There's conflicting reports. Some said £2m initially, then I think in December there was some noise about £5m and the lower figure being used by Man Utd sources for a PR win. The £4.1m figure indicates to me that it doesn't include the comp Man Utd paid to us. He had 18 months gardening leave at Newcastle, so presumably a 18 month notice period, and an annual salary of £1.5m. Assuming similar structure at Man Utd that would put his total cost at: £0.75m 6 months base salary £2.25m PILON £0.40m E'er NI =£3.4m total cost to Man Utd excluding comp to Newcastle I would assume he received a significant pay rise when moving to Man Utd to bridge the gap to £4.1m. Of course there could've been a negotiated settlement to allow him to return to work earlier for a smaller notice period pay off but I doubt he's in any rush to get another job. The Daily Mail reporter claiming his sources say it includes the comp paid to Newcastle only appears to report on Man Utd, so his sources would be questionable at best given the £2m vs. £5m ambiguity. The truth is that none of us really know. It's guesswork at best and sources on both sides are dodgy due to how publicly it played out.

Especially with the clubs he mentioned Man Utd - Owen was a free transfer, Dubravka was a loan. Must be on about Andy Cole in 1995? Real Madrid - Woodgate in 2003? Man City - Given in 2009?

Christ. They're really waiting for charges to stop playing Partey after the police handed over the files to the CPS earlier this week?

Balding cunt ref neds to shave his head like the rest of the follically challenged pricks.

The handball rules, at least for when your hands are by your side, are pretty clear now aren't they? Only handball if the same player scores directly after. Unless there's any other situations I'm missing?

We never used to talk about minutes added on? If anything we talk about it less without 'Fergie time'.

His left leg uses a normal running motion, never coming more than about 6 inches off the ground. His right leg comes up a foot and a half then back down on Schar, seemed pretty clear to me.

Now playing the victim card? Can't take this guy seriously.

Thought about actually typing a real response but I don't think I need to

Care to post a picture of yourself?

Ah I wasn't aware that he wasn't putting any more money in. Did do a quick search but couldn't find anything about it. The Glazer's must have diluted upon his initial $200m investment so would expect them to be open to discussions around it. However, if they keep just spunking the investment up the wall, diluting the Glazer's holding whilst the market cap doesn't show any improvement then I'd imagine they'd put an end to it sooner or later either way

Personally, I'm not going to blame him for cocking up a chance he created entirely himself by chasing down a lost ball.

Looking at their latest accounts, it appears that Ratcliffe's investment was issuance of new shares as opposed to a shareholder loan. They can continue to pump in additional cash as equity without incurring any additional interest costs - as long as the Glazer's are happy to continue diluting at least. Their main issue on FFP is that they actually do pay commercial interest rates on their bank loans which hits their bottom line.

On here that makes sense, but was browsing the BBC Sports page earlier and it had a headline about Guehi and Palace but nothing about the other guy.

Why is the guy who did wear the armband under more fire than the guy who didn't wear it at all?
