Deep-Dive into Man Utd finances | Why Br...

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Rio and Joel are joined by a Professor of football finance, Kieran Maguire to analyse Manchester United’s financial position after they announced their “financial transformation plan". Maguire discusses the potential ’naivety’ shown by INEOS, the impact of the job losses on the club’s PSR and details the moves made by the hierarchy that have caused the most damage to the club’s finances.


The trio also discuss how much the Glazers are hampering Man Utd’s performances with the way the debt from their purchase in 2005 is being serviced.


Rio discusses the inadvertent effect of PSR on the way clubs are looking to sell their academy products before analysing the team’s performance in the 2-2 draw with Everton. You’ll hear why Bruno Fernandes is being ‘disrespected’ and Rio gives some advice for the squad in a bid to improve their confidence.
