Fergie was unable to play full strength sides in Europe thanks to the 5 foreigner rule.
The 94 and 96 Double-winning sides were both BETTER than the 99 Treble winning side. Both of those sides would have won the Champions League, the only thing up for debate is whether they would have sacrificed the FA Cup in order to do so.
As for United's spending, you may want to watch this video and learn something. 😲😂
https://youtube.com/shorts/iSTJMM8Ilzo?si=S-5Vb_inc5CXH5aJThe Berties have spent more than us from 2001 to 2021, (allegedly) breaking 115 FFP Regulations on the way.
And there's not many seasons where we spent more than everyone else. We DID break a few single player signing transfer records but most of those were successful signings.
United's problems regarding spending started when both Fergie and David Gill left the club at the same time.
This was when our scouting and recruitment teams, full of people that knew what they were doing, were replaced by ex merchant bankers and accountants that knew NOTHING about football.
The Rat 🐀 has now poached Berrada from City, and is in the process of poaching Ashworth from Newcastle, and are replacing the useless recruitment team with the best of the best. Those clowns in charge of recruitment and the last two clowns who were our CEO were useless. They only got their jobs because they all made the dodgy buyout possible!!! 😲
We're going to see our wage bill cut which will make it A LOT easier to sell players and we'll end up doing our business early. And we'll stop panicking at the end of each Summer and pay through the nose for players as well as stopping dodgy loans of players that are pretty much past it.
We're going to end up signing young players that most people haven't heard of, and be a better side because of it.
United are on their way back. I had my doubts about the Rat 🐀, and I'm still not entirely convinced, but he's making the right noises and bringing in the right people to improve our transfer business over the next few years.
We'll still end up paying United Tax when we sign anyone, usually around 20% or so, but our transfer ins and outs will be A LOT better during these next few years.
I'm disappointed that we didn't get Paul Mitchell though, and having both Mitchell and Ashworth working together.
The biggest change is that after previously trying and failing to get Ashworth at United, the Rat 🐀 has managed to tempt him to join. All that needs sorting out is his gardening leave. We'll probably end up paying a £10m compensation fee, but some of the media are claiming that the Geordies want as much as £30m lol. United Tax again 😲
