Good read and a fair summary. Getting sub-standard players off the books, who are paid ridiculous amounts of money, is easier said than done as evidenced by Everton who have seen such players run down their contracts. You can see why Maino, Garnacho and more home talents are open to transfers. Difficult times ahead.
The truth is, as those of us interested in Cycling, Sailing, Rugby and Football (my team is a Championship struggler) will know, Ratchiffe’s sporting endeavours all seem to be short term attention span and/or end up in rancour, then the courts and him making a big pay off.
Man U is in a far better fiscal place than many clubs in the UK and European leagues, but given the ManU fan base in Asia is shrinking and that loss being made up by fans of other Premiership clubs, Ratcliffe is again overstating Man U’s value to the TV value. Consequently, ManU should not be given any more leeway, it is a distortion of the game and other clubs would rightfully seek redress.
