Manchester United

The Rashford case is amusing as well, boasting a 45M fee that no one would be daft to consider paying when club has precious little leverage

My prediction is a loan without an obligatory buyout clause, he’ll join Nico at Barça

It always galls me that these players never once consider taking a pay cut in order to play. It's like they can't possibly live on just £200k a week rather than £300k a week.

I get what you're saying, however, it's not the way they look at it. That 100k a week shortfall is 5 million per year. Who is just giving up that sort of dollar? If the club paying their wages wants them off the bill, they might have to accept that players want their contracts honoured. If he wants to take a wage cut, he will do so, he will be expecting United to pay him off to cover that. He'll argue he didn't ask to be frozen out.

A club so bloated and over-invested in transfer fees and wages of players that the infrastructure of the club is crumbling at an alarming pace.

It's taken us many years to see the light at the end of the tunnel after our foray into this situation - I honestly don't see a way out for United without an even more calamitous implosion than our skirting with relegation.

Billion in debt? Stadium falling down? Overpaid unmoveable bloated squad? Loss of casual supporters? Yeah - this ain't going to go well if it continues as it has been going. Why not stick another 60+ million on a hot headed player who has gotten into disciplinary problems, what could go wrong?

Our problems ended with new owners and a new stadium. There's nothing like that on the horizon for them, it looks as if they're in big trouble

No problem. 'Sir Jim' will claw back all expenditure by sacking off the background canteen staff and stewards. Easy peasy Jimmy squeezy.

Oh, how the mighty fall.

And they can feck right off if he thinks the Government will somehow contrive to fund a new stadium when we've managed to build ours without public funding. If that happens then we should be seeking similar reparation as we have actually kick-started redevelopment of an underused and desolate area of Liverpool. They really do not have that as an excuse.
