The only way any kind of action would initiate change is for fans not to attend the games at Old Trafford. An empty stadium would be captured and documented on every news channel in the world. Would be major news and would send a clear and direct message to the owners.
They won't be riots if Ole keeps defending them
Arsenal haven’t outspent us.
Yes, good post. You need to read between the lines a bit - regarding issues at the club - from what the former managers (and one former scout) hinted at after they left. But it's not rocket science. Ed's ego. Ed's cluelessness. Ed as a kind of buffer for the board, who seem remote and only vaguely interested. Ed, with his ham-fisted approach. Splurging too often wrong place, wrong time; skimping when it was time to open the purse-strings.
They will have once the Pepe deal is confirmed this week, even villa have spent more than us and its common knowledge that we are waiting on player sales to spend
Pretty much what you just said. The major difference between the Sanchez and Pogba transfers is the age variable and their asset (sell-on) value.Didn't understand you post but tried to. Please correct me if I am wrong. Are what you saying is that we took many variables like age 29, wages, length of contract, fee paid and sell on value into account and work out that Sanchez is worth an outlay of £180m and another example Pogba at 23 on a 5 yer contract which I read was initially was £280,000 which works out as roughly £70m plus £89m fee is worth £160m outlay when he has potential sell on fee as well and Sanchez has no sell on fee. How does this work out?
Please tell me the bits that I've worked out out wrong, I may have worked it all out completely wrong. From yoour post it seems that you know a lot about this. Like I said I didn't understand your post but tried my best to as I am no expert , so could you please explain?
Oh once they have finished their rumoured transfer activity they will have spent more than us.
You got it right with your last line. Skimping. These guys don't want to invest enough. We are being run as a cash cow. Milk us occasionally while feeding us scraps.
Thank you very much for explaining so clearly and thoroughly
come a couple of weeks lets see what you have to say then
Shocking. Even if players come in, it will take them time to get used to the way Ole wants to play.
Potential for actual riots around the ground by October? Check.
I really really hope so and I really hope it gets these scumbags out of the club. Every time a picture of Woodward comes up on twitter or the likes I get this uncontrollable rage come over me.
Actually, I firmly believe he is that fecking stupid.
Tbf, I also have some serious doubts on that particular subject.
Transfer business all completed before the pre-season tour? CHECK.
No he most definitely is as brainless as he is chinless.
I don't think he's stupid. I just don't think Woodward and the Glazers care about our succes unless we have someone like SAF who can be succesfull on a budget. It doesn't really seem like us the fans care either. We've become so accustomed to challenging for the top 4(which we mostly fail at). We're worse than Arsenal.
Somebody who knows the score.
True, but just as long as his usual -
It wasn't 6 months earlier, it was 6 moths later.
And they still had a much better squad. We needed continuous investment until we get where we wanted to be. Absolutely no point comparing us with a club that already owned most of the best players in the world when it comes to investment.
This is the new "Real Madrid" are a club that knows how to conduct itself and showing ambition.
Targett?Yep. United fans are generally patient, but it is pretty obvious at this point who is the root of the problem.
No denying that, I'm not the one who has used RM as a the go template its others who hate Ed and the board that cite their spending this summer as evidence of us failing but ignore the fact they've woefully under spent for a number of years.
Not really the thread for it but seriously?
Considering how many things are contingent on sales, I'm not holding my breath.
Yep. If Ole doesn't get at least two more players he'll have to work a miracle to get top four.
And if we get a run of injuries, we'll be up shit creek. We've got cover in some positions but if, say Wan Bissaka gets crocked, or Smalling or Lindelof (assuming we're not buying Maguire), who ya gonna call? Might as well be Ghostbusters.
No, that will not initiate change. Matchday revenues are a pittance compared to TV revenue. Have you seen the massive crowds in Australia, Singapore, and China? They can't get enough of the team and will continue to provide a massive user base that companies can monetize and advertise to.
I'm confident the 3 highlighted can be very good signings.

Right. Which makes our new strategy of targeting mostly PL players even more stupid.
Well he certainly has previous - the first window with Moyes, and then this time last year as well.
