The Changing Times
Players Making For The Exit
The departure of Peter Schmeichel was supposed to be a big change for the club and many people wondered how they would get by, but they were not fazed by him leaving as they won 2 consecutive titles without his aid. However in the 2001-02 campaign United lost a lot of their experienced players who had managed to hold the team together, such as Jaap Stam, Dwight Yorke and by the end of it Dennis Irwin, these players were instantly missed and their replacements were not sparkling as Ferguson had hoped with the exception of Ruud Van Nistelrooy as he managed 23 goals in 32 games, with this lack of experience and skill United crashed to 3rd in the league their worst finish in the Premier League so far. The next big player to leave and was instantly missed was David Beckham after losing his place on the right of midfield after recovering from injury, and the various altercations with Ferguson David Beckham was eventually sold to Spanish giant Real Madrid and the very next season United finished 3rd in the league this was a rough time for United finishing 3rd for another year and 2nd in another United did have an immediate replacement for Beckham however in Cristiano Ronaldo who was young and not yet ready to make the huge impacts that Beckham did. Chelsea Super Spending Power
Another big change was the takeover of Chelsea in 2003 when Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich bought them and began funding the club, he has since given them what they needed and who they need players and managers, as soon as Mourinho was appointed in 2004, well 'The Special One' instantly made an impact guiding Chelsea to their first title in 50 years and United finished a dissapointing 3rd for a second consecutive season. The Glazers
City the New Super Power?
Also on the idea of takeovers, an unpredictable take over of Manchester City by Abu Dhabi has happened and City are the new money driven side in the Premier League but will they emulate Chelsea's success or will they fail I'm unsure I'll let you argue that one out. This Years Fixtures
