So up to the prem we go

Now if you measure success by prize money . Wednesdays only success in 80 years was a Rumblelows cup win. In 1991
League Cup winners receive £100,000prize money (awarded by the Football League) with the runners-up receiving£50,000, considered relatively insignificant to top-flight teams, compared to the £2 million prize money of the FA Cup, which is in turn eclipsed by the Premier League's television money

UNITED will conservatively get 150 million pounds for gaining promotion to the prem

So thats 1500 times more prize money Man city only got 3m for winning this year league cup
Is it worth the effort
 

Blades £150 million plus
Pigs minus £50 million plus and trying to figure out a way of cooking the books before submitting their accounts, which they'll manage to do by the way without a word being said
 
the money is meaningless

It's all about the glory and the great feelings it brings to everyone involved

The money gives us no advantage over Palace, Norwich, Southampton and all the other teams we will be playing next year

My prediction is that they’ll offload the ground on a leaseback arrangement- been done before to circumvent FFP

absolutely I'm no accountant (like some of the guys on this site) but just doing a few basic numbers you'll need to spend most of that cash to stay on the gravy train, at which point it's gone.

Doesn't matter how many millions he gets by whatever means he uses - having the money and FFP allowing him to spend it are not the same thing.

Considering they have already offered Westwood a new deals suggests they may not be in the shit suggested
 
The new deadline for them to file accounts for last season has come and gone. Accounts were due to be filed by 30th April, are they hiding something?
 

Its a lot more than 150 million as discussed on other threads, well over 200 spread over several years with parachute payments.
The difficult bit is none of it is upfront as I understand it.

It will most likely be a deal on far less money than he's on now.
 
We need to build the club with this money. And if things don’t go well next season, keep an eye on the medium term. Training facilities and ground improvements should see some investment.

Inevitably the majority goes on wages, but we need to be recruiting players who will accrue value.

Conservative estimates will pitch the increase in revenue at £175m over 5 years, should we be relegated after our first season.

What a job Chris Wilder has done in 3 short years. He inherited a ragbag of a squad and a dis-united club and has pieced it back together, step by step.

What is our manager's value to the club in financial terms? His value in emotional terms is already legend, right up there with our best-ever top managers.

He's done it on a shoe-string budget. Taken us from the wilderness to the promised land in such a short time. Added to income, the value of our squad has multiplied many-fold along the way.

All this achieved while the owners are squabbling. Our manager went into last summer not knowing his budget and only the sale of Brooks created funds to improve the squad and provide working capital. At least the owners recognised the need to compete at Championship level and at least retain our status there, while they dragged themselves and club affairs to the High Court.

Wilder made key signings then and in the JTW and, without exaggeration, performed a minor miracle. Automatic promotion was a pipe dream 12 months ago. We were 25/1 outsiders. Our wage budget was somewhere in the bottom third in the division.

What value Wilder has earned for the club. McCabe personally will have multiplied his shareholding value to recover some of the value lost steadily over the years. He wants to sell up and promotion to the Prem will help him gain so much more value. Maybe his biggest mistake ever has been to fall out with the Prince. I sincerely believe the Prince coming on board stopped us disappearing into obscurity and he has been key in the club's recovery.

Let us all hope the owners reward our manager appropriately. Let us hope they give him a proper budget straight away and give him time to do serious business this summer. Let's pray any ownership changes do not unsettle our manager or reduce his personal power base in our club.

Let's hope our fans are ready to tough out any hard times next season and we stay United come what may. Wilder could easily double/treble his wage by going elsewhere tomorrow. He's hot property right now and rightly so. Let's hope our owners know how to cope with this level of success and these loads of cash.
 
150 mill, we'll spunk it all away just like we did with the brooks moneh....pfzzzt
Look where that got us...o_O:rolleyes:
