Believe it or not, there are already a few threads about the Glazers, and the debt.

As far as I know, we get about £30m prize money from UEFA for winning the CL. The higher figure takes into account things like future sponsorship deals (AIG, Nike, etc. will pay more to be associated with the European Champions), player valuations (CL winning players are more expensive to purchase), merchandising, etc. And there's not that much difference in prize money between winning the CL (us) and coming in second (not us).
