Should this be allowed?

It's a business at the end of the day

Making money is the primary objective of football now, much as it pains me

99.6% of football clubs make losses, though.

If football is about making money, it's terrible at it.

Ok

It's about the pursuit of money at the expense of morality

How's that?

Don't agree with that, either.

TV companies, agents, managers and players make loads of money from football but the clubs themselves mostly only act as middleman who take the money off the fans and give it to the players without actually making any money out of the process themselves.

The clubs should take control and make some money by giving less to players, agents but clubs are too weak, man u gave rooney 300k a week incase he walked.

Man Utd is a company, not a football club. We shouldn't be surprised

Reds would consider trips abroad in next season's Champions League weeks to make up anticipated loss of £25m revenue if they miss out on European football

Manchester United will reportedly need FA permission to play a money-spinning friendlies abroad next season.
The Old Trafford giants are facing up to the possibility of a season without European football.
If they fail to beat Bayern Munich in the clubs' Champions League clash next Wednesday - they will miss out on playing in the competition completely in 2014/15..
And given United's travails in the Premier League, even a Europa League spot is unlikely.
If David Moyes fails to qualify for either of the Uefa competitions it will cost United in the region of a hefty £25million - making money spinning games in the Middle East or the US all the more attractive.
But Fifa and Uefa rules mean United would not be able to play non-competitive fixtures unless sanctioned by the FA, the Telegraph reports.
United constantly reject multi-million pound offers to play exhibition matches all over the world.
United played a friendly in Saudi Arabia in January 2008, the year they last won the Champions League, for which the club received an estimated fee of £2m.
The Reds broadcast their final pre-season friendly last year against AIK Solna in Stockholm on pay-per-view at £5.99 through the club’s in-house channel MUTV.
With a global fanbase estimated at around 650m, United could generate extra revenue by broadcasting friendlies on a pay-per-view basis, should they be unable to offer their fans European football in 2014-15.

If they want to pay £5.99 to watch Moyes team play. More fool them.

 

[Woolly Blue]

If it's "against the rules" and needs someone permission from the FA then it sounds a bit like a reverse of the "we're too busy to play the FA Cup" battle from a few seasons ago. It's a resounding no from me. Make them do extra training with Moyesy instead and get them running up and down some dunes somewhere.

True in general, but not in United's case where the club exists ( financially ) to pay it's debtors ( Glazers et al ) and it's shareholders.

Remember when your badge used to say Manchester United Football Club?
If Utd do go on mid-season jaunts - would it be for football reasons for financial reasons?

Yea and your point is ??

We are still a proper football club though

Every club generates money by various means does that mean that they are not football clubs ??

 

[peteblue]

They should just ask their 650M fans to donate 10p to the club and stop pretending to be a football club.......
