I realize there's a naivety among fans (which includes Neville) that success might be even close to as important as money is for the Glazers, but at some point you can't have one without the other. And all of that aside, the point still stands that the spending hasn't translated to on-field improvement at all. Now, we can keep throwing managers under the bus and pretend that's the whole problem, but that's hardly going to help. Recruitment has been consistently piss-poor under Woodward.
Well some of us are hoping that they never figure that out.

We have to get our PL drama somewhere.
