And they’re back. 3-3. Lovely match cool
Sweet game!

English Championship is an extremely difficult league. Leeds started very well but they lost steam around March. Derby, Westbrom and Villa have all got excellent style of play but only one of them can make it to the EPL.

Trust me, when it comes to transfer or anything football related, most people on here are more knowledgeable than ED. The man is clueless.
Lmao! What do you know about football transfer?

Ed Woodward is an ex-investment banker that have done loads of M&A deals. He is not a novice when it comes to closing deals. It is not his fault that the recruitment side of United have been shiit or for example are you blaming Woodward for signing players that Mou wanted (Fred and Sanchez)?

It is the job of the scouting team and the manager to review targets... Woodward only has to lead the team that work on them deals. Hopefully Woodward will not be the scapegoat when we get a DoF.

Nevertheless, his love for marque signings is worrying but it is understandable as he is also in charge of the business side of the club.

Ed wants to turn the club into an to Old Boys Association.
Barca and Bayern have both got old boys in important positions, there is nothing wrong with bringing back former players. We can get an experience DoF and get Fletch or Rio to work with the DoF.

As a rule do not buy anything from the scummies no matter how well packaged the deal is.we shouldn’t even sell to them before they trick us with swap deal and give us Jones for Mustafi.

Mr. Financial Analyst... I thought you were debating based on your Finance 101 expertise, how come valuable information relating to financial figures are all of a sudden irrelevant??

Did you deliberately skip the parts I wrote “Overtime “ ? Or where I said it’s a gradual process?
Are you switching your position on "City is more valuable than United"?

You mentioned that United is on a decline but the club is posting increasing/record revenues year after year and I explained the reason for the loss recorded in the last financial year which the wishy washy report that you are parading decided to ignore in their evaluation.

Taking into consideration that a material part of City's revenue is through some shady related company investments/commercial deals make your claim laughable.

Based on sound financial analysis from the financial report of both teams there is no way that City is valuable or richer than United.

thorrvik55:
The 7th placed EPL team also qualifies for Europa...

Example; Burnley this season, they finished 7th last season and crashed out during d playoffs vs olympiacos I think...
It was because the winners/losing finalists of the two domestic cups in England for that season qualified for the Champions league (an European competition) via their league position. Therefore, the slot is passed down based on the league table.

Finance 101. Calm down!

Most valuable and richest are almost the same in finance. Some institutions say being rich is by revenue, but the fact is your market capitalisation (if you are a listed company) or fair/net asset valuation tells us how rich your company or entity is.

Only reason your report is saying something different from Forbes' is the valuation methodologies adopted.

I would go for Forbes' rather than a report from one riff raff entity or person. We all know that Forbes has been doing this sh1t for a very long time.
Finance 101... concluding based on one year result. grin

You go fear CFA certified financial/investment analyst... lmao

dude na finance 101 I give u so. You can take it or leave it. Reason Forbe’s categorically said RICHEST while the BBC report says VALUABLE. These things are used to track the progress or decline of coys. Coys don’t just close down in one day series of bad results make them close down. Take Diamond Bank for example, u can take Leeds United too. I never said City is richer than United today.

If u are to invest today will u invest with a coy posting losses?

Manchester United as of today is not as valuable as Man City simple.
Lol!

Check my last post for the reason why United posted losses in the last financial year.

Finance 101... lmao! No need to dey make noise..

Also there is a need to review the performance of a company over a period of time. Investment decisions are not made based on the report of one year. There is a reason why in financial statements/reports results for at least 5 years are shown to give users of financial statements ample information.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by olabode89(m): 4:31pm On May 04, 2019
kokaneprodigy:
when you talk about rich you are valuing assets + money in the bank.
Valuable is actually looking at ur investment decisions against ur profits.
Reason the report talked about revenue vs profit.

You don’t expect City to beat United’s wealth over night.

Reason I said it’s a gradual process. It’s bad investment decisions overtime that makes u start selling those valuable assets and eventually become poor like Leeds United.

U dig?
This is the reason why I said you should look deep into this wishy washy report. Below are the revenue, profit before taxation and profit after taxation for both teams

City
Revenue - 500M
Profit before taxation - 10M
Profit/(loss) after taxation - 10 M (note that City didn't pay corporate tax because they have tax credits as a result of huge losses accrued over the huge expenses the club incurred over the years)

United

Revenue - 590M
Profit before taxation - 26M
Profit/(Loss) after taxation - (37)M
Reason for the loss -
The US federal corporate income tax rate reduced from 35% to 21% following the substantive enactment of US tax reform on 22 December 2017. This necessitated a re-measurement of the existing US deferred tax position in the period to 31 December 2017. As a result the tax expense for the year ended 30 June 2018 includes a non-cash tax accounting write off of £48.8 million. Accordingly, this has resulted in a loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 and basic and diluted loss per share.

kokaneprodigy:
There’s a difference between richest and valuable.
In this scenario they are basically the same thing.

There is no where else apart from this sub par report, where City is valued more than United.

As as June 30 2018, the cut off period used in the report United had a higher net asset value, more revenue and more profit. You should note that City has zero debt and zero associated finance costs.

This one is for the “is it your money” crew, las las your club will go the way of Leeds United. It’s a gradual process.

Watch this space.
Did you read the article before running here to troll like a sex starved house wife?

Hope you know that this report was based on the work of some lecturer with little accolades or notoriety in Sports finance and it was based on a model developed by one of the guys in charge of the company that owns Football manager game franchise.

Come back to troll when a more renowned entity like Deloitte who is in charge of the "Deloitte money league" and Forbes release their report.

Below is the current ranking by Forbes

Not exactly....resturcituring won't do much.

The problem is, we have to find money for the schools. Restructuring won't change that.

At the same time, we have to raise standards. Restructuring won't change that.

By the way, there are a lot of good doctors in Nigeria who did not go to UI. Especially abroad. I should know...I am a doctor.

Finland has the best educational system, yet every ground breaking advancement in tech and engineering is has been done by Americans.

Maybe they should start by telling us the number of Nobel Laureates that the country produce. Even small country like Israel Trump them in every front.
3 Nobel Laureates! For a country with a historically low population of about 5.5 million, that is not a bad number. These are their 3 Nobel Laureates

Where is the Finland embassy please?
And how do I apply for a visa?
People knowledgeable about this should help out.
Thanks
You came late to the party!

The best route was through BSc. Or MSc. Studies when they had free tuition for everyone. You could still apply though, they offer full/partial scholarship for some programs. IT related programs are the best bet for foreigners.

There is a thread here on nairaland for prospective students looking to study in Finland.

I would be happy for him to stay if he signed a new contract and not demand Sanchez salary. He's been great when most of the team has been poor in past seasons and is going through a very bad season. But his head is obviously somewhere else so I'm ok for him to be sold.
He should be sold! He is not a modern GK.

Poor aerial control

He cannot pass out of the back effectively

Poor in keeping set pieces.

Poor in controlling his area and coming out to get the ball.


He is only an excellent shot stopper with his hands and foot.
