@romiarkan450 4 года назад

Clubs that sell their best players all the time before they even attempt to challenge for anything strike me as having little desire to win trophies which like defeats the point of competing. These fans probably at one point wonder whether the club actually want to win or not by making the rich get even richer but I guess it's better to not financially be in the red.

@danielbowers8124 4 года назад

The problem with United is you’d have to spend billions to buy them, that’s without even investing in the club or facilities Newcastle, £400m already in the same league and arguably wouldn’t need much more investment than united in the playing squad... United would probably need to spend £300m on the squad and Newcastle wouldn’t need much more. Even investing £600m to their squad would mean you’ve spent 3 billion less than you would at United to get them at the same level on the pitch

Joe B but they also have more expenses, they’ve made a loss a few times over the last couple of years because those costs are so high. Newcastle don’t have the high costs yet but can potentially get that higher income meaning you can actually spend your money on improving the club rather than balancing the books. Mike Ashley has done a fantastic job at making sure Newcastle make money... The 3 or 4 billion it would take to buy United before spending a penny on the squad, ground ect would turn Newcastle into an absolute powerhouse. 4 billion buys you the club with United 4 billion with Newcastle, can you imagine what that would get you there?

They get fans to stay in stadiums for 3 hours+ because the longer you make fans stay in the stadium the more they will buy the $9 bottle of water or the $17 hot dog that probs cost $2 to make. Go onto the NFL Europe shop and shirts are £100! I think they went into the United purchase thinking that the 2 models between Nfl and Premier League would be fine although it has been more bumpy than that. Hopefully for United fans they'll sell the team for some liquidity during this crisis and focus on their Tampa Bay team.

@kino6395 4 года назад

As a Brit the idea of a team moving city is nigh on unthinkable, Arsenal moving out of North London, Tottenham moving out of the sewers or any of the Manchester teams moving out of Manchester. I cant understand why its so common in the US is it just more people live here so team goes here for more money? But then 3 years later after the novelty of having a team in the area wears off surely people stop watching and the funds dry up. Do teams just up and move AGAIN? How is that healthy for sport in any long term way, hell even in the short term as the stadiums are costing 100s of millions of dollars. I remember reading that Stan Kroenke after getting state funding to build a stadium on the grounds the club stayed in that city moved only a few years later saddling that city with a new empty stadium how is that even legal.

@kino6395 4 года назад

Thinking about it... if the US just added promotion and regulation each city could found there own team and fight it out in the correct way on the pitch instead of over the table. This just goes back to the US's stupid system of only 20 teams in a locked league instead of 1000s of teams in an unlocked one but with divisions like in the UK or ANY OTHER NATION. Who can blame anyone for wanting a top flight team nearby and when the only way to get one is to out bid another city for it seems to me that the system is rigged for the owners of the teams to get huge money bribes from citys.

@zattwik 4 года назад

@@kino6395 It has got more to do with franchise football. Unlike the PL clubs, clubs in the MLS are franchises which do not have a concept of either shared ownership with the fans or there's no sense of community building Stateside. European clubs have emerged from the historical developments in the local communities, industries, traders etc. US clubs have emerged from the capitalist expansion of multi-billionaires. And yes, the argument of novelty is spot on. The connection is not due to belongingness, but due to mere novelty of having a team in the area (without local players and local representation).

The Saudis almost certainly dont give a shit if they make any money from Newcastle. It's a PR / marketing exercise first and foremost. The amount of money required to buy Man Utd doesnt really make that nearly as attractive. Also worth noting Man Utd is already a worldwide brand, Newcastle isn't to nearly the same degree.

For Manchester United to be more viable as a money making club with investment potential, they need to start consistently performing plus they need to let a manager actually implement their style of play instead of just firing when the manager doesn’t perform to their standards. Look at Wolves or Sheffield United for example, they don’t have the spending power of the Top 4 but they’re still pushing for European Football (Europa League) because their management structure has been allowed to adapt the teams playing style to complement their management style and therefore get fairly consistent results.

