Hey Ed02,
Is today's news about us and psg in talks about the Fee for sancho true or is it just lazy journalism.
Thanks in advance.
{Ed002's Note - it is true they are open to taking him but they have the same position as Dortmund over the fee.}
1.) 10 Aug 2024 08:58:57
The rumours are that United will only accept a fee over 35-40m otherwise they'll keep him. The view is that it's not worth taking a financial loss on him to simply move him on.
Personally I'd rather get him out the door, even at a small loss. But then I don't know the state of the books and the financial impacts of that. Also the club are trying to set a new tone and change our reputation as a club that pays over the odds for players and sells them on the cheap. Maybe keeping him for another year is short term pain for long term gain.
2.) 10 Aug 2024 12:47:22
But Shappy, do what with him for another year? He's pants.
23 May 2024 21:06:12
I was told last year that Bruno was considering his future and was asked to give one more year.
Forgot who it was but someone on here shot me down for it.
It was true, the only difference being now that there is new people in place that are trying to persuade him to stay.
I've been told this year he has told the club if a reasonable offer comes in from a preferred destination, he would like to move on.
But money does talk so maybe they can persuade him to stay.
1.) 23 May 2024 22:23:49
Anyone that ain’t commited regardless who they are get rid
Need people to want to be here and play.
2.) 23 May 2024 23:12:52
He will still be here for a couple of years yet. He loves the club.
3.) 24 May 2024 07:19:32
Get rid. Overrated and not an elite player. Stands out in United because many other players are so poor. Would Guardiola play him? Not a chance. Simply not good enough. Poor passer and flaky.
4.) 24 May 2024 08:30:26
I dunno Jodler, could easily see him in the Bernado Silva role at City.
Not sure he’s captain material but the best we have avail and our most creative player. Until Florian Wirtz is available I say we stick!
5.) 24 May 2024 09:33:56
Careful what you wish for. Remove Bruno and you take away 90% of this teams creativity.
6.) 24 May 2024 09:33:57
Depends on how the new regime intend to play and where he fits in that vision. Also he is approaching 30 and would his wages be better spent on a younger player who is going to be part of a team challenging for titles in 3 to 5 years time. From a practical point of view getting his wages and a fee might make more sense than keeping him. I really like him as a player but if him leaving is part of a plan to move us forward I would accept it is best for the club.
7.) 24 May 2024 10:40:27
Bruno is top class. A shame to get rid of someone with so much quality and who has dug us out time and time again.
8.) 24 May 2024 11:06:16
Caolan I remember the Liverpool fans saying the same re couthino.
From a business perspective I can see the merits in cashing in now.
I agree with oakbark it very much depends on what the vision is and who is implementing it from a head coach perspective.
It will be a strategic decision not one based on emotion or sentiment.
There are strong arguments for keeping him but also for selling him imo. One of the more difficult conundrums as there are compelling reasons for both sides of the coin.
9.) 24 May 2024 12:03:29
He has been our best player for a while now and as angelred said has dug us out time and time again but he is also our biggest asset and if we can get a huge fee for him then it has to be considered, his last interview he said if the club wants me I will be here, think a big changing of the guard is going to happen and would hate to see him run his contract down and go for free.
10.) 24 May 2024 12:25:21
The deciding factor on whether Bruno stays or goes will be the amount of money on offer.
The guy is 29 and if the Saudi's were to offer £50-60 million plus for him, I'd imagine it would be very difficult to turn the money down.
The club need to sell players to raise funds, sometimes you struggle to get rid of those players. Along comes a good offer for a player you would be inclined to keep, but desperately need the funds to buy others.
11.) 24 May 2024 14:26:35
I'd suggest people read the interview he has just done . We don't deserve bruno .
12.) 24 May 2024 15:02:40
Deano like the majority of our fan base mate we seem to want to ridicule rather than support
Bruno is our best player and has been since he joined the club
How about the players that are always unavailable get the stick.
13.) 24 May 2024 15:33:23
Bolger I'm not seeing get lots of stick.
If a good offer came in it would be considered i'm sure.
Lots of reasons to keep him lots of valid reasons as to why offers would be considered.
14.) 24 May 2024 16:25:30
Agreed bolger ?.
15.) 24 May 2024 16:47:39
I for one would be delighted if Bruno stayed, I don't want him to go anywhere but if the club get a big offer for him they may accept.
16.) 24 May 2024 16:57:36
Jodler, I think you are overrated and not an elite fan. :P.
17.) 24 May 2024 17:56:56
Not sure why nowadays when you’re not a fan of a player and voice it, you are ridiculing.
Are people not allowed to say they don’t fancy him as a player? Do we have to blindly support now unless its certain players we’re all allowed to ridicule together?
Who decides who we’re allowed to “ridicule”?
18.) 24 May 2024 20:15:42
Agreed Bolger.
I think Bruno is our only world class player and has been since he joined. He’d slot perfectly in to a Pep team and would have no problem being asked to take care of the ball better.
I don’t agree with the petulant side of his game, and he isn’t captain material, but there were no alternatives at the time so I understand it. He’s worked very hard to carry out the role and his work ethic cannot be questioned. Nor can the numbers he’s posted for us.
Despite how much I rate him, I can see the argument for him leaving if a Saudi level bid came in for him. It seems we could do with the money. But on the other hand you remove by far our most creative asset, in fact the most creative player in the Premier League based on chances created, and where do we go from there?
19.) 25 May 2024 12:06:25
Players like Bruno, Shaw, Rashford etc should all be allowed to leave if significant offers come in for them. Ultimately I doubt any of them are going to be key players in our next title winning team. However, I wouldn't be actively looking to sell them this summer. There are far more players who need to leave first. Players not capable of playing at the level we need, or in the style bwe want to see.
You don't improve a squad by replacing your best/ better players, you do so by replacing your worst players. The aim should be that by the time we replace the like the likes of Bruno and Rashford they would be the amoungst the worst players in the squad.
However, if significant offers come in this summer then the club should accept them for all players bar Mainoo, Garnacho and Højlund. Who are the only three I see as being able to be key players in our next title winning squad. Everyone has a price and if matched shake their hand and wish them well with the rest of their career.
