There is something serious wrong about the club imo. We have unique advantages in this club over others, like humongous stadium, great city, history, legends of the game playing for us like no other club, and few others too.
But the way the club is handled is not very good, despite these rare advantages. The main reason I'm not opposed to selling the club. The ability of the club, using the current model, to sustain itself past a couple of years is not there for me.
Even if we somehow get back on top of Europe against all odds, it will last only a few years and then another moron, elected by the club itself, will destroy it all.
This is the big overarching problem that we've always had. With the advantages that are intrinsic to this club, the president and co could build something great that doesn't have us with these huge ups and downs. The problem is that culturally, we just don't have that cut throat approach to how we view this club. There's too much focus on intangibles such as culture and language, history, etc.
While you don't need to abandon that completely, imagine being run as efficiently as Bayern for example. I'm not saying Bayern are a 100% perfect model, they have their own shenanigans with Presidents etc. but very rarely are they not in the conversation in Europe - the ups and downs they have are not as exaggerated as ours.
Our current model gives us what you'd expect - some unprecedent highs (Which will happen rarely) and then shocking lows. I am not sure I see this changing unless we're sold either.
