Started by a Tory and Orangeman as well?It was the right manger coming in and they also had some money too
Don’t forget the only reason Liverpool even exist is because Everton refused to pay the rent increase on Anfield

Interesting again. Was it just blind luck that Liverpool kicked on from that point? Or was it related to something about football being bigger in the North West industrial areas at that time?
Yes, I think they'll still buy him but will struggle to get enough quality elsewhere. If a couple of the promoted teams perform well next season I think United will be in serious troubleYou think they will be able to buy him now??
I think they are gonna have financial issues nowYes, I think they'll still buy him but will struggle to get enough quality elsewhere. If a couple of the promoted teams perform well next season I think United will be in serious trouble
I think they are gonna have financial issues now
They would need a plan and structure for thatIt might be a blessing in disguise, force them to buy good players and not "stars"
Hope so, there'll always be another tea lady or two to sack thoughI think they are gonna have financial issues now
Manchester, where it doesn't rain, it 4s.Can we change the thread title to
Man utd, the club that Spurs broke.
They've missed out the bit where Daniel Levy fudged it up by ......blah blah blahstill some will blame the club no doubt? sounds a bit similar to the Grealish saga.
Fernandes was all set for sign for Spurs under Mauricio Pochettino.
The deal was all but done, after five meetings with his entourage and Spurs left Fernandes and his people impressed with the north London club's structure.
"They were absolutely next level when it comes to detail," said a source involved in the talks.
"Even the rooms at the training ground - each one was decorated just like the players' bedrooms at home, the ones they share with their partners.
"The bed was exactly the same. Even the flowers in the garden gave off a scent that's meant to be beneficial - it was mind-blowing.
"There were two weeks left in the window, but Sporting were going to accept it."
The club board, however, changed their mind, holding out for an offer twice as big that never arrived. With the transfer window closing, they made the decision during the Europa League draw in Monaco to sell Raphinha to Rennes instead.
Fernandes was so convinced that he'd be heading to north London that, when Sporting president Frederico Varandas came to explain the situation, he told him to go away.

Europa League final: How Bruno Fernandes became Manchester United's heart
As Bruno Fernandes leads Man Utd out against Tottenham in the Europa League final, BBC Sport look at his journey - including almost signing for Spurs.www.bbc.com
Cunha gone down in my estimation if he is really signing for United. To go for a sideways step to a club not in Europe, that are on the decline and have reported financial issues. Shows what his level of ambition must be.
Yep, If you are spunk a decent fee then it does seem a risk. But then again, with no European football they will need to overpay or take players in that bracketGood player but find it strange that Almorim wants Rashford, Garnacho and Sancho gone for attitude / behaviour related issues (may be wrong / assuming there…) but they sign a total clam in Cunha, could be an interesting one if he acts up.
Could be a very big chunk of their budget gone already too.