20.) 26 May 2024 08:20:21
Not even sure how this is a debate. He’s consistently been our best player since he signed.
21.) 26 May 2024 08:22:33
I think you have to add Dalot and Martinez to that list Shappy. We are a totally different side when Licha plays.
13 Jul 2023 10:46:04
Sorry if you already covered it Ed02 but I cannot find it.
Is there genuine interest in Fred or is it just paper talk?
{Ed002's Note - Fred (CM) Will be available. Interest from Fulham but Roma interest gone. Agent trying to get interest from the Middle East.
18 Jun 2023 12:15:24
Axel Disasi's agents have apparently been talking to John Murtogh.
According for Fabrizio.
Anyone know much about him?
{Ed002's Note - Axel Disasi (CB) West Ham and Spurs had a declared interest but after adding Aguerd in the summer would have ended that and Spurs took Lenglet on loan. Southamption interest will have gone. After the sale of BB Monaco will probably not be open to a sale, even though they have an obligation to buy another CB. Wildcards will be Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City but none have declared an interest at this time.}
1.) 18 Jun 2023 19:47:24
Todibo would be a far better option.
Disasi has a similar turning circle to Maguire.
Todibo (the rumoured alternative) is very similar to, and cheaper than, Timber.
17 May 2023 14:08:59
My friends in America seem to think the clubs situation will become clearer at the end of the season.
They say any news before that is premature regardless of what is said.
Also say that Bruno fernandes is considering his future with the club, The club has asked him to give one more year after this season.
As always how true and reliable thus is i cannot say, but they are never to far off.
1.) 17 May 2023 14:14:48
While Bruno is our best player, and we are poorer without him, if he wants to move then we shouldn't stand in his way.
2.) 17 May 2023 14:41:23
Never heard any club being linked with Bruno.
{Ed077's Note - maybe he's not good enough ;-P}
3.) 17 May 2023 14:57:21
Haha Ed, he is pretty good though.
4.) 17 May 2023 18:05:40
There has been rumours over the last 6 months of Bruno moving on as Ten Hags preferred formation is a 433 which Bruno doesn't ideally suit.
5.) 17 May 2023 20:58:10
Bruno is our most influential player by a country mile and good enough to play for any of the top top teams. If he decided to move there will be a ton of suitors.
6.) 17 May 2023 21:57:35
We can't lose bruno, he's our best player by a mile and has to be captain next season. i'm sure we would want big money which nobody will want to pay anyway, and he has 3 years on his contract so we're in a good position.
7.) 17 May 2023 23:14:47
Playing a but of devils advocate here.
I don't doubt he is the best player but does he suit what the manager is trying to achieve, for that matter does Rashford?
Liverpool fams were similarly unhappy with losinf Courtinho, but does Bruno really suit Tem Hags endgame? I strongly suspect that he does not and neither dies Rashy.
8.) 18 May 2023 08:03:06
I said before the season started that I wondered whether Bruno would be part of EtH's long term plans. As a player who will always try and force the more creative (and riskier) pass which often leads to a loss of possession, I wondered how that would fit into EtH's more controlled, possession based style of play.
I felt that to get the best out of Bruno you needed to play him as a No.10 or even second striker, giving him freedom to wander and find the space. Which goes against the more team oriented approach from EtH.
For those reasons I said 7 months ago that ultimately Bruno could be sacrificed in a similar way to Coutinho at Liverpool. Selling the team's best (most individualistic) player for the long term benefit of the team.
Maybe that will still happen, yet from what I have seen this season EtH seems very happy with Bruno, played him more than any other outfield player, made him captain, always speaks glowingly about him.
He has also on a few occasions played Bruno much deeper and has even managed to get man of the match performances out of Bruno when playing deeper in midfield.
I think Bruno could be very well suited to playing the No.8 role that EtH tends to use in his team's. He's very good at progressing the ball quickly, is a tenacious and willing presser out of possession, and has excellent shooting ability to be that late arriving midfielder into the box.
9.) 18 May 2023 09:39:41
Big V, just for fun, I looked up your previos posts. Not sure your track record is as strong as you think it is mate.
10.) 18 May 2023 10:00:35
Shappy
Watch the ajax games when ETH was there and they were very brave with trying passes and gave the ball away frequently but their counter press won it back quite quickly. Eth is very different with Van Gaal style of possession.
Bruno influences games more than Rashford if you look at his contribution in terms of assists and goals and just what he does and unlocks things. He is a workhorse and doubt anyone comes even close to him in world football in terms of his minutes and role he is being asked to play.
Before people bring up Rashfords goals, he is suppose to score given where he is playing. Hard to score 15 goals playing a 6 or an 8.
If he actually wanted to go, Psg, Real, Bayern and top tier pl teams will line up for someone like him. Given what players are going for he 100 mill plus player imo.
Watched real vs city last night and valverde, kroos and modric were shocking and that city midfield owned them and someone like bruno would do wonders for them.
11.) 18 May 2023 10:41:03
I can't see any shock Utd transfers, which let's face it this would be. We've got so many out of contract players and ones who clearly don't fit in who'll be leaving this summer I'd be stunned if one of the few who do actually make an impact go anywhere, much less our acting captain.
Saying that - I'm highly hopeful that our actual club captain will be off in a month or two! Wonder if Fernades will be named actual captain next season, or someone else like Martinez or Casemiro?
12.) 18 May 2023 11:18:50
Whadda ya mean AJH? He heard it from his American friends, kapish?
13.) 18 May 2023 13:14:06
AJH where did I say my track record is strong?
I just pass information on I get told time to time?
I have no problems telling you it's not my information so I would never say it is or swear by it?
14.) 18 May 2023 16:30:43
As always how true and reliable thus is i cannot say, but they are never to far off.
I struggled to find anything that wasn't far off. ?♂️.
15.) 18 May 2023 17:21:57
Sure you have better things to do then pick on My opinion? I think they are never far off in regards to when they said glazers preferring investment and when pogba was taking the club for a ride.
Just because things don't materialise does not mean it's a false rumour or information?
I won't post anything they say again.
16.) 18 May 2023 18:26:39
How will we cope?

