The current owners are milking the brand for all it's worth and saddling the club with billions in debt.

That works if you're winning but Sir Alex is gone and today's squad doesn't have the same mystique as the team of the nineties.

Liverpool went through this phase with American owners. Damn near put them into bankruptcy but fortunately Fenway Sports Group stepped in and has turned the club around.

I love the FA cup. It's a shame it's not televised more often here in the states.
