Netspend is a wang waving metric.
It doesn't take into consideration that all revenue counts and not just player out sales.

Who is gonna be leaking it then
If the Glazers don't like you is that a positive?
Why put money into a failed league, why not buy a PL club
Sir Jim with the 'And solskjaer as won it" moment
Utd have spent enough under the Glazers to compete with anybody. We've just spent it very poorly. Regardless of ownership we need to have more successful transfers if we want to compete.
So, Sir Jim needs to get working.
Bullshit though, the UK has its own laws that can't be broken.
What happens in Qatar won't happen at United. It's a complete non-starter.
"Doesn't really mean much" isn't how I interpreted it.
The briefing from the club was a deflection - they didn't deny that they're close to exclusivity with the Qataris. That's as close to a confirmation as we'll get until the papers have been signed and it's official.
Surely that bluffer Phil Brown isn’t a trusted source. It’s like posting transfer rumours from Indy Kalia or whatever his name is
To be fair, are they not normally volunteers? My sister in law worked in Wembley during the Olympics as an unpaid volunteer.
Edit when Italian fans stormed the Euro final wasn’t the main reason for no resistance because the a security were untrained, unpaid volunteers as well? It’s why they were so easy to bribe to get past
There have been wildly conflicting reports of what the Galzers wanted. Some saying £6b and others claiming $6b.
But it looks like Qatar will end up paying a lot more than they originally planned to. They've had to up their bid 4 times.
then why bother defending it?
Volunteers would normally be locals though no?
No. He is saying the denials are for something that was never suggested.
Not really - he's not bringing in any new developments, just offering up commentary and analysis on what we already know from earlier today.
The people saying we'll be different to city or Newcastle are saying we don't need to cheat. I don't think anyone suggested that out of hundreds of millions of our fans around the world, none of them will ever say anything stupid.
But obviously you knew that
I mean that generally happens at major events like the Olympics, World Cups even Expo 2020 in Dubai recently people had the opportunity to volunteer.
A poster here mentioned ealrier that SJR's M&A team must have anticipated this scenario. If he's been planning on upping his offer he can still do it because he's stayed quiet while Jassim made 5 bids. It all boils down to who wants it more. I can't really see Qatar playing any more games with the incremental bids, so its down to whether Ratcliffe has one final play.
Explain?
But when it comes to Ratcliffe being literally the same person isn't even enough to say anything about how he'd run United.
Jassim did that with fifth bid
Yes, but they didn't just come in and offer over the asking price when they easily could have. It suggests they're at least better negotiators than woodward
As long as they’re not illegal refugees I can’t see why? Unless Delaney is saying they were forced to work against their will but I’m only reading the tweet
Sure, but it takes more into account than gross spend, and it takes even more into account than gross spend chosen from two seasons years apart chosen just to transparently trying to fudge the numbers to your advantage.
And is your mate the CFO or the cleaner? Makes a big difference to what they know.
Knowing the Glazers as we do I reckon they will prefer doing business with a Middle Eastern government for the future opportunities it might bring.
What a horrible image!
Wouldn't say it doesn't really mean much coming from a source like them
Handbags thrown in BBC's headquarters?
I know but if this gets it all over with!
They've said they are negotiating with the Glazers in the hope of entering exclusive negotiations as the preferred bidder.
Well yeah no shit, that's what both Qatar and Ineos have been doing for months.
Now they might be very close to being the preferred bidders and opening exclusive talks. But until such time nothing has wildly changed.
Sad state of affairs really. At least on here it's fairly reserved, a few posters aside but on the shit show that is twitter and Facebook there's been some genuinely awful things said against those who have suffered at the hands of Qatar by United fans. Apparently these people are equal to us all as well.
Stone is getting grilled..
The security were certainly not volunteers. I attended in Qatar and they came from the same countries as those that built the stadiums/infrastructure.
People talk a lot about "our achievements not being respected going forward" as if the last 20 years hasn't been dominated by discourse around United bribing the refs and the FA, SAF bullying and intimidating people, how much money United spend etc etc. You would think that we have been living in some kind of utopia before where United was held up like some shining light when our rivals and people adjacent to them have always found some way to drag down United's achievements.
Neither did Woodward when he was trying to buy Wan Bissaka.
He’s saying the denial that he received wasn’t denying the contents of the report.
His sources denied something that Reuters never stated
Reuters is a financial institution with a news arm
I do have hope we're going to be run to be self-sufficient. We're not Newcastle or City in the sense that we have don't to fabricate commercial deals and sponsorships in order to create an illusion of income for FFP.