There is definitely something going on in the background in regards to the stadium and ownership/investment etc.
I expect it all to hit the media eventually, no doubt around Christmas time.
1.) 29 Oct 2026 13:15:34
Fascinating comments on Eddie Howe on the Everton page which didn't paint him in a particularly strong light.
I sadly think the delay is simply down to lack of alignment and agreement internally as nobody really knows what they're doing and who is actually in charge??
2.) 29 Oct 2026 14:26:42
It's about people scrambling to save their own jobs. Wilcox is terrified that he'll be held to account. Berrada brought Wilcox in. Vivell probably doesn't understand why he's even at the club given he's being overruled on transfers. All Ratcliffe cares about is getting the new stadium built so he can milk it for event money. And the Glazers just want something to push the value of the club high enough so they can walk away with as much money as possible when they sell. It's all short term individual goals with no clear plan for making things work on the pitch.
Carrick is on a hiding to nothing with a squad that doesn't respect him. Sesko is out until the new year, so any manager coming in will have to do without a single striker in the squad. And the debt interest repayments will make bringing in quality players difficult next summer, let alone in January.
Rather than fix anything, all INEOS have done is added more problems to the mess. A club driven by conflicting personal interests, and no clue on how to build a competitive footballing team.
3.) 29 Oct 2026 16:56:07
Hit nail on head there Danny.
4.) 29 Oct 2026 17:39:52
Danny, so you think all Ratcliffe cares about is to build the stadium so he can milk it when he is 80 years old?
I don't believe he wants to put his own money, then i don't think he is here to start milking us from 80 years old to whatever age he lives.
I just think he made some mistakes and trusted the wrong people. I think we must start to think the owner as enemies, they want the same as us. We want success and they want success for their reasons.
{Ed025's Note - not for me Heaven, SJR wants money because money is power, he is an egomaniac mate and people like him never have enough..
5.) 29 Oct 2026 18:14:46
Ed025, I don't disagree that generally he wants money and i think he earned a lot in his life. What he really wants, now, i think, is to build a new stadium and bring us glory.
My opinion is that he wants to be the man who lead us to success and be a hero.
I don't think he wants to build a stadium to bear fruits in ten years and milk the club.
{Ed025's Note - i will tell you what he really wants Heaven and why he wanted to invest in United mate, he has bought all the land around the proposed new site for the stadium which when built (by the way he wants the Government to pay for it) will be worth many times more than he actually paid for it, he has no interest in Manchester United im afraid..its all about the money my friend..
6.) 29 Oct 2026 19:01:26
Ratcliffe wants to add a highly lucrative new asset to the business he owns a minority stake in. Billionaire should be viewed as a pathological condition. Like ed025 says, despite it being impossible to spend the wealth they've already amassed, they simply cannot stop themselves looking for more. I would also add that there's the further egotistical drive to build a new stadium to stand as his legacy. But I can guarantee that he won't cover the costs of any new stadium.
Ratcliffe, like the Glazers before him, don't want the same things as supporters.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely spot on Danny..
7.) 29 Oct 2026 19:31:39
Money is not power.
An entreprenour will always care about making money.
Asking them to not care about business and profit and making money is like asking haaland to stop scoring goals.
Was messi an egomainiac for wanting more titles more goals more awards? No because its his career and passion. Or an actor still taking roles when he has already won oscars?
People who have lots of success at whatever they exel in often hunt more regardless of what they have. Its no different for a money maker than it is for a golfer footballer or aging tennis players like djokovic or the Williams sisters. All chasing the thing that often drives their own self worth and happiness success.
I don't know sjr nor do i have a strong opinion of him as a person. I don't subscribe to some of his political views but I've huge admiration for the businesses he built and fortune his accumalted.
Ed002 told us he was an 'exceptionaly nice guy'
He comes across as very intelligent to me he has a lot of headwinds in some of his businesses at the moment and I'm sure he is fuming at the current set of events at united.
Key men in key roles are not performing wilcox berada and carrick. None of the people who report into Carrick are performing well in their roles. Ie coaches and players.
Sjr needs to protect his investment he didn't get where he is today without being a strategic
Thinker.
Not 1 key decision maker on the football side of the business has his full confidence at the moment. Therefore you can't let them make another bad choice, so that's a tough place to start from.
