They want to refurbish old Trafford but there’s no way they are doing that unless they want to put another couple of billion worth of debt on the club.

One benefit to United being crap this season is that their matches with Leeds should be a bit more balanced.
Good, old-fashioned rivalry that's been spoiled by the disparity between the two teams. Leeds look like they're moving in the right direction and United have come down a peg or two. Game on.

Is that what's called a leveraged buyout?
Its like buying a house with an interest only mortgage in the hope capital increases will pay it off and provide profit when sold.
The loan is in their name and the relevant documents of ownership are in their name. They just used United's assets to secure the loan.
I'm surprised they were allowed to get away with a stunt like that. The response from the United board should have been "If you can't come up with the money from your own finances, how can you possibly afford to do anything to improve the club? How dare you disrespect our club with this proposition? Get out!"
The chairman of a football club is the trustee of an institution that means so much to so many people. He owes it to everyone who trusts in him to make sure that anyone he sells to has the best interests of the club at heart. Where was the chairman of this football club when this sale took place?
Glazers spend money they just have no long term goal or ideology. They should have brought in Poch and invested in new young talent and built an extremely fit attacking team. they have a history of buying old expensive has beens post ferdinand. Theres no long term project. They also have players that just arent top playrrs. Rashford for example. Bang average. fred. They remind me of Spurs 2008.
Glazers don't spend shit. United do. They're a money making machine. The Glazers are the definition of parasites, and long may it continue (I don't think it will).
Portrait of a club in crisis from an earlier era

How not to do things:
Charlton and Best - the manager O'Farrell just left them to it to sort their differences;
No we're not buying Shilton, Stepney plays golf with Sir Matt;
Crerand's past it - shit he's mates with Busby too;
Don't rate Morgan - oh FFS he plays golf with SMB too;
Charlton as club captain - hardly speaks to anyone;
Best is the greatest player we've ever had, let's not manage him;
Players want to see O'Farrell? Make an appt then
Blimey!!! How a team that won the title and European Cup in successive seasons manages to get relegated a few years later.
Just thinking - if you just looked at the years they didn't have Busby or SAF in charge, they really would be underwhelming
The feud between Best and Charlton that shattered Manchester United
By the early 1970s the warring club legends were so divided that they were no longer speaking – nor passing – to one another

Unless he went to the Goons, Chavs or Spammers, I can't hate Christian, he was easily one of our best players during the Poch era, and I have way more good memories than bad of him.
I'm trying to imagine a conversation with a United fan who's suddenly come round after being in a coma for 10 years.
"Yeah, Eriksen could have stayed at - checks notes - Brentford (?!?!?!?!?)"
"Last 2 results v , er, Brighton (?!?!?) 0-4 and 1-2 at home (?!?!?)
"Crowd booing at HT first game of season, and, er, fighting amongst the home fans?!?!?"
"You know that Dutch guy you were after all Summer? He's not signing"

I think the difference is with United that they have 'A' shares and 'B' shares
The Glazers hold all the B shares, which gets you voting rights and dividends - the A shares get you nothing really
A Man U fan once ask me what the point of supporting spurs was. That’s the level of count we are dealing with. I hope they leave their fans in tears for decades.
