Skrtel's pretty much cut that out since February. We're now even worse at defending them
They should be booing their own player for giving away such a stupid penalty.

Not disputing the original origins of said cash. I just think Chelsea have a better model right now as it stands. Utd won't sell their young players on for massive profits. They cannot rely on money from transfers. Their investment in recent years has been very poor.
I speak as a fan of a club who have always had fuck all squared or bad luck (West Ham) when it comes to owners/investment.
I would totally be in favour of a spending cap per year on players. Would make the league more dynamic and we'd see a lot more youth come through. We used to have a brilliant academy but we see very little of it these days.

We don't need to rely on those things when we've the levels of income we do from sponsorship.
United's model has worked well. Commercialise the fuck out of the club.

Man Utd's model is basically hording as much money as possible from backroom deals, sponsorship, merchandising, basically anything exploiting their popularity. They don't intend to spend £200m every summer, but it was necessary. Their squad setup was a mess at the end of last season, and still is in many ways. The owners would rather not have to spend such amounts at all since for them, they want profits, they're not in it for the lols.
But they had to spend that money to make money in the future, otherwise they were risking spending years out of the CL as we did, which could lead to a financial nosedive.

Arsenal fans. The season is only about a quarter in. Arsenal has a solid squad. Im positive you wont finish in 8th. I dont understand why they didnt bring back Fabregas and Vela back. Would have been a strong and deep team.
how did it go with the carpet? did they put it down right?

Chelsea and City will only continue to get better at that too. Chelsea in particular will gradually commercialise like Utd did and still have their profit for players model.
Utd are £500m-£700m in debt and will still go on to spend ~£200 million on transfers this season. They do have exceptional commercialisation.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea buy an MLS franchise like City.
Utd will find it hard to be successful in future to keep as high of a profile. City and Chelsea will continue to be big players. Back in the day it was Arsenal Vs Utd.

but m8 they have no affinity to the cl and they dont trust/like uefa
United's debt isn't anywhere near close to that. Net debt is down to £275.4m with repayments of £25m p/a.
All the money from the recent share sales went to transfers. Net transfer spend for 2014/15 is £90m.

Apologies if my information was incorrect. I'd just read a couple of articles from August this year that had quoted those figures.
Are you aroused?

How does he not see it, he looks straight at it.
We've had accounts published since that. I actually got my interest figure wrong, went and looked again and it's £25m p/a.

This is made so much better by how sitting on that icebox has become his thing this season. He does it every match.

How did they manage to do that in less than a year? In January it was definitely hundreds of millions more. (The overall debt)
AHAHAHA god he's brilliant!
and you just KNOW that PSG are gonna snatch him next season
yeah that dude clearly wanted to prank him
Glazers actually made moves to pay it off.
I recommend reading this http://andersred.blogspot.co.uk/ and going back through Andy's tweets. He doesn't have loads so it's not too hard to fly back through them and search for the words you're after like debt etc. https://twitter.com/andersred
