I always ask myself why they can't terminate the contract and sell this players out for any reasonable amounts because we can't get rid of them anytime soon and they're drowning the clubs finances. Just imagine what the guys are on and they could have easily gave Osimhen a lesser salary than when you combined just this two salary, what about others.
Contract termination only benefits the players and their agents: the club will be forced to pay salaries for the remaining contract years and bonuses (which we no longer pay), as well as pay for breach of contract, while the player will be free to join another club and pocket signing fees, leaving Chelsea with nothing. They may not be playing for us, but we are receiving loan fees and paying half salary for the remainder of their contract, which is preferable to termination.
We could still sell them and recover all the wages wasted on them all these years before 2027.
Ok wait... What exactly is a 'classic manager'? The kind of manager who'll get established players in? With how crazy the transfer market since the oilers money came in the world of football, good luck with that. That would mean it's going to be a bigger gamble to splash the cash and it flops. It would be better to get an Arteta type of manager or even somebody like Poch to rebuild the club.
But yeah... I don't think the more proven managers will not touch United. They could try a guy who won't care if he fails tho, like Ancolleti?
Man it wouldn't change anything; they're still splashing heavily on players with these modern managers and it's not working, why not try the classic ones like Conte, Ancelotti and co instead? After all they're not into U21 project like Chelsea.
