Some online retards are predicting that the Scum will win the title next year.

They're so fucking far away from a title, you'd might as well predict that Everton will win the league.

You think that finishing 8th would be the barometer for where their league finish will be next season not a stuffy Fa cup final win. For context the likes of Wigan and Leicester City have won the Fa cup both were relegated, also the rags have only broken the 80 points barrier only once in 11 years since Taggert left.
 
I remember reading on here a few years ago that in the 80s united were spending more on players than their entire revenue. Would be like in today's terms city spending 600 or 700m. Does anyone have a link on this?
When Micheal knight was going to buy them, the offer (that almost went through) was £20m. Ie the whole of united - its players, ground, training facilities, staff was valued at £20m (including any buyer premium on the value).
A year later, they spent iirc £19m on players.

In terms of today, that would be like City spending £2.5BILLION in one year on players.

A value of a company is far higher than its revenue. So it’s actually worse than you thought.

Edit: see later post by abu13 on more accurate 35% figure.