You may well see carrick being the last man standing of the 3 them and get replaced by the new exec team when in place.
Going to be an interesting few months.
8.) 29 Oct 2026 20:40:54
Nice guy. Fires ordinary workers to cut costs, but is happy to pay millions to cover the mistakes made by the best in class executives he hired. Blames immigrants for destroying the country he doesn't even life in. Tax exile that goes looking for government handouts to build his Wembley of the north.
9.) 29 Oct 2026 23:24:32
Facts Danny.
10.) 30 Oct 2026 06:39:50
Nice guy is exactly NOT what he is, he cares as much about United as he does Chelsea both in his world = money no more no less, no matter what age he loves the power.
He not falling anybody with stupid best in class crap even a fool could see no of our hierarchy are anywhere near best in class, he done same in car industry was going to be the best and have best in class how's that going yep struggling to stay afloat
Nice is Same
He had his time he works like many on here lives in yesteryear, made billions right time right place in petro/Chem inc
He is petty and everything he does is on the cheap, he should have double what he got really but made huge mistakes along the way that's cost him billions and at 80 still making them now.
Got audacity to want to make more out of the ground and surrounding area and wants the government to assist him in paying to make more money, that's not nice or great guy by any means . I would say worse then the city guys least they use there own money.
11.) 30 Oct 2026 09:24:55
His interview has nothing to do, i disagree with what he said but that's a different matter. Ken said it better than me because of my limited English. You are questioning his intentions, i don't.
I think Radcliffe achieved a lot and now he only wants to become immortal, to be a hero. And the only way to do so is to lead our club back to glory. I just think he has no idea about running a football club and being convinced by Wilcox, etc. that there is a quick fix. Then, his involvement (as per reports) make things worse as he has no idea about football.
I remember the great Ed002 saying good things about him, he, as Ken said, described him as a nice person.
And if i remember correctly the great man met him one or two times. I guess at Chelsea in which he was a season ticket holder.
Sir Jimmy is not my favourite person but i want to be fair. 10 years of overspending and billions of debt blocking him for spending more money in transfer market.
We are a club in debt, with losses every year until last and very limited funds compared to our needs. That, I think, would be the case with every owner, or with most owners. We must see in the mirror and accept the situation.
12.) 30 Oct 2026 13:10:54
I think its a bit of both heaven.
Does he want the club to be successful. Yes i think he does.
Does he have the resources to throw money at it i don't think so at the moment.
Is there a lot of legacy issues around finance to sort out? Yes there are?
Should we be borrowing more to get out of current prediciment? i don't think we should.
Has he made mistakes. Yes plenty.
Has his staff under performed? Yes massively.
Should he trust current incumbants to pick new manager? I don't believe so.
Even if he could can he invest 100m of own money to buy players? I don't think he can or should.
Should the owners be doing better? i think they should but they won't be putting their own money in nor should they imo.
No or very very very few but their own money into a business of this scale.
Very few billionaires can put their hands on 50m cash or often even 5 m.
No self respecting multi mohair millionaire hss that sort of cash lying around idle.
Very few business owners give largr personal cash injections to a business if this scale. You don't become rich by spending your own money more often than not.
17 Jul 2023 09:07:41
Maguire could fight his way back into the team,
Onana as keeper will also be more suited to him.
Do the eds think Maguire will want to leave because of the upcoming Euros?
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea if the Euros are of any relevance.}
1.) 17 Jul 2023 09:25:54
Hes 5th choice at best, he's not good enough, now he's been embarrassed by having the captaincy stripped off him.
Would make sense to go elsewhere and actually play.
2.) 17 Jul 2023 11:19:00
Erik seems a decent chap, I'm sure they've had numerous conversations and Maguire knows where he stands. If he was 3-4th choice maybe you'd make a go of it but it couldn't have been made any clearer (publicly too) that he's not the type of CB Erik plays.
01 Jul 2023 09:41:25
I've done some reading the last few days, Through the usual media articles and then Through some financial based articles.
Think its pretty obvious that we will only spend what is available, until then ownership/ investment situation is sorted why would the glazers invest more.
Regarding the Ownership my friends in America say in the next couple of weeks it will come to a conclusion and not to rule out the Glazers staying.
Whatever happens i just want Ten hag to be supported as much as possible to help him do his job, the rest is pretty much irrelevant.
Enjoy your summer everyone.

