It’s fascinating how much weight legacy has in Football, and sport in general.
You look at United’s form, squad, etc Vs Brighton’s over the last few years, and wonder why any player, manager, new fan would want to choose the former over the latter.

Of course a lot of it is resources and finances, but if it weren’t for the weight legacy holds, that financial advantage wouldn’t exist.
Imagine how different and ever-changing the sporting world would be, and how quickly smaller clubs could scale up, if recent success held more weight to stakeholders than historic success does.
