Are Manchester United screwed?

The trouble with making jokes about potential disasters is that when they come true, you're torn between the urge to shout 'I told you so' and, depending on your social stereotype, the urge to cry / pray / drink / blow yourself up.

At Manchester United, by no means are we near any financial disasters, but that will be the talk of the town after United backed out of the Adem Ljajic deal.
