Seriously, what the hell was Ferguson thinking when he signed this guy for real money:
😆 That's all from one game?
The pass around 0:52 always gets me. He really, really aims before he makes it, and sure enough - it reaches one of Wolves' centrebacks eventually.
Went for a walk at lunch time today and this sign in a clothes shop front made me chuckle:
He probably owns the shop.
Nobody is still buying them bloody Rooney shirts despite 30 % off. 🙁
😆 It was probably a mistake ordering all them Rooney- King of Brazil 2014 T's.
Kit deal with Adidas to be announced today. Rumored to be 10 year 700 million 😮
Be a travesty if that's true. At least cut it down to £50m/year or five years …
We have spoken about how we stand to benefit from FFP getting enforced. There will be no stopping United though.
That said, a team can only have so many top players at a time.
Oh, I know. It'd just be a shame if their kit deal was fully twice what ours is, plus the add-ons from their bumper training kit deal and so on—and in spite of their lack of CL football.
On the bright side that deal could be slightly below market value in its eighth year... straws and all that.
It's actually 750 million.
Couple that with their other sponsorship deals and United have some serious money coming in. They really do have the best brand in football.
How much is ours per year - 25 million?
Up to £30m with incentives I think? Chickenfeed compared to what they're announcing.
£150 Million for 5 years.
Good thing we signed only for 5 years. If we are successful on the pitch in the next 5 years, we will be much closer to United for the last 5 years of their deal than we are now, once we renew.
Let's just win the CL once 🙂

Obviously we can't offer Europe this season, but a bigger and more competitive league would be a big plus point in many players' careers. Plus I struggle to see us missing out on European football two years in a row. Lets use the money available to go for Reus.deluded manc2 wrote:See the lack of Champ's League mentioned in a lot of places.

Reaching RAWK levels here.
At least there's a case for the United fans being so (over)confident, they've done nothing but win over the last 20 years. Liverpool on the other hand...

Can't believe their deal is almost 3 times as much as ours. We could never reach their level commercially for the next 20 years unless we win the league almost every season and build up such huge fanbase like what Barca did this decade to raise their profile.
Adidas is mad though paying 750m. They didn't even want to pay us what PUMA was paying us already. No wonder Nike backed out. It's not that profitable paying this much nowadays.
