Manchester United's current struggles stem from financial burdens and strategic decisions that have left the club in a precarious position.

The Glazers' Legacy of Debt: A primary issue is the substantial debt of approximately £750 million placed on the club by the Glazers. This debt isn't merely a static figure; it requires constant servicing through annual interest payments. These payments, which amounted to £63 million in a recent financial year and a staggering £900 million over the Glazers' tenure, drain resources that could otherwise be used for player acquisitions and infrastructure improvements.

PSR and FFP Constraints: The debt and interest payments have a direct impact on Manchester United's ability to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. These regulations are designed to ensure clubs operate within their financial means, but the debt burden significantly restricts Manchester United's spending power. The debt counts towards PSR, limiting the amount the club can spend on transfers.

Forced Sales of Promising Players: To alleviate financial pressures and meet PSR requirements, Manchester United is forced to consider selling young, talented players. The example is Alejandro Garnacho, whose potential sale is primarily to cover debt interest payments. This strategy is counterproductive, as it weakens the squad and undermines the club's long-term competitiveness.

Poor Performance in the Transfer Market: Compounding these issues is Manchester United's inability to effectively sell players. The club has a history of overpaying on wages and contracts, making it difficult to offload underperforming players. This inefficiency in the transfer market further restricts financial flexibility and exacerbates the need to sell promising young talents.

Criticism of INEOS's Approach: INEOS's investment in Manchester United has been met with criticism due to their partnership with the Glazers and their perceived inaction in addressing the debt. Some view INEOS as enabling the Glazers' continued detrimental influence, particularly as INEOS has not cleared the £750 million debt. This decision means the club continues to incur substantial interest payments. Critics argue INEOS could be more creative in injecting funds, such as converting debt into shares, similar to other clubs like Leicester and Nottingham Forest.

Cost-Cutting vs. Investment: INEOS's strategy of cutting costs to achieve sustainability is viewed skeptically. Some argue this approach has not been successful in the past and that focusing solely on cost-cutting could hinder the club's performance and competitiveness.

The Need for Creative Financial Solutions: The situation demands creative financial solutions that go beyond simple cost-cutting. As Chelsea has demonstrated, there are ways to generate revenue through asset sales, sponsorships, and other innovative strategies. However, Manchester United must be willing to explore these options to compete effectively.

Revenue Generation vs. Debt Servicing: While Manchester United's revenue remains relatively strong, a significant portion is diverted to servicing the debt. Other clubs can spend more, even with similar or lower revenues because they are not burdened by massive debt interest payments. This disparity puts Manchester United at a competitive disadvantage.

I don’t remember how I found your channel, but I got so much from you. I used to hate writing, your posts made me love it. They were so inspiring. I have joined countless channels, but your channel is one of the few channels that I actually read. Thanks.

Thank you. I am glad that you found something useful in this channel even though it was not primarily meant to bring specific type of value to the audience. I am not sure how my posts made you like writing because I know that my writing style has many flaws and majority of my posts are unedited first draft type of posts with bunch of punctuation errors, misspellings and what not. But yeah I try to encourage people to write and express their ideas in written way. I think writing makes you really go down deeper into your lake of “consciousness” and try to craft something meaningful or impulsive.

Football unites but it also massively contributes to tribalism
