Is what's estimated we will have to pay in interest charges if the deal go's through.
Furious Manchester United fans are launching a range of club merchandise to bolster a fighting fund to oppose Malcolm Glazer's takeover.
The red and white wristbands bearing the slogan "Not For Sale" will go on sale next week.
They have been produced by the supporters' group Shareholders United.
Profits from sales will go towards undermining the takeover and cut merchandising income to the American millionaire.
Shareholders United vice chairman Sean Bones said 100,000 bands had already been manufactured and would go on sale at an official launch.
Hundreds of fans have been protesting outside Old Trafford through the weekend.
Mr Bones said: "We are not going to take this lying down. We want to show Glazer and the club we have the means to produce merchandise ourselves.
"Our products have the real support of the fans and if we can affect the revenues the club makes through merchandising, we can really hit Glazer where it hurts."
He added that the group had already taken an order for 2,000 wristbands from Denmark.
Fans are also plotting a series of protests and there are fears the FA Cup final against Arsenal on Saturday could be delayed.
Mr Glazer is on the brink of taking complete control of the club. He now has control of 74.81% of the club's shares. The crucial threshold is 75%.
The London Stock Exchange has confirmed that it is possible for shares in the club to be traded over the weekend.
Glazer, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has revealed he will carry £265m of borrowings into the deal, which values United at £790m.
Mr Glazer will stump up £272m of his own money for the takeover bid.
It has been calculated that the club will have to pay interest of £126,000 a day on the amount of debt it will be saddled with if the takeover goes ahead.
