Every club does this it isn't exclusive to United, you think Chelsea have shelled out all this up front?Most of our recent signings have been on tick too

I don’t think spending £100m + is the same as having some money for reinforcements when we are clearly doing well on the season. If we wernt skint we would’ve had a better January.But we spent a heap last summer? You hardly expect us to spend £100m+ every transfer window?
We do have very low cashflow currently. We are a multi billion pound company so we are not "skint" but we also don't have owners who are willing to float our cashflow like some clubs do.But we spent a heap last summer? You hardly expect us to spend £100m+ every transfer window?
We have all been there sureToo much Viagra in his coffee.
I do have to laugh when people say this. A good first-teamer at our level is easily 60-70m, if not more. 100m is not what it was 20 years ago.But we spent a heap last summer? You hardly expect us to spend £100m+ every transfer window?
That’s not the same thing. Every club pays in instalments, but you can’t buy players without paying a portion up front, for the most part. It’s well documented either way.Every club does this it isn't exclusive to United, you think Chelsea have shelled out all this up front?
I’ll try to find the link. But there was one where a journalist I think Telegraph, wrote “this is turning out to be quite an enjoyable World Cup, are we allowed to write that? “If this is true, it’s really a vile and dirty thing to do.
Do you like the Glazers as owners?Its very simple. If you find the Qataris buying United is too much. Stop supporting United if you feel so strongly against it. Its as simple as. Thats about the only thing you have control over -- unless you happen to have £5--6billion spare sitting around. But I am sure we can find a few people whinging about you as a potential owner too.
There is way too much virtue signalling going on this thread.
I don't think he's BS tbh. We're not talking about Goldbridge here.Flex knows no inside information.
ffsBeautiful news. Even more great after the vile media campaign against Qatar during the World Cup where British journalist were told not to report good news. That’s what I call a moral win.
But morality aside. Funds funds funds.

Look, I had pictures of Martin Buchan, and Gordan McQueen on my walls as a kid.If you're able to think about it solely from the perspective of a fan of a football team, sure. I can't compartmentalise it like that. To me, seeing the club I've supported since childhood become a PR-front for a dictatorship is a far worse 'sentence' than seeing it being used as a cash-cow by some billionaires.
If only.... I will buy the bone saws on ali express and ship it there.Nothing would make me happier than to see them taking a slight detour to the Saudi embassy on the way to dropping Joel and Av off at the airport as soon as the documents are signed.
Cnuts but the bigger cnuts were the bastards that allowed the LBO to happen. They were the ones we really should have focused out outrage on then.Do you like the Glazers as owners?
Why didn’t you just stop supporting the club?Cnuts
I think you misread his post astronomically.Why didn’t you just stop supporting the club?
You are not THE blueprint on growing older. feck me the ego on you.One grows out of this as one matures. I had the same moral outrage over the first Million-pound transfer or even Keano asking & getting 60k/week.
Agree with your last point, but it's really anything but simple.Its very simple. If you find the Qataris buying United is too much. Stop supporting United if you feel so strongly against it. Its as simple as. Thats about the only thing you have control over -- unless you happen to have £5--6billion spare sitting around. But I am sure we can find a few people whinging about you as a potential owner too.

Its like work. Sometimes you have to do business with people you don't like. Dems da brek.Qatari's will be taking over this club and fans may get used to it.
Why? The guy is telling fans who are unhappy about the potential new owners to stop supporting the club.I think you misread his post astronomically.
So but I simply refuse to use supporting United as a moral judgement of who I am as a person. Nor will I be wasting time over something that I have ZERO control over. That's a lesson in life.You are not THE blueprint on growing older. feck me the ego on you.
With the context that he won't and is just tired of the "virtue signalling" as he put it. Yet you are acting as though he insinuated that HE would stop supporting the club if he didn't like the owners which was the complete opposite of what he was getting at.Why? The guy is telling fans who are unhappy about the potential new owners to stop supporting the club.
Its not simple. But to worry or pontificate over something that you have no control over -- other than stop supporting United are your choices -- is pointless especially when its been going on & on for a couple of hundred pages. Same old points been repeated over & over & over again.Agree with your last point, but it's really anything but simple.
Stop supporting United and then what? Pick another team? Root against the real heart of soul of this club - the players? Forget the history? Burden my children, who are now getting into United, with my own politics that they don't care about?
Anything but simple I'm afraid.
If they are in it then they'll probably will. Actually the FFP rules are making things more likely as it had ended their option of buying a pub team (ex Newcastle and Shitty) and turn them into world beaters.Qatari's will be taking over this club and fans may get used to it.
Awesome, good for you. Now stop forcing your own shitty takes on everyone else. That's a lesson in life.So but I simply refuse to use supporting United as a moral judgement of who I am as a person. Nor will I be wasting time over something that I have ZERO control over. That's a lesson in life.
I didn’t insinuate that he would stop supporting the club? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.With the context that he won't and is just tired of the "virtue signalling" as he put it.

Honestly, the only thing that would bother me is if we turn into a Harlem globetrotter. I think the fans need to insist that we have to have 2-3 academy players in the 1st team/starters year on year. To me, losing that is losing the soul of the club.I personally look forward to our new Qatari overlords and think Mbappe and Haaland will link up very well with Rashford.
Yes it is a joke.
I can understand wanting glazers to go and bringing change in ownership but then there is this.What amazing news to wake up to! Oil me up, baby, let's go! "NO!” to Ratcliffe and any more Americans!
I’m not denying that money talks. It’s business.I’m sure they will be when they get their own stadium and training ground.
This is page 272.I didn’t insinuate that he would stop supporting the club? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
If he’s tired of listening to people talk about morals, he’s welcome to not read it. For the record, plenty of people have already said that they would likely stop supporting the club in one way or another if we were to become a sports washing operation. He’s acting like these people should just walk away now instead of discussing it…on an internet forum.
Any yet the social warriors/virtue signallers here are forcing their same old re-treaded remarks here, some page 273 later. At least my comments aren't as frequently posted unlike the signallers.Awesome, good for you. Now stop forcing your own shitty takes on everyone else. That's a lesson in life.