22 Jun 2023 09:07:34
From what I read Murtogh and ETH are not on the same page regarding De gea, Finances playing there part in this.
I really hope we don't see another situation where ETH is not fully supported and he decides to make a point over a season that gets himself sacked.
1.) 22 Jun 2023 09:24:18
Who wants what?
2.) 22 Jun 2023 09:28:44
Have our board and managers ever been on the same page since the glazers took over. If you look back there’s so many questionable signings that in retrospect managers have said they didn’t want. Sanchez, pogba to name a few. Having people unqualified but with huge egos doing jobs they are incapabale of, is why we are where we are. United should have the best in class but we are far from that.
3.) 22 Jun 2023 09:28:51
Murtogh is not going to be there once the sale goes through. I would not worry about eth. The club hiarchy all going to get a wake up call and expect plenty of changes coming.
4.) 22 Jun 2023 09:41:46
Priority is a CF as we could not score enough goals to blow teams away when we should’ve and legs in MF especially when Case was missing. I’d blow our whole budget on Kane and Rice if doable (obvs player sales with help) and sign DDG up again rather than outlay on a new GK. While I also feel we do need a new GK I think you get away with DDG in goal with players comfortable receiving the ball like Licha and Varane, while I’d like better quality to rotate with Varane if signing Rice and Kane meant Lindelof was cover and DDG stayed on then I’m all for it.
But none of this will happen and we will be lucky to end up with Onana, Todibo/ Disasi, Mount, Hoijlund (if Bayern don’t get there first) and I’d be happy with that window tbh with ETH as manager, Garnacho breaking through some more and player sales likely to happen, tho I’d have picked Costa, Kim, Rice, Kane as my window.
5.) 22 Jun 2023 11:46:20
Just hoping we make enough quality signings to make top 4 next year; because of greed of Glazers and legacy lack of planning, we’re in a really messy situation this window.
Hopefully new owners will run the club more professionally and we’ll be able to operate like Man City and Liverpool, to name a few….
So fingers crossed we do enough to improve the first team this window and not allow our incompetence to miss out on main targets.
Really hoping takeover agreed very soon and new owners allow Ten Hag some financial freedom in the market (FFP allowing) .
6.) 22 Jun 2023 15:44:42
Not sure how you are funding Costa, kim, rice and kane WRD ?
I thought I was an optimist!
7.) 22 Jun 2023 16:37:48

