I was just pondering - who. 5 years ago, would have thought that Ronaldo and Messi would end their illustrious careers in kind of footballing backwaters?

When is a journalist going to actually do their fucking job and tell these wankers that ffp has been in place since 2009/10 so it doesn't matter how rich the owner of a football club is they can only spend what they earn.

I think the trouble at utd is they are cash skint and pretty much like Barcelona have to cook the books
the debt is a lot more than what is put out in the media and the glazers debts is still the only debt that is being shown in public,

when your cash skint (free money) that was there you could always fall back on, but COVID-19 hit them hard
also the share market is now hitting home with the very good chance of worldwide recession in the coming months

Yep. And the limit on squad size is also a huge restriction. Limit on loans coming in soon. Having the money doesn't mean anything, you have to manage the whole thing well.

They deliberate don't correct them because it fits the narrative that oil rich City are buying everyone and it's not fair; n their beloved redtops.

Yeah, I see #Emptyoldtrafford is trending today.
All sorts of talk about what they’re gonna do & what “needs doing” next Monday.

If they’re really serious about what needs doing, they could make a start on fixing the roof.

Good, it doesn't stop a so called journalist correcting someone spouting bollocks.

No fear there mate. I wouldn’t piss on the twats

Apparently they are interested in an additional 7 players Ten Haag has said he wants before deadline day.

Snow White has reportedly said, she hasn't yet received a formal bid for any as of yet but will only consider any offers in excess of 25 Million and a poisoned apple.

Snow White's a liar, she's already sold them a CB.

Personally...... tinfoil hat at the ready..... there is something odd about their debt.

Who are they paying the interest to? Something dodgy going on there. Why pay so much interest when you’ve ability to pay down the debt.

Debt has been £600m. They’ve paid £750m interest. They’re paying dividends every year. They could reduce principal every year but have chosen not to in order to pay massive interest. That’s not normal business practice. They definitely have some link to the debt. If they are linked to the bank or is tax reasons.

Totally Marlo.
I'd always assumed that the Glazers iwn the debt - just another way to drain money out of the club without the fans knowing.
E. G. Borrow £500m at 4% interest = £20m/year, using the swamp as security under one company.
Charge the FC 10% interest on "their" £500m debt, or £50m a year.
£50m - £20m = £30m to go in the Glazers back pocket.
FC debt stays at £500m.
Terrible cunts but v amusing.
