100M is a lot. Maybe we should give 50M back to Woodward and the Glazers.
100m budget for 2019 Summer window

Im no ordinary can of pissWow, you are so wise Roy
Fine with this. Rather we don't buy average players when the market is pretty poor. AWB is a top signing, looking forward to what James can do.
Have to do everything to get Sancho next season and look at some CB prospects i.e. Konate.

Its going to be bullshit until we spend around 100 million.
Just like people didn’t believe that we wouldn’t be appointing DoF. Again.

Or this is a deliberate false news leak by genius Ed, so that we don’t get shafted in negotiations ? Clutching straws ?
If it’s genuine that they’ve only given him £100M (only!) when it’s clear the rebuild is going to cost at least 3 times that then it gives a clear picture that they have a lack of faith in Ole.
100 Million pound budget would have been more than sufficient just a few seasons back. Transfer fees, salaries, and agent fees are seriously getting prohibitive. Something will have to give soon.
If this is true, it is absurd.
The consequences of missing out on CL football. Or did people really think we have a bottomless warchest all the time
Why give someone a 3-year contract if you have no faith in his abilities?
If we flog Lukaku and Pogba, we wont even be spending that. That'd be £300+ million we'd be using in this window, if we start selling players who want to leave, and we aint spending 300-odd million.
I doubt it. What's the use of those 150m a season sponsor ships when you have less than that to spend.
There is a bottomless warchest. They just arent going to let us spend it, because they bought the club to pad out their own shit business practices. The yearly revenue Man United generates should be able to build a side that could bury every club in Europe. That isnt even up for debate. Can you imagine any other club finishing in the position we have for the last 6 years and still bring in the money this club does? But we dont spend the money we generate. And havent done ever under this lot. The writing was on the wall when we sold Cristiano Ronaldo for a record fee and the Glazers went "we'll have that, thanks."
Lack of faith? Or the owners want the money to be diverted towards interest payments. Lack of champions league revenue may also force some of cuts in transfer spending as always.
United are in debt.
The club can only spend what has been agreed with the bank. The only option remaining for the club is to raise money through sales or find some unpolished gems on the cheap.

Is this the reason we have adopted brexit strategy, signed James and are looking at Longstaff?
James £18m
AWB £55m
Longstaff 27m
That’s £100m, so we would be done unless we sell DDG, Pogba and/or Lukaku.

at the start of the week we were going to Spend 60 m on AWB and 80m on maguire where I went to school that's more than 100m . Everyday is a rollercoaster .Because the sponsorship money isnt going into the club. It goes in someone elses pocket. We're not a football club anymore. Its been on the cards for decades sadly, but Fergie fought off the likes of Edwards and the Glazers, who were desperate to turn us into a giant Disney Land (apologies for using Klopp's line, but its relevant.) Ferguson was the base of the trandition of this club, and its slowly dying off.
This
They really do not care about how well we do at football
There is no valid argument against this, only people facilitating their greed
Not sure why so many fans think United have the money of PSG and City and can spend freely without a) selling players and b) qualifying for CL football. Over the past 4-5 years United have generated less in player sales that City. Let that sink in before you think 100m is too little.
Transfers don't work that way. Purchases are paid in tranches over a few years.
Looks that way, around 50% revenue goes into salaries, part of it glazer children take their shares, then towards interest payments and then what's left is transfer funds.
I know this is hyperbole but it's not even remotely true.
Neither is this.
Would they have given him the same contract at the end of the season?
I would hope those running the club are not as fickle as us fans who think bad results over a short period has no coaching abilities and lose faith.
Right now it’s just another paper/twitter story which some are as taking as gospel. While I’m not going to riot just yet, my gut feeling is this is probably true. I’m thinking this is just the net spend figure, because with player sales we’ll technically spend over 200 million.
Guys,100 million isn't that bad.
Could be worse,like Arsenal worse.

That prediction thread will make hilarious reading come August
Worth noting the source is ESPN - who with Miguel Delaney genuinely seem to have some perverse love of sticking it United.
Which is weird cause a few years back he seemed reasonable to United. Now he comes across as a vindictive little c.

