People just can’t accept that the demands of modern football, (is it really that modern? because it’s now 20 years since Man Utd withdrew from the FA Cup).Re: Trophies and perceived lack of success or pedigree until said trophies have been won.
Poch and Levy are playing the game of modern football (pitch and boardroom) as it needs to be played in 2019 and are making a relative success of it.
Parts of the fan base and the media are expecting him to be playing the game as if it was 1975.
I don't like it anymore than you men.
But I've said it before and ill say it again. Don't hate the player(s). Hate the game.
In 2008 We won a league cup and watched our strikeforce at the time leave. A domestic cup in 2019 doesn’t improve the status of your club - see Wigan, Portsmouth, Swansea. It’s would be a nice exclamation point to have, but it’s about regular CL participation and challenging for your league.
And it’s not like he hasn’t gone after domestic trophies, 4 times he’s gone close.
