How stubborn can you get? The club say they can afford to increase the wages and go as far as £190m. You're just plain wrong. The debate is done.

So you believe everything that the club says even though the maths don't add up?.
Man United can afford their wage bill because they are a global brand and make loads more in overseas marketing than we do.
We can just about break even with our current wage bill so the idea that we have the money to spend on players to bump it up further still is ludicrous, it doesn't work.
Yes, I'll trust you instead.You're not even taking into account the revenue increase from commercial deals and broadcasting in that report. Or what else can happen over the next few years with sponsorship deals. It's all there in the report.
This what you are saying is utter tosh.We dont pay all ozils wages for 5 years upfront .What if he left after 2 years, the 120million becomes 60 million . If we sell him for 60m after hes seen the light and realises how unambitious we are as a club and how one dimensional our manager is , he will of cost us nothing.

To be fair the point I was making is that 120million doesn't buy you a lot, if you consider Ozil transfer fee, wages and add ons you aren't left with a lot of change. So it wouldn't be hard to suppose that money is being spent on that, not all at once but being ear marked for that. Ill grant you I'm speculating but you seem to be reaching because its too hard to accept that you can't compete as both a football club and a business
But you don't buy players in the hope that someone takes them off your hand two years later, and the money to pay his wages over the five years has to come from somewhere. When you buy a car in installments you have to know you will always have the money to pay it back, no the money is not all spent at once but if our current turnover is used to service our current wage bill than any supplementary income is used to service any additions to the wage bill. I'm sorry if I'm sounding patronising but these are alarming simple concepts you don't seem to grasp
And what you cant grasp is that if the 120m you say has been used for ozils transfer and wages this year then the total wages for next year must be say 160million minus ozils yearly wage which is 9m .So either the wage bill reduces year on year or we dont pay everything up front.
