That was quick...

United have now met the terms of the contract, so #Wolves have given permission for them to conclude the Matheus Cunha deal and start a medical #mufc

Haha they obviously just tried to bully us into accepting their terms. Well done Wolves for not caving in

 

[Grassland Blue]

Let's hope for longer than a decade

Ah! Yes, mancheshnitid.
Whatever happened to them?
I know, I'll ask the pope......

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Just thinking about the City executive who defected to utd( can't remember his name)
That turned out well didn't it ?

 

[Wanderingwolf]

Cunha- I’m not going there to fight for 5th place I’m going to fight for titles?? Has he got his Manchester clubs mixed up?
Or maybe specify what titles exactly

 

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

So who was with the rags in 86 who was also there in 74?

Arthur Albiston.

 

[Sid C]

I just hope the relegation parachute payments are stopped the end of next season, the daft cunts have probably spent it already.

Cunha is quite a signing , some great performances overshadowed by launching attacks on opposition players, coaching staff. Finally utd have their very own Joey Barton.

Well at least he is going to a club one two places above the team he is leaving

I thought his speech was like Alan Partridge.

Now there’s a task for AI to sync Partridge body onto Anorim!

1 place and only on goal difference because of the Villa fuck up on the last day

He's a good player but also a massive bellend so I can't wait to see the shit that he causes at that club.

It could be hilarious.

They’ve got to pay the full 62m by the end of 25/26 in 3 instalments. Basically £62m spread across 2 financial years (at most) by the looks of it.
Rather than the desperate 12.5m spread across 5 financial years that United were asking for.

United have just chewed through a large part of their spare transfer cash on a single transfer… because it’s effectively all upfront - ie they’ve had to use the cash to buy 1 player (fully paid in 1 year) using up potential money that could have been used to buy 5 similarly priced players (each paid over 5 years).

Another cashflow headache.

Plus it means that any vultures circling for the players they desperately need to sell, to allow them to buy others, will know they can further lowball/delay till last minute in transfer window… reducing the room to manoeuvre of United even further.

I repeat: marvellous

Is he trying to convince himself that, after the season they had, 5th would be a dream

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Fingers crossed you do.

This could be quite a watershed moment.

If Wolves stand firm on the 2 year clause and the scum give it the old ‘didn’t want him anyway’ then that can only mean that the money really isn’t there.

Wolves should absolutely stand firm. Unless they really want him out.

He’s clearly not the full shilling. He’s winning nothing there. Better players than him have wilted under the pressure.

 

[manimanc]

Awaits headlines of childhood team, Cunha being a lifelong rag fan....

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

5 years? The cheeky cunts.

Rags reaching for Graton Catalog signings - 50p a week for 150 years

 

[Semper aggressus]

How are they able to keep spending like this?

 

[N1985]

How are they able to keep spending like this?

They can carry on if they're shopping at Wolves, Brentford and Ipswich.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

So just to ensure a full understanding of this - to be compliant by the end of FY25 (ignoring poor financial performances up to this point), their result has to be a minimum of a positive £98m to get them back to the max loss of £105m across the FY23, FY24 & FY25 cycle and avoid penalty?

Yes. Any 3 years must be a maximum net loss of £105m. So they have to turn in a big profit for this season just gone.

However. It's not the same figures as the financial results as published. There are various adjustments that can be made hence no one can be certain as to where any club stands on ffp.

But if your public accounts are a loss of over £150m in a single year then it can't be sustainable.
