Zatman Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'm glad the media are starting to give the manager and owner the attention they both deserve. Won't really matter for a few reasons. It wont last and it wont matter to Lerner what the press think of the shambles he has presided over. The person who has put the most pressure on Lambert since he arrived here was Mourinho yesterday. think Mourinho reads Villatalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If someone as rich as the Man CIty owner's bought us I'm sure they'd find away around FFP. Put it this wayl, I wouldn't like said hypothetical owners to purchase another team because I've a good feeling what will happen despite the rules, money talks.

dudevillaisnice Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's still possible. However that Chelsea situation probably needs looking at, some of the deals there raise an eyebrow in a bad way. I have a feeling it isn't completely black and white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United can spend 100m, they buy from Madrid for 60m, who buy from Bayern for 50m, who buy from Barca for 40m. Next time, Madrid use their budget to buy from Man City, who buy from Barca, who buy from United. Each year there are one or two major transfers from the 'rich clubs' to each other, on inflated fees (Di Maria for example, next will be Bale to Man United and then a man United high earner to another rich club).

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 This sell players to each other for inflated fees theory is all well and good if you're already at the top table. We are not and I doubt any of the established teams would allows us there either. In order replicate what Man City or Chelsea have done, you'd need to spend huge sums of money on fees and wages thus running a club, initially, into huge losses. You can't do that these days because there are rules preventing you from generating such losses. Mansour ploughed money into the playing side of things knowing he had a head start on the FFP monitoring periods. Any newcomer with similar ideas would not have that luxury. You can't even add to your wage bill by more than£4M per year unless that money comes from non-TV revenue streams. There might be other ways of gate crashing the top four, but like I said - doing a Mansour is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You could offer good basic wages with the premise that if we were to reach the top 4, those wages would be bumped with a huge bonus + a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I refuse to believe that it's not possible to get there, but clearly it's going to be a long path (or a journey, to use a Foxism), and it will require a lot of good decisions being made throughout the club, much better decisions than we have been making under Lerner's tenure to date. I like Fox though. Maybe it's because he's a slick talker but he seems to talk sense, to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If he can't sell the club now, given the huge increase in TV money then he is a fool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
