Your missing the point, ultimately if he sold the club for more than he put in plus what he paid he made a profit. his investment created a return.

Sassuolo create a lot of chances for him and given his ball retention and hold up play leave a lot to be desired, I worry about him being isolated. He's actually a player I was hoping we'd target, but I wouldn't want to pay much more than €25 million for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 1 hour ago, Manxst said: Yeah. But it means they have extra cash to play with (as already stated, the Europa league isn’t the best for cash income, no matter how far they went) instead of building their own place or renovating their last stadium. No its not CL rewards, but they did get half a Scamacca for the EL so its something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t done the maths but in pretty sure it was profitable It was losing over £1m a week, I think? Their last accounts showed a £145m loss, despite winning the CL, and the accounts declared they were only able to keep going due to money being ploughed in directly by Abramovich via another company. He was losing money massively. The club was sold for more than he paid, yes, but overall he lost over a billion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the other thread it’s interesting because the athletic had named him as one of our top targets, if it’s 30 million then I would have thought we would have gone for him. Suggests we have other things lined up maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is he could have agreed with some other club before going public with his desire to leave, just like what Lewa did. Apparently he assumed clubs would be lining up for his service. Even if he realized now that Man United is his only option, it would be too embarrassing to just walk back to the training and be like :” Hey guys”.