I know Dodgy, that’s in the parallel world I occasionally frequent ? I’d settle for Rice and Kane ??.
9.) 22 Jun 2023 18:21:20
It’s obvious really.
Costa £65m
Kim £50m
Rice £100m
Kane £100m
= £315m spend
Speak to the Saudi’s and…
Maguire £50m
Fred £40m
McT £50m
Martial £40m
Add Henderson £25m and VDB £20m and we only need to find £90m.
It’s so simple when you think about it. I don’t know what is taking us so long to be honest.

The Saudis are buying up Chelsea rejects to help them get around FFP because they're invested in both Boehly's Clearlake Capital and in Saudi Football league teams They won't want to help United get rid of its dross.
{Ed002's Note - Are you beyond ignorant? Clearlake Capital is not Todd Boehly’s. I am not aware of “The Saudis” buying any rejects and it is nothing whatsoever to do with FSG. Embarrassing.}

The Saudi League is a bit like the Liv golf thing, where from a pure spend/ investment purpose it makes no sense. If you look at other things being done there at the moment like Neom, DDGA, Red sea, seven etc etc financial returns of this stuff is all very questionable but its being done with a long term view of completely changing the country.
When it comes to football it has a 40 mill population and they are crazy about their football so in some ways its not as far fetched as the other stuff.
In terms of relationships all the PE firms, Large hedge funds have had relationships with sovereign wealth funds out here for many years so nothing unusual there.

