Is debt scuppering Fergie’s transfer plans?
The announcement by Sir Alex Ferguson that he may only sign one more player this summer must have been met by bemusement by Manchester United fans.
After all, despite losing the Premier League title by just a point, a series of poor results during the campaign revealed a squad that relied too much on Wayne Rooney and the aging legs of Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes.
The United manager has already signed Mexican forward Javier Hernandez from Guadalajara and defender Chris Smalling from Fulham, but they are hardly the big buys acquisitions many United supporters were expecting.
However, at a recent press conference Ferguson said: “There may be one signing and maybe we’d like to get a good player to the club, of course, but it’s not easy in the present day climate.
“In the market today it’s very difficult and the structure of our squad is good in terms of ages, the balance, the numbers and there’s a lot of good young players.
“Sometimes you have to trust in all the development of the last few years and I’m going to stick with that, or most of it.”
Now this could be just a clever ruse from Fergie to lower expectations and hopefully stop other clubs from grossly overinflating the transfer fees of United targets.
Still, with the news that an interest rate increase could see the club’s debt increase by a further £75 million also breaking this week, it’s hard to imagine the two stories are unrelated.
At a time where Manchester City are rising as a credible Premier League force and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has pledged to fund a summer splurge, investment in the playing squad at Old Trafford has never been as crucial. The football odds suggest United will challenge for the title next season, but without new faces they could still struggle.
Worryingly, unless Ferguson gets his transfer dealings done before the start of the 2010 Football World Cup, he might find the targets he does have are even more expensive than before.
A summer of inertia could see the club slip further behind their London rivals, or worse fall behind local rivals City. If that proves the case, expect vociferous green and gold protests aimed at the Glazers when the season kicks off next August.
