United Thread - 2021/22

[Blue Mist]

When you consider the huge growth in football and sponsor revenues in the last decade it's a terrible figure. My only concern is that it may encourage someone with deeper pockets than the Glazers to try and buy the club. That's the last thing we would want. The slow death of MUFC has been the icing on the cake during our recent period of success.

No matter how many shares a rich billionaire bought, he would never own the club. They are not those sort of shares.

Correct, while they can suck the profit out, they're not selling.

Now for anyone to give them a price that makes it worth them selling, they'd be looking upwards of 5 BILLION ! Chelsea just sold for 2.5 PLUS an extra guarantee of 1.5 in 'extra' investments. And the Chelsea buyers don't inherit a debt ! and have a better quality squad at this moment in time.

Nobody is buying a mid-table team that needs significant investment, is carrying almost 1/2 a billion in debt, and needs a new stadium .... and will not be able to do it as a leveraged buyout (like the Glazers did).

Unless they get lucky with youth, player aquisition and Ten Old Hags, resulting in a top four finish, they're well and truly F.U.C.K.E.D

This is music to my ears and I hope you are right. The Chelsea price makes me wonder what City would be worth these days.

Get that c@nt David Gill on the job. He was fucking brilliant dealing with ‘leaks’ when he was at uefa (boooooooooooo)

I imagine when the fixtures are announced that their first five games are all at home and against Yeovil, Torquay, Newport, Wrexham and Havant & Waterlooville

Fuck me that's a tough set of fixtures for them to start with. They'll be doing well to get a win and a couple of draws out of that.

The press and media will of course lap it up if they have a half decent start, look at this season at the start Ollie was a genius and Ronaldo was making them into genuine title contenders than as was predicited here it turned to shit. As it will with this new lad and it wont change as long as fergie is around.

I am going to delete my 2 posts to put your fine statement “Scum” right to the top of the page.
Prominence for such a statement is important.

If Chelsea sold for £4bn then City must be worth at least that. Perhaps the Forbes valuation is a bit out of date.

Maybe City's valuation is a bit muted as they technically are part of a larger football conglomerate CFG. Just speculation there, perhaps one of the more knowledgeable accounting wizards of Bluemoon could chime in and enlighten us.

Chelsea sold for around 2 1/2 but had to guarantee another 1 1/2 in investment, so it’ll cost the buyers over 4, and they obviously justified that figure.

Valuations are just that, what a 3rd party thinks it’s worth. But they often don’t have all the information (how crap the team is, how much needs spending to update the derelict stadium etc.) and then a valuation can go out of the window and it’s a case of how much someone can justify spending, higher or lower.

A weeks wage from each of the above list would raise a shite load more than a tour round carrington.

Manchester United pair organise prize draws​

Manchester United stars Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof have partnered with UNICEF to raise money for victims of war in Ukraine through a series of prize draws.
The Premier League pair will offer prizes from a private tour of United's Carrington training ground to signed items from players past and present.
Proceeds will go towards providing clean water, health care and other services for children and their families in the war-torn country.
Fernandes said: "Victor and I spoke at the training ground about the situation in Ukraine and were talking about ways in which we might be able to do something that could help.
"After we talked with UNICEF, we realised the most impactful thing we could do at this moment would be to raise what we can for their appeal in Ukraine."

Great gesture, why try to get it from the general public who are struggling? Get your team to donate 1 weeks wages, that must be around 3Mil?

Never understood the plaudits around shite like this. Just go to the squad and say let's donate 10% each of our monthly wage just the once. One off, from the players, that would mean more. Every fucker is struggling financially except this lot.
