eph12: I see. Let’s assume that transfer decisions are tough, are they made by the board? |

Illimitable: Loool, so your definition of spending is how much spent on transfers as a percentage of revenues? ![]() Oya, add Chelsea, tell me what percentage of their turnover is spent on transfers? 3 Likes 1 Share |

nitrogen: They have all outspent Man Utd in comparison to their turnovers. All those time Ferguson was covering up for the Glazers that there was no value in the market, City was spending good money on Yaya Toure, Aguero, Kompany, Balotelli, etc. By the time Ferguson sauntered into his retirement, Man City were ripe to start reaping their benefits. It’s not a surprise they have now won more PL titles than Chelsea and Arsenal in such a short period of time. That is ambition. |

Illimitable: Average revenue in the last 10 years was 550m for City and 600m for Utd, and both clubs have spent over a billion in the same period. So tell me why we should spend 500m per transfer window? 1 Like |

nitrogen: Average revenue in the last 10 years was £550m for City? How? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Illimitable: 6:44pm On Aug 16, 2022 |
This was the PL clubs’ revenue in 2014/15. United were by far raking in the most money and signing the most useless players among the top clubs in the PL.

Illimitable:It’s you who’s not getting the logic, I’ll break it down for you. Your transfer model is totally different from City’s. The latter has a more efficient model. They don’t buy overpriced players and don’t dish out bumper pay any how+ they don’t run their players dry before selling, Hence the players are easier to offload, look at the sales of Sterling to Chelsea and Jesus to Arsenal for example. They get some money from these sales and only need to add small change to get better quality and sometimes pay these guys lower wages than the outgoing players. That’s good business if you ask me. You guys on the other hand pay way above market rate for average players or players that have passed their prime and you expect such players to leave, coupled with the bogus wage, you expect a club to inherit such. Imagine Pogba had to leave for free, a record signing for that matter, that’s a huge loss. Players most times won’t want to leave for less. There lies your issue and reason for low turn over as you pointed. I still remember how Bastian Schweinsteiger and Rooney had to be forced out. 3 Likes |

kokaneprodigy: The club isn’t spending. For the club to spend, they have to replace the old bags and they aren’t doing that. If they were replacing at a quicker rate like the other clubs do, they would be forced to spend. |

kokaneprodigy: And whose fault is that? The fans? If the board is incompetent and cannot get rid of the players that don’t suit the current manager’s philosophy, how is that the fault of the fans? If the board is also idiotíc that they are giving mediocre players a fat contract, how is that the fault of the fans? I don’t understand the basis of your argument. |

nitrogen: I know you love the Glazers to a fault but this is to let you know the Glazers experiment has cost Man Utd £1.6 billion. Without them, that amount would have gone into squad investment and fixing the deplorable state of the stadium. And back to the topic that United have been competitive or matching their immediate rivals in the transfer market, this is the true picture of the last 5 years(which is more relevant than the last 10 years).

This thing is simple. Appoint a competent DOF with a certain strategy and philosophy. Let him have the major say on the football structures, appointments , including the manager and scouts and everything. The most important thing is make money available to him every year. But they won't do this, guess why? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Illimitable: 7:12pm On Aug 16, 2022 |
ChristoBam: Kroos, Modric, David Silva, Yaya Toure, etc and so many other talents were available in the summer of 2011. Alex Ferguson told us there was no value in the market and brought back a 38 year-old Scholes in January 2012. ![]() ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 7:19pm On Aug 16, 2022 |
It's because of good structures, Madrid brought in Tchoameni and Camavinga as ready replacement for the ageing guys. Meanwhile these old guys are still performing at the highest level. This is how we should be operating. We're looking for strikers seriously now when we discovered Ronaldo will probably leave. Something fans have been saying since we lost out on the UCL. That Ronaldo will definitely leave. Meanwhile City signed Haaland and Alavarez at once. Incompetent people are always reactive. No planning because they're not even sure what to go for. 5 Likes 1 Share |
