United have scored 5 goals in their last 7 league matches. That should give you an impression of where they are right now. Edit: Including Europa League and Carabao Cup, that's 7 goals scored in their last 10. And if we don't count penalty shootouts, only two wins.

Think they had tv deals in which Barcelona and Real Madrid got huge portion of it because most watched teams in la liga and other teams lower down table only getting a fraction what they are getting compared to England where it is fairly disturbed that’s why feel sorry for those teams because they don’t earn much money anyways then league is doing that
Find a new excuse you salty probably arsenal or Liverpool fan.

Take a good look at your shit club. If you can't comprehend the genius of SAF, you need brain surgery
@NathanUpdates I honestly think the idea was getting Mandzukic or Dyballa. I think United really belived at least one of those two would come. When that failed, United could have went for something panically, but thought they had enough offensive players utill the next transfer window. (In retrospective a panic loan would have been smart choice, but I think United are now aiming for long term solutions, and they overestimated their squad depth)
I’m not even a Utd fan but that comment from Ed Woodard is absolutely sacrilege! Furthermore it is unforgivable and clearly demonstrates he is unfit for his role. Whether you like it or not Manchester United is an institute of sporting excellence, not because of their global earning potential off-field but rather because of their dynamic exciting footballing prowess on field. We are witnessing the implosion of a shining era and the epoch of incompetence and stagnation. Another great & informative video. I’ll add the book to the reading list.
at this point i am wondering if they can keep themselves from bottom 10 that 0 shots on target vs alkamar really opened my eyes to how bad they really play if you compare for example how leister has been handling it self to how united have since ferguson left (since 2013-2014) you realize how bad that is .. i am not even talking about the half a billion debt they took to finance the buy only to pay on interest so far 800 million i mean this is ridiculous .. it would be like a normal human being would decide to avoid eating and instead decide to eat its own organs ... slowly
It is not so much that sponsors will simply leave, but the record breaking new bids will go to other teams and no one will bother to bid much harder next year than last year for a Man United deal. They just will not be one of the first girls asked to dance, and that will definitely affect their relative finances over the long haul.
Brighton fan but I don’t think anyone, and especially united fans, realise just how good Sir Alex Ferguson was compared to the next best in world football. Yes he had a great team but united over achieved year after year and the fans got used to it. They can’t rebuild back to these glory days but maybe in 5 years + can fight for titles again. Fans need to lower their expectations like for example Chelsea fans who now realise they’re in a rebuilding process where any points they do get in the league is a bonus. Another great video btw.
332 million in wages?! Lingard, Jones, Young, Sanchez (loaned to Inter Milan but still being paid by United) ... How is Woodward & Co. still have a job defies any logic. And some "fans" are calling for the head of Solskjaer, just like with Mourinho. Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer have one thing in common: Woodward and the board appointed them. So, is sacking the manager really the solution?
No, they WILL give him a lifetime contract. And they will not buy any players and just use academy players in the name of following Sir Alex's steps:) 92' class will come again!!!! (in 2092?) All Hail the Mighty Glazers, Woodward the Whizz and Solskjaer the True Special One.
If Manchester United go down to the championship, then a lot of the fans driven away will return and a lot of the idiots who go now won't bother. So in a way a lot of fans will enjoy it, the one who's love United no matter what.
Thank you for this video - I’ve been saying for years that Matchday revenue isn’t enough to cover players wages and in Utds case it covers less than a 3rd of their wage bill... I would like to see a video detailing the breakdown of Match Day revenue and how much is drawn in from - General Sale tickets - corporate tickets - matchday sponsors - food and beverage - merchandise... The reason for this request is because of a statement made on Sky Sunday supplement during a discussion on ticket prices in which one of the panel members stated that Utd could literally give the general sale tickets (including season tickets) for free and only see a 5% drop in overall revenue... If that’s the case then clubs shouldn’t be charging more than 15 quid a game as that is just greed...
6:19 How have they spent £99m on players since 30th June 2019 when Dan James and AWB were already accounted for? Did Maguire cost £99m once all the fees were added up?
The next generation of international fans won't be supporting Man U. They are lucky that their fans are loyal for now and still remember the good times.
Nah. The man signed Bailly, Ibra, Mkhitaryan, Fred, pogba, Lindelhof, Lukaku, Sanchez, matic, Dalot, and lee grant. And somehow he managed to piss them all off.
Stop with that expired oil money crap, City is a lot more successful these 7 years than their entire history, their fanbase globally is improving because of the attractive football they are playing, and now consistently breaking the QF of UCL. It is only logical all of their income streams grow exponentially, they are a promising project that any business entities would sponsor on and any unbiased football fan would watch on. Not to mention they rake a good sum of prize money every year now
FRED COST HOW MUCH!?!? **spraying coffee and marmite toast all over my monitor** I'm thinking, as a Crystal Palace supporter.. Are they interested in Benteke? For.. £100m? With extras?
