United Thread | 2024/25

A very bizarre analysis. Full of ifs and maybes.

The current outlook, which is virtually guaranteed, is that they'll fail to qualify for Europe next season and that will cost them something like £30m in matchday revenue, £50m in domestic and European broadcasting revenue and probably £20m in sponsorship.

Their operating cashflow was around £100m and free cashflow in the last financial year was £85m, so that's all their free cashflow potentially wiped out. That means very little available to spend, for a side that needs a huge rebuild. And they've got to find the cash to pay their transfer debt as well. And nearly £160m of that free cashflow was for an issue of shares, which was a one-off. So they could be looking at a massive cash outflow in the next FY.

Some of that will possibly be offset by a lower wage bill and maybe lower expenses but that's a hell of a mountain to climb considering they've not even got to the bottom yet. I've always said that 2 consecutive seasons out of the CL (which they've not suffered as yet) could be a tipping point. Two consecutive seasons without any European football could be an absolute game-changer for them (and not a good one).

If that happens they aren't winning anything in 2028.
well on money spent they should win thursday night cup which will get them off the hook

The Stockmarket is over valued yet these gimps have found undervalued stocks that Warren Buffet couldn’t find.

"UBS is predicting a return to the top four and Champions League football within four seasons for United and vast revenues that could break the £1bn barrier"


Sounds nailed on to me
 
Somebody posted on here after the derby that reds he was acquainted with were offering him bets that the scum would finish above us. I'd love to know if those same reds have gone very quiet just lately & are regretting their offer of it was ever taken up.

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.
