I absolutely hate Liverpool but that's mainly because of the rancid little cunts that support them, however, said hatred pales in comparison to how I feel about the rags. I hate Ferguson, I hate Ronaldo, I hate their kit, I hate their ground, I hate the bloke that sells the programmes, I hate the Chinese tourists in the club shop, I hate the tea lady.
Bit harsh on the tea lady mate.
She got sacked a couple of months back.
 
People talk like sacking the tea lady was a big thing. Pretty sure after they were relegated by you lot that they blamed and sacked the coach driver. It is the united way.
 
No one asking the question why have they lost so much money?

Manchester United have reported significant financial losses over the last three seasons, totaling approximately £300 million in net losses. Here's a breakdown based on available data:

- **2021-22 Season**: Net loss of £115.5 million.[](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-22/man-united-s-losses-deepen-due-to-poor-form-on-football-pitch)[](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-financial-results-debt-28054617)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3618611/2022/09/22/manchester-united-financial-results/)
- **2022-23 Season**: Net loss of £28.7 million.[](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12675451/Manchester-United-announce-record-revenues-650m-season-50m-shaved-wage-bill-Glazers-dont-dividend-club-debts-static-538m.html)
- **2023-24 Season**: Net loss of £113.2 million.[](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c07e42ryd0po)[](https://sports.yahoo.com/revealed-manchester-united-suffer-huge-120200955.html)

These figures sum to roughly £257.4 million in net losses over the three seasons. However, Manchester United themselves stated in response to fan groups that the club lost over £300 million in the past three years, indicating additional costs or adjustments (such as pre-tax losses or exceptional items) may contribute to the higher reported total.[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13295399/manchester-united-finances-in-focus-after-club-reveals-300m-losses-over-past-three-years)[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13295399/manchester-united-finances-in-focus-after-club-reveals-gbp300m-losses-over-past-three-years)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6084108/2025/01/23/manchester-united-psr-cash-losses/)

Factors contributing to these losses include:
- High wage bills, peaking at £384.2 million in 2021-22.[](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-financial-results-debt-28054617)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/3618611/2022/09/22/manchester-united-financial-results/)
- Significant transfer spending, with over £600 million spent on players in recent seasons.[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13295399/manchester-united-finances-in-focus-after-club-reveals-300m-losses-over-past-three-years)
- Absence from the Champions League, reducing broadcasting revenue (e.g., a 20.4% drop in 2024-25 Q1).[](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/13261020/man-utd-champions-league-absence-hits-as-premier-league-club-report-gbp6-9m-loss-for-first-quarter-of-financial-year)
- Exceptional costs, such as £47.8 million related to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority stake acquisition in 2023-24.[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5759800/2024/09/11/manchester-united-financial-results-2023-24/)
- Long-term debt interest payments and a revolving credit facility, with net debt at £731.5 million in 2023-24.[](https://sports.yahoo.com/article/manchester-united-financial-mismanagement-closer-193000700.html)

Despite record revenues of £661.8 million in 2023-24, poor on-pitch performance and high operational costs have driven these losses. The club remains compliant with Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) through allowable deductions (e.g., for youth development and women’s football), but they’ve acknowledged a risk of breaching PSR in the future without further cost-cutting.[](https://sports.yahoo.com/revealed-manchester-united-suffer-huge-120200955.html)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5759800/2024/09/11/manchester-united-financial-results-2023-24/)[](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6084108/2025/01/23/manchester-united-psr-cash-losses/)
that last line "but they’ve acknowledged a risk of breaching PSR in the future without further cost-cutting."....so after sacking 450 staff in the last 18 months they spend 200m+ lol
 
He has better stats than Wilson had, he has the ability to look shit without being as shit as people think he is.

That's a great skill in and of itself.
Jackson is much much worse than the much maligned Raheem Sterling. Headless chickens with pace are ten-a-penny. Wilson was injured too much.
 
Those PIK loans are still somewhere.

A deep dive into that clubs finances would be interesting!
Buried under the heading nothing to see here.
Utd will never go bust and will never get relegated.
The FA, UEFA and the Premier League will see to that.
They should have been fined heavily and deducted double digit points by now for the shitshow they call running a club but they are untouchable.
Look at the fine from UEFA, the British press was falling over themselves to be the first to say it was a minor fine.

Something we have to live with. This is one of the reasons I believe this 115 bollocks is taking so long, Something has been unearthed about these lot and maybe others that is snide.

We saw the rise of Raz and the decline of Raz, you're right injuries played a part in Wilsons career but that should all be taken into account when a team buys a player.

Average players cost too much these days, football is awash with wastage IMHO.

The tea lady was a victim of scruffy Jim's redundancy protocols. No reason to dislike her any longer.
 
Question lads. Do you dislike United or Liverpool more? I'm a Gooner and should dislike Sp*rs but I can say with absolute certainty that I dislike Liverpool more than Tottenham.
Always hate utd whatever division we was in.
Hate the scousers but not as much but the Liverpool connections in the media and these nobheads on social media and YouTube they make my blood boil plus the press having a hard on for both the red mardarses and it gets quite nauseating.
But bless little Liverpool though, how much has it cost them to win 2 titles in 35 years?
 
€85m for a striker with 14 in 31 and 13 in 33 in the Bundesliga the last 2 seasons.

Marmoush finished above him in the goalscoring charts in Germany and he left in January.

Mental money for an average player, he's better than Hojlund but who the fuck isn't?
The new Gary Birtles who had a building named after him UMIST

Hate is a big word, but it's not Big enough towards how I feel about the scum
