United thread 2018/19

A star for each Thomas Cook trophy we won?!

We won that many?

Very True - Robinho cringe moment and the Kaka debacle were pretty low points for our club.

But even game changers in our history like Yaya, Tevez and the majority of signings early on came for the money. There would have been no other reason to join us at that point.

That’s more than the 7% the premier FFP allows so what’s the punishment?

Special rules if you bank via Delaware... It's in the small print.

Very pleased to see City close to within £90 mill on Utd's revenue. Consider that they are currently outside the top 4. That must be worth around £90 m in revenue so within 12 months there is a realistic chance that City will be the most financially powerful club in the Premier League. Most fans will think so what, but financial strength underlies everything particularly their ability to trump us in the transfer market.

Surely knowing they have paid that much in wages and watching the shite they get for it in return is punishment enough?

Intentional pun?

Surely some mistake !

Fucking mercenaries they called some of our players.
Karma works wonderfully well you red twats.

I cannot recall the details but did they not let Mkhitaryan go for free too, when he could have been sold? He was poor but surely, they would have expected to get around £15m plus for him.

It was a swap officially, so rather than transfer fees and (possibly) contractual loyalty payments, each got a big signing on fee instead.

Conveniently, it also allows interpretation room for Sanchez' transfer fee to be recorded as zero for squad valuation, almost always by those who want to represent the Utd squad value as low as possible.

After Derby County tonight they've got a decently tough run of games:

West Ham A
Valencia H
Newcastle H
Chelsea A
Juventus H
Everton H
Bournemouth A
Juventus A
Centurions A

In fact, looking ahead I see besides us being after Juve A, they have Liverpool A following Valencia A. Mourinho will have to work his magic...

Did Mikhitaryian receive any loyalty payment/severance from them?
