The Manchester United Thread

On the footy side of things.
I think we’re confident we are not going to get relegated. So we are going to run a lean squad for the rest of the season and look to save a good £10m-£30m in wages (Rashford, Antony, Casemiro in an ideal world) and maybe sell the likes of Garnacho to raise another £50m+ on top of that.

Then if we can shift more in the summer and with a few of the free transfers coming off the wage bill we should actually be in quite a solid position going forward with a lean squad ready to be added to in the key positions and in all likelihood sadly no European football unless by some minor miracle we win the Europa of FA Cup. which should give Amorim some really quality time on the training pitch to implement his ideas.
 
This would be a fantastic signing

So you think running the club with a bloated workforce is good business! Even you said yourself it was a joke the amount of staff the club had.

Yes he has taken away some 'piviledges' which have upset people yet you don't become a billionaire without upsetting a few people along the way.

Yes he has been heavy handed at times but things needed to change. The club is in a terrible state but that isn't the fault of Sir Jim (personally I felt he was a mug to even negoitiate with the Glazers for the share he got but that's by the by). If anything he has finally laid bare the true status of the club which had been papered over by the 'noodle deals' of Woodward et al.

Too many people associated with the club (fans included) have been ignoring the facts, loyalty strangely enough does not pay bills, sometimes being cruel in the short term brings long term benefits. Better a few upset workers and fans than no club which would probably have been the case (and may well still be) if changes weren't made. The debt is spiralling and if the club isn't careful it will go the way of Blackpool, Burnley, and several other clubs (including Citeh prior to the oil money) and become a former big name.

In an ideal world the Qatari bid would have won, the club would have been free of debt and the deadwood would be gone this didn't happen instead the Spams are still milking the club whilst letting someone else take the flack for trying to sort out the problems they created. If you can't see this with your rose coloured socialist Scouse specs then how do you expect anyone else to.

Sound with him paying big transfer fees and wages on utter *****, extending a manager he bought that ***** for and having to pay him off even more, the same with a SD aye? Tell me again how that differs to the Glazers?

Cry me a F river about absolute pittance from normal people having to be shaved off. The £50 steward of the match bonus will make a big dent in the debt. I see your point. The richest man in the land has to hit the peasants,

Seriously mate, GTF defending the despicable S/house and INEOS. Who have been no different from the Glazers.

I feel for Amorim and the genuine Utd fans who are having to deal with the repercussions of his lies.

If he goes for the asking price it would be more palatable for him going to another English club but only if it is the highest bid. If a foreign side matches the quoted price then it's a different matter. The club has had far too many recent young players (and a couple of older one McT being one such) going for below what they are worth only to prove their value and ability elsewhere. A sell on clause would also be nice but I can't see that happening. That said he is far to inconsistent currently plus his progress seems to have stalled somewhat in the last 12 months probably due to having his 'head' turned and his ego 'massaged'

Yeah that’s another issue we are suffering from the Glazer Woodward reign. To many players on to higher wage making us having to except low transfer fees to get rid

The TV, used to go through tactics before kick-off, was caught as collateral and will require fixing before the Rangers game on Thursday. [via

Disappointment in the cup for the women 2-1 loss to City. Absolute disaster class from Skinnar. Spank City at the weekend. Oh I know it’s the quarter final of the cup and I will drop all my key players and play players out of position 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

No body is defending him, just pointing out economic facts, but as you clearly don't understand how real businesses are run then there is no point arguing.

Incidently comparing an all Premiership tie with a tie involving a Premiership club versus a Championship club doesn't really make your point. Especially when normal Plymouth tickets only cost £27 so a £2 increase for one game is effectively charging 10% extra just for the priviledge. You think Manchester United tickets are expensive the next five, yes five United away game tickets start from: £79 (Fulham), £113 (Steaua Bucuresti), £97 (Spurs), £98 (Everton) and finally £248 (LEICESTER CITY) now who's fans are getting fleeced! Yes I have looked up the prices before you ask.

That whole post does what your first line say’s it doesn’t. But regardless, I am curious how 30 note capped away PL tickets (You’re welcome), are 3 times that?
