Glazernomics explained:
-United could have bought like Semenyo, Emerson from Atalanta (or another CM) and a wing back like say Jeremie Frimpong for app. an additional £160m in the summer of 2025. In that case Amorim would have been backed. They did not for cash flow reasons.
-Firing Amorim and crew will cost United 20m.
-Missing CL will cost the club £100m plus.
-United will spend roughly around £160m on another winger, CM and fullback in the summer of 2026.
So it’s perfectly possible that putting off an investment in the squad of £160m from 25’ to 26’ will cost the club at least £125m. Is this financially defendable? Absolutely not. The cost of money is 5-10% per year. Ie the additional cost of investing £160m in the squad in 2025 instead of in 2025 is just £8m to £16m. The “alternative cost” of not making the investment is £125m.
It’s said in a negative way that United is run as a business. Nothing could be further from the truth — run a business like this and you could end up in jail.
A relevant question is — OK, we all recognize how the 6 Glazer siblings have run the club in a braindead fashion. But they aren’t business persons, they are ordinary Joes and none of them ever accomplished anything in their lives unlike their dad who bought the club. But how come Ineos/Ratcliffe keeps running the club like this?
The answer to this is very telling. We don’t know if Ineos painted themselves into a corner with the agreement with the Glazers, we don’t know whether they have any money or if they just see United as a giant vanity project in the form of a black back table. But facts are that our owners are taking extremely high risks with the future of the club.
We will spend 750m over the coming three years on the transfer market. Our owners could in the summer have said — enough is enough. Man United can’t finish 15th. Here is an interest free share holder loan of 250m. You can spend 500m in the summer of 25’ and then 125m in 26’ and 125m in 27’ instead of 250m per year those three years.
This is why the owners must be pressured. Why there should be protests at OT and game called off. This is our club. When it doesn’t do well — it’s us, the fans that suffer. There are extremely low hanging fruit available to improve the club on the owner side. Neville and co put 100% of the blame on the manager and players.
Bruno lifting a major trophy with United would be one of the greatest stories this sport has ever written.
He arrived on promises of revival, found only ruins, and stayed through the darkest years of the club while in his prime. No glory, no reward, just loyalty and fire. He carried a fallen empire on his back when others ran to chase coins. Again, for me @B_Fernandes8 is Manchester United.
Today marks 106 years since Britain issued its colonial #BalfourDeclaration, which gave our land away and reduced us to the "non-Jewish" population. The ongoing campaign of mass murder against our people in #Gaza and all over #Palestine is a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of that declaration. It is the responsibility of the UK to correct this historic injustice, demand an immediate end to Israel's aggression, recognise the #State_of_Palestine and collect international support to once and for all end Israel's #occupation.
