I think you're spot on there to be honest and I do wonder where MUST will be in a year, 3 years and 5 years.
I'm going to make a predicition that the Glazers will still own the club and be very successful despite the fact that they will have used alot of money to reduce their debts. MUST will still be complaining about how much money the Glazers have taken out.
This does however lead me to a scenario I would like the Pro-MUST parties to consider, how would you feel if...
In 10 years time, the Glazers are still in charge.
The team has remained competetive, lets go on our average of the last 20 years, we win 5 League Titles, 1 Champions League Title, 3 Carling Cups and an FA Cup.
We have managed to buy the odd marquee player a la Berbatov, Rooney, Veron in the past and kept spending at our average rate of around £25m net each year.
The Glazers have managed to increase our profits year upon year as they have been doing for the last 5 years.
But they have spent a large portion of it on paying off interest on the debt and they started the inevitable of paying off large chunks of the debt.
The ticket prices keep increasing in the same sort of arc they are now.
So in summary, we are successful on the field and are raking it in off the field which is somewhat at our expense as supporters but the Glazers have spent a large amount of money paying off interest and paying off the debt. This does however leave them in a position where their debt is reduced significantly which in turn has started to free up the profits making our club, or the Glazers, somewhat rich again.
To summarise the summary (
) In ten years, we have been successful and our debt has been reduced but this has come at a cost of taking profits away from the club.
