United too?

United too?

No. Because our current owners are morons that don’t know how to close the deal on a £5 billion sale.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

United too?

Nope, we’ll most likely be stuck with the Glazers this window again, will have no money to spend, they’re just ****ing us over one last time.

ETH won’t be getting any of his targets.

What price has he set his relegation release clause at?

You can criticise the Glazers for a load of things but spending money on transfers really shouldn't be one of them.

You spent over £200m on new signings this season, and well over a billion over the last decade. Glazers giving you money to buy new players isn't really the problem, it's more that with a few exceptions you've spent that money on shit.

Glazers have spent $0, haven’t cleared the debt, only increased it, haven’t improved the stadium, left it to rot, training facilities the same, taken yearly dividends out (more than any other PL owners).

I know the club has spent money, and spent it badly, but it hasn’t come from their pockets, the clubs revenue has kept us going since they’ve owned us, it’s all drying up now, there’s nothing left to spend, they’ve bled us dry, they have to sell or get investment in, look at the January window, Weghorst on loan ffs.

Like I said, plenty of things to criticise, but you're one of the biggest spenders in world football over the past decade.

I was actually about to post exactly everything you posted but then stopped myself. I mean, it’s been explained heaps of times on here over the years that even a child would grasp it the first time. So what would be the point in it?

I look forward to you posting this again in a week.

Don’t let anyone convince you that the VFL doesn’t count.

Not even sure what that's supposed to mean. Oh well.

With jude out it'll be interesting to see what 30 year old/unproven magic bean we'll bring in as a consolation prize and still have the same issues in August.

Shfiting the goalposts.

Quaddie on for you guys next season after you bring in Bellingham in the summer seen as we're too broke to do it.

You're not broke, pragmatic. 100+mill on one player to solve a midfield that needs 3 ins? Hardly smart business is it? Think they learnt their lesson on buying a donkey up front instead of a midfielder.

 

[moomba]

I figured that, but I'm not sure how it applies here.

UnitedWarrior93 saying they'll have no money to spend and ETH won't get any of his targets. All because of the Glazers.

They will have money to spend, probably more than 95% of world football. And ETH will get players he wants in.

Blame Glazers for plenty imo, just not that. My point is pretty consistent.

I think we'll get Bellingham, but I've been pretty confident on that for a good six months now.

We'll aim to win every comp we enter, but we may end up this year with nothing so a bit of a leap that one player (who may well need time to settle) will win us four.

Were just falling back into the old ways when United dominated. They would buy one massive player for 30 million (back then that was massive money) blokes like Rooney and Rio etc.

Meanwhile we would be like we cant buy just one player for 30 million, we will buy 3-4 players for 8-10 million each and end up with Salif Diao and Igor Biscan etc...

In this case we are gonna spread the 130 on Bellingham into 2-3 mids who are wildly inferior. Good job team.

Wildly inferior... So dramatic
