losing £300 m over three years and their cost cutting justifying seat price rises..... here's an idea...
(Also applies to all other Premier League clubs!)
Stop paying players ridiculous sums of unspendable wages
It ridiculously simple isn't it!

Man Utd are probably the poster boys for how not to run a football club in the past decade. Over spending fees, over spending wages, businessmen in football men roles, stadium rusting, lack of trophies, horrendous league form, no identity, no vision.
The list goes on but it does, as with every club, circle back round to your recruitment, and Man Utd are huge over payers in the market, and predominately on poor incomings. |  | | |

Yeah. Spending £80 million on the likes of Anthony probably doesn't help either. |  | | |

Antony, Sancho, Maguire, V.D.Beek, Mount, Onana, Casemiro, Martinez.
Hundreds and hundreds of millions, and hindsight is wonderful, but some staggering transfer fees involved.
I don't know who heads up recruitment there, but they have surely got to restructure that area.
They had Ragnick in the door (fantastic transfer operator), Luis Campos is out there who is an absolute king of capital gains in the transfer market. [Post edited 23 Jan 15:30]

True on hindsight but the mad thing here is i'm sure 99% of fans would have baulked at the time at most of those signings and the associated costs. |  | | |

I find it amazing they bought Casemiro who is the wrong side of 30 for £70 million and and then let a good homegrown prospect like Mctominay go for £25 million.
I just don't understand it. |  | | |

I thought PSR rules only allow clubs to lose £105 million over three years, how can they lose £300 million and not be charged by the PL? |  | | |
| Do we know how much the Glazers took out of Man U during that time? on 15:54 - Jan 23 with 2309 views | unstableblue |
I imagine its a combination of wages and transfer fees
Its certainly not Capital Projects on Old Trafford
I'd read they'd taken $573m in dividends during their tenure |  |

I’m not defending ManU here - their finances are terrible, but …
This is an old story from Sept 2024, and doesn’t take into account the normal allowable deductions ie the losses that don’t count towards PSR |  | | |

Certainly should be under scrutiny. The Anthony transfer is up there as one of the worst in Premier League history alongside Van Wolfspen1s for 12 million! | | | |

That’s why FFP or whatever it is being introduced. Unfortunately many PL clubs cannot be trusted to keep within its spirit and take advantage of loopholes or grey areas. |  | | |

That's on certain categories of expenditure (transfer fees, wages, etc.) but not stuff like ground maintenance/upgrades, debt interest/repayments, academy and some other things. |  |

Take your original post an tweak it the tiniest amount..
"how not to run a football club in the past decade. .... businessmen in football men roles, stadium rusting, lack of trophies, horrendous league form, no identity, no vision."
And you've got us under Evans. I was tempted to mention the cash spunked on Martin too. |  |

Your first paragraph could just as easily apply to ITFC under Marcus Evans' ownership! | | | |

Antony certainly, especially given just how much he cost. Ouch.
But Van Wolfswinkel was an odd case. He's got a decent scoring record over the last 8 years ago, including Champions League experience. A couple of points strike me: (a) maybe it was just N*rwich that were unable to get anything out of him, and (b) how many of our £12m+ signings from this year are ultimately going to end up playing in the Champions League?! |  | | |

i read an article about the players Ten Hag signed and the list was just terrible add to that the wages of such failures as Casimiro who is reputed to be on£350k a week, then you can see why the stewards losing their bonuses, staff cuts and reducing the salaries of Bryan Robson and the like seem unfair
The club is a complete and total mess |  |

I thought Everton were deducted points even through the PL concluded that such spending was on infrastructure and not on players? | | | |

The 10 players they are hoping to offload, earn just over £82M a year between them. Crazy. |  |

Completely agree with the above RE wages. If FFP only revolved around wages, the game would right itself very quickly. Spend what you like on players - but you can't pay all of them £300k a week. |  | | |

I've always said if any industry should be able to fully support it's own infrastructure and still pay its employees well then football is that example!... instead all the revenue streams seem to be concentrated on a few businesses and a handful( comparatively) of the total workforce. It really is quite disgusting how much the top earners hoover up when so much of the game and indeed world in general is struggling to survive. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so addicted to watching this game. [Post edited 23 Jan 19:12]
