'Arry's dog
selling modric and RdV
VDV Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
it just shows that the guys upstairs who run Arsenal are incomeptent, which we all kind of knew already anyways.
and I take it all these rumors linking every promising midfielder to Spurs means that Parker probably won't be first choice come the start of the next season? or at least that AVB doesn't particularly rate him?
edit: VDV leaving? I wonder how much he would go for in today's transfer market
Copied these from a guy I follow on Twitter
Gill: "Debt doesn't impact what we do." Document: "Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and competitive position."
Gill: "There has been no impact in terms of our transfers." Document: "Debt reduces cash flow to fund the hiring and retention of players."
Player purchases between 2009-2011 £124.86m, player sales £152.87m. Net spend: £-28m.
Document also states that between 2009 and 2011, United paid £244.916m in INTEREST on the debt. Sickening.
I think I've found how the PIKs were paid off - MUFC borrowed £502m in 2010.
That's about the only thing. They've done well in making the most of the United brand to gain extra income.

I don't even want to start getting carried away but AVB is definitely the man to pursuade such talent to move to our new project. I read somewhere that Oscar was about to join QPR last season but failed he's work permit, but now since he has capped some international games fr brazil he is less likely to fail it. One can hope.
I haven't seen their accounts but Levy runs a good operation at Spurs. I assume he's put some funds aside for transfers already.
And whatever money they make from selling players will also go into their transfer funds.

That mark guy on twitter talks a ton of bs. I'd be very surprised and happy if we went for both Sigurdsson and Oscar. He's a fantastic player though. QPR must be pissed as hell they couldn't get a work permit.
Nope.
:lol
Madrid are apparently out of the race, with Sahin not wanting to move to Spurs yet Spurs don't want to sell him to a team in the PL.
Time for PSG to get involved
That would include the money from the sale of Modric & Van Der Vaart, right? If it doesn't, it's insane.

Edit - Btw that £500m in 2010 was the bonds wasn't it? Still spent an odd £100m just doing that though.

Hope he buys Torres for 50 million.
But yeah that is ridiculous. How the flying fook are we supposed to compete with that?
Going to read the document now and then cry myself to sleep.
Crouch
Palacios
Hutton
Pavlyuchenko
Corluka
Kranjcar
Keane
O'Hara
~£48 million in sales
With possibly dos santos and Bentley on there way out soon too. Modric on the market for atleast £30millon. During which we spent about £7million in that period on players.
Our squad is looking really skinny that's what a lot of people don't realise so we'll be probably signing only a few key players and bringing through some of our talented youth players AVB likes.
Is the list accumulative or dipping in and out of the fizzy pop league with one team?
Some positive spin.
MUFC state that player purchases for 2011 were £25.4m, given comments on record, that means Bébé's price was around £5m not £7m.
Bargain.
Trying to look at the positive side of things. Even a lowball figure of £100m would ease our interest payments significantly.
Its blindingly obvious that the Glazers are here to milk the club dry. They won't be selling any of the voting shares so they'll remain in full control. So I'm pessimistic about this how much money United will actually raise.
If they make SAF do a promotional video for this shite, I'll cry.

In the past year or so we've got rid of Pav, Hutton, Keane, Palacios, Crouch, O'Hara, Kranjcar, Corluka. And in that time the only player we really bought was Scott Parker. We made smart signings, but we pretty much spent fuck all. It was obvious that Daniel Levy didn't want to give Harry money to spend. It shouldn't be a surprise that we have a lot available this summer.
Wish I'd seen this post before typing all that out! I forgot Hutton as well. Selling Gio should bring in a few quid. And hopefully Jenas fucks off this summer.

It's how long the managers have been at their current club. I don't understand how you're getting confused here...

Yeah I mean. This is a good step for us, we need the money in and they've admitted that and this outlines the intention to do that. It is most certainly "good news".
It's just to get to that bit of salvation...we have had to go through all this shit and that coming out now...it's just sad to see it down on paper even though we all knew it was happening.

Dont think we have forgiven you for that either mate.
I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to sign him! Thank god for McRelegator.
It's good to talk, group therapy guiz.
From andersred "Two key takeaways, no dividends and proceeds of IPO will be used to reduce debt. That's very good news for United."
At least that's something.
FIFA 13 leak. The green kit is so shit. Thought it was a referee :lol
They did Cabaye!!! <3 He looked shit in Fifa 12.
Are there any more pics? About other teams in general.
Not that I know of.
Are you guys sending him on loan or keeping him in the reserves?
Ahaha, Tuttosport with another amazing title. Rosicare = eating one's heart out.

Also Livermore, and I think AVB will like Alex Pritchard.

Long long nights ahead for those who work in United's PR department.
Pogba - Fergie can STFU about "respect". Nicked Pogba from Le Havre in the first place anyway. Done the same many time ourselves. We got caught out, simple as that. If Pog has left for more money than come out and say it. Oh wait he can't...cos then he'd have to explain why we can't give him what he wants.
Not a problem any more, everybody knows now.

Same. Don't want him around anyway. Clearly looking for a new club or some kind of ridiculous pay rise. Achieved nothing and not even shown immense talent. Do one.
