People keep saying he took the easy option - i'm simply asking what his other options were Not "he must have had other offers" So, what options did he turn down in order to take "the easy option" Just that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richer owners. It happens. It’s entitlement from United fans to think they should be above City every season. Like I said earlier. Football happens in cycles. Man Utd’s time will come soon - and that will be thanks for the owners financing signings like Sancho and Ronaldo. They aren’t financing them. Really don’t know how many times I and all the financial accounts have to tell you but it clearly isn’t sinking in. The Glazers leave tomorrow and those signings could happen as a result of the money the club naturally generates. They are financing nothing- the club is paying for THEM to be owners. Utd haven’t won the league in nearly a decade. Yes they came 2nd, but they were nowhere near challenging. The clubs stadium and training facilities have fallen behind the likes of City, Spurs, Leicester. All that against the backdrop of the Glazers taking millions out. They are a disgrace and if they were at SWFC I reckon you’d feel very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've spent several pages arguing about a hypothetical scenario you've made up in your head where Lionel Messi could have joined any club in England. Btw, Ronaldo will be the highest paid player in the PL when his transfer goes through, so I don't think him rocking up to England is due to some altruistic reasoning.

People don't seem to understand that the Glazers are not like City or Chelsea's owners. They see Man U spend crazy amounts and assume it is coming out of the Glazer's pockets when it isn't. I suppose the Glazers deserve some credit for taking steps to make Man U as profitable as they are. Think the clubs floats on the stock exchange and generates crazy amounts of commercial income. But I'd suggest that was more motivated by wanting to take out huge dividends every financial year rather than for the overall good of the club. Call me cynical, but I'm not sure they'd have agreed to spend so much money this window were it not for the whole SL debacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no vision for building the club up and creating a legacy. OT sits on a massive site and they’ve done fizz all with it. All this whilst City build fan parks, youth pitches, the lot. For the Glazers it’s about keeping costs under control, keep revenue ticking over and drawing money out. Britain’s biggest club deserves way better and that kind of leveraged buy out ownership model should never have been approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
