They've sold 3 or 4 already? Not sure whether it's Brentford or the dingles but isnt part of their investment group the person from moneyball?

Barnsley , and Nice also in same group. Revived Balotelli's career. Billy Bean's the guy, played by Brad Pitt in the movie, coached Oakland A's baseball team (think Leicester job). Brentford are the gambler's team , Matthew Benham. Also owns a club in Denmark. Again, stats - based buying polocy.

The guy from Moneyball is actually involved in Barnsley in some way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Definition of irony is fans on here laughing at United and their transfer policy. In the last few years we’ve probably spent £100m more than them, and ended up getting overtaken. Work that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not quite the £100m gulf you're suggesting. And remember that without a dodgy loan from the Bin Laden family they would have gone under a couple of years back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
