colhint Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I'm sure there main sponsors will stick around at reduced prices, but man city and arsenal might be looking a better option for the tractor partnerships. The other thing is they have a £200m wave bill already and hardly any of their players would get in another top 8 team. I think they will have a £100m bomb squad for the next 3 years.

colhint Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Add to this the market value has dropped by about £1b in the last 3 years. All these things can't keep going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 2 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2 Brailsford will be sanding down their shirts and taking a micrometer to their boots and discovering they're all asthmatic and pumping them full of horse testosterone as we speak. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cheating. Aye, but bringing it back to United... my point is he's clearly a clever, bend all the rules, get the best out of whatever you can, and get results kind of bloke. Maybe he needs more time or it only works in cycling... or perhaps, and hopefully more likely, United are just rotten throughout and nothing and noone can save them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 No WFH now either. Radcliff wants everyone back in the office 101% efficent. Bet that's come from Braislford too, with his agreggated marginal gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 3 hours ago, Genie said: A prolonged period out of the CL will definitely cost them money. Their multi-year sponsorship deals will be ratcheted down if they are not playing in the big one for more than 1 year. They've finished outside the CL places 5 of the last 10 seasons since Fergie retired, they might have a bad season or two but will end up having a good season at some point and getting back in it, which will be even easier now as there will always be the possibility of 5th getting a CL spot. There worst season since Fergie is equaled to our best in the same period, excluding this season. Their demise is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the other day that they’ve also stripped right back the perks the staff used to get when the team got to a cup final. 1 ticket instead of 2, travel now £20 was free, some other stuff too like scrapping a meal and hotel rooms. It’s crazy to think that the total of what they save pissing off a few hundred loyal staff members is less than a week of what they pay Rashford who doesn’t give a shit. They’ll be talking about the good old days under the Glazers before you know it. Edited May 2 by Genie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 P*ss off the staff who earn a 1/10th in a year that Rashford 'earns' in a week. What a way to get everyone onboard with a new era... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 8 hours ago, ender4 said: 7th in the league will be a European place once Man City win the FA Cup. No way are Man Utd falling down to 8th. Also, they have long term fixed sponsorship. A year out of Europe won’t make any difference to the money they earn if they didn’t have Europe for one season. Chelsea three points off them now. I could easily see them finishing 8th with the fixtures they have left. Palace and Arsenal should beat them based on current form and then Newcastle will be pretty happy to get a point as they have easier game. Chelsea will finish above them if they end the season on 55-56 points as they still have four games left themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 3 Moderator Share Posted May 3 If they kick off at Palace on Monday in 8th place (which is very much a possibility) then a defeat there would see an angry little eruption of hilarious proportions. They'd have Arsenal and Newcastle to follow too. This could be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need them maybe beat Palace and a brave fight against Arsenal and a draw against Newcastle Plus Conference League be more humiliating than no Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 6 Moderator Share Posted May 6 To progress, they really need to replace at least these players from their squad: Lindelof Amrabat Martial Eriksen Casemiro Varane Sancho Van de Beek Evans That's without the injury prone players, those with bad attitudes and those who are just kids. They need at least half a dozen really good Premier league players to compete in the top six and probably more than that. It's all very well blaming the manager, but they're an absolute mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lumping him in with the attitude lot - he's a good enough player to keep around - whether they can get him motivated enough is a different thing.
