Any takeover doesn’t magically alter revenue, sales or the players already at the club. They would perhaps fix the wreck that is Old Trafford mind. I think it does changes things though, whatever the Glazers currently take out in dividends and also spend on interest payments will go towards transfers. That will be a decent amount No idea how much it is specifically, maybe @Froggy knows?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I know Leeds were a basketcase at times but I honestly thought Koch was one of the worst players I've ever seen in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a decent amount No idea how much it is specifically, maybe @Froggy knows?? They take £20-£23m out every season in dividends. They were very kind to only take £11m out when covid had devastated the accounts, but then took £33m out the following year anyway. Over the last 10 years I think the interest works out around £50m a season. They took out another loan over Covid rather than put any money in and we're still paying it as an external debt as well and it has averaged about £35m over the last couple of seasons. They've also paid themselves management fees around £25m from the club accounts and paid themselves director fees worth £55m (12 directors, 6 Glazers) over the last 10 years. They take a lot out of the club. It was looked at extensively by Swiss Ramble last season and in August last year it was estimated that they've cost the club £1.6b since they took over. If we were bought by someone who cleared the debts, we could do a Boehly in the summer, but I don't think the squad needs it. A striker, midfielder, centre back and a goalkeeper would do rightly.

Then I'm going to be raging when he signs for Villa or Spurs. FFP is really fucking us over. Agree, the Maddison links are not that exciting to me because I want Szoboszlai more.

I'd be delighted with either. Szoboszlai definitely has a higher ceiling but he's a massive risk for the proposed outlay, more so when you have a cheaper guarantee.

Do you think the Qatari bid is legit? Weren’t they invited into the process by the Raine group as more or less a stalking horse to get Ratcliffe to keep upping his offer even though he’s possibly the only show in town? I might be wrong but something just seems a bit off about their part in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
