It's not SAF Russ, it is the American owners.
I read somewhere today that United have £100 million in the bank available for new players, that is quite small if you take away the £80 million United received for Ronaldo.
I also read somewhere that the Glazers dip into United's "pot" fairly regularly to boost their income, so maybe SAF can't touch it.
At some point when United struggle to win anything (like tonight), and money becomes less available to the Glazers, they may consider selling. (Hooray, then we can start again maybe)
The rot will set in when Fergie steps down or retires, some players will certainly leave, success & gates will diminish, etc etc.
I believe that at the moment SAF & Gill are just puppets for the Glazers, and are more or less told what to say about anything to do with the club. Gill would certainly be sacked if he stepped out of line, I am not sure what they would do if SAF did the same.
I have been urged to sign up for this
