Don't forget they will absolutely not want anyone turning up to a game or being interviewed in a Greenwood shirt now, so absolutely makes sense for them.

Even worse should some sections of the crowd during a game, or fans on social media, decide to take up the 'free our player' cause and the club similarly could find themselves in an uncomfortable position. Best to get the shirts binned an replaced.

Biggest net spenders in Europe over the past 10 years.

Man Utd top league of transfer losses with negative spend of 1bn euros in last 10 years​

Manchester United have the biggest transfer losses in Europe in the last decade, according to Swiss-based research institute, CIES Football Observatory.

Since 2012 United have a negative net spend of more than one billion euros, more than rivals Manchester City.

The study revealed that the Red Devils have spent 1.545bn euros on transfers, making 470m euros back in player sales.

Fourteen Premier League clubs are in the top 20.

I posted about the coaches table a few days after Ralf was appointed

Football Club Elo Ratings

clubelo.com

I think I misinterpreted the sites methodology though. I previously read it as the match result not mattering, just the relative positions. Whereas it is about the result and the relative positions.

Ralf (from memory) was 10th on the all time list when he was appointed, where he remains.
Remember to scroll down past number 1, all the way to number 29.... (whilst bearing in mind the site's phrase 'more recent matches are more heavily weighted, and remembering position number 2 for any Ferguson apologists you happen to mention the fact to)

Anyone scrolled down to no. 90!
