United and UCL Crown Not to Be Again

Watched United's devastating loss in the Champions League Final against Barcelona.

It was a 1 sided affair.

Barca was at her very best, and i mean very top of the best kind.

The english commentator remarked that it was the best football he has witnessed in all his playing days and career as a commentator.

Fergie himself remarked that barca was at the "peak in this cycle of their team", and that the team was the bast he had faced in his career.

Big words. All of them true.

united players could not get near the ball. Barca was simply too good that night. It was heart-breaking to watch. the feeling is like a chess enthusiast looking at his son being bested by someone superior on the day. you feel helpless, but at the same time marvel at the skills of the opponent.

I mean, we have conquered England. We were the Mount Everest of the world. But then we met Olympus Mon of Mars.

So where do united go after this? I ask again: WHERE DO UNITED GO AFTER THIS?

Obviously we have to maintain the status quo at home, and that means continuing winning the league titles. But to conquer Europe, we need to change something.

I provide some options:

1. Replace the owners - after all, they are the source of funds for new players. they are ultimately responsible for the ups and downs of the club.

2. Replace Sir Alex Ferguson - the winning general in England has proven he cannot replicate the success in Europe.

3. Replace some players - buy new world-class players to enable us to compete at the highest level.

4. Replace the board - the board has consistently failed to deliver the UCL crown, despite domestic success.

5. Move the geography of United.

yeah, random ramblings i know...

Do you get the feeling that the clubs that most players aspire to are either Barca or Real? I mean United poach the best players from other teams, but teams like Barca and Real poach players from United.

I dunno...
