The historical picture is clear.
LFC have scope for approximately 40million in transfers.
FSG have worked to increase revenues, lent 120mil with expectation to get it back over 10 years and in general support the club only to turn it into a self sustaining asset they exploit commercially (ride the coat tails).
Its neither sell to buy nor anything like it.
By contrasts the "don't even paint the steel" merchants would have you believe the glaziers have drained utd dry. nothing could be further from the real truth. Over the past 10/12 years utd's revenues have doubled Depending on what model of fakery you believe they are either most valuable or 4th most valuable club on the planet (the broke Spanish clubs somehow are worth more to some)
the last time utd had a negative net spend was 2009 when ronaldo left. since 2014 its been well north of 60mil per year.
The utd fans have this chip on their shoulders that their owners take some money (their asset their money btw

) out.
The incompetence at the top at utd is clear for all to see but its on the football side and something ferguson did nothing to address as he moved to retire. he appointed his own replacement and start utd out on the path to 7th. 60mil next spend every year and a lot more.
this summer 75mil so far, last season, 60mil season before, 130mil, season before, 55mil.
The real truth is the american model is to make money so they focus on real revenues as they do not have access to a states oil reserves to create holding companies and other such mechanisms to pay half the expenses.
Utd go into next season with a very expensive 30mil keeper, Back 4 likely to be a 50mil RB, a 50mil RCB, a 80mil LCB and a 30MIL RB. Then a 50mil fred lols, a 90mil odd pogba, a 56 mil fernandes. then up top something of the order of a 70mil martial, a 75mil sancho and one other possibly cavani as rashford is recovering.
don't know they were born comes to mind.
Our team will be similarly expensive. Its miles off sell to buy jibes. extremely expensive keeper, back 4 that cost 110mil or so, midfield 3 that 2 are older in but you could still fit a keita or ox reserve in to inflate the value and 3 form 4 forwards who all cost 30mil + and 45 mil in jota's case.
We have run more negative net spend seasons because we've had more times clubs have seen us as someone to pick players out of but that was our own incompetence and poor former owners fault.
The argument is one with cheap shots but read like we don't know we were born, pure privilege compared to the clubs who have the work hard for it every year just to keep in the league.
I know of a chelsea fan on social media who genuinely cannot understand the concept that the clubs seeking to buy tammy abrahams cannot afford to pay cheslea money for a lad nearly out of contract so they won't get 50 or 60mil. genuinely cannot get west ham won't spend 40mil on a player.
