You wouldn't want the manager at United gone if he had done the same as Wenger over the past 10 years? 3 FA Cup wins but constantly failing to challenge for the PL or in Europe? Not forgetting all the humiliating results in all that time to fellow big teams. In those 10 years they've won 3 trophies and had several strong title challenges - e.g. 2007/08 where they were top before a horrible series of results, 2009/10 and 2010/11 when they were right in it up until May and 2015/16 where they finished second. They've also reached the Last 16 of the Champions League every year, yeah they've lost, but they've drawn one of the top 3 sides in Europe on almost every occasion. Arsenal aren't United, they don't have the same budget. The expectations for United are always going to be higher. They've finished above United the last 4 seasons in a row though. They weren't in a title challenge in 2015/16. They were out of the running and just happened to finish second due to Spurs bottling the last few games. To challenge for a title IMO, you'd have to have a chance of winning the title near the end of the season. I don't remember if that was true of 2009/10 and 2010/11 but it's coming up to 10 years. Unlikely they'll be doing it this season. Would you accept 3 FA Cups and no real title challenges in the span of 7 years from a manager for United, when it looks now more than ever, you're as far away from being in a title challenge as you were 7 years ago? You wouldn't. |
