And there in lays the problem moving forward, the current squad baring a couple of players need binning off. They won’t have Champions league football next season which puts players off who could make a difference. Tv money from champions league won’t be there and there’s also talk of reductions in what they get from Addidas.

They have the excel spreadsheet out swimming against the tide which is PSR. They’ve made huge cuts to staff and other areas where they don’t want to spend anymore. When it comes to complying with that bottom line they won’t be able to improve the first team squad in the next few windows as they have to move players on. It’s a doom spiral that’s going to keep them mediocre for the foreseeable.

Cheers Emil's champion!

That's just banished the post Christmas Blues - what a lovely warm feeling the thought of that brings - Happy Blue Year everyone.

As you were.
 
Just thought it'd be worth double checking how much that starting 11 cost for United last night. Bear in mind that Ericson came on a free, and the cheap guys - Mainoo, Rashford and Garnacho - didn't start. The rest of them cost over £400M - ignoring add-ons; let's face it, they are unlikely to be paid anytime soon if they're dependent on success. The breakdown, doing a rough conversion sometimes of Euros to £:-

Onana £43.8M (with £3.4M in add ons)
Martinez £48M " £8.5M "
Maguire £80M
De Ligt £40M " £5M "
Dalot £19M
Eriksen 0
Casemiro £65M
Mazraoui £17M
Zirkzee £36M
Amad £19M
Hojlund £64M " £8M "

Total £431 million of footballers who were absolutely torn apart by Newcastle. How much are they going to get for them in the fire sale that's to come? It doesn't include the unused sub Yorro who cost £52M, nor Anthony who's done fuck all since signing for £82M with £5M in never to be achieved add ons!

IMHO, they'll have to be paid off, then start again, but, where's the money gonna come from, Scummy Jim? You haven't got any! You need to spend £1B for a new squad that could reach the top 4.

And I thought we'd made a few dodgy signings in the last few windows - that list is off the scale.

Scum.
 
It makes me laugh very loudly when I hear rags say we can sell him for £50 mill and him for £80 mill and buy other players, these players they have now weren't any good when they got them and are now even worse on massive contracts how on earth do they sell them on, its just not happening unless again they take a massive financial hit, its fuckin lovely.
 
It will be twelve years since they won the title and the odd cup here and there can't mask the inept performances and failures since. They are truly dreadful with expensive players on massive wages they can't move on. The ffp they conspired to create to stop us is now going to massively hinder them, karma. Long may their rot continue.

I hope our own season so far is a big wake-up call to the hierarchy at the top of our club. We've made the same mistakes as the rags in letting a fantastic squad all age together and wasting money on some poor recruitments. Thankfully we haven't slipped as far but we need to get our eye back on the ball asap.
