If you genuinely asked us which approach we prefer, we'd take this one every day of the week. Woodward destroyed our standing in the market and his proteges were even worse. We'd end up paying £90m for this kid under the old regime.

Thing is, it’s not a strategic approach with some long-term big brain plan behind it, you just don’t have the money. It’s been stated several times in the press post Rat’s arrival that this is the case.  Rat is there to keep costs down and placate fan unrest. The Glazers have spent untold billions (like good owners do) and he’s there to tighten belts. All the signs are there. Low ball bids, trying to use media pressure to push prices down, asking for a free stadium. 
 

I’m baffled when I read links to top players on Sky Sports, for high prices. Top players don’t go to Man Utd for a start, and they can’t afford them. Maybe if you sell a high proportion of your top earners but that’s far easier said than done. No one in their right mind is buying such highly paid damaged goods. 
 

What Rat’s doing now, lowballing, Ashley did it with us, and we watched on as we missed out on key target after key target because he wouldn’t (couldn’t) pay the extra which set us back years. This started a chain reaction of dampening expectations, which has already begun with your lot. He also appointed incompetent people in positions of power who’d take the criticism and stand up for him (cough cough). 

 

Obviously the soup of delusion is thicker with your lot so it’ll take longer but we already see it with your fans being over the moon to win the FA Cup. But you finished 8th and are nowhere near being title challengers anymore.


You’re being overtaken by us and others, regularly get beaten by teams you would have brushed aside years ago, have a farcical media circus surrounding the club (mainly built up of ex players who don’t have the club’s best interests at heart). The football is just the worst. ten Hag had been sacked about ten times before you decided to give him a new contract. I couldn’t think of another club with a bigger gap between expectation and reality.

I fancy a stinker of a season for them. Ten Hag sacked in November and a temporary and/or poorly thought out replacement brought in to guide them to 10th. And one of their defenders to be caught on video skipping the queue at a petrol station before inquiring, "Do you know who I am?".

Southgate will join them during the season if he leaves England is my prediction. They clearly want him and will be available (free)

One of the Times writers made the point that if Southgate wins the Euros he'll probably want, and get, a crack at the next world cup. If he bombs out, does he really get a chance at a big club should ten Hag struggle?

 

Also, if ten Hag stays there and extends his contract, it's reported to be on emasculating terms - i.e. less say on transfers and also knowing his club were speaking to other candidates, which surely undermines him from the outset.

 

Just from the outside, it could be a right old mess [emoji38] Ah well, their mess if so. Mainly bothered about how we finish above them again next season.

Man U are really just 2 or 3 players, less injuries away from challenging top 4. 
 

Their biggest issue is attitude and Ten Hag.

Who better was available for them this summer? He's won two cups in two seasons.

He has, largely down to how the players have reacted on the day as opposed to Ten Hag. It would be lazy to say that they were gifted both trophies but, my god they’ve been fortunate.

 

The mindset that ETH has earned the right to stay is misplaced imo. I’m sure Man U wouldn’t be short of options. Then again, Brexit Jim might be a spanner in those works.

It’s actually amazing how shameless this guy has shown himself to be. 
 

Proper typical Brexiteer, he’s gotta be good mates with Dyson :lol:

 

 

UEFA has also increased its scrutiny of groups trading players among their teams if they play in the same competition and stopped Nice selling one to Manchester United, said Ratcliffe, declining to name them. 

“They’ve said we can sell him to another Premiership club, but we can't sell to Manchester United,” Ratcliffe said. “But that's not fair on the player and I don’t see what that achieves.”

 

:lol:

Just a thought aren’t most doing multi club don’t if the purpose is to evade FFP?

 

Don’t I basically want a related team outside of FFP scope to buy players for my day PL club and then just loan them from said club to my PL club? How do you calculate FMV on a loan? 

 

I don't think the primary purpose for any Multi Club model is to evade FFP, of course it would be a significant thought but not the driver.

 

You can hide/spread a lot of things across a group which financially would help FFP where needed, but authorities will get wise to it.

 

Player wise, the 2 main benefits are being able to get hold of young players in local leagues and bring them into the group to develop and then to move your younger players / those who need work permits around to help them develop

Said there were too many accountants at Man United. Specifically, that there were more accountants than sports people at the club. 

 

Agenda.

He’s whinging again. Is this all he does? How they dare enforce the rules on us. As if we have to pay for our own stadium! We wanted Newcastle’s sporting director than less than what they paid for him and they won’t give him to us, it’s just not fair! Next PL meeting should involve a unanimous vote to get this guy to shut his gob.

In general, I don't think its great when owner are regularly in the press talking about every thing, as it does come across as entitled. 

 

Our owners where like that when they first bought the club, but they quickly learnt that its better to take a back seat and let the people who they employ to do the talking, something Jim has failed to grasp yet.
