EssexYid do you know that United signed a deal with Adidas or Nike (I can't remember) just for their kits that makes them the same amount of money per year than we make from EVERYTHING! How can we really compete?
We are punching FC some years.
I agree on City and Chelsea.
But United finished below us last season, and I fully disagree on Liverpool. We were laughing at Liverpool for players like Sigurdsson and Dempsey who chose us over them. The reason Liverpool went ahead of us last season is that they invested in their squad above the money they received for players like Sturridge, Coutinho, even Suarez a year or so before. And they also invested the money in the last 2 years so much better than we have.
To be honest, I'm probably still more disappointed at the signings we made last season rather than not bringing in more/better players this Summer.
Are you suggesting we got nothing from AIA or that UA didn't pay us a massive wedge?
Arse now applying for an extension _ bastards new stadium, top 4 and now an extension!
What makes me laugh is levy.s brief to every new manager is to get top 4 or else.. Then he goes and makes a profit while all other top 4 rivals upgrade on a grand scale.
owning a home in birmingham is pretty much the same thing tbh.they all looked homeless if you ask me
We'll all be happier when actually see our new signings play, Fazio, Benji, Vorm and Yedlin
Poor old bush hill getting murdered intellectually by Lego cunt.

We're not exactly Swindon Town either! Our wedge is quite substantial compared to other rival teams - ticket prices, market share, etc. - Everton and Villa especially. We are NOT broke.United get £75m a year just from the people who make their kits, not sponsor them.
I can only imagine how much they get from the actual sponsor.
We get peanuts in comparison as we are not a global brand to the other teams we are competing against.
