Absolutely this. Armers says Lingard (among others) was institutionalised, which is true but it is not just the players that came through the system. We provide the same benevolent service for players who’ve run their course at other clubs and pay them top whack to please themselves when they deem themselves fit enough to turn up, train or God forbid, even play. Part of the problem when you have distant, disinterested owners. The manager struggles to exercise discipline and has no backup from above. Every manager since Ferguson has suffered because of it.
