That's not how debt works, but that's fine, not really the conversation. But, frankly, Man U is weaker than Paris. The latter has billions more backing them, are operating off no debt, and are supported by their own telecom company in Bein/Aljeezera. On top of this, they're stationed in one of the most talent rich countries in Europe and are already more active/successful in the transfer market and in European play.


Man U is competing with Chelsea and City right now, not Bayern, Barca, and Real. They're a long way away.

In terms of finances and what they can spend through FFP Man Utd are going to be ahead of Barca and PSG only maybe behind Real.

The sponsorship/kit deals and TV money in EPL is huge.

Paris is already top 5, 3 years into the project, and are coming out from under FFP in 2016. Which hasn't affected them much anyway because they're stacked with young talent more so than any club sans RM. They're undoubtedly stronger than Man U right now.


People are overestimating the impact of the EPL TV deal. They already have a ton of money, giving them a ton more to spend on mediocre players will only make the leagues they're dropping money into stronger(La Liga, Ligue 1).

We will see butI would bet in next few years Man Utd are a good bit ahead of PSG in richest clubs list etc.

As a team just now Paris are better for sure but Man Utd will bounce back and get sorted out.

Clearly PSG seem to have struck gold during the last mercatos and have amazing talents now, unlike city, with same oil money but shit sporting managment.

You can but I think most truly world class players end up at madrid or fcb sooner or later. Man U is a step behind.

These things come and go in cycles. RM had their barren period in the mid 00s, FCB had that low point before Laporta took over, Liverpool had the 90s, United's season during Moyes wasn't actually that bad compared to their pre-Ferguson years, the Milan clubs are in the gutter now. Fact is you only had to look back to the late 90s when most WC players will choose Italy over RM or Barca.

Makes you wonder if Txiki was really that good, or if it was all the genius of Pep and Laporta :lol:

Bony and Mangala :lol:

That's exactly how debt works because the principal amount can always be refinanced. The interest payment also acts as tax sheid if the club is generating profit so I seriously doubt your understanding of finance..The $1 billion plus debt that was loaded onto us when our revenue was $300 was bad but $500 million debt when we have revenue approaching $700 million is completely manageable..

He was good with us ,specially with Rijkaard actually . But yeah his work with City has been atrocious
Though both Mangala and Bony could be very valuable in the long term ,both suit the EPL and Bony is very good player but he need to fit in the team while Mangala has gr8 potential too

Yeah, Txiki is the boss over there, so no surprise their transfers have been so bad since he took over.

Scored a Hatrick today and got an assist also.

I hate the fact he plays for city infront of about 20 fans when he could be at a decent club. Such a great player.

When he is fit and injury free, i think he is a top 3 striker in the world. Shame he is wasting away his career in this small time oil club, but that is his choice.
