United are fucked. :-)

The new independent football regulator has published plans for a licensing regime that it says "will go further than anything currently in place by assessing the full financial picture of a club".

For the first time, all 116 clubs across the top five divisions of the men's game in England will be required to hold a licence to compete from 2027-28.

Being granted one will depend on submitting financial plans, meeting corporate governance standards, and consulting directly with fans on key matters.

Under its proposals, the IFR would have the power to cap clubs' spending, and require them to reduce their debt.

Good.

It’s about time debt was taken into consideration, when penalising clubs for financial irregularities.

Can they access their Cayman Island accounts? In a bent, gangster, capitalist system, I can't see it happening.

Can the regulator look into the Cayman Islands and Delaware, both Tax Havens that United have used and are using.

United have also got two companies, one carrying the majority of the club debt, but not related to the club, and Manchester United.

Yup. City apparently signing Lamine Yamal. Ha ha. Just post ‘City to play PL match in NY’ and watch it appear in the Sun/Mirror/Mail.

You have to admit that supposed interest in Jobe Bellingham even by their standards is an al-time low and well worth the coverage for the laughs it provides. Just what United need another bang average player whose father is TROUBLE
