The data in my post about the Man Utd financials are from 6/29/2022 Income Statement. Have to write it here because as a Newbie I can only post 3 times.

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us, honorable Mr mitchmouse. :) I think Mr Neville addresses an important point. I also think that it will be a very relevant success factor to make sure that the next owner of the club shows his face. People at least need to know who the responsible persons...

The numbers are right from the official income statement of Manchester United PLC. So what you're saying is basically that the official financial report is incorrect without delivering any arguments or evidence. :rolleyes: I don't say that what you're saying has to be wrong. But without any...

Then I'd recommend re-reading my prior post carefully, because Man Utd's "wage to turnover ratio" in 2020, 21 and 22 lies at 55.8%, 65.29% and 65.87%. But how high you want this key figure to be depends on what you expect. Where can I find the correct data that you refer to? Berkshire probably...

I'd wish you were right about the healthiness of Man Utd's business prospects. However, the reality is that the financials are not indicating a particularly sustainable business. I'll give you some concrete numbers from the Man Utd Income statement: (Currency in GBP. All numbers in thousands) 2019...

I have done further research on the topic and discovered some really relevant facts about Manchester United and the football business as a whole. As one in-depth analysis at seekingalpha.com pointed out: "In FY22 (June), employee benefit expenses made up 66% of total revenue, a primary reason...

I can’t reply in the thread because I’m newbie with less than 50 posts. But to answer your question about Mr Luckhurst: Wasn‘t the statement of the report that Tim Cook was considering Apple to acquire Man Utd? To me this is an assumption that can only be made reliably if someone has insight to...

It's not like the idea of Apple acquiring Man Utd wouldn't appeal to me as well. For the aforementioned reasons I just don't think that there is any chance this might actually happen. And it should be noted that Oaktree isn't faceless. You just don't know who Howard Marks is. But they are...

I agree with you. My last post's intention was just to draw a final line under the Apple speculations. If there's any interest in further in-depth analysis (from investors' point of view), I'll be happy to be at your disposal for sharing the results of my research on this topic As for the...

The debates about Apple Inc. buying Man Utd is a pure waste of time and every post suspecting a Man Utd buyout by Apple isn't worth the CO2 emission that's released by the energy it takes to post it. Btw beyond the sensationalist (I'm sorry to say that - with all respect) national dulling English...
