You mean 2012-13, not 2013-14.

As long as they don't get bailed out by somebody fucking rich, that would be bad :)

Therein lies the problem. Be careful what you wish for with the raggy rag rags. While the Glazers own them, it great entertainment, but God forbid someone with some real dosh steps in, that wont be funny. Unless of course its a consortium fronted by Ray Ranson...

To be honest there is no doubt that the Glazers will ultimately sell out and some real money men will bail them out, its as sure as night follows day any anyone who believes otherwise is deluding themselves. The best senario for us is that they plod along just missing out on the top 4 and the Glazers sit tight. This will allow us to consolidate and remain competitive when it finally happens.

Whilst they "rob Peter to pay Paul" with the problems they have in their American businesses I cannot see them selling out for a very long time.
Long may it continue.

Manchester United has said that its revenue fell by 9.9% to £88.7m for the three months to the end of September.

The Old Trafford club lost out on payments from Nike from failing to qualify for the Uefa Champions League.

The fall in income could have been more but was partially compensated for by an increase in sponsorship money and a lower wage bill.

Club boss Ed Woodward said 2014-15 financial results would reflect "absence from the Champions League".

But he said the club had "signed the largest kit sponsorship deal in the history of sport in the first quarter and, with that concluded, we are excited to focus our efforts on the meaningful growth opportunities in sponsorship, digital media and retail and merchandising".

The club's kit deal with Adidas, which kicks in at the start of the 2015-16 season, is worth £750m over ten years.

On top of this, it signed five additional sponsorship deals in the quarter.

However, revenues from both broadcasting and matchdays fell as the cost of missing out on Europe's premier club competition for the first time in two decades took its toll.

On the positive side, Manchester United said employee benefit expenses for the quarter were down 6.6% compared to the same quarter a year ago, thanks mainly to lower player wages.

United, majority owned by the American Glazer family, reiterated that its full year revenue would be between £385m and £395m, around £40m lower than the previous year.

The club is currently seventh in the Premier League table, having made an indifferent start to the season under coach Louis van Gaal.

Van Gaal was drafted in at the start of the season after Alex Ferguson's replacement David Moyes left.

Edward Woodward has ruled out any signings in January according to the BBC website. It does look like they are in for another long, hard season.

Rat.

Skip the article, but take a look at the comments section, here's one....

Durham; I have just read an article by your by far superior colleague MR IAN LADYMAN, this article states that UTD are considering a trip abroad to compensate their loss of revenue by not qualifying in any way for European football this season, this will supplement their already arranged tour in January, for the same reasons given in your article, what happens if their "brittle "players get injured, will you demand yet again postponements? In your silly world the season for some will never end.

So Durham's not only WUMming on the radio; he's also doing it for the Mail now.

Wanker!

Fuck, I was really starting to enjoy Woodwards efforts so far in the market, I really wanted to see him throw the shackles off and bid £100million on big name galacticos like Sylvain Distin
