With Parish in charge it couldn't be achieved by late August 2025. Fixed.

I sincerely wish that was a joke, but...

Which is starting from scratch no? Looking at this summer as a clean slate, so from now until then looking at ways to get rid of the dead wood.. Sakho - get him sold, loaned out in the summer - do what it takes to get it done. To injury prone and isn't the future. Zaha - time is right to sell. A LB, RB main priority as are two strikers. Loan market could work well. Telling me starting now, this can't be achieved by late July? Let's say anybody wants to buy Sakho or Meyer considering their wages (as for Wickham, no chance of anyone paying for him). That still leaves the likes of Benteke (120k p/w), Schlupp, McCarthy, Kouyate all on 50-60k p/w. If we sold all the players you mentioned, we would need a first-team left-back, a first-team right-back, another centre-back, a first-team striker, and one or two more wide attacking options. The key point is that we apparently don't have the transfer nous or scouting ability to find the players we need. Furthermore, we seem to be in a financial hole and aren't willing to spend anything. My worry is that it's already too late to fix the problems we have.

Benteke is out of contract in the summer? It really does highlight the mess we are in and after 8 years have no legacy of our time here in the prem But we have to have faith that it can be restored

The rebuilding does need to start ASAP... Though I think that's going to have to include massive improvements to our scouting network and transfer team that will not happen.

Agree - we need to be putting faith into players we sign, that they will hit the ground running, work as a team and have aspirations to play higher, so they either take us higher, or move on. I reckon the extension was a hope he would turn it around and play good to get a better move/cash. No more - 'let's buy this out of favour star with big wages to do a job' (Sakho/Benteke) and 'this guy will do' (McCarthy, Milo, Meyer). We should be telling said players they have no future after the summer and to think about elsewhere. Obviously make sure they won't play crap. But the wilf money should already be lined up for 3 players that each have plan B and C. I would give Roy one more year to see us steady the ship then next summer, 2021 push on

I don't see Wilf money will get three decent players after Man U paid and other hands taken some share Originally posted by Vaibow

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

If Wilf goes for let's say... 55 mil. Let's say United get 20% max... any more and Parish is a fool, that leaves us 44 mil, let's say with the AWB money, the end of year money... there should be 60 mil to invest on good players, we should be looking at 10,15 mil players from lower/foreign leagues.

SP is a idiot Their is not positives to being relegated the Championship is a very difficult league so you can't even guarantee we would come straight back up.

Is Parish really a fool, he brought back Zaha for £3.4m. Zaha arguably has kept us in the Premier, bringing in millions. We will not get the £80m being asked, if he goes for about £45m, less Utds cut could be nett £30m. We would then make a profit of £26m on the deal.

Indeed Zaha has been fantastic for us. The problem is not with him its the rest of the squad that has very little resale value.

the deal ended up costing the same as United paid up front for him SP said this himself so it was 8m-12m Sounds good doesn't it the profit but in the current market it's not and would also show United ended up paying even less for Wan. But no point saying anything negative about SP to you we all know you love him
