Don't you think we could and can afford our heavy fines whereas United are in just a bit of financial trouble at the moment.Yes asked before for comparison but not getting one. Guess it depends on the amounts involved and they will argue Covid mitigation but we would argue new rules new club at the top table heading in the right directions.
Also should be dependent on revenue small clubs small fines that clearly not the case here but don’t know exactly how much United earn now or us back then.
The word minor is in quotation marks though tbf. This indicates to me that it is open to question...The Rag Cunts are BBC United - Mediacity just had to put 'minor' into the headline. And repeat it again in the first paragraph. BBC United FFP sportswahing at it's finest.

The real issue for me is exactly that ! United are the only premier league team who broke the rules during covid when every side lost huge income due to empty grounds ! They have £850m of dept now, owe £200m in outstanding transfer fees and for the first time I can remember have had to work to a transfer budget ! They have not attracted any significant new sponsership deals in over 2 years ! I think theve got bigger finance problems then the media and themselves are making out ! The Glazere are demanding £6b if they sell the club and are only getting offers from interested parties of about £5b because to clear the dept is going to cost them the thick end of another £1b before they can even begin to throw cash at anything else ! To quote Mr Simon Jordon United's unofficial press officer "They have incredible commercial income due to the historic and unrivaled history of being the biggest club in the world ". Well Simon why have they just failed to meet FFP ? they have debts that are becoming unmanageable ! They posting income of £630m last year their dept is £850m and rising they owe £200m to other clubs I'm no financial expert but if you have debts of over £1b in total compared to income of £630m ?? They service the loan dept of £850m by paying of of the yearly interest rates so the dept increase each year rather like paying the minimum payment of a credit card each month. The media can spin what they like this club has bigger problems they are prepared to admit.Don't you think we could and can afford our heavy fines whereas United are in just a bit of financial trouble at the moment.
Historically they have not had to worry about servicing their massive debt so its only right we should understand this and help them get back to pretending that only investment is a crime.
Just wait until the try to re-finance the debt, interest rates across the world are much higher now, they'll sink under this, could even go bust!The real issue for me is exactly that !

Nah Grenadier Jim will buy them out, get a load if grants, pay off all the debt. Sell the ground and move it to France. True patriot.Just wait until the try to re-finance the debt, interest rates across the world are much higher now, they'll sink under this, could even go bust!
