As you said yourself "They give big wages out, stupidly so, that’s why they don’t want to sign the number of players required." And cancelo was too expensive at 20 m but we buy AWB for 50m You cannot genuinely say we do not spend the money, my point is that it all goes on the wrong players at the wrong times who then get massively inflated pay deals etc The football side of things has been a total shambles since Fergie and Gill left, that is why we are in such a £#%&!ing mess now, not because we don't spend |

It’s to do with how the money is to be spent. They’re happy to drop £90m on a Pogba or a Lukaku etc. due to the marketing and attention it generates, they won’t get involved in a tussle for De Bruyne at £55m, as he was a kid with potential and they’d have to bid against City, who can pay the fee in one go.
City sign Sterling and KdB for £105m, we sign Pogba. Looks like we’ve spent a shit ton of money, but it’s not really, they’ll earn it back through marketing and whatnot and pay it over 6 years. Smoke and mirrors. |

That isn’t smoke and mirrors Everyone does structured deals, we’re not unique in that regard We’ve spent enough money to compete to win PLs and CLs That is indisputable The reality is we’ve wasted a colossal amount of money No top club in the history of football has been run as badly and made as many bad decisions as our club has since Fergie and Gill retired I’m afraid to say it’s not going to change as we still have jobs for boys appointments in Arnold and Murtough running the show |

Again, you will understand it or you won’t
The money is spent in a shitty fashion because there are strict rules to the spending of it. Were we just given a billion and told ‘buy the best players’ I’d be fuming at the shitty job, but that clearly isn’t the case. Quote:

Money is money They’re not signing players with Monopoly money Paying transfer fees in instalments and with add-ons is standard practice for all football clubs We want to spend 75 million on FDJ but the f***er doesn’t want to sign We’ve also had one of the biggest wage bills in world football over the last few years We’ve spent a billion pounds on transfers terribly because we have people running the club who have no idea what they are doing We have a squad made up of 4 managers different players, 4 managers with completely different views on how football should be played Utd is a case study in how not to run a football club |

The haphazard spending hasn’t even been recognised by the club yet.
This summers spending against the background of our missing out on CL looking to rebuild. A backup lb and a diminutive cb from a lower league is more money wasted. Who knew appointing the bean counters bean counter wouldn’t signal a change of direction. |
