United Thread - 2022/23

[andyhinch]

PSG were bought for around £50m if my google sources are correct
We were bought for £210m
Newcastle £305m

Good investments and the clubs will all be worth a lot more now

Would be hard to say the same when a club is valued at 5 or 6 billion!

Also how much do the united fans who are wanting new owners want to spend in the transfer market? Given that they’ve spent well over a billion in the past year and not get very far with it

I’m sure I’ve just seen 8 Billion quoted on SSN nearly spat my brew out.

6 to 8 billion for what. Run down old dump with a shit training base.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It's dead. The UK gov won't let British clubs join, Germany is out and PSG bet on UEFA.

Barca, Real and Juve are on their own.


And if you think the new CL format is anything like the superleague the Glazers and FSG want, you've not been paying attention. They need a ringfenced league without relegation, that's what drives the huge profits and inflation of club values in the NBA & NFL.

The Super League is also dead because there is no real appetite for it among supporters, even amongst most of the clubs that would be ‘eligible’, Barca and Real apart.

That was the biggest error of judgement by the main protagonists.

Their successful academy must be worth a mint ?
A polo mint.
Kin Joke of a club Andy. Full of self importance and over inflated value.

1 day.

1 whole fucking day after it is announced CR37 has parted ways with TWGC (can someone show me how to do the small raised 'TM'?), and now he is sanctioned for slapping and breaking a kids phone at Goodison about a year ago?

It's almost as if he has lost his cloak of invincibility - unbelievable.............!

His act was disgraceful and showed him up for the petulant and frustrated has been he has now become.
The timing of the ban is laughable given the span of time since the incident.
I’m almost inclined to let him off the two games given the shit show he has constructed.
The one and only comedy club is alive and kicking.

I'll donate 5p if I can have the curly-wurly.

What?Are you living in the 80s a curly wurly is at least 10p now

There's no chance whatsoever that any UAE/Dubai sovereign wealth fund would buy United, zip zero nada.

As much as it takes to buy success.
If they and City have spent £1.5 billion over the past 10-12 years and the Glazers taken a similar amount, then their fans want owners who would have spent £3 billion on the team under the same circumstances.
They bought almost all their success in the PL era (as did City, Arsenal, Chelsea etc) and don't like it when other clubs can equal their spending.

A bidding war? 11p then.....

I don't think that's on. We need the Curly Wurly as a bribe to Andy Mitten

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

And we all know that all of those demands will go out of the window if they think they’re going to win anything. Just like the protests against the Glazers stop every summer when they spend shitloads of money and then start again a month or two later when they realise they’ve bought dross. Someone needs to recreate that Liverpool boom and bust cycle graph with one showing the likelihood of a rags protest.

As shallow as fuck, a fan group managing the rags. with zebra pants as their spokesman ?

BBC Gossip column today is a Rag special !! F**K they are desperate for headlines and shameless PR.

Has footballs profit margin been saturated? Is the bubble bursting?

some wonder if football's profit margin is not so much the result of ancient pools of rotting vegetation but rather it seeps up from the center of the earth as a result of enormous pressure and heat

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Andy Mitten was on R5L chatting with chappers regarding the shit...roughly said...

"It's about time FFP was properly enforced, and clubs with deep pockets can't manipulate the system just because they have deep pockets and hire the best lawyers"

These rag fan " experts " demonstrate that they have fuck all idea of what is actually going on.

But to mention clubs " with deep pockets ......who manipulate the system " is pure hypocrisy as there is no club who gets's more favouable treatment and scope manipulate the system to from the football authorities than this rancid club !

What about FFP ignoring debt Andy ?

Which club benefits from this ?

Hypocritical cunts of the highest order.

Luke Shaw would be up for that….

England FA doctors have revealed Luke Shaw has contracted a life threatening chronic flesh eating disease in Qatar.
Doctors estimate he only had 63 years left to live.

We are partly owned by…..Newton Investments, not ADUG any more. I still dont know whether ADUG has just changed its name or has transferred the CFG assets to Newton, leaving ADUG with other assets.

From the CFG website, maybe we should send this to all the media so they understand who it is that owns City

CFG is majority owned by Newton Investment and Development LLC, with significant minority shareholdings held by Silver Lake (14.54%) and China Media Capital (CMC) Consortium (8.24%). From 23rd September 2008 until December 2015, City Football Group was wholly owned by ADUG, a private investment and development company belonging to His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. From 25 July 2021, CFG’s ultimate parent undertaking is Newton Investment and Development LLC, a company registered in Abu Dhabi and also wholly owned by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.​

The BBC are delighted to be able to produce yet another rag special, as they are their an vital part of their clickbait strategy.

BBC Sports minus the rags and dippers = fuck all interest from the general public.

 

[KentBlue]

I know I'm an old cynic but I just don't think the Glazers have any intention of selling up: this is a PR exercise, nothing more. The Ladyboy, with his posturing and Hollywood-style tantrums, has brought negative publicity to the rags and they need some kind of distraction while there's no Premier League football. What better way than this to shift the attention?
Add to it all some vague gesturing about signing Mbappe and Bellingham and everyone will have forgotten all about the preening ponce and the shambolic end to his return to the rags.

There would be little/no point, as they don't want accuracy or truth, as that doesn't help their agenda.

Better to persue the lies as it attracts more bigotted, ignorant and stupid readers/listeners.
