Looks just in to me, but it is very, very close. Not the best angle for it either. You still have to defend the corner mind.

He's looked brilliant. Wouldnt mind him slotting into our midfield at all next season.

Saying De Gea was overrated is probably even worse than saying Scholes was to be honest.

Just the opposite with us now. If anything Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko are underrated.

Most big clubs are never forced to. I'd say that's historically true for many of them, even Newcastle.

I like net spend. I've even defended Liverpool on here with it. It's you lot who pick and chose when to use it.

Love how people on here saying about Liverpool spending £400m but when it's for their own benefit it turns to net spend. But aye, my point is how many failures under INEOS? Mind you people still use Pogba's fee in arguments so I imagine people will use Sancho and Antony for many years yet. People make mistakes. At least he clarified it.

I'll happily finish below you for a couple of seasons as long as we're heading up the table.

I didn't deny anything once you showed the video, I just mis-remembered exactly what he said, but knew that he meant cash, as he indeed clarified. Just a memory lapse from me is all. Anyone that thought Manchester United was going to fold, or indeed that Ratcliffe though that, needs their head checked.

Aye anything from £250k to £560k a week depending on who you believe.

Probably because it was a swap deal and wasn't a big money transfer, otherwise people would have been a lot more critical.

I'll go out on a limb and say our weekly wage budgets will be within £200/300k.

We've seen it all, we've won the lot.

And it will be less again next summer, feel free to quote and revisit.

The greatest one in all the land. Think INEOS/Amorim are doing a pretty good job in fixing the wages and getting rid of the arseholes from the club is all I'm saying. I don't know why we have to go back to horrific mistakes from previous management.

Completely understandable. We did the same mate. These competitions are great for the wee clubs.

I mean, have a look. The difference in our reported weekly payroll has halved over the last season or two and our two biggest earners are likely to leave the club next summer.

Why 5 years? Why not just under INEOS? Wouldn't that be more fair? When I bring up your spend since Saudi bought you, you all talk about Ashley and Bruce to justify it. So why the hypocrisy?

He did clarify. Obviously Man United aren't going bust. We were in danger of running out of cash though, as he clarified. And yes, the biggest club in the league had the third highest net spend* *that's if you don't include the sell-on fees for Elanga, Carreras etc. The Sancho fee from Chelsea, the £38m obligation for Hojlund and the almost certain £26m incoming for Rashford, which would bring the net spend down to £80m, less than Newcastle, Forest, Leeds, Sunderland, Everton etc. Again, our window was very modest.

I fancy you, but those odds for Spurs are insane.

Of course it's not debatable. I'm just making the point that people think we can spend what we like with no consequences when it isn't the case. We've sold players we've wanted to keep, and we borrow for cash flow.

Antony and Sancho are two horrible signings and arguably the worst in our history. Agreed. We paid £64m for Hojlund, and Napoli have an obligation to buy him for £38m after paying a £6m loan fee. He will be a PSR gain. If we go by transfer market we spent £220m this summer. We've sold Garnacho and Antony for around £60m. We've made £20m+ from sell on clauses and Sancho's penalty fee from Chelsea and we removed huge wages from the books with Rashford, Sancho, Hojlund, Lindelof, Onana, Evans, Eriksen, Garnacho and Antony all leaving the club. You've also got the almost certain future fees of Hojlund and Rashford for a further £65m to come in. If you work out the total transfers in + wages vs. the tranfers out + wages, it's actually a fairly modest spend for such a big club. He didn't say we'd go bust by the way, he said we'd run out of cash. Huge difference.

We have to sell well to balance the books, same as you. McTominay, Garnacho etc. Our wage bill is getting closer as well, and next summer I would guess it will be quite similar when there's a strong chance Casemiro and Bruno will both go. Our financial situation isn't as good as people seem to think.

How far are you going back? I think our transfer record has been pretty decent lately but despite being a commercial behemoth we've still had to sell quite a few assets.
