United Thread - 2021/22

Apparently the wage bill at United far exceeds everyone else. When you consider the state of their team the following stats are mind boggling.

United (226M)
Chelsea (162M)
City (143M)
Liverpool (139M)

5th highest in world of sport, according to this graphic.
£193m annually, with nothing to show for at the end.

Wow. The difference between City and them are app. 80m, more 50%. They also pay so much more than Chelsea do. They have surrendered any sort of control. I am a bit surprised that City rank below Chelsea. I thought they had let go of many players because of their players' demands.

They are irrelevant nowadays, Thursday and Monday nights.

Hopefully they will remain irrelevant.
Wonder when the next protest is, someone could make money there selling zebra pants in Norwich colours

These figures bear no relation to what's in the audited accounts. I've no idea how they calculated them.

Mata's the weirdest of the lot imo. He's a great little player and, by all accounts, one of the nicer ones at OT and yet he's been happy to sit there and take the cash for the last few seasons.

They had the gall to call out YaYa as a mercenary when he signed for us.

They reap what they sow.

And long may it continue!

Can't understand players that don't want to play, particularly as they get towards the back end of their careers.

Until I read your post I had completely forgotten he was there. And having realised he is, how is he not getting into the team, as they are utterly clueless and Mata is or certainly was a decent player.

I do think the contract renewals and extensions are due to the utterly inept owners and their belief that until they have spent at least as much on any given (shit) player, who has proven that with no fucker there having the faintest clue how to coach players (yea, verily are they completely and utterly fucked), they will have massive problems for a very long time.
No club is going to buy their hugely overvalued 'players' on their insanely overinflated wages. No wonder that lot are happy to sit on their arses week in week out.
2 seasons from the drop I reckon. Pigmol can only do so much.

I think these are players only, but it's just their(spotrac?) guestimate. Our accounts will show all salaries, the players not separated out.(?).

Not only the in squad but in all starting elevens.

Including England, unfortunately.
