Manchester United submits the accounts of its UK-registered subsidiary, Red Football Ltd (RFL), for Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) assessments, rather than the Cayman Islands-based Manchester United plc, resulting in a significantly lower pre-tax loss figure. This discrepancy is due to RFL's accounts excluding exceptional costs, such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's minority stake acquisition costs and other currency-related financial costs, which were incurred at the plc level but not passed down to the subsidiary. This strategic reporting has provided the club with more financial headroom for spending and has influenced how its PSR compliance is perceived.

It stinks doesn't it?
Manchessheryoonited - the most sustainable club in the world.
 
Simon Stone is the ultimate spin doctor- no way is he not on the United payroll. His write up of their financial statement is fanciful and avoids pretty much all of the underlying issues. Why do some of us pay a licence fee? Certainly not to read a United Fanzine writer.

Says the salary bill has been cut by £51m but then says the wage bill saw a 25% reduction for playing staff (who must account for most of the salary bill) as a result of not making the CL - so on those numbers they must have added to their wage bill otherwise it would have dropped by £70+ million.

Was it not the "shot" from the Sesko kid (one for the oldies?) early on, which Donna controlled with his hand, got up and cleared it routinely. As Ali Mann said, "It was never going in..."
Not sure, I'd have thought it was the one where Sesko was through on the right early on, looked like he maybe controlled it with his arm, but Donnarumma came out and blocked the shot with his shoulder.

Whichever way you polish it a turd will always remain a turd.
 
So that’s £175m losses over the last 3 seasons.
I’d love to know how they’re getting away with it?
More Covid allowances incoming then..
