Attracting players

Not sure if finishing outside the top 4 will be that much of a burden. The World Cup will have come and gone and many players will look at the future not present. Both clubs have got the 2 biggest sponsorship deals around from legit sponsors and not 'parent company sponsors'.

Money is no object to these 2 teams, (bat maybe Wenger for us)

The pros and cons is the manager for both clubs

For us Wenger is still a name puller, the con is that he doesn't really go for big names.

For Moyes, his name is not a name puller. This was shown in the last 2 windows. In the Summer he just went for players he knew is Fellaini and Baines. The other target was a scam in the end. In January, Mata only came because no one else bid. The pro is that he will be willing spend over the odds to boast the team.

It should be an interesting period for both teams who once ruled this country. I still hope we will be in CL next season as we do have an easier run in then Everton, but they are playing better football then us.

If we both have Uefa next season or in Man U case possibly non, I wish us both good luck....

But there won't because the restriction to wage increase is only to do with the PL tv deal, and so a £4m increase won't be a problem.

The signing of Mata and Fellaini and the increase in Rooney's wages would have already gone above the permitted £4m a year already.

Santi's comments are ridiculous because he has been one of our most disappointing performers this year. I am very sorry to say.

He included himself in his comments; why do you assume he's b.itching about everyone else and not taking responsibility himself?

It is understood (based on up last returns) that United’s 2013/14 wages have been estimated to be £209m, however to fall within PL constraint rules (in 2014/15) they will not be able to increase to more than £221m - about £12m to work with.

With player sales and if the Glazers are able to implement stadium naming rights (and a run in the Europa League) however United should be fine.

There you go then, we can increase our wage bill by more than £4m, which has been my point.
