For real bro, the money has been there. How much money is tied up in Berbatov and Nani/Young?

I don't see why Barca's or Real's revenue would be more than United. United is still the most supported team in the world and Old Trafford tickets are always sold out. We were also in the UCL final in 3 of the last 4 years which must have brought a ****load of revenue. Not to mention the titles won. I couldn't be arsed to find statistics but I'm pretty sure the revenue of these 3 teams are similar.
Hah you've got your statistics wrong. Sorry buddy. Bayern spent a net transfer of £95.1 millions in the past 5 years compared to about 50 millions spent by United.
As I mentioned above, we might have the money to spend on transfers (which is just roughly 10 millions a season by the way) but we have to settle for less established players because of wage issues. These are the consequences of the Glazer takeover.

ShiftyPowers;3229993 said:If we're including the Lakers, Yankees, and Phillies, then sure.
Didn't realize Lakers, Yankees and Phillies were there. My bad.
Because they negotiate their own TV deals. They are. It isn't close either. And keep deceiving yourself that you're the most supported club in the world. It's a lie. Real and Barca are far better supported.

ShiftyPowers;3229993 said:I get what you're trying to say, but net transfer isn't a great measure of how much has been invested in refreshing the squad when you sell a single player for 85 million pounds.
Nady;3230657 said:Ok fair enough. I am quite surprised. I think probably one of the reasons we are seeing Real and Barca emerging as top revenue earners is because they have Ronaldo and Messi. United have over the years lost stars like Beckham and Ronaldo who played a very important part in marketing of the club.
That being said, United are still the richest club in the world, in part due to pass success and revenue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes'_list_of_the_most_valuable_football_clubs
Well, if the money was really easily available, we would have a worldclass midfielder by now. Ferguson isn't that stupid is he? He knows that the midfield is bad.
Just take Liverpool as an example. They sold Torres for 50 millions and immediately bought Carroll and Suarez. And what did we do when Ronaldo left? Bought Valencia for 16 millions only in the hope that we can make profit out of the sale.
You mention that Young's salary is high which I agree with. The money spent on him could've spent otherwise but at that time, there were not many options except Sneijder who has very high wages.
We were linked with Nasri too but again, it was hard to attract him when C*ty was offering twice the money he was getting at Arsenal.
