VillaChris Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 6 minutes ago, Genie said: I’d have thought United would be one of the few clubs that didn’t need a super-rich owner because the club generates its own money. Why would their fans get excited about multi-billionaire owners? They want to be spending 1billion every 12 months instead of the 500m they do now, much wants more really. And to fix the Old Trafford leaky roof. Wonder if they'll go for Mbappe as the statement signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d probably command more than Benzema’s $4m a week, that would be hard to say no to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem pretty pissed at him atm thou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe strikes be as the kind of player that wouldn't want to ruin his legacy by coming to the PL and flopping, he'll go to Madrid and stat pad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I actually am not bothered about this, whilst we await the charges against Citeh, this helps dent Citeh's dominance. It also depresses the jawdies as they assumed they would be automatic nation state challengers. I think we're not far off a sweeping rule change to cater for the nation state model - with luck that spending cap touted a little while back. Shan't hold my breath though.

Money hasn't been the issue with United not keeping up with City, it's the footballing structure City put in place for Pep to succeed. United have spent similar amounts as City under Pep in the same period, they are just run poorly. Unless United's new owners but a solid football setup in place, they'll just keep spunking money on transfers every window, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love it if it happened but cant see the big boys agreeing. Any non state club (newcastle city and united) should vote for wage cap it would be good for the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then others would have a capped basic but then big appearance, win, goal, clean sheet bonuses. They’d also get loyalty payments and image rights on top. Drafting up the paperwork would be a waste of time as it’ll just get breached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 They have the biggest wage bill in the league at 384 million, thats shocking considering they have been pretty sub-par for the last half decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted June 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2023 A spending cap would be tweaked so that it was a percentage of turnover. Allowing the top clubs to spend huge amounts and stopping clubs like us or any other new takeover competing. There would then be huge payments made outside of official accounts to the top players/managers. Just as happened with rugby's spending cap. City have already been proven to have done off the books spending (their current spending figures are probably massively higher than declared). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 How good is this Hojlund guy? Looks like he'll be their main CF signing while the takeover drags on so a bit of pressure to hit the ground running really and stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has potential but it would be stupid to rely on him as the main man. He also plays in an attacking Atalanta side and like Brighton players from them have struggled recently leaving the system in recent seasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 If United fail to get Kane then they are screwed. Rashford is not a main striker for a club like United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
