Yesterday the Premier League with the agreement of all clubs banned total leveraged buy outs, i.e. the Glazers. Now when buying a club only 65% of a clubs value can be funded by debt.
That surely rules out Chelsea Jim from buying the rags doesn't it ?

More like that banker who is worth 1.2b Ratcliffe is only offering 3b for 50% so more likely it be Ratcliffe..

Express article stating that "Man Utd players most 'loyal' in Prem as Liverpool trail Arsenal and Chelsea"

United players stay at the club the longest of any in the top flight. The average stay is 54 months 11 days. City's average is 37 months 5 days.

Anyone think that a certain Mr P Jones might have skewed those stats a little?
It's only their deep-seated love of the Rags that stopped Phil Jones and Martial from signing for Barcelona years ago. Apparently, they were offered 600k a week each, but they said 'Nah, thanks, we love Stretford too much.'

Just to add, Luke Shaw was off to Real but found out there were no Greggs in Madrid, so he told them to stick their money.

The alternative way of looking at this:
Rags have the most useless unsaleable players in the league.

Tony Marshal is on an eye watering contract for the amount of effort he puts in, and who else would have signed Phil the Face?

They aren't 'loyal', they're mercenaries.

In other words, they buy players for massively inflated fees, give them ridiculous wages and long contracts, and can't get rid of them.
