EPL footix arguing over your club spends more money than my club.

Hilarious.

Fellas get fierce worked up over other mens wealth

Bayern, real Madrid must be fuming, great news.

The whole thing is great news for Irish man united fans as pep and the best players will stay now and city will probably beat Liverpool to the league next year.

Its not really great news. It opens the door for another murderous regime, the Saudis to do whatever they want at Newcastle when that goes through

Billionaires are inhumane shocker.

Man U had it all to themselves for decades as the undisputed moneybags, back to the early 60’s really when they signed Denis Law from Turin and then a succession of British transfer record signings down through the decades like Bryan Robson, Roy Keane, Andy Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Juan Veron and famed youth academy graduate Paul Pogba. They still have the deepest pockets, the biggest wage bill and a first team starting XI assembled at a cost of just under half a billion. They don’t have a monopoly on financial dominance any more though. There’s an elite coterie of three monied franchises now with the emergence of Manchester City and Chelsea, backed by petrodollars and rogue states/dictatorships.

Likes of Liverpool and Woolwich who were relatively rich in bygone ages can’t compete any more really financially. Coach Klopp winning the league is a throwback. As Gary Neville observed, a lot of it is down to Klopp signing players for £30 million and turning them into £130 million players. Old money always resents nouveau riche. You can see the absolute seethe from likes of Man U superfan @BruidheanChaorthainn and @Tierneevin1979 that Man U don’t have it all to themselves any more for flashing the cash around.

I hope City are seeking damages here against Uefa? Disgraceful what Sheikh Mansoor, the club and fans have been put through for what was essentially a political stunt

Sheikh Mansour is an honourable man, I imagine he’ll just want this entire business put behind him. I would like to see UEFA show that the €10M is put to good use and not into the pockets of these bureaucrats.

The same fella has spent years arguing about Liverpool’s spending and Klopp’s salary :laughing:

Disaster for Leicester. Good for Rodgers.

A European Super League cannot be far away. UEFA time is done.

Every single word of that is true. To be totally fair though man united always had a great youth and scouting system too though. Their 68 and 99 European Cup winning teams had a lot of free and homegrown players as well as expensive ones.

Man united being the form team in the world has everyone seething :sweat_smile:

Coach Klopp being a throw back :joy: he broke the world record transfer fee paid for a goal keeper and a defender you fool.

His net spend is less than Bournemouth and Everton in the last 5 years. Sure selling Coutinho paid for Becker and Van Dijk.

Net spend is an irrelevance. Bournemouth and Everton didn’t pay 150 million for two players. Under coach klopp Liverpool’s wage bill increased by 90 percent. The largest increase in the history of English soccer in a four year period.

Interesting enough last summer Liverpool signed no players but paid 40 million to agents. Yes coach Klopp is really a throw back alright :joy:

It’s hilarious @ChairmanDan can’t comment on Man City with out bringing man united in to it.

Net spend is very relevant. Like a business selling products to allow the purchase of others. Up until the sale of Leroy Sane Manchester City had not sold a single player they wanted to keep in the past 12 years. Everton spent more on Bolasie than Liverpool did on Mane😅
