Very, very proud to have welcomed on Owen Hargreaves in today’s video.
The Champions League-winning midfielder spoke about Michael Carrick’s situation, United’s early season issues and the on-field fixes available.
Any help spreading the word would be immensely appreciated 🫡🇾🇪

I wrote my first, and I promise my last, Substack.
21 years away from Old Trafford. One weekend back. Plenty to get off my chest.

That works out at an average of 142 million per season
Almost the exact same amount that they have spent this summer too
Have they spent it wisely? No
Will chelsea, city and liverpool get called out for their high spends? Also no

It's pretty obvious what happened. They did their homework with a lot of players' agents early in the window to understand what it would take to sign each one of them. But then the likes of Spurs came in and blew up the market by paying insane amounts of transfer fees. So, these guys decided that saving money and accruing the good PR that comes with it was more important than actually strengthening the squad. Kind of spineless shit that a rookie management does lol.
So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

I hate how aggressive algorithms have become. You like one post and your entire timeline is flooded with similar posts in seconds, it’s so easy to build yourself an echo chamber.

With United’s transfer business ramping up and Karl Darlow apparently an impending new arrival, I grabbed a few minutes with Eric Steele to discuss the move.
Eric knows Karl well, dating back to their time together at Aston Villa, and his verdict is simple: “He’s a perfect fit.”

The ever genial @mjcritchley kindly spared some time to chat… you guessed it, United and the transfer market.
As well as alternative targets, the notion of shunning the inflated PL market was discussed. Time to mine cut-price gems, or best to let them develop elsewhere first?

The debate around Manchester United's proposed new stadium sounds very modern but when Old Trafford opened in 1910, many supporters had exactly the same concerns we hear today:
• Leaving a beloved home
• Rising costs
• Commercialisation
• Atmosphere
• Safety

No publication has been tougher on Fox's World Cup studio show than @guardian. You knew it was coming and here is this year's edition. The headline: "The French aristocrat and the all-American idiot: Henry v Lalas is the World Cup’s most compelling battle."

Replying to @RedMarrow_
@RedMarrow_ remember that left back who wasn’t good enough for United and was then lauded by hipsters on here when he went to Madrid.
What’s the latest on him?

Initial high level thoughts. Big accomplishment for #MUFC to get through their near term debt burden. Another milestone completed for the financial and operational rebuild.
The net increase in debt (by $125mn) will of course be a concern to many fans. But essentially, United's actions over the last few years (including the mistakes) has bought them the access to cash and time to focus on continuing the rebuild.
Overall good deal and broadly in-line with my expectations. Interest rates were effectively zero when the $425mn debt was issued. So interest rate increase of just 1.57% is, in my view, reflective of the financial model being implemented and potentially bigger prize of stadium financing deal in the future.
United's other $225mn term loan is also extended to 2031 (with the new $550mn facility). Gives some headspace for operational focus.
Extra $125mn/ £100mn will boost cash coffers and mean United have even more flexibility to do deals. Would not expect them to change transfer plans as a result. Maintaining the financial discipline still important long term.
Incremental $13mn annual interest cost (c.£10mn) will continue to be a minor hindrance to football earnings rule for UEFA competitions.
🚨 BREAKING #MUFC refinance $425mn Glazer debt due in 2027 through new $550mn loan due 2031. Interest rate 5.36% (1.57% higher than the 3.79% 2027 notes) on terms similar to existing debt being refinanced. Will likely be an incremental £13.4mn incremental annual interest cost for the club.
New $550mn loan will be used to prepay the existing $425mn loan and for other general corporate purposes.
