    Re: Biggest sports franchise in the world and no money!!!

    over the past five years, United's average annual net spend has been less than £12 million ($18M). No fewer than seven Premier League clubs have spent more, not just the obvious ones (Manchester City, Chelsea, etc.) but also the likes of Sunderland, Stoke and Aston Villa. {http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/gabriele_marcotti/12/09/man.united/index.html#ixzz1iXO4RgJs}

    I think you'll find Barca & Real are the only big teams with more than 1 world class player..

    I belive we have the money. But Fergie keeps on thinking we dont need a big buy. Truthfully, in my opinion we only have ONE world class player right now, Rooney. Look at all of the other top teams they dont just have one. Rooney cant do it by himself.

    Biggest sports franchise in the world and no money!!!

    I find it hard to believe the money our club makes and the invesment that is put back in.With the money we make we should be able to make at least one worldclass signing a season.Barca dont need any players but it doesnt stop them making big moves in the market,or real for that matter.There is clubs been bought up by oil rich arabs and we are going to be left behind.It hurts to see our club being robbed,and there is no other way to put it,its the fans worldwide that spend that makes most our club most of our money,there is no doubt the glazers have up our marketing value but the club has not seen a penny put back in.They are bleeding us dry.And I believe they gave fergie some money because of the amount of anti glazer fans each week.our colours have gone back to red now.Im very worried that they wont sell the club till they have sucked every penny out of the club,and then they will sell for what they can.Why take a billion or so when they can bleed it for another god knows how long and then sell it.They know that united have one of the biggest and most loyal supporters in the world and as long as we keep going to see our club and keep buying everything united,they can keep sucking us dry.Berbatov was our last big buy,ask yourself what year was that and what year did they take over.We often broke our transfare fee,it has not happened once since they took over.Fergie covers up for them,well they are his bosses.
