Me neither, I read their projected wage bill is close to £400m with revenues of £500, is that correct @Prestwich_Blue
That's largely correct. Their wage bill for the first quarter of the financial year (to Sep 2021) was just under £90m so they're on course for a full year figure around £375m (as I assume any bonuses will come through in the last quarter), plus they've had to pay Noddy off.

Their cashflow statement is interesting as it's the first financial report for a while where everything has been back to normal and all the normal revenue streams, including matchday, are coming through. But even so, they spent around £12m more than they generated, the vast majority of that £12m being dividends.

Also their total debt is just under £1bn (£950m), including financial debt of £638m (loans and other credit facilities) and purchase commitments of £310m, of which £209m is transfer fees. The rest will be trade and other creditors. So adding up financial debt and transfer fees, they're in debt to the tune of £850m.

They also have potential additional transfer liabilities of just under £130m, if all the contingent clauses in contracts are met. If those include fees for winning things though, they're probably safe to disregard that.

That kind of top level pressure works its way down the organisation. I know it’s what we all want to hear but when the wheels come off things like this they come off fast. Very fast
 
Am I going mad or are these people being genuine with their excitement? They were shocking again and barely got over the line against a mid table club in a broke league.
Sancho was always gonna score eventually but my god you would swear a giant awoke.
 
Beating second rate/Europa league standard sides is as good as it’ll get for them this season
When they play the top teams it turns into a training session it’s that easy
I expect something similar on Sunday

In previous seasons under Ole they took the odd big scalp but can’t see it happening this year
 
So utd are supposed to have had a FIVE hour long board meeting to come up with a plan to sack a shit manager they already knew they shouldn't have given the job to in the first place. And to replace him with his assistant?

The first 4 hours were taken up with item 1 on the agenda…. more dividends to prop up the ailing Glazier shopping mall empire !

The fuckers probably spent a good 2 hours arguing what to order for their takeaway,
”right lads this is the last time hands up for Indian or Chinese “.. “No Ed I’ve told you already we’ve had enough of Kentucky fried chicken it’s every board meeting we have that “.
 
Rags being interviewed on SSN

apparently there is a Christmas transfer window!

Who knew?

Cheque book out again… they live in a 1990s paradigm where they hoarded the best players in the league to win titles… but the world has moved on but they continue to overpay for average players in a vain attempt to look relevant. Long may it continue…
