Massive lose because their debt is higher than last year so their interest payments are higher. They are going to lose a lot of money and any player purchases would be a stupid decision. They need to sell!.

I thought they'd have to consider selling players but never thought that Rooney would get £70m from Spain. I think Rooney has an EPL limit of around £30m-40m which only leaves Chelsea as he won't go to Citeh and United won't sell him there. They don't really have any other assests. Berbatov has gone backwards and probably only worth £15m-£20m. Valencia has done a job but not set anything alight. So he's on evens at around £15m. Ferdinand is 31 and continually crocked so not even Citeh would pay £30m for him again. Giggs and Scholes are going to be pensioned off. Brown and Vidic are probably under £10m each. The rest are kids.

I don't think any club in England will buy Rooney. Your right that only Chelsea would even think of it. Berbatov at 15m to 20m is being generous if you ask me. I would say around 10 million.

Unless revenue is increased (i.e. high ticket/merchandise prices or negotiating rights on the stadium) over a long-term stratergy, I really can't see much changing. Not even if they won back-to-back triples.

They have already doubled the ticket prices.

Worth pointing out that by re-financing the lot they are lowering the interest of some payments but raising it of others. They really are borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

Basically it's like Ocean Finance