@@rorrt That is the game today though? Fred is a full international and is a good player. His price is obviously inflated to match and in some ways exceed the market today. Lets not forget that Liverpool paid nearly 40 for Andy Carroll and Chelsea paid 50 for Torres. It happens.
Liverpool paid 35 million for Carroll but only because they got 50 million for Torres. They sold Benayoun for 6 million, and used the rest to buy Suarez for 21 million. Let's be honest, they got shafted with Carroll but it was offset by success of Suarez.
Manchester United should not be in the position they are in. It should be impossible to be in the position they are in. The financial advantages they - and every other top European team - now have should mean that the gap between them and 90% of the other teams in the league is unbridgeable. Yet Woodward has managed to do the impossible - take this indestructible brand and run it into the ground over six years of mismanagement so terrible it's virtually unprecedented in the history of modern football. And the fact that the Glazers haven't fired him or installed a sporting director tells you everything you need to know about their own competence.
Players don't wanna play for united. I mean it's one of the biggest clubs with rich history. I don't wanna talk about what's going on with united but they really need to fix everything from ground to the top.
chumpo ah German football teams have a law where the fans must own 51% of club shares (a majority), so that they have the power to veto anything their owner does. It keeps ticket prices very low, teams need less sponsorship, keeps the club firmly connected with its fans, and stops a rogue owner (Glazers) from doing what they want. They can also decide that, if their owner is not doing a good enough job (Glazers again) to vote them out of power. Man Utd could kick out Ed Woodward and the Glazers straight away under a 50+1 rule. Corbyn was talking about introducing a system like it which is good.
Honestly. Some of the money spent looked like decent buys/loans Di Maria, Falco, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Miki. Even Pogba, Sanchez, Martial on paper looks like great buys. But it's all either not worked, or just fallen apart. Honestly I feel Man Utd need a whole refresh. May take a moment of not having European football to get right. The squad needs a major lift. Some good youth that actually want to succeed and play for the shirt. Even if it means not buying these 'global superstars' as it seems that's failed time after time. Because otherwise. I don't see Man utd going any where any time soon.
I agree with everything in this video. Except the comparisson between how much Sir Fergusson spent against Ole or Mourinho since the market has become really inflated and players like Fred wouldn't go for around 53mil back then. Of course I still believe they paid a huge amount for Fred but as an Internacional fan I know he can be good and I'm kind of sad that most United fans blame him for most of their issues.
I’m a Celtic fan, I don’t love not hate Man Utd! I don’t mind how they do, Jamie redknapp made a good point a few days ago stating he can see them becoming Liverpool and 30 years without a league win. That’s scary!
We are too big to fail .. we will keep supporting MU with everything until we die ... it's in our veins trophies isn't everything .. we have a great history 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
No matter what even if I stay trophy-less all my life that's the price of love to the clup .. we will support if a financial crisis happen .. buying t shirts and attending all games if possible .. one day will comeback .. I'll wait until the day I die .. even without trophies True Red ❤️
I’d love to see more comparisons to other clubs in relation to finance increase/decrease in areas. Aswell as that whether or not club costs are going up in general so not just a Man U thing. good vid tho
They really haven't realised how fickle football fans are when it comes to foreign teams. There are probably 100,000 Man City fans in Shanghai alone, how many of them were Man Utd fans 8 years ago? Of course there are exceptions who go hardcore, I met a Leeds Utd fan in Thailand in 2010, when they were a League 1 side. But it's not the diehards who make you the money, it's the noodle sponsors and the people who watch the occasional game in the bar and buy a shirt for themselves, and one for each sobrin@ for their birthday.
When I was in Munich, Bayern played Bundesliga game against Hertha and a lot of people were in Bayern or Hertha kits. There was group of chinese tourists which entered in Bayern store and they all bought Bayern kits. By looking at them, maybe 5 people in that group would know to name 3 Bayern players.
G Yorkshire I live in Shanghai are there’s still a lot more united shirts you see than City, a hell of a lot more, or any other English club. However, how long this will last will of course depend on their success. I have no doubt things will change soon if United continue their sorry slide.
@The fastest milkman in the West Yep, that's the main demographic of Los Angeles, Crips make up 49% of the population, Bloods 37% and the remainder is a mishmash of wools (bad), wools (good) and a small Jewish population (predominantly Ashkenazi and Mizrahi).
I said to a UTD fan when Alex left "welcome to the premier league". Sure they might get a manager that might win them a cup or two over a couple of seasons. But a few losses? They will be sacked. I say this to UTD fans. There will never be another Alex. He was once in a lifetime manager.
As United fan I hope it will so maybe Glazers would sell club to someone else. This has to be worst Man United team in history, no passion, no skill, no creativity, no one knows to score a goal. My local team would beat Man United atm.
