Very late response here - didn’t know the answer at the time of the initial post. But yes - what’s been described in the press is correct c. £20m p.a. Just the shirt.

Jackie Broon Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think there have already been similar cases in other sports that have been found to be anti-competitive IIRC. But I don't think that will necessarily change anything in relation to the ESL. It collapsed because our government said they would bring in legislation to prevent English clubs from joining (which essentially acknowledged that the rules as they are wouldn't be likely to stand up to challenge) and it's not going to be viable without the English clubs.

And then theres other sports...it would result in chaos. Yeah, can see them winning the initial decision and being granted a legal mandate. They're still going to meet the same resistance the first try did though. The English teams are never going to be able to join, and without them the value of a 'Super League' drops drastically. There's a reason why the American owners of Man U and Liverpool are now looking for a way out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Let's just say they did. Theyd have to sell the club 1st and as we've seen that can take nearly 2 years. Of course the PL would waive through our sale to any old cunt without a thought, but for them to buy one of the big guys without upsetting the rest, it's easier to kick it down the road like they did with us, and they would use our sale as a way to do it. Manure and Liverpool are running scared. They know the Saudis aren't messing around and their biggest fear is they've got competent staff in to run the show and spent the money. It's their worst nightmare and it could quite easily be made worse if anyone else wants to challenge. Villa have the backing financially, probably aren't as smart as we are behind the scenes, but they could easily establish themselves 5-6th and with us that could push a lame duck like manure out of Europe all together. The glazers are Ashley on steroids. Theyll make a fortune and rid themselves of all the hassle. It'll be interesting to see who owns them next, same with Liverpool, but these clubs are high maintenance and whoever comes in needs unlimited cash to keep up with citeh and possibly another if both clubs are sold to high level investors. You could.ve buying a club for 4bn, spending 2bn over 5 years, win nothing and only finish 3rd. Spend a bn in total on us and finish 3rd and its a massive success.

Being devil's advocate, couldn't they just hand their share over to the Reubens and PCP if they wanted a quick exit? If the really did want Man U the amount they would be writing off would be peanuts compared to the cost of buying Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start the Reuben's are not interested in being full owners (they're in it for the expansion/improvements) and PCP do not have the money to invest into the club.

Keegans Export Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think the Reubens are rich in assets rather than cash too so they aren't really in a position to pump a load of money in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The position we're in now we could easily be a self-sustaining top half club if PIF walked, no need for a load more money being pumped in.
