Genie Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I think the revenue gap between Liverpool and MU has shrunk a lot over the last 10 years since United have lost their regular CL income (and the emergence of City). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I've always thought of Liverpool as a bigger club than Man Utd in footballing terms but Man Utd bigger commercially and I don't mean that as a compliment, basically Utd seem more like a brand than a football club the whole of football getting like that now but seems United have always been that way. Also I haven't been following the situation but I'm not sure I believe that they're really for sale, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just something their owners have said or implied to keep fans off their back.

Talk of £6b - £7b asking price suggests they aren’t really for sale. Edited November 24, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what happened to their share price since the announcement? I'm guessing such an announcement was just because they ate on the stock exchange Expecting them to sell off another 10%for a fair few hundred million Would be interesting from a purely business perspective how much money they've made from utd, incredible purchase for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Greenwoods trial has been set for November 2023 Not sure what utd are doing or will do over his contract but I doubt he'll be allowed in the building until after the trial, even if he's not guilty that's a long way back (based on the audio recording if that is him it's hard to see him coming back regardless of the verdict) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Ideally I guess they’d like to sack him but it isn’t going to be possible for a long time (if at all). Edited November 24, 2022 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if both those clubs go under saudi ownership meaning three clubs under themthat will be the final nail on coffin. Can see fans leaving in the game in their droves as it should wont have any excitement anymore Edited November 24, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they can take the debt for that on, but wouldn't they already have to pay off the debt already owed to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whats the point for clubs like villa arsenal spurs etc Only way it stays competitive is salary cap, wage cap and teams only allowed x amount of players in their sqiad including reserves and youngsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
