Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

Indeed, they do something that enrages people every week, may as well raise some positive funds rather than just cost cutting.

But at that, no one would care if they got a training ground sponsor. Just feels moronic that we're cutting costs everywhere while not trying to maximise income, apsrt from the massive ticket price increase.

The mere fact they looked for a sale or outside investment showed their house of financial cards was coming down, imo.

Barcelona are getting around £70m a year off Spotify for the rights on the Nou Camp.

70m x 20 years would cover the majority of a new stadium cost, though I would prefer shorter length deals to maximise market rates each renewal.

Could potentially see 100m a year for the rights to the proposed new stadium/campus when it's built, definitely if you include what the training ground could also generate.

Sorry was only awake

I'd suspect they are holding fire on that until they decide 100% on what is happening with the stadium. Then they will bring in a stadium sponsor, maybe even before any construction begins.

Unless they plan on 1 naming package for the stadium and training ground, there is no reason to not have one for Carrington. They got 180m over 8 years from Aon in 2013. A quick Google hasn't turned up any more recent info on that, but it's still referred to the Aon training complex, so they may have an ongoing roll-over agreement.

There was some talk of moving from Carrington in the future to a bigger site, but with the recent investment that.seems unlikely for now.

Maybe call it the Rentokill Arena?

Rashfords form has been chronic for 18 months. And other managers dropped him before. This was nothing particularly noteworthy from RA imo.

There are others in the side, some senior players, some highly rated who have a poor attitude and don't even do the basics right. This was very plain to see in the last 2 games especially.

If they won't step up or apply themselves it's time to bench them. The coach needs to be ruthless in this regard. Moaning about what other managers might have tolerated is pointless really. He's the coach now. He sets the standards.

Even though we have a bright new manager it’s hard to be positive in the short term at least.

Away from the match days the leaky roof and the toxic atmosphere seems to have been present for a long time now.

As a club we have employed some of the best proven and up and coming managers in the game but all have failed miserably.

We also had so many high profile players that have failed even though very successful at other clubs.

Behind the scenes must be a complete mess and players can see this too.

Amorim on his own is not the answer but he deserves our support but he needs help from the top table.

"Anything over 25k....even carrot orders in bulk"

Is this just worded badly or is it suggesting that United are buying 25k+ worth of carrots in bulk?

Beaten to it

Merry Christmas to you all.

Happy Christmas to one and all long suffering Utd fans,I didn’t ask for much Santa,just that this time next year we would have a more competitive team who don’t concede 3+ goals in games and actually have an organised,reasonably effective plan in midfield and attack!🤞🎅

See you all tomorrow for the post match celebration/misery.