It really is astonishing how poorly run Manchester United are, the prospect for them to be the best club in the world is there, with the structure, history and reputaion there success post Ferguson was all there. Woodward has done exceptionally well in building Manchester United's financial dominance, but he's clearly not the right man to lead the footballing operations, to think he made such an idiotic comment as that just epitomizes his lack of knowledge in sports management. It's been clear for a while they need a Director of Footballing operations, and they've clearly been looking but they have so far not found a suitable candidate. They need to find the right man for the job as this person can make or break United. Clearly they need someone soon. My issue with them for a while has been there insistence on brining in a former player who has minimal experience, though they insist this former player has the clubs ideals in mind, they don't possess the knowledge as some do. Only Edwin Van De Sar can be considered good enough as a former player to lead the clubs vision, but reports say he doesn't want the job. They need to get someone and the right man soon, this club has lacked a clear vision for a long time, the chopping and changing has left the club with a slew of players who call suit different systems and are all on mixed lengths of contracts. The managers brought in all have had different styles and with that we've seen the club play in all sorts of ways, with that the identity of the club has remained unclear and that causes further confusion throughout the club. To fix all these issues they need a Dan Ashworth, Stuart Webber, or a Luis Campos, these guys all have done exceptionally well in creating sustainable clubs. All of these guys have bought bargain players that turned into gold or found young prospects that are currently some of the most interesting in the world, on top of that they have hired managers who fit these signings and the clubs style, all of these clubs have the structure to thrive and have done so with constant improvement. I recommend the Manchester United Board start really looking for this kind of staff member, they've half-assed it so far and its clear they need to give this there all, this will be the most important signing in the clubs recent history.
The shame is change is unlikely to occur until the finance suffer, and that is unlikely to happen soon with football is the biggest cash cow of all sports in the world, a mediocre Premier league team can easily have yearly earnings of billions, let alone a club such as United. what the Glazer and Woodward miss is that reputation takes time to build and destroy, and currently Man United is slowly sliding out of football fans interest, but when it becomes too late, it will take years to restore United to it's full glory. we need many changes before we can climb back up, we need a passionate management, talented coach and loyal footballers who value football more than changing their hair style week in week out. unfortunately none of these are likely to happen anytime soon or at all.
@@timmyfung01 Well, football isn't really the biggest cash cow in the world, the amount of investment and risk makes it not really as financially viable as a NBA or NFL, I think its financially on par with MLB currently. The rewards are there, but the NBA and NFL are bigger cash cows as the franchise makes these sports financially more capable. Even if it doesn't reach the same volume of audience its consistency makes it viable.
If this form would make the Glazers let go of the club, then I hope we can get through this rough patch ASAP and go through a Renaissance. It's been too long, the passion for the club and the fighting spirit, I miss all of that. We're slowly fading away and soon we'll become a moderate club at most. Please don't let that happen, please...
The transfer policy is quite simple: Continue to spend bigger than the competitors on main transfer targets. Only difference so far being that ManU's standing and potential swayed players in favor of ManU either way - that is now gone. They now spend bigger than competitors on 1B or even second shelf-options
As we ALL know, its performance on the pitch that comes first before anything else. You can't expect external brands to meet with clubs who are relegation-threatened, it doesn't work.
Rashford was handed a 200k/week salary before the summer ended and was going to be the main striker this season because Ole and the gang like Neville showed no love to Lukaku. Dont blame Ed on not signing a striker. Rashford was going to be our no1. However, Ole quickly and rightly so along with other pundits realized that Rashford is not a no. 9 and will never be a 20+ goal striker so therefore he pushed Mason Greenwood on us saying he is a better finished. It nuts!
That was a killer blow eh which I think some people also put most of it in their pockets Then came sanchez and so on Do you really think that the special one would do those deals if the cash was his?
What Ed Woodward has essentially done was cashing in on the goodwill of the MU brand towards sponsors. At the meanwhile sponsors pour in money based on the assumption that MU's brand will at the very least remain status quo. However with the lack of trophies and 'soul', now sponsors won't renew and it will be felt really badly when long term sponsors decided to either pull out or renegotiate at a much lower sponsorship amount during the end of sponsorship term
hmmer It would never happened! They have struggled recently. But not that badly! It would be a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge shock to see Manchester United be relegated!
Yes! He'll buy the club after Glazers leave and rename it Solskjaer United. Everyone in the team will have to pray before every training to Ole Statue.
People always complain about City's oil money, saying they only win because they spend big. In the same 2013 - 2019 period, Man City spent around 1.1 billion, and Man Utd spent around 956 million. In that time period, Man City moved from 2nd to 1st, and Man Utd from 1st to 6th. If money made everyone instantly better, Man City would probably still be first, but Utd would be right behind. But that's clearly not the case. Yes, money makes you better, but to be the best you have to spend it wisely. Man City and Man Utd have spent almost the same amount of money. Any differences between the quality of the teams doesn't come down to 'oil money', it's just about making smarter decisions overall.
