We genuinely need to sell £100m of players just to make up for the loss of revenue.
This is more a cash situation than a PSR one, Ratcliffe won’t be putting any more money into the club unless he receives more share allocation of the club, it’s the ultimate Mexican stand off.
Sir Jim is trying to sell Nice which is worth £200m, he may invest that into United or try and get Qatari to help with Finances for club and stadium.
The harsh reality is whether we back Ruben or bring in a new manager, there are so many things wrong with the playing and football staff at the club.
The club needs a huge cultural reset and I believe that this is the only thing that INEOS do get in terms of their objectives. Before we look at the players that Unconditionally MUST leave this Summer we need to look at all of the recent recruits from other leagues?
The first Question should be, why do you want to join Man United?
The second one should be if the club offered £20,000 per week less in basic salary than an other competing club but potentially rewarded you £40,000 for helping the team win and your contribution towards that objective would you select our club or the other club offering you £20,000 per week more regardless of the result?
The third question, name two of the most significant events in the clubs history from the last 75 years that made Man United one of the biggest sporting clubs across the globe?
If we don’t receive the right answers on those 3 questions we should tell the player and Agent very politely that Man United is Not for you!
The List that Must Go and why?
A Onana has been one of the worst Goal keepers we’ve seen since Taribi and the fact his agent tried to meet the club earlier this year to ask for a pay rise is beyond comprehension!
A Bayinder if he was a half competent Gosl keeper, he would have become the number one this season very easily
V Lindelof The fact that he’s still at the club collecting £6-7m per year is absolute Madness, he’s leaving in the summer and that’s 3 years too late!
Tyrel Malacia was never good enough we’ll be lucky to get £5m
Luke Shaw His body has let him done for the last two seasons, we should loan him out or let him go on a free as the wages he’s on are no longer justified
MDL Confrontational but he could still probably command £30m transfer fee, lacks elite pace, injury prone and we need a more athletic physical CB
Bruno I would like him to stay, generally he’s been an excellent signing for the club however if their is truth the offer from Saudi is £80-100m you have to take that and rebuild club, he’s 31 soon to be 32.
C Eriksen Been a decent signing but the EPL pace and physicality is now beyond him frees up £175k per week
Casemiro The club needs pace, mobility in its midfield all things that Casemiro lacks we must sell him even if £10m just to get his wages off the clubs accounts.
Antony He’s doing great in Spain, let’s get £25m for one of the worst signings in our history gets his £200k wages off the books too
Jadon Sancho Words don’t describe how much United fans can’t stand this young man, he’s leaving would have failed everyone of three question criteria sell for £20m and get his £250k wages off the book
Marcus Rashford Although I feel Marcus has been completely disrespected by Ruben Amorim, he doesn’t help himself so for these for all concerned he needs to leave for maybe £30m and lose his huge £350k per week
Rasmus Hojlund Simply not the required standard for the EPL we probably can’t sell him so he’ll be loaned up to get his value up and his wages are low so an Italian team will pay a loan fee and wages.
This would mean that 13 players plus Johnny Evan’s would leave the club and I would keep Tom Heaton as third GK option.
We would need to go and get 7/8 players in
With 5 Main signings to start and 2/3 squad options!
These are my humble suggestions to make a significant upgrade and improvement on player ability, physicality attacking ability.
Goalkeepers - E Martinez(30m), R Videk,
T Heaton (3)
Defenders - D Dalot, N Mazraoui, H Maguire, L Yoro, A Heaven, L Martinez, P Dorgu, H Amass, B Mantato, O Diomende (50m) (10)
Midfielder- T Collyer, K Mainoo,,
M Ugarte, A Gomes(Free), S Kone
Jobe Bellingham(25m) (6)
Attackers - J Zirkzee, A Dialo, M Mount(Just)
M Cunha(63m), L Delap(30m), B Mbeumo (55m) (7) A Garnaucho
Total Cost would be £253-255m in
Total players sold would be £230m
Net Spend would be less than £50m
We might need to pick up another experienced CM as well if Kobe is not ready.
Squad of 25/26 would allow a new coach to come in and play 433/4231 or Amorim to stay and play a 3421 system. the main advantage of this huge overhaul would be the player wage line significant reduced with the club saving a combined weekly amount of approximately £2.3m per week or £120m per year.
Assuming we agree pay of ; Martinez/£200k, Diomende/£120k, Gomes/120k,
J Bellingham /£80k, K Mainoo New contracts / £120k, Garnaucho +£70k ,
M Cunha/ £200k, L Delap /120k, B Mbeumo /180k
Total £1.1m or £58m per year
The club could then concentrate on a young dynamic physical high energy team with a genuine goal threat.
