Froggy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Real Madrid are a far bigger club than Man Utd. 10 more CL's and a lot more attractive to top players So Ajax are a bigger club than Man United, Inter, Juventus etc. Honours are not how you define how big a club is. And we literally beat Real to a player just this summer despite being one of our worst periods of the last 30 years. Far bigger FFS. Catch yourself on.

Using one player as an example, especially him is just How is it "" Just using the most recent example. I haven't seen the latest stats but up until very recently despite our struggles on the pitch we generated more revenue. Have a much bigger global fanbase. Real Madrid have a much lower average attendance than us despite their capacity being bigger. They're not bigger at all. Unless you're going solely on honours. In which case, Rangers > Real Madrid.

I don't see any metric where Man Utd are bigger. They've won 10 more CL's, not just 1 or 2. On Van de Beek, in his own words, "As you know I was around with Real Madrid and the clubs also had an agreement, but for some reason it did not go through. “Players who were going to leave, stayed and Madrid dropped out. Of course, you are annoyed at the beginning and you wonder if such a possibility will arise again." Doesn't sound like he chose Man Utd ahead of Real Madrid to me, the Real Madrid deal fell through and he settled for Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like he chose Man Utd ahead of Real Madrid to me, the Real Madrid deal fell through and he settled for Man Utd. See above for metrics. Bigger global fanbase, higher revenue the last 10 years despite finishing 6th and 7th. Real Madrid are regularly 10-15k short in their capacity. If they were as big as you say that would be sold out every week. We could upgrade our capacity to 100k and sell it out every week. That's the sign of being a bigger club.

So selling out your ground is the main metric of how big a club you are? Dortmund are the biggest club in the world then Also are you admitting now that you were lying when you said Van de Beek chose Man Utd ahead of Real Madrid?

Shearergol Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The biggest club in the world should really get a better manager then, no?

ponsaelius Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Even Liverpool are a bigger club than Man United. Hence double the European trophies. Man U just have an inflated position thanks to the work of whiskeynose in an era when the PL grew exponentially and managed to attract loads of glory hunters from places like Northern Ireland.

Real Madrid imo are bigger but not by much five of those champions leagues are a bit dodgy aswell Franco etc. I’d like to see how Real Madrid would be if they were owned by the Glazers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The whole Real Madrid and favouritism under Franco is exaggerated and non existent in relation to europe, were some instances of it happening domestically but still blown out of proportion. They had one of the greatest teams of all time in the late 50's/early 60's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t disagree although They were helped by some not great decisions in one of those finals, admittedly hard to say if it’s corruption. Still though Franco had a say in putting those teams together for example not allowing Puskad to sign for Barca Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