@@danielmeech2418 well there's a huge difference because Manchester united worked their ass off to reach that status, they won titles got tv sponsors, got history and legends and made that money, the owners came on because they're a big team cause they win titles, man city a league 1 standard team at that time suddenly got a madness boost with billions of money, no history, no big name suddenly getting billions of pounds, any club would be good with that amount of money even Colchester united would be champions league finalists with that money but would you say that is fair to other clubs like aston vila, Westham, leeds united? Who actually have history but not the money anymore.
JN11 there is difference, if I am given resources who am I not to use them. If a runner was given all the training facilities for the olympics and another runner worked his ass off in a farm and the gym guy wins then the gym guys IS the better athlete no matter the means they are still powerful in the now and that’s the reality of City
@@user-bo6yl5ni6s I never said Man City didn't suddenly get a lot of money. They did suddenly get a lot of money. My point was just that the two clubs have spent just about as much money as each other in last few years, but Man City is clearly the better team. It is wrong and incorrect to say Man City are the better team just because of their money. Clearly, they have made smarter decisions with that money and that's why they're ahead.
The biggest mistake from Man Utd is selling Lukaku without getting a experienced Center forward. Rashford is good but he def not a Center forward. The major role of a Center forward is knowing how to hold up the play and create space for teammates. Rashford is known for his pace and sudden penetration. He needs time to adapt his new role.
Team depending on the U18 and we were still wasting time to sign a couple of players....Instead they sold Lukaku Herrera and more without replacing them. How could this team get forward?
Ultimate success on the pitch will always impact overall financial success. Clubs like Barca and Real don't attract the best sponsors because of the sunny weather. It's the success on the pitch.
I've been a United fan since I discovered English football about 25 years ago. But the bottom line with me is akin to Dan Topping's dismantlement of the Yankee dynasty in the early 60's. IF the owners don't care about the team, WHY should I?
It really does. They got successful because they played well and won things. You play shit, slowly your fan base starts decreasing. Less fans= Less Revenue (Less merchandise purchase, less Membership tickets, subscriptions etc). Plus it dilutes the brands of your players. There's a reason why Mo Salah and Van Dyjk are so famous. Not only are they great footballers but they are also playing in a team that plays attractive football and wins titles.

Master Chief that’s so funny
@NathanUpdates I honestly think the idea was getting Mandzukic or Dyballa. I think United really belived at least one of those two would come. When that failed, United could have went for something panically, but thought they had enough offensive players utill the next transfer window. (In retrospective a panic loan would have been smart choice, but I think United are now aiming for long term solutions, and they overestimated their squad depth)
@NathanUpdates 8 It feels like this is worst United team in history
Someone said the manner in which spurs are going down they will soon discover man utd
Spurs lol. Relax mate
Spurs have at least the players it's a bad phase they are going thru
Mehnnn I need a break from the internet
That bubble is about to pop. Spurs suck.
I’m not even a Utd fan but that comment from Ed Woodard is absolutely sacrilege! Furthermore it is unforgivable and clearly demonstrates he is unfit for his role. Whether you like it or not Manchester United is an institute of sporting excellence, not because of their global earning potential off-field but rather because of their dynamic exciting footballing prowess on field. We are witnessing the implosion of a shining era and the epoch of incompetence and stagnation. Another great & informative video. I’ll add the book to the reading list.
Imagine utd not being in top6 at the end of the season I can see a lot of sponsors leaving
They will finish outside of top 6
at this point i am wondering if they can keep themselves from bottom 10
that 0 shots on target vs alkamar really opened my eyes to how bad they really play
if you compare for example how leister has been handling it self to how united have since ferguson left (since 2013-2014) you realize how bad that is ..
i am not even talking about the half a billion debt they took to finance the buy only to pay on interest so far 800 million i mean this is ridiculous ..
it would be like a normal human being would decide to avoid eating and instead decide to eat its own organs ... slowly
They wont even finish in the top 10 lol
It is not so much that sponsors will simply leave, but the record breaking new bids will go to other teams and no one will bother to bid much harder next year than last year for a Man United deal. They just will not be one of the first girls asked to dance, and that will definitely affect their relative finances over the long haul.
Sponsors don't leave. They have contracts that both parties have to commit to. Until that contract is over, United will continue to make profit.
recommended video: 'When Manchester united was relegated'.
already done it because we have been relegated in 1974
were relegated.
Ben Flanagan, that's what he means.
Denis Law almost crying when he scored against United that year. Wearing blue but with red in hia heart
When you have to look for RUclips skill compilations to know why exactly you're buying a player, you know the team isn't doing well.
Brighton fan but I don’t think anyone, and especially united fans, realise just how good Sir Alex Ferguson was compared to the next best in world football. Yes he had a great team but united over achieved year after year and the fans got used to it. They can’t rebuild back to these glory days but maybe in 5 years + can fight for titles again. Fans need to lower their expectations like for example Chelsea fans who now realise they’re in a rebuilding process where any points they do get in the league is a bonus.
