@markgoldbridge They should of just done this 3 months ago instead of saying they “want” Anderson and co and I would be less upset than I am now. However much needed reinforcement in midfield let’s hope he can recapture his form
@hesham786 if the club dont buy another midfielder they are even more of a joke than i thought. Mount has proven time and time again he is not fit to play
Per @valuball (with which Kieran Maguire is involved) — how much can United spend under FFP rules?
I have made posts like this based on data from United’s accounts that I have gathered. But let’s evaluate it based on external sources.
Valuball estimates that United’s squad cost is 56%, which is 14% from the 70% threshold. Consequently — United could increase the cost of its squad with 14%/56%=25%. Ie the costs can be increased with a 4th.
What does that mean in terms of transfer spending? In pure yearly cost it’s £125m. Remember, the yearly cost for signing a player for 100m and paying him 200k a week is 30m. So United could afford more than 4 signings at £100m each paid 200k a week without breaching FFP.
Please note that this is in relation to United’s income in 24/25 ~ ie while the club was in the EL. In reality — the room for United to spend under FFP is even bigger in the new CL.
I have several times this summer window heard insiders, supposedly with sources within the club, refer to how United had to wait before the new financial year to make deals due to FFP etc etc etc.
I hope everyone understand how absurd such reports are.
So why doesn’t United spend more? It’s simple, our owners aren’t backing that spending. Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Villa’s owners are on a regular basis pushing 100s of millions a into those clubs. Our owners are not and we paying their private debt.
@SwedishRumble The leadership can’t say things like the goal is win the league next year and best in class, and produce this type of transfer window and reasonings. If we are so “weak” the leadership must set reasonable expectations not say these things

The referee’s call of no penalty for a challenge by Truffert was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed the contact was not sufficient for a foul.

For those who don't understand:
• Glazers bought the club with a loan
• Transferred the debt of the loan to the club
• Have put £0 of their own money into the club
• All transfers have come from club revenue
• They have taken 2 billion from the club
