Back in the 90's and 2000's, if you had watched football at least once or twice then you must have definitely heard of Manchester United. So unrivalled was their dominance of English Football that other clubs just couldn't see any light at the end of their tunnel. Week after week, Sir Alex Ferguson and his boys produced incredible results, season after season they carted away the loot of their warfare coupled with their famed academy which continually churned out mega superstars; there was no near end in sight to their unbridled success.

Then the unexpected happened - Sir Alex Ferguson's health started deteriorating and his advisers began preaching to him the gospel of retirement. Sir Alex Ferguson being the legendary and enigmatic figure he is, decided that the perfect sendforth would be winning one last Premier League title. The 2011/12 Premier League season was one of the most keenly contested seasons in the 27 year history of the League and of English Football as a whole. The season saw both Manchester Clubs go toe to toe and shoulder to shoulder for superiority with City, reinvigorated by the Arabians and their vast fortune, coming tops. To Sir Alex Ferguson, this was only delaying the inevitable. He got his wishes as United won the 2012/13 Premier League title thanks to the brilliance of their Marquee signing - Robin Van Persie and Sir Alex Ferguson moved on. Not many people saw it coming but David Gill, the Man who had always been by Ferguson's side managing the administrative affairs of the club decided to leave as well.

If you had asked any United fan about the future at this point, you would have gotten a reply full of optimism; well they were free to dream as not many foresaw the impending disaster coming the way of the club. The moment Ed Woodward took charge as the Vice President of the club, it seemed as if the football gods stopped smiling on Manchester United. One bad decision after another, one bad transfer after another, it was as if Pandora's box had been opened and all its contents poured out on the club.

Does the above narrative remind you of anyone? Of course, who else but United's greatest rivals - Liverpool.

Liverpool had enjoyed large amounts of success in the 70's and 80's and at that point they were the biggest and most successful club in England with the likes of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish and most clubs of that period were playing catch-up.

Just like United, they never expected the slump that followed the inception of the newly formed Premier League - a change from the old English Football League season. To this day, this is still their last League title but it seems that is about to change with the current happenings. This didn't come about by chance but by meticulous planning after the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) took over the club on October 6, 2010. After about 5 years of takeover, the result of their work was clear for everyone to see - they got one of the best Managers in the business on board in the person of Jurgen Klopp and this singular appointment has turned Liverpool from perpetual underachievers to the all-conquering juggernauts they are right now.

All this underlies the importance of having a management with well-laid out plans run a club and at the moment, Manchester United have no such thing. The sooner United get the management side of affairs correct, the sooner their return to the top; else it would be a case of Liverpool all over again.

It took Liverpool 30 years to get it right, with the way United are going, they might never get it right.

That's why we love football. Man u will continue to suffer for 50 yrs.