I dont understand why they dont just create the best academy in the world?. Step 1: Glazers must be convinced to stash away 50 Million Pounds to buy youth players of other countries (Age 16-17 if you can work around the working papers issue then Age 15 as well) Step 2: Proceed to purchase the best scouts in multiple countries and start slowly buying young players out of that 50 Million pot Step 3: Have those players PLAY AT MANCHESTER UNITED on the youth team until they are age 18. THEN and only then do you loan them to a smaller English club This will ensure Manchester United can not only craft the player to their liking through the most crucial stages of development as a teenager to either eventually join the First Team or to craft them in a way that will make them the most profit (aka if you know Barcelona likes your youth player, maybe you train that player for the season prior to transferring to fit Barca’s system to ensure the transfer goes even more smoothly. If they’re old enough maybe in that case loan them to a small Spanish team before selling to Barcelona.) whichever they decide to use this method for. I feel like this is something that clubs like Ajax and Borussia Dortmund are known for but those clubs dont have anywhere near the reach or the resources of Manchester United. Plus this method wouldnt even have anything to do with the First Team budget whatsoever as this is in theory a completely separate organization with goals of their own that also happen to help the club (Think La Masia). Want to get back on top? Start building from the bottom.

@Adamhuge7 4 года назад

Mate creating the best academy isn't easy and isn't about splashing cash. The best academies in the world are ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco who don't splash cash

@muxtra3247 4 года назад

Okay, before you talk about FS of a company, you need to have sound knowledge on that. People talking here about debt of 430m which in reality is net debt. Our debt has been same since 2008 which is over half a million. Nearly all of the world economies run on debt. As long as there is a cadh flow you can always pay off debt. Despite our on pitch struggles, our FS are always strong managing record revenues & profits last financial year. My only opposition is that success in the commercial front is not translated in the football side bcoz of our hierarchy.

@abdirazaqhussein3262 4 года назад

Buy Newcastle and turn them into Ajax/Dortmund sensible spending and aim to attract the best young talent globally. United offered big contracts to keep up with PSG and city and ended up with overpaid mid table average players. You need the right coaches, manager, sporting director and scouts. I think LVG is the right guy, really good coach and if he is backed with money and given time to develop kids, you will see attractive football and none of the pressure to win the league in 3 years, you couldn't do it with team like NU but give him 3-5 years and he will lay great foundation for the future.

Unpopular opinion: Manchester United is a listed company and is valued at USD 2.7 billion today (when the markets are so down).. Now full ownership usually comes with a 25% premium, so USD 4bn is a fair price demand from Glazers. You can spend a lot and may buy players, but from where will fans come. Look at City, winning/challenging top 2 for the last 10 years, still the stadium is empty. MU deserves a premium, because you start with a huge fan base and it's easy to get players, than to get to say Newcastle United..

@Banzybanz 4 года назад

Manchester United is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which means anyone who wants to buy it can freely do so. The problem is that you can only buy Class A shares which have low voting rights, so even if someone bought every single Man Utd share they'd only have 3% of the voting rights, which means you have no control over the club. The Glazers family meanwhile owns all the Class B shares, which together has 97% of the voting rights which means complete control over the club.

@franciscosebastianfloresze3781 4 года назад

One of the things that makes me happy about Argentina's football it's the fact that a club being buy by a private investor it's illegal and the club owners are their supporters who vote who is going to be the chairman. Of course there are investors or bussinesmen who take over and try to aproach the club as a bussines enterprise, like Macri in Boca, TInelli in San Lorenzo or the sad case of my club Talleres with Fassi one of the owners of the Pachuca Group trying to use the club as a part of their multinational franchise...but we can still vote to sack him out haha! Hope it still this way forever.

@franciscosebastianfloresze3781 4 года назад

In fact, Newell's Old Boys, one of the giants of Rosario has a great story of their supporters sacking Eduardo Lopez a chairman who was in charge since 1994 to 2008 who abort elections and use the ultras in a mafia way to stay in power that long and put the club in an economic and structural crisis. I remember Marcelo Bielsa, Gerardo Martino, Heinze among others supporting the fight of the supporters to bring back democratic elections in the club, it was quite emotional.

That's very true, but the problem is Ed has completely rebuffed the idea of hiring a Football Director and continues to have the final say. Woodward is not a football guy and never will be, so unless he understands this and appoints a guy who takes decision from footballing perspective, United are not likely to challenge for the title anytime soon

I miss the days when it wasn't about the money. You would see players earn their stripes before being called good. Nowadays a kid dribbles the ball and shows potential and instantly is worth 10 mil. Money kinda ruined football for me other thing is that the game hasn't been updated (time wasting especially is boring for me - that's why i prefer basketball nowadays). Also half of these clubs have more international players then domestic which again kinda ruined international football.. This is my opinion though. so :P

@corpse6193 4 года назад

The fact that you've only seen that certain kid dribble the ball doesn't mean that the others, more proficient and detail focused talent evaluators (like, for example, Alex Stewart), haven't seen a lot more and haven't looked at data to better inform their opinion
