I am expecting a Bosman type appeal from a player at some point.
Your middle one is off the market buddyAdding another year to the same contract, so whatever his buy out was in his original contract would have remained.
When is the open top bus trophy parade?

You're mistaking them for liverpool.
The fact that this news has been out for hours and we still haven't signed a top class striker is a bit of a piss take. No ambition.
This news deserves its own chant
"PSR! PSR! We're the famous Man United and we've passed our PSR!"

So if one owner puts £5 billion into a football club for signings - and that club buys 20 of the best players in the world at £100-200 million a player- would you still feel the same way ? Because that is what would happen - sooner or later.
To the tune of Here we go...PSR,.....PSR.......PSR, PSR, PSRRRRRR
Yay
Ah, my bad.
Exactly. It’s not perfect but it offers some protection
£250-300m? How do you figure that one out?
How many employees do you think we have?Our twist on the Arsenal Top Four trophy.
Like a new signing.
Hooray. get the cheque book out.
It very much isn't just on them though, is it? The whole point is to prevent them destroying a whole.club that is profoundly meaningful for hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. If Ratcliffe and the Glazers obliterated our club to the point it can't carry on I, for one, would not be thinking "Oh well, good job this is all on them".
If you mean it's against football just being a competition of wealth, then yes - it is currently inhibiting the ability of the Saudi state to turn the league into a competition over who has the most wealth vs. other Middle East oil tyrannies. Maybe some people find this sad but I am not one of them.
It's very far from perfect but PSR does at least keep the spending in PL in touch with "performance" in some third order type way.
So how big will our summer warchest be then? 400m?
That's on the owners? The rules are there to protect the clubs from owners. You only need to watch the Swansea docuseries to see what a lift to a club can do for a community.
Would be much better if there was no such thing as owners.
Put it better than me.
Incoming article tomorrow in the Daily Mail saying we've been using Carrington for illegal cock fighting nights. Can't be knocking Arsenal out the cup, scoring at Anfield and passing PSR without something negative popping up. We're losing to Saints aren't we.
No it's actually on the clubs, that's how lots of clubs have nearly gone out of business and a few have.
That's literally the reason FFP/PSR exists.
And some fans were wondering why we fired the sporting director
We're about 2 months away from 'United only have £50m to spend before sales' headlines. Then proceeding to spend significantly more.
That's very unlikely. He got extended by 12 months and had secured those extra wages by contract.
No. You also could read this news as: United doesn't even have enough cash to break rules.
Such a moronic take. You do realise clubs are Limited companies? So when an owner spends a fortune, which they may not actually have, if it doesn’t work out the club is left with the debt and owner can just walk away.
That was the whole reason why PSR was introduced. And on the flip stop club likes City, Chelsea and Newcastle outspending everyone by a long distance.
The rules aren’t perfect but I’m glad they’re in place. It would be pointless watching the game whilst Newcastle won the quadruple every season.
Brilliant. I wish they'd made more.
I'm being facetious, we're as broke as the toothfairy in a retirement home.
Exactly this. Just looked at what happened to Leeds and Portsmouth in recent times. Most football clubs are already so badly financially mismanaged that if they were 'normal businesses', they would have gone to the wall years ago. If a sugar daddy is allowed to spend billions willy nilly on a pet project /ego trip and then they decide they're now bored and walk away, that club will probably disappear. It's happened, on a lesser scale, to plenty of lower league clubs.
But can we bring our own 50M toilet cleaner sponsor from Monaco, though?
Didn't City more or less already do this?
Nice for the club to have precision scheduled railroading
You’d be ok with Newcastle / City dominating for the foreseeable ?
Hopefully this quells this talk about selling Mainoo
This was for the 2023-2024 season.
"Manchester City and Manchester United both met the Premier League's financial guidelines for the 2023/24"
We need to worry about 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 (which will determine the spending in the summer)

The issue is 2024/25 and given our league position this year with no European football next year I’d also say 2025/26 will be rocky.
Typical United that now we have a top manager for once we are broke whereas we burned money before as if tuere is no tomorrow
