To celebrate not playing in Europe next season, Manchester United are now preparing to spend a quarter of the entire spending of La Liga during the last summer transfer window (mind you, Spanish clubs even ended up with a net surplus that window). It sure is fun being a strong but not top 1-2 side in Europe’s non English top five leagues.
And here I had the impression they were struggling financially. The Europa loss will cost them ~120 million less pound in revenue next season, and they still got money?
Yes. Didn’t you hear? Big Sir Jim recently sacked the tea lady and made the rest of the staff pay extra for their lunch at the office. That ought to cover a few extra transfers this summer.
We were all making fun of Manchester United’s overpaid players, little did we know Woodward gave similar contracts to normal staff too.
