Maybe they can get the shin kick specialist

The way they're going, that could be looking quite the desirable record come Feb.

He should be good for a pretty big new manager bounce, if nothing else. ;-)))

I asked Copilot who paid for the report…..

The report on Manchester United's future prospects under Ineos ownership was commissioned by **Ineos** itself, specifically by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is the founder and chairman of Ineos.

Wonder how much they spunked on that?

Man United have already signed 'new Ronaldo' as honest admission proves it

Cristiano Ronaldo lit up Old Trafford with fancy footwork after first signing for Manchester United, and that style of play is also one that Joshua Zirkzee values

I'll just leave this here....

Speaking of lighting up cold scaffold, I'm.jist wondering what odds are on an arson 'attack' in the next couple of years...?

Claim off insurance for a rebuild.
Massive publicity, all sorts of help pouring in for a 'national institution', solving the albatross around their neck that is their decrepit stadium.

Like a modern day managed Munich, except without the human loss.

Hahaha f'kinhell!
Perfect mood booster for a rainy day.
Most of that is dependent on a massive 'IF' which given the current trajectory and context looks very much like it could shift to the negative end of the consequences spectrum.
And the positive side is, that's back in 4 years if everything goes really well.

Pretty damning really. Nothing more than a bookies advert for why you should place a bet at 250-1.
'Think of the potential returns!'

F'king loooooool!!!

Get back to top 4 in 4 seasons, they where 3rd the season before last.

Hardly any measure for success given the wage bill and amounts spent,

It fails to cover 2 major issues (the report may not, but the article does).

PSR issues, low quality team and how they would pay for a new stadium.

I also don’t see where the extra £200 million a year would come in, the vast majority of tickets will be a similar price, they will be extra hospitality and more year round usage, but in general I would be surprised if it amounted to much over an extra £50 million.

At which point you need to ask how they buy it and what the interest payments will be.

As shares go if your a United fan, fine a grand worth of stock could be a fun investment and maybe something you would like to have.

Serious investors won’t be buying.

Aah memories of the old burger trollies outside Maine Road.

Expertly cooked by a bloke in a dodgy white overall whilst standing in piss.

Lol they actually think an extra £200m a year. It will be more like £40m after VAT is removed and merchandised added in. It will take them at least 5 decades to pay £2bn off and that's assuming low interest ( never going to happen) and the £2bn cost not increasing which of course it will in fact it's probably already £2.5bn

As much as I despise United, I despise shit corporate "banter" even more. The most milquetoast broad range type of "humour" dreamed up by a committee of "writers" in order to sell a gambling habit
