No they are losing money.
Clubs had to refund ticket / season ticket money - Loss
Manutd still pay all their staff, both non matchday and matchday - Loss
It's impossible to know, this is the point.
If we had a full lockdown again sport would get cancelled. it won't continue if everybody is told to Isolate again, footballers aren't immune.
This is the risk Dortmund take.
Wow. I have no words.
Even Trump is a bit more realistic than this and he has an election to lose on November.
I want to comment about Hans Joachim Watzke and negotiations in general. (I made a similar comments when we bought Mkhitaryan)
Watzke is doing the same mistakes all over again.
He seems to never learn. First he put his reputation as a Westphalian on the line. Then he starts to criticize ex players who works as pundits. Finally he back track and start to use excuses why his club is short of cash. (All clubs struggle in a Pandemic, nothing new, that why selling Sancho is one option if Borussia D needs fresh cash)
This is my experience regarding negotiations.
If you’re in a good position you don’t have to talk more then necessary, let the silence do the job for you. Don’t insult people inside or outside the negotiation. Don’t assume things without knowledge. Never say something is set in stone. The world spin around, things can change. Let one person be the focal point of the negotiation. The more people who talks the more misunderstandings.
Another strategy is to be humble. Talk about each other and the deal with respect. Accepts that there is two ways to see the situation. Start as friends and end as good friends. Maybe you will do business again together.

Even if we sign him now, what is the point paying his wages and their been close to no one in training at Carrington? He's better off staying with BVB for the moment, training and getting match fitness.
Next step, Sancho needs to post a picture of him in plane, contemplating (like VvD did).
Having a vaccine is a start, but it's not the end all be all. The flu is a coronavirus and there are multiple strains of said flu and only a handful of flu vaccines. People still get the flu even with a vaccine. There's zero guarantee if a Covid vaccine with allow life to go back to normal and sporting attendance to go back to normal after people get a vaccine.
ALL clubs have had to readjust their annual and quarterly budgets, no matter the sport, no matter the club status. There's always one constant cash flow at football clubs...and that's expenses. Operational costs, monthly/annual overhead, and staff/player wages. TV rights and money are being challenged now more than ever. These TV companies who are paying these rights fees are not able to make movies, TV shows, programming, etc. that generate cash for them to pay the rights fees! Brands aren't able to advertising their products on TV during the match when people don't have enough stable income to buy said products! It's a vicious cycle that does not exempt many people, industries, or companies!
Obviously there are fixed costs that aren't covered right now. This doesn't mean that the club is actually losing money after all. As long as you make a profit at the end of the year, this is more like a break for you and the moment the cash flows in again, you're where you were before the pandemic. The club isn't losing substamce, so to speak.
Actually, I think player contracts running out and deprevations of intangible assets are the biggest risk.
I mean, even if the market doesn't recover, Sancho will probably be worth the same as he's now. So they can as well profit from him for another season. You guys want this decision to be risky.
I guess in these kind of high stakes poker games no-one really knows anything except Ed and his German counterpart.
You think I want what to be that way? Revenue sources being cut dry??? Someone like Liverpool could just sit on their money and not make any big transfer for a year, sell Salah, and then buy Sancho. Could be possible, but then, their revenue is still short due to Covid and they have to take on probably higher wages than Salah and then lose out on the transfer costs.
Cause for a semi?
The Glazers are only semi-aware that the people in the red and white outfits running around on TV have any connection to the amount of money they are making. They might even be right.
I'm sure some know more than others. I believe the reputable reported info is most likely the case too - that we have a problem in agreeing on the structure of the add ons.
Our profit before tax was £27.5m in 18/19, a season where we had CL income. Take off even half the match day income and it becomes a heavy loss. There's more to it than that obviously but most top clubs will be losing money.
Dortmund for comparison:
This is all part of Dortmunds plan I think. Declare Sancho is staying and its set in stone, deal is dead as far as they're concerned etc. United cave and offer a good deal that Dortmund like. They accept and say that Sancho is homesick and would like to leave the club, so they're granting him his wish.
Player leaves, club can say they did all they could to keep him but he forced their hand etc. Just because he doesnt hand in a transfer request doesnt mean that hes not told them of his desire to leave if the chance arises. In my opinion its all negotiation tactics and power play

I prefer the professional wrestler approach to negotiations, myself. I wish Ed would give a television interview in which he rips his shirt off and threatens to "break" Watzke.
“Is this Fabrizio reliable, Jadon?”
If we don't sign Sancho, we still have Greenwood to be our main RW and he's producing and performing there currently. We won't be in a disaster that's I'm sure about.
No it's not. It's an influenza virus - hence the name.
I'm not worried about Greenwood, he's class. But if one of our front three gets injured we are absolutely fecked, not to mention we already don't have any attackers who can change the game off the bench or fill in at a high level when Rashford/Martial/Greenwood need a rest. That's why signing Sancho is so important, aside from the obvious signing of one of the best talents in the world with incredible productivity, it gives us much more flexibility. Our current setup is a good guarantee of running that front three into the ground by making them start every game, Ole's use of our backups since the restart confirms how little trust he has in them.
“Is this Fabrizio reliable, Jadon?”
He wears a mask? I thought he was a right winger?
You could argue we’ve had great luck, because none of the other big clubs are in a position to sign him. Bar Chelsea perhaps, but they’re going in another direction with Timo and Kai.
I think if we don't sign Sancho we'll move on and buy a cheap bench option like Coman while focusing on Greenwood as a starter at the end.
Still 2 months left in this window so too early to start panicking about a similar 2018 window.
Might have to reevaluate that. No sure Coman would agree, nor Bayern for that matter.
Haha I can't believe Watzke felt the need to name-drop Scholes and Hargreaves. What a clown. If the deal is truly dead, why is he still talking about it?
He absolute should do that.
I looked up Manchester United definition in the dictionary, and Transfer saga came up..
Ooof ..
Highly underrated joke right here.
Not necessarily Coman but I believe it'll be just any bench option that's all. He's just the first name who jumped to my mind.
On
To be fair there is the small matter of a global pandemic which means literally no fans can enter stadiums and pay money right now.

To the COVID thread !
No idea. If it was truly dead you'd think they'd give their statement and then move on to focus on other things right? Instead they keep on talking, and talking and talking.
Seems bizarre to me. Thought they wanted to put a line under it.
People need to get a grip. It’s going to be a long and frustrating window. Buying clubs are right to keep their powder dry at this point.
Maybe I sound like a blind supporter but I do trust Ole. Till now he has us very good players (barring James maybe) who have been great assets for the team, combined with good attitude.
I think we can do away with the need for a RW for another season if we don't get a Sacho-like player.. Greenwood is there and if we get another AM we could even play Bruno out on the wings. Especially if we invest in a good full back to provide the width.
Clearly not. this is LibCafe
We simply can't. Have you seen how dead the team looks? Next season is going to be an insane slog, we have to reinforce the team in that position, it's not a maybe its a must.
