    It's all the Glazers' fault: they've taken so much cash out of the club it's ridiculous. They gave Ed Woodward the most important job at the club (aside from maybe the manager's role) and he didn't have a clue how to run a football club, so we've had the ridiculous situation of, for example, letting Paul Pogba go for free, then buying him for a record transfer fee, then letting him go for free again. They've spent a lot of money on players but the majority of that money has gone on big names - because they wanted to sell shirts and wanted those big names for pure profile and exposure. But while we weren't winning titles, those big names were only coming to the club because we offered them wages that no one else would pay them. And because those players were here for financial reasons, most of them didn't put the work in and so they didn't perform well. And because they played badly, no one wanted to sign them until they got to the end of their ridiculous contracts. An absolute shambles and they're still at the club, draining it of cash.

      And tbf the club have been cleaning the wages up in the last 12-18 months. Ronaldo, Varane, De Gea, Martial & Sancho have all been allowed to leave. In fact a big part of our losses is that lost all left for free or in Sancho's case a very low fee compared to what we paid.

    All Football Finances are unsustainable, even more so away from the top tiers, it is just ridiculous, even if fans are not paying in tickets they are paying in other ways.

As a football club, you will bring in more fans, more sponsors, and more money if you perform well. Comparing Manchester United to Real Madrid at this very moment is criminal. The “income” will slowly begin to fade away as the team continues to underperform and disappoint. Whoever is in charge of the signings/ recruitment should be sacked ASAP- not to mentions the ludicrous wages of players who are riding the bench. What an absolute joke of a team.
