while Celtic have a bigger budget than us?
We put in a fantastic first 6 months of the season and it's agony how it's totally collapsed. I try and be rationale and look at progress (I really do!) but I keep coming back to it being absolutely shocking at how we've totally blown it.
A lot of the discussion has now fallen on Gerrard but the most prominent excuse overall is that we just cannot hope to compete with their budget.
So I ask, if that's the case, do we not expect to win anymore? Are we not putting that demand on the squad?
I don't have the exact quote but Ferguson said when the billionaire owners came into City and Chelsea he told the United players it doesn't matter how much money these guys rock up with, this is Manchester United and we are always expected to win.
