Piece about Knighton’s takeover attempt in 89 on bbc https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58233755

Interesting take:
The bid of £10m for the entire club, is the same as their new players spend that year.

so, a club worth X, spent the same X on new players + wages and all other expenses. Negative organic growth!

Also from the article:
Whilst also making an average annual loss of over £1m, and having some crowds 18000-20000.

people in glass houses, comes to mind.

Slimey didn't mention the stock market flotation (outside investment) that provided the funds to rebuild the Stretford End and embark on an unprecedented level of spending for new players never seen before.
Maybe Slimey thinks this is the "organic" growth that thick Rags and their media shills cant stop banging on about?

£400k a week for Pogba to sign a new contract, some good crack cocaine must be floating round Gorse Hill.

Feck em .

When you think about it, United have had two decent managers in the last 70 years (you could argue in their entire history) - Matt Busby & Alex Ferguson, the others won next to nowt between them.

Trafford Ministry of Truth.

Rags have never had outside investment in their entire history.
Rags have never paid over £100 per week for any player.
Rags have never ever had a contentious refereeing decision going in their favour.
Rag players never commit fouls on opposing players, nor do they ever 'dive' in the opponents penalty area.
No player has ever turned down a chance to play for the rags - never.

And if anybody doubts the authenticity of these statements, just ask Sky or BT and they will confirm all of the above.

the official attendance was 47,245 - about 10,000 higher than the previous season's average ?
before 1992 so can not be right ? because utd the are biggest club in the world only averaging 37.000

Only three managers have taken the league title to Trafford, and two of them - Earnest Magnall and Matt Busby - have a connection to the only team in Manchester.

spot on
they are not a self funding club that they like to think they are or was
before 1992 they was nothing like a so called big club ? if they was that big a club why was manchester city last winners of the title before the premier league was formed ?

i was talking to a mate the other week and said from the 1970s manchester city was and should have been the biggest manchester club now. but for swales and malcolm allison ego and the infighting city was only heading one way

Up until Busby went to United, City were the senior club of Manchester. By a mile.

He built them up to our level and beyond through the 1950s and 60s. Then we overtook them again in the 70s.

Obviously we had a terrible three decades in the 80s 90s and 00s, while United became the much bigger club. It was ridiculous what Swales and Allison did to City in the late 70s.

But now we’re back up at their level and beyond.
