On Thursday, Manchester Untyz issued an alarming message on its finances.
In response to the letter of the groups of fans on raising tickets to “Old Trafford”, “United” answered, “Currently, we have significantly damaging more than 300 million pounds in the last three years.
“This is not stable, and if we do not work now, we are at risk for our ability to compete with PSR / FFP requirements and to compete significantly on the field.”
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Inos arrived at a club as investors, a number of stories were about reductions and savings. There have been 250 reductions for the club’s staff, reduced or decreased by clubs legends and rebuilt on the scenes.
It was a short-term pain in long-term profit aspirations. United believes that reconstruction may lead to 40 million pounds in the future. The situation was also the topic of this January transfer window, when house players such as Alejandro Granacho are related to possible sales.
However, the urgency of declining was emphasized in this recent post of the club, especially when Ruben Amoriem’s team weakens at the bottom of the Premier League table and wants to release the qualification of profitable football in the Champions League. .
“It’s a serious situation in their own words,” says Sky Sports News: CARD Correspondent Kave Solhkall.
United has announced the net damage of 113 million pounds in its latest accounts, and they have lost more than 300 million pounds over the past three years. New co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe dismisses staff, reduces costs and raises tickets prices.
“Every season, which United holds out of the Champions League, he hits their pockets. Judging by their positions in the championship, everything will be worse before it gets well. “
Interestingly, this statement on the need to stretch the zones comes from a week when United was the fourth in Deloitte Football Money League, where they only realized “Real”, Manchester City and “Dance”. Saint Germain. “
However, bad sports speeches have left their impact. As well as the absences of the Champions League, there have been transfer costs to the last seasons, more than 600 million pounds were spent on Eric Tennus players. United also had to pay compensation for Dutch after extending the agreement, then after removing 12 games during this campaign.
Since Amoriem seems to be able to update the team, that the club leads players in accordance with its different system and style of play, United can once again have to spend the way out of difficulties. What brings us to the prices of tickets and controversial reductions?
In recent years, the groups of Ticket have called ticket prices as a great scene of the huge income of the “greatly unnoticed” club.
“Co-owners probably consider the rise in prices for border profits,” said Solhekol.
United is saddened by huge debts, and they must comply with the financial regulations of the Premier League and UEFA.
“In general, the more you earn, the more you can spend, especially according to the new rules that will start next season.
“United must reduce costs and maximize income. Rising ticket prices, massive reductions and cost reduction are all contradictory when fans can show players who earn wealth and do not play on the field.
“Many clubs have owners who have invested significant ways in their clubs. The property of the Glasser family cost United more than 1 billion pounds. The long-term debt of United, the amount that glysers took to buy the club 20 years ago is $ 650. m (526 million pounds sterling). “
Can Manchester United violate PSR / FFP rules?
From the beginning, United claims that they lost 300 million in the last three years will violate PSR rules that allow only 105 million pounds to lose during three seasons.
However, there are privileges within those rules, in which of which clubs can prolong the transfer fees, which are paid for many reporting periods, which are considered to be “common in football”, such as infrastructure, women’s teams and academies.
At the beginning of this month, we said that no Premier League club was charged with PSR’s violations in three years of 2021-2024.
It is important that PSR will replace the next season with Squad Cost RulesWhat will restrict the cost of the club by the percentage of their income?
So, for now, “United” is located in the borders. But just as the club warned himself, right now requires decisive steps to avoid punishment in the future.
