United are progressing but when you spend enormous amounts of $ on players, play mostly unwatchable football and go out of the champions league by losing at home to Sevilla, you're going to be in for some criticism.
United virtually PRINT money they are so successful commercially. It is close to criminal that the NET SPEND *BUZZ WORD!!!* isn't even higher considering the club is on damn auto-pilot bringing in hundreds of millions each year without stepping foot on the pitch.
Because if you aren't spending to get better then you aren't even trying to compete. You know which soft drink company outspends the rest by nearly 10-fold? Coca-Cola. And do you know why? Because it fucking works and they want to stay on top. As if spending money and investing in your product is a bad thing. Football fans have jumped the shark on this shit. It is such a lame molehill to try and die on from the "holier than thou" football supporters.
So spare me with the caveats about spending and let's concentrate on the football, yeah? You know, that thing that happens on that green stuff with white lines around it and through it. Football. Not American money, which bought both LFC and MUFC. But football.
MUFC under Snarly Mou, all competitions: P 115. W 72. D 24. L 19. Win% 62.6%
LFC under Jurgy Klopp, all competitions: P 149. W 79. D 43. L 27. Win% 53.0%
MCFC under Peppy G, all competitions: P 109. W 74. D 18. L 17. Win% 67.9%
CFC under Anty Conte, all competitions: P101. W 66. D 16. L 18. Win% 65.3%
Yet Klopp never gets criticized because he is such a likeable guy. But his actual results on the pitch are
CLEARLY worse than the other top managers that have recently taken over top clubs in the Premier League. It isn't even logically arguable he isn't the worst of the 4 in terms of results produced.
