I've heard Mark Zuckerberg in the past if anybody could link that with 11.
Pep's spending is insane (£941m and counting at City)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
It is insane but prior to Pep it never mattered how many stars City bought because we always had them in check. Now we've swapped places with them. We buy all these big names but no one is worried about us
I just learned that city walked away from pogba. Pogba who used to openly mock them on Twitter.
Their spending is absolutely disgusting. Every team has to try match it. United will, Chelsea will, klopp has already changed his entire philosophy, Tottenham need to try stay in top 4 arsenal need to tryy match Tottenham and if English clubs emerge as top in Europe over the next few years then Europe's clubs will have to outspend too
City have completely skewed the criteria required to aim for and try maintain success and have directed clubs in a direction that is unsustainable. They and their Dubai money are a plague on British football and when the post mortems are being written, trying to pinpoint why football lost so many fans and became just another sport, city will have been the main causative factor.

They wouldnt have Pep for a start.
Whatever rubbish is being spouted is about elon musk.
You offered more for Bale than Real did but failed with the bid.

The Scot also laid out what his transfer plans were when he arrived at United. “When I first went in my real target was Gareth Bale,” Moyes said. “I felt all along that Gareth Bale was a Manchester United player. I fought right until the last minute. We actually offered [Tottenham Hotspur] a bigger deal than Real Madrid [a then world record £85 million – United offered £100 million]. But Gareth had his mind made up on going to Real Madrid. That was, in my mind, the player I really wanted to bring to Manchester United.
Leroy Jenkins?
Who?
LEEERROOOYYYY JEEENNKIIIINNNNSSS
@Cal? Elon Musk?
If @Cal? was important enough to have repercussions for leaking the actual name, he'd be equally liable for giving shit clues like this. Ergo, he knows feck all.
You know something? Kyle Walker dissed City on Twitter once. It happens. Kids with too much time on their hands post shit sometimes.
If you don't believe that City and Pogba came close to a deal in 2015 you may prefer to believe the Daily Telegraph?

Does winning stuff count?
So Pogba is another one to add to the list of footballers who opted for United of City.
That makes Berba, Pogba and Sanchez (plus any others I have failed to mention)
Not sure how anyone would even begin to trust a guy with Donald Trump in his tagline.
City is smart giving Pep this amount of money as he is a sure thing to win trophies and so far he bought quality players. The manager that comes after him will have a great team as well. We did spend huge as well, not as much as city but we are meh.
Imagine Klopp with this budget, as he does need quality players on the bench as well because of fatigue. He could create another all time great team.

No one in their right mind would choose a Moyes led United ahead of RM.
Klopp may very well get his wish of managing a top football team before long. Real may come calling for his services.
I have no coaching experience but with his squads I would be disappointed if I didn't win stuff. I'd have to literally orgy all their wives
What other all time great team has Klopp created?
The reasons for success and lack thereof always change depending on which clubs are discussed. Sometimes you see people try to refute their very own points when talking when comparing United to two different clubs.
Yeah, events have proven what we missed out on
genuinely didn't click on this. either you've copied the wrong link or are making an appalling joke.
A non quoted, non verified article written by a british journalist in the middle of the transfer window? well allow me to retract. Even if true, agents speak to all the top clubs about their players all the time.
berba who won has many league titles at united in 4 years has city in 42 so he definatley chose rightYeah, events have proven what we missed out on
But but but, Foden and youth...
The point I was making was that United were trying to spend 100m on one player five years ago yet some folk get hot under the collar at our spending. The 30 odd million spent on Rio is equivalent to 100m now. Pogba and Lukaku were also close to that mark and you have reportedly lodged a 100m rejected bid fro SMS this summer.
Your hindsight 20/20 point about The Chosen One (United's title for Moysey) is redundant.
Agree but he played for Ferguson. You don't have him any more and it shows.
For all the talk of money spent he still has to coach them and he has them at a level I doubt any other manager could. Bringing up their money while we are also one of the biggest spenders across Europe is tone deaf and just bitter.
United can spend whatever much they like without scrutiny since every penny is earned. Citeh, just like Chelsea before them, will have to put up with the tag of being funded.
City about to unveil Mahrez and Jorginho while Utd are trying to bring in Dalot, ladies and gentlemen there lies the difference between the two clubs,one is utterly professionally run while the other labours without any sort of genuine intent and vision!
So whatever happened to FFP? Or are they just spending their Premier league money? Their stadium is called Etihad, their sponsors are Etihad and they are owned by Abu Dhabi royalty. It's like all their money is coming from one source (maybe indirectly).
By the way new poster but I come in peace.

.That is amazing. It is worth considering that their figures are from 2008-09 so judging Pep by them isn't necessarily fair but it's nothing we don't already know. City are propped up by huge amounts of oil money.
What is irritating is that we've underperformed according to those statistics. Our spending is in line with Barcelona and Real Madrid but our success isn't.
shut the feck up you absolute drama queen.
every time a city fan makes some absurd roundabout argument about singular transfer fees being someway related to billions spent cracks me up.OK don't take the report of a serious writer on a serious publication if you don't want to.

These are a few more indications that there was an attempt to thrash out a deal between City and Pogba in the summer of 2015 but it stalled due to excessive wage demands and other add ons but if you want to bury your head in the sand and not accept this inconvenient truth then go ahead.
Ha Ha. Knew that was coming.
Desperate stuff.
