So basically they made the club buy itself for them, without paying a penny themselves and with a ridiculous amount of interest. Literally bleeding the club dry. Wow.

@jsquared1013

Simon Bohan they're not bleeding the club dry. They are turning higher profits than ever and the club is now worth something like quadruple what they paid for it. The club is worth enough now that it could be sold and the debt paid in one lump sum and they'd still have tripled their investment. There is still an argument that they could re-invest more of their profits back into the club (stadium updates, transfer fees on the inflated current market, etc), but it isn't like the club is hurting for funds. They've even kept the ticket prices somewhat reasonable compared to some of the top six.

The Glazers purchase of Manchester United should have been illegal. There is no way they should have bought the club with borrowed money, and then put their debt on the club. They chose to borrow money to buy something, therefore the debt should lie with them alone.

TeamDestroyer There was a great article I read not long ago. A journalist was mildly annoyed noticing Old Trafford's WiFi cuts out in different parts of the stadium, then it dawned on him how stagnant United are in most areas. Clubs with money constantly upgrade their facilities. Before the Glaziers, Old Trafford expanded with new modern attachments. Their training ground, their academy, everything was cutting edge. That has stalled. On the pitch an overview of transfers highlights a priority to pay off debt instead of squad improvement during their initial takeover. All the better reason to praise Sir Alex's achievements under relative constraints. While Tottenham, Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Arsenal are building or have built state of the art grounds, training facilties with residential add-ons in some cases, Old Trafford remains the adequate $19 trousers. His content for mediocrity is only saved by United's massive profit revenue. The smaller % towards transfers and wages is substantial for a good manager in Mourinho but it's a smaller reinvestment compared to other rich clubs. A point so many just laughed off when José brought up the arms race with City and Barca. £1Billion of United's profit has gone towards the interest of the Glazers loan. Just the interest. Let that sink in. They are parasites.

It’s inconsequential. The glazers have refinanced their debt so many times the payments are super low.

It says a lot about SAF to still have success despite the Leveraged buyout clause. If any one else was in charge during that period, then Man Utd would've had a Leeds-style financial meltdown.

Tifo does Football economics so well. Man U is an example of keeping up with the Joneses but I get why it has to be done. it makes the Ferguson era all the more incredible. I think he should have coached the English team, so much potential unfulfilled . The debt brought by the Glazer family seems insurmountable when put into perspective. I wonder if Tifo could do a video on Stadium attendance in top flight European football. From highest matchday attendance to ticket prices etc.

The common relocation of teams in the USA can make it politically toxic to oppose a gigantic welfare check for the billionaire's stadium. My hometown of Indianapolis spent ludicrous amounts of money on the new (at the time) NFL stadium while the old one was still being paid off. On top of that, there's the public subsidies for the NBA basketball arena which is currently world class but is about to get millions and millions in upgrades.

3:30 solid pickit sign

That's the reason I don't want Glazers to own man utd. I don't mind them not investing in the club but taking money out which could have been invested for the better of the club. Plus big money signings were unheard of during the Glazers' era until their patriarch died in 2014.

Can you guys do a series on the best football Derbies/Rivalries? I could think of a lot of such fixtures that we'd love to watch...

Very interesting video. The Glazers were never a viable option to buy the shares being sold in 2005 if they were going to do it with a large debt included but really, if they fell out with Sir Alex, there wasn't much of a reason for them to care about the state of the club after. The main problem now is that you can't really see them leaving the club or selling their shares because nobody realistically has the billions of pounds to spare to buy them out. I don't think I'd mind the debt that they bought it on if they had the club's best interest at heart by keeping some of the money in the club to get us out of the pit of bad managers quicker.

You should add on their intent to put Man Utd in the US Stock Exchange last year or two, which is a gamble for a football-owned team when the intent was reported in the public.

@dinkostoyanov786

The club's situation is different to what it was a decade ago, on field success only contributes to a relatively average amount of money compared to the clubs other sources of income. Theoretically United can finish 6th every season for a decade and still be somewhat financially healthy, which means that they don't actually need something of a renaissance to previous Fergie-era success. Plus putting the club on the US Stock Exchange will only add to the multiple sources of income united are starting to create for themselves, it is a frugal and safe practice that has made United invincible to the eyes of finance.

I'm genuinely confused as to why leveraged buy outs are even legal. It's very risky for the lenders, but that is their call I guess. The FA should ban the hell out of it though.
