Why do you think they’ve got so much money!?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

While you are correct about our owners, I'm not sure you are correct about Roman Abramovich. Since his Visa was revoked and he was forced to take Israeli citizenship to access the UK, he's been (I hear) less present at Stamford Bridge and less willing to sink money into Chelsea as a vanity project. As a Putin boy, he has bigger fish to try.
Also he probably got a bit bored after winning Champions' League.
It seems like the Germans are the only ones who know how to run a football league without miring it in corruption and dodgy foreign ownership.
Great post. It’s baffling how some fans just don’t get it. It’s not a regular window. Our future revenues are uncertain. How can you even commit to pay 120m over the next 5 years if you don’t know when exactly fans will be back in stadiums?
Man Utd don’t exist in a bubble.
The same way Chelsea are.
Clearly... when Dortmund were almost bankrupt, Leipzig had a big inquest about their ownership as well.
Just because it all looks good now does not mean they don't have issues either. Wolfsburg have had issues with VW as well.
I hope they were looking at other options from about 5 months ago!
Ed is aiming to 7. of october.Maybe we plan to sign him on 7 September?
Manchester United are riddled with debt, probably more so than any other club in World football. Glazers are paupers compared to owners of Chelsea, City and other owners.
But I WANT WANT WANT so ‘juSt gEt iT dOne’ or else I’ll scream that ‘eD IS CLUelESs’ to make myself feel better.
Turn off the lights and lock the doors on your way out son.
Some of that is tied up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers surely?
They are currently around the 8th richest PL club owners. Wolves and Leicester owners are richer and City's are out of the stratosphere by comparison.
We are easily the most marketable of those clubs though including Chelsea and City. The operating income of the Bucs in 2018 was around 65million while the revenue was around the 400m mark
This. If you look at Liverpool their options on the bench are nothing to write home about. Get a very strong 11 and the rest will come later.
Yet we are offering a goalkeeper who has never played for us £100k a week
We will be offering Pogba more money in wages..
We have saved money on Sanchez wages.
Chelsea and City are fine because they have built up money? They spent £90m last summer. They are going to spend £200m this summer.
So what Russian business are not affected?
Middle east countries are not affected?
Other clubs are affecting but luckily they planned well over the years and have a decent squad unlike United who cannot plan anything.
History has shown us that even if you have the best side, by not rebuilding astutely,even a couple of players, that success won't be built upon
And if we can't afford Sancho's price anyway because we're so poor and full of debit, why don't we simply move on, cancel the deal and go sign some other players ? Is Sancho the only player in the market or something ?
Agree that we should lock this thread and keep it close until we sign Florian Thauvin instead
Okay, here’s David Conn saying interest payments and refinancing costs are over £1bn.

I’m off by 400m or so. It’s just the £1bn we’ve pissed away for the privilege of their ownership.
They’re asset rich aren’t they? 3 billion of that net worth is probably owning us which they got the club to pay for. Their actual worth is irrelevant though as the club is self sufficient enough to compete without needing outside investment.
You go from getting bantered by rival fans for expecting better as the 3rd richest club in the world to getting bantered by fellow fans for expecting better as the 3rd richest club, the life of a United fan 
Why is this thread about Sancho turning into a Chelsea wankfest thread? Some of you lot need to really get a grip
This reminds me really of Moyes summer when we kept chasing Fabregas even though it was clear it wasn't happening that we ended up having to overpay for Fellaini on last day to save the market.
It seems like we're going in this market too with the approach "Sancho or nothing".

There was a report today in Italy that said Pogba to Juve was on the cards this summer but Covid has prevented it from happening. Could be one possible theory as to why we were seemingly confident of getting Sancho and are now renegotiating the fee. Pogba money may have been earmarked for Sancho.
I still think we’ll get him but as time goes on, I’m becoming Increasingly concerned it’s going to be like that Mourinho window.
So according to your statement klopp at Liverpool wasn't backed because of their low net spend?
At least they were home grown crooks. One looks back fondly on the innocent days of Cloughie, Telboy, Georgie and their bungs.
Maybe Glazers don't like high placed finishes
This whole thread is people venting because we haven't got a Shiney new toy yet, but... but so and so has signed 123 why can't we?
Another one gone. RIP
Fourth is the sweet spot for them. Winning the PL is a waste of money.
Alot of people are here commenting on our finances either way.
We know the price, we know our finances, if we cannot afford him we need to make a statement pulling out the deal.
Instead we are doing nothing.. waiting for something to happen?
Take some time off. Some of the most vocal posters clearly don't get any enjoyment from this club. Recharge off season and come back to moan once the season starts.
Are you kidding? This is peak season for them, the time of the year when they can moan the most!
It's time to stop lusting after Jadon Sancho.
He isn't coming.
He isn't coming.
If this falls through and you still need a right winger then just try the Cops in America thread, you'll find one.
Fabregas was at his boyhood team, that he'd had to battle to get to. They were a better team, and we just had Moyes take over.
We could easily have afforded the fee.
This one is us trying to get a Dortmund player - which is never anything but a step up for that player - and it's covid times, so not unreasonably breaking our transfer record is a huge deal.
Totally different scenarios.
Hahaha
We could have similar outcomes at the end of the day, to be fair. If we are still in for him, it's because we'd be confident that we'd get him at the end of the day. However, I'd still like the club to keep tabs on and potentially pursue other targets in case Sancho doesn't come through at the end of the day. The overall lack of United-related transfer news may mean that the club wants journalists to remain quiet whilst they conduct their business. Never before have I seen so little United-related news from more reliable sources.
BVB aren't going to lower their 120m price. If we can't afford it then continuing to chase is a waste of everyone time. Simply as that. Instead of chasing a target you can't afford or so obvious that he won't come, move on and sign other players. The way this market has been going is ridiculous. We're not linked to anyone in any other position bar Sancho.
