Do true A listers go for teams who are 14th domestically, can’t promise UCL football and have won precisely 1 trophy in more than a decade?
The only team so mismanaged with that kind of pull MIGHT be United because they pay top wages and their extra £200m in revenue PER YEAR gives them the opportunity to fix things quickly if they weren’t run by fucking amateurs.

Not that this would worry any United player but:

Key Figures & Details (as of late 2025):
  • Net Debt: Reached £749m (over $1bn).
  • Glazer Takeover Debt: Remains around £481m.
  • New Borrowings:
    An additional £105m was drawn from credit facilities for summer 2025 transfers (e.g., Šeško, Mbeumo, Cunha)

    Total Debt Components: Includes core debt, credit facility usage, and substantial outstanding transfer fees owed to other clubs.

Tottenham:
Key Figures & Details:
  • Net Debt (June 2024): £772.5 million (up from £677.4m in 2023).
  • Total Debt: Some reports suggest total debt (financial + transfer) approached £1.2 billion in 2023.
  • Stadium Debt: A large portion of the debt (~£851.5m in borrowings) is long-term, fixed-rate (avg. 2.79%), with maturities extending to 2051, reducing immediate pressure.
  • Recent Losses: The club reported a £26.2m loss for the year ending June 2024, part of a trend of losses since 2019, totaling nearly £330m.
I think off the pitch we are in a far healthier state than United, who have to find a huge financial amount to help patch up a crumbling cesspit of a stadium whereas we have done that and are adding big revenue streams as a result (as much as many fans take the piss about).

The end of the day, we will forever be in United's shadow regarding on field success, but in true and money terms they really haven't prospered on the pitch despite sending close to a billion in transfer fees since Fergie left.

That will do until the summer when we should bring in a new striker and a progressive passer to play in centre mid

The Kudus disrespect does my nut in.

More assists than Doku, Rogers and Minteh.

One of the best creators in the League whilst being doubled up every game due to oppositions leaving our left to it's own devices as they're no danger.

Just you wait until the left is sorted and Kudus gets freedom.

He's certainly much better than Akliouche.

Agree with this. Kudus is the our only front player that gets you off your seat. I do think he could make better decisions but he’s so off the cuff. I’d love to see him in a team that’s firing.

Nothing wrong with having strength in depth. Right now Kudus is out until March/April, we've sold Johnson, at some point we have to find another player for that wide right because Kulu seems to have big problems with that knee. If we can get Akliouche now then we should
 
Now Conor is announced, we need another imminent signing please.

Nothing is forever. So, all it takes is a Fergie like appointment of this age. Imagine we win 7 of next 10 as ENIC mean business and we get the next Manager and DOF exactly right.

Let’s manifest!
