re: Manchester United 16/17 Season-Long Thread: HEY SCH MAKE A NEW ONE THE TOUR STARTS TODAY

United makes hundreds of millions of dollars in income per year. For years, the club dedicated large portion of that income to servicing the interest payments on the owners' 750 million pound leveraged buyout. There were some lean years in the transfer market in the latter Ferguson years. After we sold Ronaldo for a record-breaking fee, we replaced him with Antonio Valencia and the rest essentially went back to the owners. Now that the club has cleared some of the owners' debt, I'm not opposed to seeing us spend a chunk of our income on Pogba and other players instead.

ETA: This is not a post meant to lecture any of the United fans in this thread, just my response to those criticizing United for pulling a turnabout and spending big money on players. Also, just came across an analysis showing the club has spent over 1 billion pounds on interest debt payments since the Glazers took over. Give me Pogba instead.