Brendan - Fred £40m? Fulham are baulking at £10-15m.

A associate of mine close to the Swedish national team is pretty adamant Lindelof will be leaving in the summer.
Ed, have any teams shown interest in him for the summer?
{Ed002's Note - RTP.}

Might end up having to replace Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly and Tuanzebe.
2.) 11 Apr 2023 13:48:26
I can't see both Lindy and Maguire going myself but certainly one. Frighteningly I guess Maguire is our biggest sellable asset.

All 4 mentioned Cbs can leave for me. We need quality players at club.
4.) 11 Apr 2023 15:44:30
Could sign Ndicka and de Vrij on free transfers as back up and still be better off in terms of playing quality.
5.) 11 Apr 2023 20:21:57
I agree Mad Hatter, whilst we will have to be clever in the window and progression from the youth set up none of those should remain. We need to clear space for better.
Between the lot we could bring in £40m+ and should be able to bring in one of the targets.

Clearly a lonely keyboard warrior.
Enjoy.

Sure you have better things to do then pick on My opinion? I think they are never far off in regards to when they said glazers preferring investment and when pogba was taking the club for a ride.
Just because things don't materialise does not mean it's a false rumour or information?
I won't post anything they say again.
18 May 2023 13:14:06
AJH where did I say my track record is strong?
I just pass information on I get told time to time?
I have no problems telling you it's not my information so I would never say it is or swear by it?
10 Feb 2022 13:42:40
Thanks Ed,
17 Nov 2019 09:52:05
Thanks Ed, Best hope is to win the Europa then.
Do you think he would cut it in England?
{Ed002's Note - Spurs have put a lot of effort in to scouting him and there was a push from their chief scout to add him to the squad but it never happened. So I would think so.}
01 Jul 2023 15:21:05
Only pass on what I been told, If they are wrong then its no big deal, its a rumour site?
I don't understand the grief people get for posting a rumour.

The problem is with Joel and Avram they are not on the same wave length as there siblings and believe the relationship can be fixed with the fans if they can deliver some future success and infrastructure development.
Some American friends I get the odd bit of information from has told me a couple of times an American investment firm are right in the mix to take some shares and offer investment.
Looking at the long game is risky for whoever they are and the glazers.
I don't mind if it's SJR or Qatar I just want a club that is not at risk with debt looming over the club.
Whatever happens i think the fan base that are wagging there tails for Qatar have not thought about there disaster at another Club other than psg.

For sure there would be a big fan reaction.
Nice to have opinions that are not points scoring on here.
Top man Mumbles.

I do think people have forgotten they can raise money through selling stadium naming rights.
Selling ground around the stadium.
Selling training facilities and then renting back etc
There is still a lot that can be done from the glazers side.
Long term they could just sit tight and wait it out until some success comes along.
The 31% they don't control could still be attained by someone that would want to invest in club.
Many options are on the table I imagine that most do not know about.
18 Jan 2023 19:06:52
Good news but i still would think it will be someone similar to them.
An investment and not a takeover.
Sure we will find out more next month.
