He’s right ! Standards

They couldn’t borrow £1billion to give them a transfer pot. Transfer purchases are linked to income (PSR) borrowing a billion doesn’t increase their income. King of Spain purchased Real Madrid’s training ground for an inflated amount and sold it back for €1 to clear RM debt ahead of FFP in 00’s

Agree with that entirely. FFP/PSR was brought in to stop for example what Leeds did in the 00’s and nearly went bust. No governing body is ever gonna stop an owner clearing a clubs debt.

A debt free Man Utd would always have an advantage over other clubs due to our income (genuine income not exaggerated like City). In reality if debt free we wouldn’t need any billionaire owner putting money in we make enough it’s Glazer debt repayments that have killed us.

That is effectively what city are accused of selling a sponsorship deal for an exaggerated price to inflate their income that’s what many of the charges relate to that and not making financial disclosures.

A new owner however could not just buy Man Utd and say there’s £1billion to spend on players

Everton’s owners have cleared their debts but they’re the only owner. INEOS only own 25% so never gonna put more in without gaining more ownership. A new owner could purchase Glazer and INEOS shares 100% and clear all debts no issues ( they’d need deep pockets obvs).

No new owner at Utd is going to clear our debt why would they, but if they did that’s no issue. That’s not why City have been charged. City exaggerated sponsorship deals to show they had higher income than they actually did allowing them to spend more.

Honestly, how does anyone listen to that prick Merson he’s literally the worst pundit ever and has been stealing a living from Sky for years. If he told me it was daytime I’d go and check

Thanks Adam, wasn’t sure but from memory, But nothing good has ever come from players being represented by family. Let’s not forget Paul Scholes turned up to contract negotiations with his accountant and asked what do you want to pay me and where do I sign !

Entirely agree with this.
He’s let himself down and needs to leave

Isn’t he represented by Roc Nation ? Jay Z talent agency ! I’m fairly sure he is

He’s got to many family “guiding” him he’s too emotional he’s unable to block out the noise and he’s forgotten what it means to play for the club. He needs to leave. Too many stories that he’s unapproachable to young players. Call it what it is he’s unprofessional and a disruptive influence.

The Mrs has one, we went away for the weekend to Abersoch and she brought it, took up half the boot

Did you never see the Ta ra Fergie banner from the late 80’s it’s styled on that I assume

Firmly believe whilst the club have to take the main responsibility for development of players and not giving to much too soon, players choosing to have family represent them rarely ends well.

Agree with you Gary, he needed a strong football person in his ear. Family members just want to get best wages they can. The club have to take much of the responsibility though. Lingard, Greenwood, Rashford and previously Morrison. They needed strong influences to make it not huge wages.
