A contract is a contract - they can't force a reduction Think they wont be offering higher going forward. De Gea expires this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Gea expires this summer Yep, can't help but think that the announcement is linked hi the de gea negotiations, the good times are over, who knows who else they have lined up for renewals next, could be ways round it with bonuses and signing fees etc To be fair to them they're probably right when you look at the performances and mentality of their highest paid players over the years, de gea, pogba, sanchez, now ssancho gives them the opportunity to reset the structure rather than have players like Anthony come in and get a 6x pay rise Edited January 11, 2023 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may cap wages at a mere £200,000 a week but for players they want to pay more will get monthly extras like loyalty bonuses. Haaland apparently earns more in the extras than he does in his basic pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been terribly run in recent years and need to make these types of policy changes. Edited January 12, 2023 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been terribly run in recent years and need to make these types of policy changes. I doubt many are performance based. Loyalty bonuses paid quarterly are the norm now. To act as an incentive not to push for a transfer. We saw Sterling’s loyalty payment on his leaked Man City payslip, it’s just a way of keeping a (false) wage structure. Maybe it’s also a FFP loophole enabling clubs like City and PSG to stack their squad on mega salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I feel ill that if it's them vs Newcastle in the League Cup final I'm going to have to actually want Man Utd to win a trophy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Have Man United had the easiest run to a cup final in history (assumes they beat Forest)?

Ours in 2015 was easy, certainly up to the semi final- Blackpool, Bournemouth reserves, Leicester, Albion. All home ties. I think we used all of our luck in one year and have to wait another five years to be allowed to win a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewe, Brighton reserves, Wolves under 20s, Liverpool under 12s up to the SF at least the other year. Of course we didn't put out our best 11 ourselves in those ties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Liverpool under 12s, it was their reserves as the 1st team buggered off to the middle east. Maybe you are thinking of the FA Cup match when WE played our under 12s against them and they went full strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
