Not sure they have much option. I would imagine they have to make a fair amount before end June to meet PSR. They have to get a move on. Shame.

Every day I read ’United are leading the chase for….’ It looks like they could bring in £300m worth of players… is that realistic- they were close on PSR so do they have the headroom for such a spending spree?

Has been the same for over a decade, if you are a player why would you go there? A manager that is clinging on by his teeth and might be gone this time next year, a whole squad up for sale. No proper football structure in place as the new appointments on execs are all on garden leave. They’ve ruined many a players career, you may get paid handsomely but if you want to compete for the big trophies and play champions league football you won’t get it at the swamp.

Because you'll get paid well over market rate, can piss about in training, underperform on the pitch (on the rare occasions you actually play) and, when it looks like the gravy train might be coming to an end when your contract has just a year left on it, they'll offer you an extension.Has been the same for over a decade, if you are a player why would you go there?

It looks like the gravy train is drying up since Scruffy Jim has gone in and pulled up the skeletons under the floor board. Will be interesting to see if they can sustain their batshit crazy transfer policy if the new PSR rules on anchoring to the bottom club goes through.
I don't necessarily think 30 league goals is unrealistic.Deluded Hag says Temu Haaland could get 30 goals lol
If he carries on at his current scoring rate he will indeed have scored 30 goals over the next 4 seasons.

So Mr 25% walks in and like some cheesy, Steven Seagal 80's film, takes control and single-handedly steers the vessel away from the looming, thunderous iceberg up ahead and gently guides the passengers aboard the multi-billion pound ocean liner to the safety of a sun-drenched south sea island, where they all live happily ever after?
It's not going to happen. When we were taken over we were drifting aimlessly from mediocrity to obscurity, then back again: it was our own special blueprint for failure that we had been working on since the days of Joe Mercer and Big Mal. All we could do was go up.
Not so for the rags. They were already established, had a name and an international fan base to work with. They were one of the 'big clubs' alongside Real and Barca, so they were only ever going to go downwards - while we passed them on the way up.
The club has a deep culture of arrogance going back decades and decades. They have had a false sense of superiority ingrained in them since the pisscan walked in and (with the blessing of the British media) have been living in an alternate reality ever since. When you have money, power and influence you're on top of the world: you are untouchable. Refereeing officials, Sly sports presenters, tabloid editors and journalists do as you tell them - or they face the consequences.
But now the rags have neither the money, the power nor the influence that they once did, so their downward spiral from the summit is now gathering sufficient momentum as to be re-classified as a meteor hurtling uncontrollably towards terra firma.
25% is trying to give the impression that he is the man to take the rags forward, but in order to go forward you have to stop reversing first.

Yeah we can spend that this summer because these supposed new rules will come in in 18 months! Even if we spend 300m think we recoup half that amount in sales

5x the rags income.
They'll never get back.
