United thread 2019/20

Will there ever be a punishment for there debt ? Doesn’t seem right. I suppose the more the debt grows the harder it is for the glazers to sell.

Being owned by the Glazers is punishment enough, surely?

But Eddie Woowar and the paperboy said only a few weeks ago that they'll be able do things in the transfer window only they could do

That's correct, they're the only club that can convince media and fans they're signing 4 world class players for 1/2 billion and then end up with Swansea rejects, without anyone batting an eye lid, all while the pundits tip them for greatness .... No other club can achieve this.

It gives me a nice warm glow inside.

But you never hear anyone complaining about FFP

And that’s why Gill is doing all he can to kick us out the champ league position! There debt will keep rising no fans in stadium they lose out big time like the scousers and Arsenal. Good owners who are very wealthy who only thought is to invest are the best owners not leaches like these American owners who only want a cash cow.

So within 7 weeks they go from:
‘Looks bright despite coronavirus’

To:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/s...-soar-42-cent-430m-feel-effects-Covid-19.html
‘Feels effects of covid’

to paraphrase woowar
‘we can do things with negative numbers that other clubs can only hope they never do’

true , however if you look in the last few seasons the Glazers have spent hundreds of millions on players , whilst being massively in debt surely this shouldn’t be allowed. If you speak to united fans they act like the glazers haven’t put there money in there pocket they have massively just on the wrong players . If it was a business like football is turning into surely it should be going bust sooner or later . No owner will want to buy it with all the debt looming

Yep haha if only FFP or the powers at be looked at bad owners haha , if it was city I feel we would have a transfer ban and have to sell our best players to clear the debt.

The figures they have mentioned today all seem to relate to pre virus, that’s Covid 19, not the one that mutated from newtoneef sometime in the 1800’s, so does this mean their figures are going to be far worse at the half year mark? Bloody well hope so! :) The biggest punchline though is that the owners are still taking money out! Ha ha ha