Another great video btw.
332 million in wages?! Lingard, Jones, Young, Sanchez (loaned to Inter Milan but still being paid by United) ... How is Woodward & Co. still have a job defies any logic. And some "fans" are calling for the head of Solskjaer, just like with Mourinho. Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer have one thing in common: Woodward and the board appointed them. So, is sacking the manager really the solution?
*OLE'S AT THE WHEEL !!!*
*I Hope they give him a lifetime contract !* 🙏😂
FO.
@Talha makes no sense....Glazers are the owners.
No, they WILL give him a lifetime contract.
And they will not buy any players and just use academy players in the name of following Sir Alex's steps:)
92' class will come again!!!! (in 2092?)
All Hail the Mighty Glazers, Woodward the Whizz and Solskjaer the True Special One.
I'd love for him to get a lifetime contract, as long as he gets unilateral control over transfers and football management.
My dream is to see man United playing in championship
My dream is to see Man U buy Neymar :D
That's a pretty sad dream
@@aaronbrown4199 that's actually a fantastic thought
If Manchester United go down to the championship, then a lot of the fans driven away will return and a lot of the idiots who go now won't bother. So in a way a lot of fans will enjoy it, the one who's love United no matter what.
Thank you for this video - I’ve been saying for years that Matchday revenue isn’t enough to cover players wages and in Utds case it covers less than a 3rd of their wage bill...
I would like to see a video detailing the breakdown of Match Day revenue and how much is drawn in from - General Sale tickets - corporate tickets - matchday sponsors - food and beverage - merchandise...
The reason for this request is because of a statement made on Sky Sunday supplement during a discussion on ticket prices in which one of the panel members stated that Utd could literally give the general sale tickets (including season tickets) for free and only see a 5% drop in overall revenue...
If that’s the case then clubs shouldn’t be charging more than 15 quid a game as that is just greed...
6:19 How have they spent £99m on players since 30th June 2019 when Dan James and AWB were already accounted for? Did Maguire cost £99m once all the fees were added up?
Money still owed from previous transfers
United signed a few youngsters, one being a 16yo from Monaco for 9 million.
Lukaku sale pretty much offset the Maguire transfer
The next generation of international fans won't be supporting Man U. They are lucky that their fans are loyal for now and still remember the good times.
I miss you mourinho!
Nah. The man signed Bailly, Ibra, Mkhitaryan, Fred, pogba, Lindelhof, Lukaku, Sanchez, matic, Dalot, and lee grant. And somehow he managed to piss them all off.
They reached the final of the Europa League against mighty Villarreal.
LOL City second in income, we all know where most of that income is really from!?
It excludes sponsors
Stop with that expired oil money crap, City is a lot more successful these 7 years than their entire history, their fanbase globally is improving because of the attractive football they are playing, and now consistently breaking the QF of UCL. It is only logical all of their income streams grow exponentially, they are a promising project that any business entities would sponsor on and any unbiased football fan would watch on. Not to mention they rake a good sum of prize money every year now
say what you want but the owners have made brilliant investment and now they can sustain themselves with their prolong success
lets see how much man city wins this year...
K4 Josiah please never say domestic treble... 🤣
Ole’s at the wheel, tell me how good does it feel?
Feels Great! Also thanks for the win against Man City! Let's mourn for the city of Manchester... Has been a tough/hard week... 😂
MKAY Thanks for Subscribing Have a nice day! I’m assuming you’re a scouse, I’m not a manc so happy for you lol, win the league lad
how shit does it feel?*
FRED COST HOW MUCH!?!?
**spraying coffee and marmite toast all over my monitor**
I'm thinking, as a Crystal Palace supporter.. Are they interested in Benteke? For.. £100m? With extras?
Please mate. Please!
He'll even drive the bus and scrub the boots!
Honestly Benteke would do better then Rashford.
@@rorrt That is the game today though? Fred is a full international and is a good player. His price is obviously inflated to match and in some ways exceed the market today. Lets not forget that Liverpool paid nearly 40 for Andy Carroll and Chelsea paid 50 for Torres. It happens.
does he come with fries?
Liverpool paid 35 million for Carroll but only because they got 50 million for Torres. They sold Benayoun for 6 million, and used the rest to buy Suarez for 21 million. Let's be honest, they got shafted with Carroll but it was offset by success of Suarez.
Manchester United should not be in the position they are in. It should be impossible to be in the position they are in. The financial advantages they - and every other top European team - now have should mean that the gap between them and 90% of the other teams in the league is unbridgeable. Yet Woodward has managed to do the impossible - take this indestructible brand and run it into the ground over six years of mismanagement so terrible it's virtually unprecedented in the history of modern football. And the fact that the Glazers haven't fired him or installed a sporting director tells you everything you need to know about their own competence.
geraldkrasnerable Woodward must be his middle name and Glazer must be his last, he must be a relative for them to go this long without firing him
All that's is important right now is to play the game & business will come as bonus
Players don't wanna play for united. I mean it's one of the biggest clubs with rich history. I don't wanna talk about what's going on with united but they really need to fix everything from ground to the top.
