r0cafella Posted Tuesday at 22:55 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:55 Given Man United low ball offers previously I can’t see it being very much at all. Why would they move a lot knowing we had FFP issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine there was a meeting somewhere in the middle, I'm sure they really didn't want to wait another year to have a key member of their rebuild in place.

Dr Jinx Posted Tuesday at 23:10 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:10 Honestly, who gives a shit at this point. They won’t disclose it and it will just be a point scoring bullshit that’s a massive waste of time. Let them think they got one over on us.. let us think we had them over a barrel. Most important thing is that rat isn’t associated with us anymore. Time to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various reports indicating the deal was agreed on Friday aka when we had our FFP issues. The only way they paid us a decent amount was if it was after the cut off. lesson learnt hopefully.

Optimistic Nut Posted Wednesday at 05:13 Share Posted Wednesday at 05:13 Not really bothered how much we got in the end. I'm pleased we played hardball and they had to wait 4 and a half months to get him in the end. They'll have just been expecting us to go "oh, here you go, take him, you're the legendary Manchester United". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me a bit worried, but financially them bringing in Tah and selling De Ligt makes a lot of sense so hopefully the deal goes ahead. They were unanimous in that they'd rather Upamecano left than De Ligt, but Upamecano is on €120k less a week and on a shorter contract so is less of a financial burden.

Joelinton7 Posted Wednesday at 12:14 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:14 (edited) Mike Ashley clone. Wants to run it as a business (a low cost business) and not a football club.

Froggy Posted Wednesday at 12:15 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:15 "At 1,112 as of June 30 last year, United had by far the biggest staff of any club in the Premier League. That number is considerably higher than all of their Big Six rivals, with Liverpool having around 1,005 employees, Chelsea 788, Tottenham 719, Arsenal 649 and Manchester City 520, according to each club’s latest figures."

Wew. I put it to you that vastly overpaying on players who have generally flopped for the last ten years has cost you far more money than Yusuf, Gregg and Imogen who work in accounts/catering/maintenance. Cutting local jobs, great way to endear yourself Jimmy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Ratcliffe invest more in us in his first month than Ashley did in 14 years at Newcastle? I know everyone is trying to compare the two with the desperate hope we'll get worse, but they aren't comparable. If we have nearly double the staff of our rivals, surely that's something that needs looked at? Or does nobody want to admit that's what good business owners do?

That’s fine if that was the only example. There has been plenty examples so far of lowball offers, move on to next target, lowball again, try to get a player on the cheap from nice coz he part owns them, stops staff working from home, repeatedly goes on tv and embarrasses himself with lies and outrageous comments about the ‘big 6’ and begging his government pals for tax payers money to build a new stadium and surrounding areas. If all this was done by the Glazers and not the shiney new Ineos you’d be getting the green & yellow scarf back out and you know it Edited Wednesday at 12:29 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
