United finish 16th 17 th next season, i expect that. That the future is something simiilar, forever, because the money isnt there for something better, the low quality of signings is ominous.

The anomaly of what Bonner did, getting united up with the help of Mullin was a fluke.

The redevelopment is hooey, Barry is old, getting older, he will sell soon, he will want a return on the pennies hes spent. On the playing side anyway.

What does the future hold?

Its not success, the field is crowded with bigger clubs with money to spend, not a misely american watching his bank balance.

Is the Barry take over a disaster?, you will say no, till it happens.

United will be 20th, the Abbey will be under new owners, and Barry will be whooping it up. Mind you the new owners might be a blessing. What will happen is that the Abbey will go eventually, the land is far too valuable to big multi national companies.

And when all this happens you wont remember this note.
