Yeah it's hard to argue with that
Which club in the PL is better run than Manchester United?
- Thread starter Sir Erik ten Hag
- Start date

United is really branching out. Subversion from within! Or just bandwagon fans, have your pick.
I'm just kidding about now both of their profiles incorrectly stating that they support another club.
Adex is the best supporter our rivals could ask forI'm just kidding about now both of their profiles incorrectly stating that they support another club.
Every single one and I’m including Everton and Chelsea when I say that, the mismanagement of United has been going on for at the very least 12-13 years as with our income/revenue we should be only behind City at most but years of piss poor management have left us nearly a billion in debt and at best a top four club instead of a powerhouse.
You ruin your argument with this exaggeration. It's only 63%.
Long term, dynasties of success breed a loyal global fan base for at least a few generations (I.e. us under SAF) ,which is the best long financial strategy
No one will have a clue how every other club is run in the premier league.
Close thread.
publicly, but privately it’s a lot more. some of the sites most prominent posters, not to mention the majority of the site admins, private message me regularly, asking for advice on how to cope with the constant success and how they’re deeply worried ratcliffe might win the bid. a few have even mentioned defecting and supporting city if qatar’s bid unsuccessful, but i told them that that’s not on.
It's tempting to say no one except Everton and this season's Chelsea.
But Spurs are not much better although maybe they don't spend as much money.
I have no love for our management but it feels like it's more a case of a lot of well-run clubs, especially in the top 10 (Arsenal, Brighton, Newcastle, Villa, Liverpool) than us being atrocious.
It's more the fact we've got such a huge ceiling as a club that makes people always somewhat overestimate how badly we're run.
The transfer dealings are still a bit of a shambles untill proven otherwise though.

All big clubs bar Chelsea.
Glazers themselves weren't the problem if you think about it. They offered enough money for the football team to sign top players. The problem is the people they hired to run the football side of the club. If they hired someone competent rather than a clown like Woodward, their investment in the football team wouldn't have looked so bad.
Can't believe people bite that easily 
Depends what you mean. United are probably the best run as as a business if you ask owners who don’t care about what happens on the pitch. We make a huge amount of money for the Glazers and they’re about to sell (hopefully) for insane profit.
City are awful as a business, it’s just a financial blackhole. If one day someone finds out the real amount of money that’s gone into that club it will be mind blowing.

The Glazers weren't interested in long term. They would have invested if they were. It was always a rentier capitalism cash machine model with a sale at the end.
That's a common misunderstanding. If you constantly make commercial decisions over football ones and put somebody in charge with that mentality then this is what you get. e.g Ronaldo
Worst run clubs than us are Spurs, Chelsea, Everton, and Leicester.
When it comes to scouting, buying and selling players including negotiating and offering contract extensions, we must be the worst by some distance. Despite the Glazers sucking the club dry, we could have had a world class team today if the money had been spent more wisely.
Are you saying the charges are made up? They paint a pretty damning picture at this point.
Seriously?
all i’m saying is that if it’s small enough that you can’t see it, then does it really exist?
I mean they could have avoided a lot of this if they had just put someone competent in charge of football team while they focused on the business side.
What Metric you based that on? because its not trophies.
After very careful consideration, I must agree with @rimaldo
Season by season, United outperformed all of these teams during certain seasons and they outperformed United in others. And United also won trophies during the past decade.
Are these two statements incorrect?
Yes, seriously.
That person would have clashed with the business person as to who called the shots. Which is why they put smiling yes man Ole in charge instead. Which worked until it didn't.
you sound like all the people that never used to sit around me at maine road. i’ve been not attending games with the best of city fans for years now.
Same. I'm the most tribal toppest Feyenoord supporter around, but I never set foot in Rotterdam. Fecking shithole.
And Leeds
How much money did Abrahamovic write off for Chelsea? I question whether that’s how a well run club runs. The number of managers he is fired says he is made more bad decisions on that front than United, only difference he never let those mistakes get pregnant. I think his running of that club should have been investigated ages ago.
It’s just Everton with trophies.

They painted a damning picture for MG and what happened there?
The problem is that none of us have seen the "proof" apart from the hacked email stuff that the German paper printed, if all this evidence the PL have is so damning why haven't they acted on it.
Now I think City have been cheating, common sense says that, but maybe the evidence isn't as clear cut as it was made out to be
Worse run than United:
Everton
Chelsea
Spurs
Arsenal
Southampton
Leicester
West Ham
Wolves
Forest
Leeds
Aston Villa
Everton
Chelsea
Spurs
Arsenal
Southampton
Leicester
West Ham
Wolves
Forest
Leeds
Aston Villa
Most of them really, if judging by the past 10 years.
City, Newcastle, Brighton, Pool
Stop talking bad about our club you traitors. We're fine! Top 4 this season, you forgot?