I’d love to see premier league teams implement a 50+1 rule like German football teams.
I would like to see that as well but clubs like Chelsea, Man City and Wolves could be the main blockade for it to happen.
chumpo ah
German football teams have a law where the fans must own 51% of club shares (a majority), so that they have the power to veto anything their owner does.
It keeps ticket prices very low, teams need less sponsorship, keeps the club firmly connected with its fans, and stops a rogue owner (Glazers) from doing what they want.
They can also decide that, if their owner is not doing a good enough job (Glazers again) to vote them out of power. Man Utd could kick out Ed Woodward and the Glazers straight away under a 50+1 rule.
Corbyn was talking about introducing a system like it which is good.
NaN
Very true
That would ruin the EPL.
Izoto
It seems to work well for the Bundesliga
Honestly. Some of the money spent looked like decent buys/loans Di Maria, Falco, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Miki. Even Pogba, Sanchez, Martial on paper looks like great buys. But it's all either not worked, or just fallen apart. Honestly I feel Man Utd need a whole refresh. May take a moment of not having European football to get right. The squad needs a major lift. Some good youth that actually want to succeed and play for the shirt. Even if it means not buying these 'global superstars' as it seems that's failed time after time. Because otherwise. I don't see Man utd going any where any time soon.
It's pains me to watch this so much but I still do...don't know why !!
What's painful about it? The video is nonsense.
It’s July 2020, things are finally looking up for united
Love the vids keep it up!
the golden rule in any show business... NEVER ANTAGONIZE YOUR FANS.
Amazing video as always. But Lukaku's agent isn't Raiola anymore.
I agree with everything in this video. Except the comparisson between how much Sir Fergusson spent against Ole or Mourinho since the market has become really inflated and players like Fred wouldn't go for around 53mil back then. Of course I still believe they paid a huge amount for Fred but as an Internacional fan I know he can be good and I'm kind of sad that most United fans blame him for most of their issues.
Tifo for DOF🙏🏼
Being a United fan I am happy the revenues have reduced, finally some action will be taken.
just remember mourinho came second with this squad
Probably the best content on RUclips hands down.
Ed Woodward is so far from the United ideals, it's unnerving
I’m a Celtic fan, I don’t love not hate Man Utd! I don’t mind how they do, Jamie redknapp made a good point a few days ago stating he can see them becoming Liverpool and 30 years without a league win. That’s scary!
I am really happy to witness Man Utd this way.
This is something thats always on my mind, no doubt in the near future it will for sure, if only by a large margin! Thanks for the video Tifo
All man utd have to do is getting new board
And a director of football
All at the mercy of glazers
and 3-4 new players
New manager, board, team
@@reubencasa-grande8659 basically everything 😂
Gracias Boys, The Newcastle defeat was hard to take, but this video is very helpful
Its a ponzi scheme.
Cookie is crumbling now😊
Looking at the players and the team we have now, and then seeing the statistics on the increased wages... it's just disgraceful!
We are too big to fail .. we will keep supporting MU with everything until we die ... it's in our veins trophies isn't everything .. we have a great history
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Black 494 all your Years of mocking Liverpool are biting you in The arse
No matter what even if I stay trophy-less all my life that's the price of love to the clup ..
we will support if a financial crisis happen .. buying t shirts and attending all games if possible ..
one day will comeback .. I'll wait until the day I die .. even without trophies
True Red ❤️
I’d love to see more comparisons to other clubs in relation to finance increase/decrease in areas. Aswell as that whether or not club costs are going up in general so not just a Man U thing. good vid tho
I haven't seen a Man U top in LA since 2016
They really haven't realised how fickle football fans are when it comes to foreign teams. There are probably 100,000 Man City fans in Shanghai alone, how many of them were Man Utd fans 8 years ago?
Of course there are exceptions who go hardcore, I met a Leeds Utd fan in Thailand in 2010, when they were a League 1 side. But it's not the diehards who make you the money, it's the noodle sponsors and the people who watch the occasional game in the bar and buy a shirt for themselves, and one for each sobrin@ for their birthday.
When I was in Munich, Bayern played Bundesliga game against Hertha and a lot of people were in Bayern or Hertha kits. There was group of chinese tourists which entered in Bayern store and they all bought Bayern kits. By looking at them, maybe 5 people in that group would know to name 3 Bayern players.
@Ayy lmao Not a criticism, just an observation. It's why I think 2 or 3 seasons more of mediocrity will be exceptionally damaging for Man Utd.
G Yorkshire I live in Shanghai are there’s still a lot more united shirts you see than City, a hell of a lot more, or any other English club. However, how long this will last will of course depend on their success. I have no doubt things will change soon if United continue their sorry slide.