My point is one minute we are linked with 100s of millions worth of transfers the next we are broke both are BS
Wouldn't entirely shock me if it's true.
Woodward/Glazers seem to only care about top 4.
Woodward/Glazers seem to only care about top 4.
If its true then Ole is being set up to fail. £100 million isnt going to take us from 6th into the top 4 when the teams around us are also spending
I think top 4 would be a amazing achievement next season,to be fair.
There may be some truth to it, but I think the news is more directed at the clubs we are trying to negotiate with. If we really did have a fixed budget then why would we be going after AWB for 50M+ when we could get Max Aarons for half that price.
I’ve been saying this for a while, it’s obvious we don’t have a huge budget.
We’ll sign Wan-Bissaka and James and possibly one midfielder. Anything beyond that will depend on player sales.

It's very possible that united only has 100m to spend on players. Now this could mean bar any player sales united starts out at 100m. That's alot of money. We know that united is going to be selling some players, so this figure could raise to North of 100m but Ole has up to a 100m to spend if no player sales are made.
Now, United is rich yes but United revenue and profits are two different things. United brings in record revenues but the profits were down in 2018 from 88 to 44 and net debt rose as well. When you take into consideration that a transfer fee is what's paid to the club but you also have agent fees, bonuses and most of all wages. All of this is taken into consideration. So most of uniteds money is going into debt repayments and wages, same as Madrid.
Now some contracts are paid out over the term of the contracts, these are installments now not every club will accept an Installment payment some clubs decide that they want the fee upfront (Barca with PSG, Marina with Hazard's deal).
It's safe to say though, it's not the amount of money united has but how it's spent. United needs to focus on upcoming talent and look to build a squad get rid of the egos and start from the beginning.

If it's true then it explains a lot. Dragging our heels last summer, Jose's mood and seemingly wanting out.
In a couple of years, once the hope and expectation wears off, we'll be looking back on our Europa League win under Jose and our second place finish as successful seasons.

If an ordinary football fans like us can see how inept are the following players, why not a top club like UTD cant see through this?
Young,Darmian,Jones,Rojo,Baily,Lingard,Matic,Fred,Perrera,Alexis
10 players listed above couldn't help us to win a single game on their own last season when we really needed some quality, so what we can achieve next season by keeping these players? Why managers cast such a blind spot on these players? That is the main difference between us and progressing clubs like Madrid/Barca/City.
On top of these we have Lukaku and Rashford. Glad Lukaku is joining Inter but I still feel Rashford doesnt have what it takes to become a great striker at bigger clubs. How many times he saved us last season? so why Ole speaks so highly about RASHY?? Doesnt he(ole) aware that he cant take UTD back to its best if he has strikers like Rashy at his disposal?
How can anyone expect us to finish in top4 last year or next year if we have more than 70% utter dross at this club?
Agreed that we made some bad decisions in last few years transfer market and negotiating contracts like Jones on 120K a week..I dont think anyone in right frame of mind would give Jones that kind of huge contract for 5 years as if someone else was trying snatch him away from us, So why not they accept their mistakes and rectify it??
Everyone clearly know we need 6-8 players at least to step up our level so why the board act so laid back? where is that eagerness? How long we take to sign a new player? How long we need to off load a player? why dont we recruit PAYG transfer consultants and finish off the deals if our CEO is so busy handling AWB transfer for last 6 weeks and dont like to appoint a Director of football?
We might get hit with few extra millions to reset this team so why not accept that and act in the market rather becoming a laughing stock? Dont the board feel ashamed of seeing UTD in such a worst situation?
If you guys say signing 6-8 players is like playing fantasy football then please do not frekk1ng dare to complain about these players, performance or club but get use to the mediocre results in coming years.
It's like racing in a ford car but feeling sad about not winning against Ferrari's.

With 350m to spend you think we would be fighting relegation???
How many times have we spent more than 100m net in one window? Can’t be more than a couple of times?
Given we’re fannying about so much it seems quite plausible. If we had a bigger budget we’d have signed a few by now like Madrid.
