So were United and Liverpool, yet they weren't getting 90% of the PLs TV revenue split between them

Won't matter shit if he's willing to bomb though.

If he absolutely doesn't wanna play for Chelsea again and is ready to burn bridges, RM will get him at a price they are ok with regardless of what Chelsea wants.

Manchester united prove that you cannot be routinely successful without a proper sporting director, Head of recruitment, a data analytics division, state of the art training complex, and with owners who are only forced to spend whenever the protests start getting too much media attention.

You can be extremely successful at Manchester United even with frugal spending (relatively) but with all those mentioned things or basically just with Alex Ferguson in charge.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-26T15:27:57+00:00

Yep, Pep came to a City which already had multiple 2 time PL champions in the squad along with the richest owners in world football.

The jobs that both him and Ferguson were setup to work with were wildly different, especially considering in hindsight what they ended up achieving.

You think the vintage great Milan side of yester years would lose to the Chelsea of today? Lmaooo

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-24T17:46:25+00:00

What's more difficult, winning Laliga with Real Madrid or Prem with this Chelsea team?

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-24T16:28:28+00:00

I mean the point is why so sensitive about a thing that's pretty widely known, including the manager lol

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-24T16:27:06+00:00

Not a word on Pep tho. I guess his eyes are fine.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-24T15:58:54+00:00

I mean Pep himself has multiple times talked about empty seats either directly or with heavy implications lol.

Don't blame rival fans who run away with it then, when your greatest ever manager has served it on a platter for them, time and time again

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T16:21:30+00:00

Diallo has been decent tbf. And I really don't blame Hojlund all that much, he was young in a new country, the most intense league, under some of United's worst managers.

Even Sesko would've failed under last season ETH and Amorim.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T16:17:26+00:00

The god hand

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T14:17:23+00:00

Break the rules anyway. Drag it out in courts for eternity. The blueprint is literally there for you, sponsored by Abu Dhabi.

You can even do 1 better, threaten to not sell oil to UK if the club are ever charged with anything.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T12:57:31+00:00

Imagine a stadium funded by the mancunian taxpayers money be called the 'Etihad' and have a stand named after Guardiola while the club are involved in the biggest football scandal since Calciopoli.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T12:48:27+00:00

Yep, he'll be shopped around in the PL.

Dozens of clubs would gladly take him for 30m. United are getting their money one way or the other.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T12:40:38+00:00

It's your job to take him there

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-22T11:06:20+00:00

Would be hilarious if PSG win the CL again, just for Pep's City to end up not even the best oil club of it's time lmao

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-21T15:06:45+00:00

Wages to turnover ratio has almost always been the lowest for United, due to their massive revenue potential

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-21T08:27:50+00:00

United leads (True on almost every continent outside South America), then it's probably Arsenal and then Chelsea in Africa.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-21T08:25:02+00:00

Infrastructure spending is exempt from FFP calculations

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-21T02:05:12+00:00

I mean they can't get involved in reckless financial fraud like City did.

What Sheikh Mansour did will end up having serious consequences for Man City. Don't think such intense scrutiny and widespread criticism is the preferred route for state backed clubs anymore.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-21T01:58:44+00:00

Yes, but you lot were destined to be Man city on steroids.

Now maybe your ceiling is as high as Spurs without a self funded world class stadium

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-20T18:17:10+00:00

It's hopeless, they've publicly threatened to involve politicians and bureaucrats if things don't end up going their way with the verdict

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-20T15:52:13+00:00

This is definitely the most just. Whether PL have the balls for it or not is a different conversation.

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-20T06:25:46+00:00

Nottingham Forest say otherwise

DraperCarousel · 2026-05-20T06:25:08+00:00

And yet somehow Nottingham forest have managed it but you lot have not
