Have we paid in full for Hamer?
I'm guessing like most transfers we're paying the fee over the length of his contract over a maximum of three years, which I hadn't factored in.

Even if we had bought him for £15 then sold him for £22mil, in theory we've already paid £5 to Coventry, so we'd owe them £10mil, leaving us with £12mil in the pot. That should buy 2 or 3 quality players in the Championship.

Very dubious about us offering contracts to players who have suffered either

a) serious injury which has seen them be out for many months
Egan , RND

b) regular injuries
Osborn , McBurnie

Don't we already have enough such players on our books ?
Brewster , Tom Davies

I saw some Coventry fans on Facebook moaning that we still owed them £11mil. So your numbers are probably pretty close.

But we'll still be getting money from Ndiaye and Berge in the same way, so payments from them should cover Hamer etc.
So if we sell Hamer Souza and Anel we'll have a nice steady income per month for a good few years?

Yeah except we have history here don't we....hence the 2pt deduction....we don't seem to have been all that good in matching incoming payments with outgoing under the Prince !!

According to some everyone was going to be asking for us to largely pay upfront last summer due to us being poor payers?
I struggle to keep up with the doom sometimes and work out what’s true and what is just hugely negative bollocks.

I would suggest 75% of clubs have been in a situation similar to what we had last season, most get sorted before going over the edge as we did
 
For me and it’s only my opinion…..

If you want to send a clear message to the outside world that you’re getting your house in order ….

The retained and released list is communicated 9am Monday morning.

From first team right down to scholars signing pro etc.

If it’s not all decided we are just wasting days AGAIN that we simply don’t have

I know we never will, but I'd love to know the inner workings of United and how we're run and whether the cause for doom and gloom, and general mocking at how we're run, is merited.

Points deductions, transfer embargos, amazingly bad transfer windows where promotion somehow makes us weaker and embarrassingly bad performance in the league not enough evidence?
