Manchester United


So as I predicted yesterday on this thread, the answer to the problems at United with this buffoon Ratcliffe in charge is to put more good people who work at the club on the dole so they can pay clowns like Onana 300k a week.

What a disgraceful man and club.

I'm sure this will be supplemented with the sale of Rashford, Antony & a few others like Sancho at the very least. They won't be able to sell any of them right away i doubt. Whos paying £40m for them?

In football clubs, many of the jobs mentioned are casual - e.g. a youth coach may do 8 to 16 hours a week.

But even if we assumed that the 200 were full-time and paid a mean salary of £30,000 a year, with on-costs (NI, pension), you'd be below £7,000,000 per annum.

One, yes ONE, £150,000 per week player would earn more than that a year before their own on-costs! It's ridicolous.

As I said before in this thread - if clubs have to do this to stay afloat they should be transfer banned.

If Everton did this (sacking people on wages which would put them living paycheque to paycheque) then spent 100m+ on players I would be bouncing

You know a while back when the likes of Esk were peddling administration as a possibility or even probability for us I remember talking about how, for all our problems, we still weren't showing the major signs of a failing business, like frantic cost cutting, unpaid bills, or large scale redundancies. And therefore didn't really believe anything was THAT imminent.

United are showing the signs of a real crisis, not least because so many of those player contracts they couldn't get out of even if they gave the players away. It's hard to see such a large institution going completely insolvent but stranger things have happened. Things could definitely get a lot worse before they get better.

It won't be selling them, it'll be paying clubs to take them off their hands. Nobody is giving Rashford 400k a week.

If they were dealt with the way we were, they'd be up the creek.

But we all know, they'll spend another shedload, increase the debt and the PL will just shrug their shoulders.

No one buying Sancho…chelsea wanted to cancel his deal in Jan, Rashford will go and Anthony but they won’t get the 80 million they paid

They are screwed no way their sponsors aren’t trying to re-negotiate…plus welcome to the 2nd round of the league cup boys

As I’ve said before, this is how Ineos have operated for years in the chemical industry; they’re trying it here, in football, and it won’t work.
