This is the same as any of the transfers we've had. Look at Maguire and Bruno transfers

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Lets hope we don't have to wait till Jan
Would be surprised if ours ins't more than double that amount.
Not just the loss of match-day revenue, the refunds we have had to make, the loss of broadcasting revenue, potential rebate. The list is endless.
Why? Wouldn't our sources of revenue be different from Dortmund? They may well rely on match day revenue more than we do. I'm sure we have chunks of regular sponsorship revenues that might make our balance sheets more defensive?
Re. broadcasting revenue, to what extent does this hurt us from our general annual profits? To go all the way to a loss of around £90m? That's probably too heavy a swing
Didn't we take out a loan of about 140m?
Yes
All the noise coming out of Dortmund just sounds as if they are signalling that they are ready to deal.
Its no "noise" or "signal", its just the normal anually buisiness-report coming out at the end of every june in every year.
Dortmund are definitely going to cave in to accepting a lower offer.
Hopefully. Any summer without a new top starting RW for us is a failure
They have to otherwise he has a year left on his contract going into next season. This summer is the last chance for big money on him.
I‘m not revering to your loss of 45mil. More the comments on Sancho and how they don’t think someone can afford him.
I guess the board keeps in mind that we got 60 Million for a Pulisic with only one year left and he was mostly sitting on the bench that season. No reason to hurry here.
That can be true. Wise strategy when one of your prey is a desperate Woodward who is well know for overpaying and speaking about war-chests. Perfect situation for getting as much as they can for Sancho. If you don't get the offer you want, wait a year more, got all the cards.
So like I said they are signalling they want to deal. Basically serving Sancho up and saying if you want him come pay for him.
Did you have 45m losses with more expected next year with a collapsed transfer market?
The only reason its still 100m is because its the remnants of pre pandemic days. Imagine next summer after another year of losses without a cure in sight.
Its all on this summer imo
They'll cash in this summer, because there's no way they'll be able to get more next year and they know it.
Hahaha, definitely not.
Pre pandemic, his evaluation was approaching 150m. If you got him for 100m now, it'd already be a big discount
No one was ever paying 150m for him even without the pandemic.
Didn't know he was a free agent this summer. Very interesting.
His future shirt sales/advertising potential are huge, but right now really aren't at that level. A lot of his home country have probably never seen him play outside of a few games for England in qualifiers. He's in the rare position for an English player that his reputation is just as high on the continent as it is in England right now.
100m pound is what? 120m euros? Its not far off!
I reckon that the likelihood of him seriously pushing for the move to happen this summer is high, he’s got nothing left to gain from staying at Dortmund.
They won’t be able to challenge for anything major under the current conditions and it’ll be hard for him to match the season he’s just had.
Agree, and in a pre COVID world you'd still get at least £80m for Sancho in the last year of his contract, I'm not sure that still stands at the moment though. Will be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the next couple of months.
I think Dortmund will get their asking price in the end, but I think the structure of the deal will be over many years instead of a couple.
The only thing may be his England place for the euros
For everyone saying ‘they will definitely sell this summer as they will get less next summer’, are people forgetting they are actually a Football team, that plays football? It isn’t as simple as that, if they sell him for £20m less next summer, it is not a loss, they have also realised an extra £20m of value by having a footballer called Jadon Sancho playing in their attack for another season. He will be worth less, financially, but he’ll also strengthen their team until he goes.
Dortmund were hoping that a bidding war would start over Sancho this summer but the reality is that it's looking unlikely to happen now.. I still believe that we will be in the strongest position to sign him and eventually i think we will be the only club to put in a serious acceptable offer 
That was a sum invented due to Barca’s panic buying of Dembele. He was never going to go for the same price as he or Mbappe. 100-110mil was probably more the realistic fee and that seem to be around what Dortmund are trying to stick at. Maybe that will be the fee but I can see Ed trying to get it done for 80 mil and this dragging the whole window till someone budges.
I think we'll pay around 80 mil and some additional performance based add--ons taking it closer to 100m.
I get that but that only works if they do better than they have this season. For example, United finish top 4 then the extra money spent on Maguire, AWB, Bruno is justified. If they sell Sancho for less next summer, they out of CL in quarter final, 2nd behind Bayern then there was no value to keep him.
You would rather the £100m this summer, invest £50m of it and finish second and get to the quarter final of CL.
They may end up losing more than £20m, no one is paying £100m for him next summer with a year left.
The Times isn’t reliable and it’s behind a paywall so I can’t even read it.
Can't see many possibilities for him other than us tbh.
The first part of your post makes sense, but then you want us to cheap out on a bunch of players nowhere near good enough to start?
Thanks for this wise post. One example was already made: The board decided to let run down Lewandowskis contract instead of selling him to Bayern a year before cause the sum they offered was to little and having Lewandowski in your team for one more year was more value to the club than the sum Bayern wanted to pay.
Big difference selling your main striker to your main rival and selling Sancho to the premier league though. Not the best example. Either way I don’t think we will get him anyway, unless we fork out £100m. Regardless, Dortmund will still function and still finish 2nd with or without Sancho.
A lot depends on the player though
That’s not really similar though. Lewa was in his last year of his contract and you were probably offered peanuts.
I will say around the same figure as Pogba with add-ons taking it to around £110m
