Finished. There go go. This is why Woodward has the trust. He's making the mistake of analyzing it with the perspective that the Glazers care enough about winning.
sure. The question is though, is that sustainable if the on-field performance doesn't improve? I mean, missing out on the CL repeatedly is going to sting both financially and in terms of the brand, as top players will simply not view it as an option anymore. Are they going to keep earning a ####load of money if they continue to be more like Arsenal and Everton instead of Liverpool and City?

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.
