Why on earth would you pick two seasons like that? During the last 10 seasons United have a net spend 2-3x Chelsea's. United's wage bill is higher than Chelsea's by quite a margin.

Bet he does.
Our estimated transfer budget to stay compliant with FFP already takes amortisation into account, of course.
United spend a lot more on transfers than Chelsea.
I fully agree with that point. If we hire the right people we are more than capable of doing it, and we will. But that has nothing to do with Qatar. They cannot magically gift us a mega transfer pot, the rules are much stricter now and, as one of the biggest clubs in the world we will be under the utmost scrutiny. The main attraction of Qatar, from their supporters viewpoint as I see it, is the removal of debt and investment in the infrastructure. Those are the things the Glazer’s let us down badly on, and the only person offering to fix it is SJ. Those two things are important to me as well. With the right people the football side of things can be run very well without interference - but we desperately need investment in off the pitch areas.
Closing in on exclusivity guys, just one more token and you can join them in private.

Well as I've said a few times, we had the same stories last summer, 100m budget, other than that only from sales. We only sold pereria and spent 250m
Conversely if it drops to anywhere near $15 I’d say it’s likely a deal is done too.
No, we didn't. That budget estimation wasn't because of FFP constraints.
Then you have this guy, trying to act like Reuters' said it's a done deal just to try and save face after spending the last few days saying "nothing is close to being completed". I swear it seems like these journos spend more time trying to move goalposts to prove they're correct than actually being journalists. I can understand why they do it, though. Can't be easy working in an industry where reputation is paramount.
I get that with Qatar, they can feasibly react quickly as their bid is relatively uncomplicated. If the rumours of Ratcliffe's bid structure is true it's probably going to take him a while to be able to structure a new deal to respond with.
Perfect. A not serious club for not serious people.
However if they bring Ratfecker Sam along I'm on board. Bet he'd sort everything out.
A lot of that is top heavy though. 3/4 of their starters came on frees so got higher wages because of it. That’s why you quoted wages instead of transfer fees, let’s be honest.
They’re making a lot of sensible transfers these days to the point it looks as if they’ve given up on being the team in Europe. If everything posters said about Qatar were true they’d be going into financial overdrive to compete with other big clubs but they’re not.
It’s Vitinha, Nunes etc. in fact all of their big names have come over on frees over the last few seasons.
I was about to swing for you then I read your opening line and it turned into a loving embrace
Thanks Simon! I mean..Deary me
Edit I have a feeling a lot of these journos rushed in thinking it said they had exclusivity, it’s the only excuse I can give them
yep. not to forget anything in the middle.
That's the end of Sir Jim saying they are gentlemen.
That's without sales. Many reporters have said the budget could easily stretch to £200-250m with sales. With clearing the debt that frees up another £50m supposedly.

I wouldn't know about that but if you are looking to redecorate I hear they are very competitive.
Now I have seen it all we have Jacobs on the Utd Stand with Goldbridge and Keegan on Utd View with Flex to counter things
I don't know this takeover is a lot like when United bought Wan Bissaka.
The Glazers like Palace set their price and then just waited until Qatar met it. They've made 5 bids after all.
The company formation is probably the most obvious sign of the Qataris winning for me.
I'm not inclined to particularly admire SJR either, given his political philosophy and its concrete impact upon working-class people, but if that's true, absolute chutzpah. Who ae they to judge' anyone. What have these failscions ever accomplished in terms of launching and growing something? They can't even properly manage a global money-generating juggernaut, when all it took was employing proper decision-makers at an exec level, deferring short-term dividends and watering down their share interest slightly , as well as trusting management to competent people rather than micromanaging from a position of base, self-satisfied ignorance. They'd still be colossally rich upon selling out and we could have been run properly in the interim.
The lure of Qatar for most id say is just the prospect of infinite funds where they can do that and spend massive money every window with no risk of it ever actually hurting us. They see City and they assume just anybody with unlimited funds will eventually get there.
Reports suggest Qatar have paid about 5.5bn pounds and the asking price was 6bn pounds. There's nothing to suggest theyve paid that much
Ah, that explains the knob poking into my hip. I was worried for a moment.
The Glazers just need to pull their pants down and get it over with at this point, its getting boring
Problem for Jimmy is no matter what he does, SJ will just slightly improve his offer…
Only way SJR can win now is to let the Glazers keep their class B shares…
It’s just not worth it…and to be honest it’s for the best for him. Invest that money in to Nice and bring them into the CL.

No, he's saying the denial from the club was denying something that wasn't in the Reuters article. A "non-denial denial" is how he worded it in the podcast.
No he's saying what Reuters are reporting is true but what Reuters are reporting doesn't really mean much.
Reuters aren't saying Qatar have entered exclusive negotiations as many seem to think they are claiming.
Not at all
Agree.
Also Ratcliffe has mentioned that he will put the money into Nice if he doesn’t win so already planning ahead?
