Yes. Really. Without doubt. Every owner know what he can do and where. United is too big for any owner to try to do FM stuff.
Psg, lets be realistic, is perfect to play real life FM. And you perfectly know that.

Have you seen United over the past decade? At numerous times we've descended into chaos, players running the asylum basically, managers with little to no control.

Just because we now have a fantastic manager with the strength of mind to rise above the shitshow doesn't negate any of the past 10 years.

The comparison between us and PSG is perfect, we'd have dominated the French League run as we have been while PSG would have been the banter club in England.

Surely people are bored of that?
 
This whole argument about the way Qatar runs their clubs in inane. It makes the wrong assumption that PSG are a poorly run club - which isn't true.

They've only underperformed in Europe, but the CL is hard to win - which is why we've only got 3 of them in the first place. Juventus had a 10 year period of utmost domestic domination and didn't manage 1. Nobodies says City are poorly run and they've got feck all to show for it as well.
 
How exactly? They go for the best personal in business. In PSG they did hired best DoF and best managers. Trophies wise, they failed only to win CL. Wow, you put it like it is easy to win CL. Like there are no other giants in that competition who also spend money, have world class players and managers.

Haha, like feck they did. Leonardo?
Blanc? Poch? Emery?

They spend 6 times more on wages to the second placed club in France:

PSG average annual salary = 380 million
Marseille average annual player salary = 64 million

:lol:

That’s not getting value for your money, that’s a terrible way to run a football club. Spending for the sake of spending, with no long term plan for the club and many signings done for visuals rather than team need (Messi, Ramos etc).
 
Compare PSG to City.

PSG are run closer to the way the Glazers run United. Look at how people at various levels act, from the players on the pitch to the people in the board rooms.

A complete lack of professionalism, planning and importantly, effort.

City* meanwhile have become the standard by which other clubs now measure themselves. Nobody, not a single club looks at PSG and goes "that's the model we want to emulate"

*Also cheats, which shouldn't be forgotten.
So, why do you think that this Qatari owner will act the same as PSG owner? Because all Qatari are the same?

The difference in wages is probably just from Messi and Mbappe to be fair :lol:
 
Is this the new Bernabeu with old Trafford stuck inside?

Underperformed in Europe is also a stretch. PSG mainly lost to the eventual winner of the CL while never being the club with the best squad. People are just being extremely weird on this one but then again if you listen to the caf everyone is poorly run, the same was said about Real Madrid, it's now said about Bayern.

Hindsight at maximum. Poch was highly rated back. Emery is a very good manager to. They hired Ancelotti who is one of the best in history.

Nobody says they're poorly run because they haven't won a CL. They're poorly run because they are a complete shambles from top to bottom.

They basically throw money at everything. City on the other hand had the good sense to hire competent people.

As I said above, no club looks at PSG and thinks that's the model to emulate. That's all we need to know on the matter.

They did. They changed their business model a few years back to be more sustainable.

Whether that was because Qatar had had their use out of them who knows...
 
Was this new, better PSG founded before or after they undermined every future manager by giving unprecedented influence to a player?

That's a strange take. PSG didn't start by throwing money at everything and it's not even the overarching plan that they followed. Initially PSG focused on signing a few top level veteran players for relatively cheap, they added to it young promising players. Later around 2017 with the arrival of Antero Henrique, PSG ended up spending money in a strange way while building an unbalanced and shallow team, that strategy from Antero Enrique has had long term consequences because due to FFP the club had to sell a bunch of young players quickly.

The reality of PSG is that the model that some of you imagine doesn't exist, PSG isn't defined by one model. What people seem to believe is a mode, is actually a mistake made by a highly regarded DOF who was like Monchi seen as a great candidate but failed outside of Porto.

Which player are you talking about?
 
Aye, 163 million annual wages for the three “free transfers”.

“Sustainable”.

Absolute shambles of a club, complete circus but hey they win the French league spending 7 times more in wages than their nearest rival. Bravo.
I said “more sustainable”

They have moved more away from their previous extravagant purchases. Hiring Campos etc
 
Are we seeing caf defend and call PSG sustainable just to justify becoming Qatar's bitch? That's a new low.
 
That's a strange take. PSG didn't start by throwing money at everything and it's not even the overarching plan that they followed.

394 m in their first three seasons in Ligue 1 tells a different story. And that’s without even getting into the wages for Pastore, Silva, Zlatan, Moura, Cavani.

All they ever did was throw much much more money than every other club in Ligue 1, and if anything it just sped up year on year, with the ridiculous Neymar, Mbappe year.
All that up until they “eased” off and starting paying Messi, Ramos & Mbappe 163m /year in wages instead.

They were spending 100+ million euros a season on transfers from day one.

God knows how much on wages and signing on fees. And whatever else was being paid off the books as well.

Funnily enough, as far as transfers are concerned, they're actually more reserved now than they were a decade ago. Obviously we don't just take transfers into account so we know they are still an absolute farce.
 
Who cares about their purchases when they sums the size of many top clubs transfer budgets on 3 players wages per season man?
I'm not defending that. Simply stated that they have moved to be more sustainable, which they have. They have gotten rid of a lot of overpaid squad players in recent years (Draxler, Sarabia, Gueye, Icardi, Kehrer, Rafinha, Diallo, Paredes)

We're also starting to see more youth players integrated into the XI in the most recent season (Gharbi, Bitshiabu, Zaire-Emery). Something they failed a bit at previously letting the likes of Moussa Diaby, Coman, Nkunku, Simons all go for nothing or pretty low fees.
