Woody got a free pass to take credit with our growing revenue by doing the bare minimum. Record breaking TV deals for the Premier League at a time when United were the main team to watch. I swear to God a bunch of monkies would have made as good or better deals. Chevy actually whores itself out for sponsorship. And would Adidas really have passed on taking over our shirts after a decade of Nike? It's catching up to him now...we're not the top grossing side in football and it's going to trend downward
Oh yes he has. We're Manchester United, the world's top companies were literally tripping over themselves to offer their partership. In this period of record-breaking TV deals, we're the club who has grown the least year on year, out of the top 6.
City have recently overtaken us as most valuable club. Our financial advantage diminishes by the day, to the point where it's not unlikely that Liverpool could overtake us in revenues if they keep up their trajectory. How many thought that possible 10 years ago?
Matchday and commercial revenues are flat for the last three years, annual wage bill increases are being paid for by regular increases in the Premier League/UEFA's TV deals.
If the TV deals stop growing, we're done. Another season like this one and the Adidas deal drops by 30%. Squad full of mediocre overpaid mercenaries. So we're not even getting what we paid for. Rotten club culture. Weird Disney land analogies.
Under-invests at a relative period of success last season. If he was as clever as he thinks, he would have gone all out last summer when players will have been interested to come. We could have nabbed Van Dijk ahead of Liverpool I'm sure.
I haven't even got to this season!
Now we're scrambling, trying to convince players to come when we have no leverage after a terrible season. He's a moron.
Genius, my arse.
