Commercially we are up there with the best global brands, football wise I've seen better in the Sunday leagues.
Pretty much this.Manchester United have always been an extremely poorly run football club...always.
Our periods of success have simply been down to 3 managers that were stronger characters than the faceless nomarks who have run this club.

I was thinking of this the other day. I’ll use the example of our £75m per year Adidas deal. Ground breaking at the time and the highest in football at the time, but now surpassed by Real Madrid and Barca and I don’t think our PL rivals are too far behind us with their new deals. Same applies with other sponsors and future deals.Commercially we are up there with the best global brands, football wise I've seen better in the Sunday leagues.
Duh duh duh derWorst run organisation since Nokia.
It’s easier to sell sponsorship when we were recently winning leagues with regularity, they won’t find it easy when it comes round to negotiate some of these contracts when we can’t even confidently forecast champions league any more.We are tops as a business, but way down the ladder as a football club. We need to put more into the footballing side of things, for the great supporters we have.
I really can’t see the Glazers here for the long term, I think they’ll be looking for a exit strategy and right now would be the ideal time for them to get maximum out of it. Like I said commercially we are up there and although we are on a downwards spiral in footballing terms it hasn’t yet hit the pocket hard. Plus we’ve got Brexit (hate that word now) so the markets might be slowing down. I’m saying all this in the hope they sell so might be just blabbering because of my agenda.I was thinking of this the other day. I’ll use the example of our £75m per year Adidas deal.

Now imagine when we start to renegotiate with Adidas. They are going to look at us as a club whose young international fan base will be slowing down, the 5-10 year old kids from around the world between 2015-2022 will more likely support City / Pool etc and will grow up supporting those teams.
Basically. What Ed said about being Shiitee on the pitch not effecting money coming into the till was true in the short-term but very very wrong in the long term.
