Fergie was always planning a few years ahead of the rest, that's why no club could match them year on year. Best anyone could do was concentrate their efforts on building up their current squad but Ferguson was always planning further down the tracks. He had earned that luxury. It also took bravery to replace people like Beckham, Ince, Keane, etc.

Something happened though as he approached retirement which stood to jeopardise his legacy. Their newest challengers were their city rivals. He faced the prospect of retiring with UTD in 2nd place behind City and he couldn't countenance that. He ceased to plan ahead and instead of replacing Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs and many others with younger models, he held them together and used funds to add RVP instead. It was short termism so that he could retire at the top.

It's remarkably similar to what happened Liverpool in the late 80's when they exhausted their squad fighting off Everton, Kenny chucked in the towel, he knew what was coming and left Souness to take the blame.
 
bloody hell i didnt realise they had spent so much either!!

Herrera, Shaw, Rojo and Di Maria, for a total of 132 million.

Our business has been better and at a fraction of the cost. If i was a United fan i would go and get the biggest bottle of Whisky i could find and drink myself into a stupor until the season has ended, it is going to be long and painful!
 
What it says is. Come end of this season no champions league.

United share price will take a tumble. Major time.

Sponsors will not like the negative headlines or high cost of their sponsorship

It will result in share and equity flight

You will see Ed Woodward on next years Dragons Den if they miss out on Champions league with cap in hand.

Answer: ALOT

What we perceive a lot, is not a lot to Utd. They will make that money back from the extra sky money and the commercial deals they have in place.

I see that article is Jan this year. In July of this year, Forbes valued them at over 3.5 billion and number one brand in football above Barca and Real. They have a few more years before the commercial partners look elsewhere, they are a massive pull.

Its a volatile world. Forbes are basing their figures on the accounts pre Moyes.

Telling you. Theyre in a more difficult position that the Adidas deal has just put an elastoplast on. Not sown the wound up.