@The fastest milkman in the West Yep, that's the main demographic of Los Angeles, Crips make up 49% of the population, Bloods 37% and the remainder is a mishmash of wools (bad), wools (good) and a small Jewish population (predominantly Ashkenazi and Mizrahi).
Finally something to knock the heads of this club back to their senses
Mid table is were man Utd belongs
I said to a UTD fan when Alex left "welcome to the premier league". Sure they might get a manager that might win them a cup or two over a couple of seasons. But a few losses? They will be sacked. I say this to UTD fans. There will never be another Alex. He was once in a lifetime manager.
People were laughing at me when I said Fellaini was making them better
As United fan I hope it will so maybe Glazers would sell club to someone else. This has to be worst Man United team in history, no passion, no skill, no creativity, no one knows to score a goal. My local team would beat Man United atm.
It really is astonishing how poorly run Manchester United are, the prospect for them to be the best club in the world is there, with the structure, history and reputaion there success post Ferguson was all there. Woodward has done exceptionally well in building Manchester United's financial dominance, but he's clearly not the right man to lead the footballing operations, to think he made such an idiotic comment as that just epitomizes his lack of knowledge in sports management.
It's been clear for a while they need a Director of Footballing operations, and they've clearly been looking but they have so far not found a suitable candidate. They need to find the right man for the job as this person can make or break United. Clearly they need someone soon. My issue with them for a while has been there insistence on brining in a former player who has minimal experience, though they insist this former player has the clubs ideals in mind, they don't possess the knowledge as some do. Only Edwin Van De Sar can be considered good enough as a former player to lead the clubs vision, but reports say he doesn't want the job.
They need to get someone and the right man soon, this club has lacked a clear vision for a long time, the chopping and changing has left the club with a slew of players who call suit different systems and are all on mixed lengths of contracts. The managers brought in all have had different styles and with that we've seen the club play in all sorts of ways, with that the identity of the club has remained unclear and that causes further confusion throughout the club.
To fix all these issues they need a Dan Ashworth, Stuart Webber, or a Luis Campos, these guys all have done exceptionally well in creating sustainable clubs. All of these guys have bought bargain players that turned into gold or found young prospects that are currently some of the most interesting in the world, on top of that they have hired managers who fit these signings and the clubs style, all of these clubs have the structure to thrive and have done so with constant improvement. I recommend the Manchester United Board start really looking for this kind of staff member, they've half-assed it so far and its clear they need to give this there all, this will be the most important signing in the clubs recent history.
The shame is change is unlikely to occur until the finance suffer, and that is unlikely to happen soon with football is the biggest cash cow of all sports in the world, a mediocre Premier league team can easily have yearly earnings of billions, let alone a club such as United.
what the Glazer and Woodward miss is that reputation takes time to build and destroy, and currently Man United is slowly sliding out of football fans interest, but when it becomes too late, it will take years to restore United to it's full glory.
we need many changes before we can climb back up, we need a passionate management, talented coach and loyal footballers who value football more than changing their hair style week in week out. unfortunately none of these are likely to happen anytime soon or at all.
@@timmyfung01 Well, football isn't really the biggest cash cow in the world, the amount of investment and risk makes it not really as financially viable as a NBA or NFL, I think its financially on par with MLB currently. The rewards are there, but the NBA and NFL are bigger cash cows as the franchise makes these sports financially more capable. Even if it doesn't reach the same volume of audience its consistency makes it viable.
If this form would make the Glazers let go of the club, then I hope we can get through this rough patch ASAP and go through a Renaissance. It's been too long, the passion for the club and the fighting spirit, I miss all of that. We're slowly fading away and soon we'll become a moderate club at most. Please don't let that happen, please...
i see United doing a Leeds this season....old trafford is falling down
ISAAC Lalnunzira thanks to Glaziers 😒
The transfer policy is quite simple: Continue to spend bigger than the competitors on main transfer targets. Only difference so far being that ManU's standing and potential swayed players in favor of ManU either way - that is now gone. They now spend bigger than competitors on 1B or even second shelf-options
tl;dr: Maybe
this is one of the videos i was actually waiting for. one of the best football channels on RUclips
Their piss poor performance is definitely impacting my finances when it comes to the godt damn bookies🤬
Never bet on your own team mate
@@lukepowell1988 I keep telling myself that but I never learn
Tifo football you should make video about tactical problems instead of these financial problems
It’s over boys time to pack up 😭
As we ALL know, its performance on the pitch that comes first before anything else. You can't expect external brands to meet with clubs who are relegation-threatened, it doesn't work.
