Typical, right? Arsenal finally after all their years in the wilderness of fourth to eighth since their last title in 2004 have built a competitive squad to challenge Manchester City and the likes of Chelsea and Newcastle are bought out and boosted by mega-rich new owners.
Manchester United are also in the process of a potential takeover with the Glazer family reportedly open to selling, although there remains some doubt about when, if ever, that will happen. United were tipped by some, Gary Neville more than most, to finish above Arsenal this season.
Now with them 19 points behind with 10 games to play (12 for them), it doesn’t seem likely. So is there a reason for concern with these hugely wealthy prospective owners sniffing around Old Trafford?
