Moyes` sacking to cost Man United more than 200 mln-pound loss

London: Experts have estimated that David Moyes being sacked as Manchester United coach would cost the club more than 200 million-pounds.

An accountant has predicted that United will face a slump worth 50 million-pounds in revenues due to the club`s absence from next season`s Champions League. Moreover, the club would suffer another 150 million-pounds loss in revenue, which Moyes` replacement would demand in order to rebuild the United squad, the Guardian reported. The estimated 200 million-pound loss to United might reportedly be mitigated slightly if the team qualifies for the Europa League. The estimated 50 million-pound loss, consisting of television rights, prize money and gate receipts with the cost of running the club remaining relatively constant, United`s operating profit is reportedly speculated to be affected directly. Speculations are that United would have to spend over 150 million-pound in transfer fees to rebuild the team, the report added. Also United is expected to spend even more money with football finance`s rule of thumb saying that 100 million-pounds of transfer fees costs a club 200 million-pounds when one includes wages over four-year contracts, the report added.
