But if everyone moves up together, you're no closer to the holy grail of European football than you were when you started. As rich as the Prem is, there's still only 4 CL places and 3 EC ones. And no matter how rich you are, the top players still want to play in Europe.

Honestly, it doesn't bother me. Of course it'd be nice to know what it's like to win something big but really my idea of a good season is a top half finish, playing good football, taking some big scalps along the way (mainly Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea) and a decent cup run. Yeah, losing your best players is frustrating but I'd say that frustration is just part of being a WH fan. Remember the club song has the lines "fortunes always hiding"and, "just like my dreams they fade and die". I'll take that over the triumphalism of "glory glory man utd" all day long.
