Love Froggy and his input but given he seems to know every intricate detail of all the financial deals, wages, pay offs, etc with Manu either, a) he’s speculating or quoting someone who’s widely speculating or, b) Manu is possibly one of the leakiest clubs in the world. 
 

No one can simply look ‘at the published expenditure’ and then accurately workout what each individual  player is earning. And if during negotiations players requests are leaked to the press at every juncture the club is gonna become a pariah.

It's all from strong sources, and yes we are one of the leakiest clubs in the world. 

 

Obviously you can't work out each individual wage from the entire wage expenditure, but it's fairly easy to piece together when there are numerous reports from tier 1 sources about what each players wage is. 


It’s the same at most clubs - their fans keep a very close eye on all news as well as having personal contacts. If you do it long enough you get a feel for what’s most likely true, what’s most likely bullshit and what’s most likely a party line being fed to somebody. I don’t generally have the foggiest idea what’s going on at any club bar Spurs, but I’d back myself to make a fair call on the likely truthiness of most “news” about us.

Regarding the Glazer vs Ashley discussion in the other thread.

 

No need to compare them, both of them are/were leeches draining the soul out of the club. Thats all that matters.

I would pity Man Utd fans if most of them weren't such entitled bastards.

And despite Newcastle fans having extreme delusions of grandeur, I did pity them during Ashley's reign.

PIF showed we werent delusional. All it took was someone able who could afford PSR losses to make us a better club than Man u.

Yeah I really dont get the delusional part.

None of us thought we were as big as Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal. But about the same level as Villa, Everton and Spurs. And looking at both the Premier League and the total English football history that seems about right I think.

Yeah mental when the mackems call us deluded too. We spent the Ashley era saying we should be 5th-7th sort of area. First 3 full seasons without Ashley that’s exactly what we did.

The idea we're deluded has always been the laziest nonsense, always known anyone who says it is not to be taken seriously on football. (know Froggy just on wind up).

 

Athletic just published a 'end of season satisfaction' survey. We've come 5th and won the Carabao Cup and are joint with Forest for most satisfied - more satisfied than champions Liverpool. 96% very satisfied and 3.5% satisfied. (Though I'm very curious about the 0.3% of 'very unsatisfied' :lol: probably the prick in front of me last game).

Sancho returning, Rashford returning, Fernandez and Casimiro staying put. Massive wages with three of the four looking to be quite happy to run their contracts down it seems. They're going to have to get their skates on and sell a few, if Cunha and Mbuemo are incoming.  Mbuemo wanting £250.000 per week also :bluestar:

Name a single senior Manchester United player that has improved under Amorim? Look at what Eddie did here with Joelinton in a similar time frame. Or Schar or even Shelvey lifted his game.

Schar was always class. That waste of air Bruce not seeing it doesn’t change that. Shelvey was a lazy twat who Eddie binned first real opportunity be had to do so.

Has Amorim ever called the ownership out?

 

Has mentioned about how the cuts are brutal but otherwise has had no reason to call INEOS out so far. He's apparently quite close with upper management and is fully backed for the rebuild.

So if Bruno F stays, what's the set up of that front three?

 

                Cunha

 

Bruno F              Mbeumo

 

Something like that? Or does Bruno F drop into one of the CM roles with Cunha on the left and a specialist CF?
