There might be a bit of `hush money` for Byrne in there as well. It`s not about what`s been spent, it`s what it`s been spent on. Sam`s January signings showed it can be spent wisely and Moyes has previous for being pretty good in that regard so we may be (at last) on the right track. Finally getting rid of the expensive dross has to be a big plus.
That would be on next years published accounts, that's ofcourse if they decide to publish that information which they won't. We never publish outgoing staff's pay offs, something that will remain a mystery forever.
As will the reason for her appointment in the first place. Anyway, back OT, where we`ve suffered imo is resale value. Nothing. Giveaways. Ashley spent £80m and was relegated yet he still manages to recoup a wad. We spend millions, stay up and get nowt. Coppers at best. I hoped Bain would do something about that but with the Kaboul episode I`m not holding my breath.
Man c minus £163m, Man u minus 152m ! Chelsea not in Europe taking a huge gamble -£86m but all 3 joint top of the premier league. How the hell can the Manchester clubs keep spending that mount of money ?. Man u have massive sponsorship I suppose. If we got mancini here from the start before saggy, we would have won the premier league twice and the F A cup and played in the champions league, be in big debt mind but won trophies.
Please remind me about which team you support, Monty . . . . I'm trying to think logically, but I've got nee idea
Because they bring in huge amounts in merchandising and marketing, have Champions League football, and players who shift shirts. Adidas released yesterday that £89million Pogba has sold £176million of shirts already. We aren't ever going to be in the same league as a United + top star pairing. Mancini is a cheque book manager, shut the **** up about him unless we get a sheikh in aye?
I remember when Beckham signed for Madrid, Adidas made 33m euro's in the first week, covering his transfer costs.
