I agree with city unfortunately media blinded me by utd suces on pitch
Ex staff have told me that it's worse than we see at utd... I know that they will be working good players will come in but how can keep letting best players go. Surley with new owners this will now change
I'll be honest I've always found the amount of emotion that goes into a transfer window curious, but appreciate I come at it from a neutral perspective.
Firstly, right now, everything is hypothetical. The hope, the panic, whatever it is, it's hypothetical. Nobody has left yet. Maybe Batlle, Russo and Earps will all go, maybe they'll stay, maybe it will be a mix, but right now it's all hypothetical. It's common knowledge due to when they started out United's budget is smaller than their rivals and with that so is their wage structure, which they've never been keen to break because they want to build sustainably. There will come a time though they get outgrown by their star players with that method and if that happens they either have to do away with it or start breaking the bank. Clubs can only plough in a certain percentage of income to their women, and United have missed out on important revenue other clubs now have, plus the prestige of trophies and UWCL football because they started late in 2018, when their three main rivals all already had a WSL title to their name.
But as I said when we did a podcast last summer, you can only judge a window at the end of it. There is always panic at the start of a window, United do their business quietly, then they announce all the players in a few weeks, as happened last year with Garcia, Le Tissier, Tounkara, Parris etc, and suddenly everyone's happy.,.or most are!
The key if you lose players is how you replace them and you can't judge that until September 6th, again, it's all hypothetical until then, all the rumours of ins and outs are until someone is seen holding up a shirt. If Batlle goes, they have an excellent replacement already in the squad in Jayde Riviere. As I said on our last podcast, it's a failure in recruitment if United can't replace the 10 league goals Russo scored. Lucia Garcia scored 8 as a winger largely from the bench! You lose a lot of other qualities if Russo goes, but if you want someone to score 15-20 goals in this league there are plenty out there. With Earps, I'm sceptical she will go. She has it as good as she has ever had it with United, she's under contract so United would have to buckle to that, and right now I don't see it.
No serious club abide by only invest certain amount
United are say miles ahead of spurs In terms of fanbase and viewing figures. But spurs have a bigger budget.
Unfortunately the current ownership do not support women's football. New ownership is hope they will break the wage structure. However with other parts of club in a mess women's may come last in prioritise
I do genuinely believe United have the ambition to succeed and thrive in the women's game based on what I hear, but they want it to be sustainable. I think they were naive/OTT on their initial five-year plan comments and perhaps underestimated the task given they were starting well on the backfoot compared to their rivals.

We'll reconvene in September!

Proof will be in the pudding.
