…also as we’ve seen, clubs won’t match their wages so most will sit on their lengthy current deals. It’s a mess.

Similar to us over the last 5 years. But hopefully not to be repeated. If we can keep Jarrod that will be a real statement in terms of not needing to sell our best players. But he’s only got a couple of years left so either signs a new contract or we have to sell. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately they're still a massive club and have a much greater pull than Everton, and that's not even mentioning the fact that they'd be able to treble his salary.

People call Everton a sleeping giant, but we're not... we're more like a former champion on life support for three decades. United is a true sleeping giant and they will likely throw immense money at their problems this summer. Hopefully none of that is intended to purchase Branthwaite.

United were in desperate need of that champions league cash. The financial mess of their squad is like Everton on steroids. They’ve got players on obscene wages who they can’t get rid, a whole host of failed transfers who will cost them a fortune PSR wise. They need to bring in several new players but will probably be highly restricted in doing so. I think it’s very unlikely they’ll be able to pay the £60m plus we’d ask for Branthwaite when there’s so many other issues in their squad. Harry Maguire has become their third choice striker and looks more dangerous than Hojlund and Zirkzee! I worry about Branthwaite leaving, but just don’t see him going there.
 
How long has Braithwaite got on his contract?

Moving to the new stadium should be a line in the sand. NO MORE MUGS.

OK if Madrid came in with a bid of 100 million, you think about it.

But lets stop being this downtrodden fan base - I know why we feel that way and but times are changing. TFG I hope are no mugs and I hope, again, they will cherish our assests.

He'd be mad to go to Man United. They are in a right mess. If he leaves, it will be a Champions league team.

I couldn't disagree more about Manchester United. They are in a complete mess.

They have countless average players on contracts well beyond their worth. The only way they will be able to shift some of them is by paying out a large contribution of their contracts further worsening their current financial position.

The stadium is leaking and falling apart.

No European football to attract players next season.

It has been well documented about the club flying close to PSR. I highly doubt they will be in a position to pay £70-80 million on one player and they have other more pressing positions to address than centre back at this time.

I would describe Newcastle as a sleeping giant at this time given the foundations that have been laid in recent seasons and their financial backing especially if PSR is more relaxed after the outcome of Man City is known. Man Utd probably have more chance of heading the same way as Leeds United under Peter Ridsdale or Sheffield Wednesday at this point. Great managers like Mourinho and Van Gael haven't been able to win the league with Manchester United after spending hundreds of millions so...not a sleeping giant for me but more of an old irrelevant relic!

Branthwaite could be interested in moves to Man City, Liverpool or Newcastle from the Premier League should any be interested and be in a position to offer circa £80 million. Man Utd are now firmly out of the running - they have more chance of resigning Michael Keane on a free.
 
If anyone bids it'll be Chelsea or Man City. Newcastle will go back in for the lad from Palace and United are in freefall. No one else in the league would be able to afford him.
 

Does not need to sign a new contract for me, when he basically has to 2027,and the extra year. It just means he gets more money now and still never ending carries on getting linked to others.
