I think it may have something to do with the debt and rather high ticket price increases. It'll be interesting to see what they do this summer with regards to ticket prices actually.
Not really. If barely any fans turned up in the stadium (Wouldn't happen anyway, I think the best we can hope for is to maybe get it down to about 50k - still 26k empty seats and a hell of a lot of money being lost) I'm sure the team would still cope. They'd realise why it was happening. And with still enough fans in the stadium which outnumbers that of most other PL grounds, the team could still get that vocal support.
I don't see why boycotting the club has to lead to an immediate decline. I don't think it would. But it would affect matchday revenue which accounts a large part of our revenue.
I'm not going to bash you or anything, divisiveness is not something I'm interested in getting involved in really.
Again it's not really being able to get the funds together, he probably can. They've said, or it's been reported, that they've had pledges totalling £1.5bn, so it does seem to have some credence to it.
The value of the club and football is increasing season on season however, so the longer the Glazers can keep hold of it, the bigger their profit will eventually be. They're due to pay some of the PIK's off in August I think, but how much I don't know.
Then it's just finding £500m to pay the bonds in 2017. And we all know who'll be paying for that.
