The PLC made us no more open to a takeover than being a private company. If anything it made it harder.

Edwards was going to sell United anyhow. All he wanted was the right money, and had Micheal Knighton got his figures right, he would have done what Glazer has done.

THe club is for sale now, as long as the right money is put forward. Everyone has a price. Glazer found out what Coolmore wanted and he agreed to pay it. If someone comes along and offers the right money GLazer will sell up.

Being a PLC is not the reason United are in the shit with the debts. The reason is purely Glazer offered way more than he can afford, and he is expecting the fans to repay it. He could have done the same if the club was a private company.
