The rags may get new owners but buying them would have to be an investment and the question would have to be would it be worth it ?

To me they look like a maxed out credit card. Everything that can be rented out already has been and for what look suspiciously like uncommercial and, therefore unrepeatable rates. The guy who signed the Chevy deal has already paid the price for his lunacy.

The Glazers would be looking for top dollar and other investors would be expecting to either have their shares bought back or for regular dividends from profits.

Investment has been outlawed since you can't make losses under FFP which makes me wonder why anyone would consider them as anything other than a vanity project and such owners are surely a thing of the past.

No. It breaks my heart but I think the Glazers are here to stay.

Just before I put a dumb rag out of his misery,would I be right in saying they paid falcao £4.5 million for his enormous goal tally so far,or am I off the mark?.........just need to check.

He's been there for 11 weeks or so at £350,000 p/w so £3.5-3.9m or so. They've pretty much paid over £3.5m (not including medical costs) per goal.

Edit: around £1.7m for the loan fee as well if you were to break it down proportionally.

That's his wages though not the loan fee which i believe is the £4.5 million quoted, given that we are approaching a third of the way through the season then it makes it a nice round £1.5 million in loan fees on top of the wages. So in total they are looking at over five million so far.

I had it at 12 weeks @£380,000.........but yours will do fine

Cheers :)

Could easily call it a minimum cost of £5.2m including fee and wages (per goal as well) without any fear of being proven wrong. Make sure you direct the rat in the direction of di Maria's comments about the scum being far from first choice and Bale's agent's comments about turning down more money at the scum while you're at it.

The moment we will know the shit has hit the fan is when they start looking to sell the naming rights to the stadium, this is the one thing that so far seems off limits. When they finally go down this road they know they have maxed out all other avenues.

I thought they'd started looking at that already?

Edit: These rumours started in May, the club denied them though and it wouldn't be like those rats to be dishonest:

I thought Nike had seen their arse with the rags over the shirt deal. i cant imagine Adidas being happy having their world record shirt deal being played in the Nike stadium.

Now maybe if Adidas were up for sponsoring the stadium it would make more sense.

i feel its a bit petty saying that falcao has only got one goal and it works out at a cost of 5m.one goal can make you millions. look at "that" goal from aguero. made us an absolute fortune.

If They have another shit season it will be interesting to see what the stadium rights will be worth.

On the plus side, with all these mega deals being signed, if our sheikh wants to lean on his cousins a bit, we could have some ourselves - and be able to point to teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and the scum and say they are within 'acceptable' limits ;-)
