It's compensation, it's a one off payment, not a regular salary. It won't count towards the wage increase limit.Anyone an opinion on where this leaves Man Utd and the Premier League rules on wage bill increases.
I've mentioned this before. Rule E18 and E19 in the Premier League rules allow a club to raise their wage bill by £7m pa or more if revenue uplift allows. We know they are on £7m prior to Mourinho's sacking and Duncan Castle is reporting that the compensation due to Mourinho is £18m minimum and possibly around £24m. Man Utd are estimating revenue increases of £25m this season. That puts them in trouble in my opinion, but I'm not an accountant.
Does anyone have a view on this? My argument was dismissed before because of the revenue but Mourinho's compensation is likely to eat into that in its entirety.
Strikes me at the very least that they are going to be unable to make significant player purchases in Janaury as a result, and may even need to sell players.

Shouldn't that read 3 bags of coke and a crisp tenner to snort it through to take their pain away?You seem to have glossed over the revenue that will come from the sale of Pogba which will surely be part of this clear out
Should buy at least 3 bags of crisps and a coke anyway :-)
I haven’t a clue really but just a thought. Maybe they aren’t paying the comp out in a lump sum but as monthly payments as they have reportedly done with Moyes.Anyone an opinion on where this leaves Man Utd and the Premier League rules on wage bill increases.
