If Poch does go there, MU will also sign Harry Kane for a world record fee, which woul be almost repaid in a week by global shirt sales. It would last until Real Madrid usurp that.

Dude. You're forgetting it's not the 80s again. The MU kit is manufactured by Adidas, not MU.

And what is the % that Manchester United get from shirt sales? Juve managed to sell a lot of shirts after the Ronaldo signing bringing in something like a 100 million euros, (exact figures I do not know), but with all due respect to Juve, Manchester United has a considerably bigger global support, so said shirt manufaccturer and club are destined to gain if such a transfer went through.
 
That's the end of Burnley's sticky run of fixtures. Hopefully it's damaged their confidence enough that they don't take advantage of a kinder set of fixtures going forward: Everton (h), West Ham (h), Huddersfield (a), Fulham (h), Watford (a).

I heard that at the time. Puel obviously stuck to his guns...we may not agree with that, but it shows integrity.

Integrity. Or shows that he wasn’t that good.

Although he tore up the French League didn’t he. Or maybe that league just ain’t so tough.

From memory, only Wenger has really succeeded as a French Manager in the EPL, seems strange that.

"Tore up" might be an overstatement. I remember running the numbers when he was hired, comparing Puel's teams with him as manager to their results in the seasons immediately before/after he was hired, and he seemed to neither make teams better or worse in general. Which was pretty well my impression of him when here, too.

I think he made Nice better, but I did type that with a firm tongue in my cheek.
