I live in Cheshire, so I know a load of Man Utd fans. I'd say there's an even split between those who see this decline as an inevitable consequence of poor management from the top down and sound management by their competitors, and then the others who genuinely think they're temporarily...

Not looking to start an argument or anything, but that doesn't ring true with me so I had a look. 3 of our 5 shots on target came during that period. 10 of our 13 shots. During the same time frame, you had 2 shots, one of which was on target. Also, the Wieffer thing, he literally fouled...

An unhappy consequence of the Champions League shake up. Where once some elite sides would drop into the competition and comfortably put away teams that've been as bad as Man Utd or Spurs, now the Premier League sides have such a financial advantage over the UEL sides, they're going to be odds...

I don't doubt this for a second.

Willock was bought before the takeover.

I've posted before about it but here's some pub advice;

Fortunately there isn't a Turkish Embassy down the Bigg Market.

Part of me is pleased to hear he looks good for you and will be a part of the first team instead of warming the bench, part of me wants to take the authors of the PSR regs out back and shoot them. He was supposed to be the answer to our RW problem, but instead we've had to sell him (and...

See the lad scored for you already, obviously I didn't watch the game so what's your opinion of him?

:LOL: You can't sell your young stars if you don't have any.

Makes a change from other clubs taking your promising players, I guess. It's rare for us. can't remember the last time we were forced to sell a young star. Maybe Carroll? Coincidence that it's roughly the same transfer fee. For what it's worth Minteh has more promise than Carroll did.

Yep, broken metatarsal, he'll miss much of the first half of the season. But hopefully we'll keep the others fit; Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff, Tonali and Willock. From those 5 we've got variety and a little depth.

Well, if you want Krafth, he could solve both those problems for you. Yours for just a reasonable fee, say £10m?

I've no idea if this is the case, but my personal take is that because of who owns us we're going to great lengths to at least appear like we're doing everything above board. I mean even the shirts sponsor and sleeve sponsors are within 'fair market value' all be it at the upper reaches...

It'll be interesting to see if the number of injuries stays as high this coming season. Aside from the two young wingers, are you expecting to do big business this window? I know that even though we've signed 3 free transfers and officially signed Lewis Hall, we'll have about £100m to spend on...

Have to be honest, selling Minteh was always something I expected to happen this window or next. The plan was for the same to happen with Garang Kuol, but he didn't show anything in his loan spells to warrant any club coming in for him. I was shocked that we got £33m for him, even more...

I absolutely agree with this and worry that my position isn't clear. Again, there absolutely should be a cap on spend for fees or wages, or both? There should be rules about the number of players a team has on it's books, the number of 'homegrown' talent they have to name in their squad, the...

Man City didn't have the regulations to comply with. There was no PSR/FFP, there were no rules against commercial deals with associated parties, there were no rules against buying or selling between associated football clubs. We've been compliant and have made great strides in commercial deals...

Sorry, think there's been some misunderstanding. I'm all for a cap, some kind of limit to what a club can fritter away on expensive gambles like Mudryk or Antony. But that cap shouldn't be to the benefit of the established teams, or to the uber-wealthy, but more to the benefit of the chasing...

Astronomical? Over the past 5yrs, they've spent c€145m net, so a little under €30m a season. Now that they are in the Champions League, they have to sell their best player, trade players with other PL clubs to magically create accounting wriggle room and they'll still be way behind the...