Famous last words Mr Woodward... don't be like the guy who said the titanic wouldn't sink
It's sad times as a united fan watching are club crumble before are eyes
Can we get a detailed finance for Manchester City please 🙏
this
Rashford was handed a 200k/week salary before the summer ended and was going to be the main striker this season because Ole and the gang like Neville showed no love to Lukaku. Dont blame Ed on not signing a striker. Rashford was going to be our no1. However, Ole quickly and rightly so along with other pundits realized that Rashford is not a no. 9 and will never be a 20+ goal striker so therefore he pushed Mason Greenwood on us saying he is a better finished. It nuts!
Not if they’re paying 50 mil for Fred... 😂
That was a killer blow eh which I think some people also put most of it in their pockets Then came sanchez and so on Do you really think that the special one would do those deals if the cash was his?
In all honesty
If finishing 12th and in around that area means woodward and the glazers leave
Ill chop my hand of for that
Man U and no money is a different club then and not them
What Ed Woodward has essentially done was cashing in on the goodwill of the MU brand towards sponsors. At the meanwhile sponsors pour in money based on the assumption that MU's brand will at the very least remain status quo. However with the lack of trophies and 'soul', now sponsors won't renew and it will be felt really badly when long term sponsors decided to either pull out or renegotiate at a much lower sponsorship amount during the end of sponsorship term
Wish Utd get relegated
hmmer It would never happened! They have struggled recently. But not that badly! It would be a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge shock to see Manchester United be relegated!
Considering their stock price has done nothing but drop here in the states I'd say you're right.
United is finished
Keep up the good work guys. Love the fact that the video talks financial side of the club.
is ole secretly sabotage united so the glazer will leave?
Agent sent in by Ferguson!
No, he is just bad
Yes! He'll buy the club after Glazers leave and rename it Solskjaer United. Everyone in the team will have to pray before every training to Ole Statue.
Blame the Board and Woodward first and foremost, they are the root of the problem.
Amen to that brotha!!
To be fair they don’t have that oil money that City has
People always complain about City's oil money, saying they only win because they spend big. In the same 2013 - 2019 period, Man City spent around 1.1 billion, and Man Utd spent around 956 million. In that time period, Man City moved from 2nd to 1st, and Man Utd from 1st to 6th. If money made everyone instantly better, Man City would probably still be first, but Utd would be right behind. But that's clearly not the case. Yes, money makes you better, but to be the best you have to spend it wisely. Man City and Man Utd have spent almost the same amount of money. Any differences between the quality of the teams doesn't come down to 'oil money', it's just about making smarter decisions overall.
Daniel Meech nah
@@danielmeech2418 well there's a huge difference because Manchester united worked their ass off to reach that status, they won titles got tv sponsors, got history and legends and made that money, the owners came on because they're a big team cause they win titles, man city a league 1 standard team at that time suddenly got a madness boost with billions of money, no history, no big name suddenly getting billions of pounds, any club would be good with that amount of money even Colchester united would be champions league finalists with that money but would you say that is fair to other clubs like aston vila, Westham, leeds united? Who actually have history but not the money anymore.
JN11 there is difference, if I am given resources who am I not to use them. If a runner was given all the training facilities for the olympics and another runner worked his ass off in a farm and the gym guy wins then the gym guys IS the better athlete no matter the means they are still powerful in the now and that’s the reality of City
@@user-bo6yl5ni6s I never said Man City didn't suddenly get a lot of money. They did suddenly get a lot of money. My point was just that the two clubs have spent just about as much money as each other in last few years, but Man City is clearly the better team. It is wrong and incorrect to say Man City are the better team just because of their money. Clearly, they have made smarter decisions with that money and that's why they're ahead.
It definitely is, we made a tactical analysis on our channel recently for their game against Arsenal and they were poor. Need improvement
I thought porn wasn't allowed on RUclips
The biggest mistake from Man Utd is selling Lukaku without getting a experienced Center forward. Rashford is good but he def not a Center forward. The major role of a Center forward is knowing how to hold up the play and create space for teammates. Rashford is known for his pace and sudden penetration. He needs time to adapt his new role.
Team depending on the U18 and we were still wasting time to sign a couple of players....Instead they sold Lukaku Herrera and more without replacing them. How could this team get forward?
Ultimate success on the pitch will always impact overall financial success.
Clubs like Barca and Real don't attract the best sponsors because of the sunny weather. It's the success on the pitch.
I've been a United fan since I discovered English football about 25 years ago. But the bottom line with me is akin to Dan Topping's dismantlement of the Yankee dynasty in the early 60's. IF the owners don't care about the team, WHY should I?
It really does. They got successful because they played well and won things. You play shit, slowly your fan base starts decreasing. Less fans= Less Revenue (Less merchandise purchase, less Membership tickets, subscriptions etc). Plus it dilutes the brands of your players. There's a reason why Mo Salah and Van Dyjk are so famous. Not only are they great footballers but they are also playing in a team that plays attractive football and wins titles.
Best videos on the internet. Keep it up lads
I am going in exile from the premier league until the january transfer window. I don't want the pain of seeing man united's results but I just can't leave my beloved club for another team
