United thread 2018/19

[JASR]

It would be good to see the equivalent figures across that period for City.

If anyone has them?

Would the graph be the opposite trend? ;-)

Keep hearing the pundits and even lots of fellow blues saying they have really good players and it's all down to peg, they don't they have got a really shit and old squad with lots of players running down contracts. I love it.

Ha anyone stopped to think that perhaps jose is actually overacheiving (at least last 2 years) and that if someone else came in they'd face largely the same problems - but may fare even worse?

No.

They are wank.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Do those numbers take account of refunds for the duds they bought?

The World's Greatest Team doesn't keep receipts!

I'd agree with this.

The rag loving media are making Jose the scapegoat for all that is wrong with the rags in order to deflect from the much bigger issue.... that they've got basically got a squad of largely shit players, has beens and mercenaries.

Oh no.

Cross is quite reliable for Arsenal stuff I recall so I imagine he has decent sources regarding Sanchez.

Nothing stopping him leaving United if he's not happy and regrets going there. I'm sure United would accept a nice fat transfer fee for him for a start.

Of course he'd have to accept a pay cut, but that's up to him.

"United’s accounts last week revealed an 11% rise in their wage bill taking it to £295.9 million, £36 million more than City’s"
I thought you was only allowed to increase wages by 7% a year with failing FFP?
