So, cutting through it all, ME is not going to make more money available 19:34 - Apr 25 with 1140 viewsOxford_Blue

At around 14 mins he admits it.

The rest of the interview was really just heavily orchestrated puff and a PR exercise.

So, at least we know - we will keep on selling our best players, and the new manager will not have the budget available to compete with the top clubs in the division.

If someone came forward and offered ME £20m+ he’d sell up without a moment’s hesitation.

Why is that a bad thing? He openly admitted he would sell if it was in the interests of the club, that's positive. I would rather he was honest than bullsh!tted around the issue and hinted he would be putting big money in this summer.

It is a bad thing because someone worth over £750m who could afford to make serious money available is not going to do so and without it we will carry on selling our best players and won’t replace them. That’s why.

I never said he wasn’t being honest.

I’m struggling to see your point.

"Worth £750m" leads to a lot of loose thinking. It's well worth reading Philip Beresford's introduction to the Sunday Times Rich Lists, showing how he arrives at those numbers.

Well over 90% of that figure will be tied up in a valuation of his company. Then there'll be property and other assets. Very little of it is cash, available to pour into a football club.

It's like saying you're worth a quarter of a million because you own your house. You can't access that kind of money and are not going to sell your home to fund a hobby. Then along comes someone insisting you have to more than double the mortgage payments on repairs and improvements, every year. Pretty soon it'll be unaffordable (or at least you'd have to sacrifice all other activities to continue).

Good Lord! Whatever is it?
