United thread 2013/14

The idea that they will ultimately just implode is nonsense. But they will never start a season as Favourites for the title ever again. They don't have the resources, influence nor the academy to produce players that can make them competitive every year. They used to get away with it. Ferguson would bully referees and criticse the FA, media etc.

That is something I'm quite happy about.

Don't know which is more hilarious. The notion that Uncle Malc would spend 200m on the team, or that he would let Gollum spend it.

the irony will be that ffp might actually close their casket. agent wee davey deserves a knighthood in my opinion.

 

[SWP's back]

The ridiculous thing is I imagine most managers in the league could manage United to 4th.

In all honesty if they just played Kagawa behind a striker and hit less hopeful crosses they'd do twice as well.

As for 200m to spend?
After losing 200m in value?

You would honestly be insane to imagine that glazers will contemplate a 400m deficit for wee Davey.

Sack him for 30m and you'd probably gain that back in a week through relieved investors.

That's not quite how it works mate.

Clearly. Kagawa has played a lot. Looks like a fish out of water.

Cuz its not the way the play football. ive been saying this for ages. put him in our squad and he will be pulling strings left and right.. UNITED ONLY CROSS AND PING THE BALL IN TO THE BOX FROM WIDE. they do nothing else never have and never will.

Wheres this 200mil nonsense coming from? I was quite enjoying the peace and quiet on Facebook from my raggy mates - I'm sure they'll pipe up now?

 

[richards30]

They ain't got 200 million to spend.Even if they have and do isn't that going to break FFP? First they have to attract the players,then pay off the agents and then there is the wage package,whittling the amount of players they can buy right down.

If they DO blow that kind of cash bang goes their myth of building slowly,the right way and bringing the youth players through.I spoke to a Birmingham fan on holiday,a sound guy and i was amazed that even he swallowed that claptrap,it just goes to show you how the media and their hype machine brainwash people.

If they spend it all in one go or spread it over a couple of transfer windows I can't see how they can come close to meeting FFP. Even accounting for the huge amount of cash that club generates and even discounting the repayments on their not inconsiderable debt, I would imagine the maximum they could spend each season is £90-£100 million net. However, the Glazers have never sanctioned anything like that kind of spending when Ferguson was manager so why anyone would think they'd give Moyes twice that is beyond me. Plus, as you say, surely those United fans that have slated City's spending would be dead against spending such vast sums of money. Wouldn't they????
