A new UWS podcast is out for those interested. Andy Mitten talks a bit about the takeover and how it’s going, also where we’re at on the transfer front.
To summarise, the sale is being dragged out because the creeps are trying to extract as much value as possible. Everyone involved is frustrated with the process but the people at the club are insisting it’s business as usual in regards to operations.
Regarding transfers, United stance is there is money to spend but they don’t want to blow their budget as soon as the window opens in case better players come available later in the window. The phrase used was ‘the disco has just started, we don’t want to be spent by 9pm when the night is just getting started’.
