that is just poor journalism - it was commented on in these threads at the time.Could be wrong - but here's an article claiming he bought 7.85% (over 3m shares) in 2012.
The reporting is off. 3M shares are about 8 percent of the 39M Class A shares, but that percentage does not reflect the 124M Class B shares. So-Soros owns about 2 percent of United (3M/163M).Could be wrong - but here's an article claiming he bought 7.85% (over 3m shares) in 2012.
Could he? Where?Cool - quite a strange buy from him given he could've made money much faster elsewhere for the same exposure.
All kinds of asset classes. We're in the middle of a multiple year bull market (well until this past week that is). 20% is decent, but there was no evidence it would be worth hanging on the stock during Moyes' tenure. There are stocks that make 50-100% gains (GPRO, TSLA and others) over short periods of time where he could've easily picked up more money - not that he needs it.Could he? Where?
If he held onto the stock till it was over 19 he would have made an awfully big percentage.
he bought at c.$13 in August and could have sold c.$19 by Feb - that's a 45% uplift in 6 months!Cool - quite a strange buy from him given he could've made money much faster elsewhere for the same exposure.

Which doesn't majorly affect share prices in the long run, we've only floated a certain % on the market iirc?I know only know that we sign players for big and sell for few
We spend too much in wages considering the quality of the players we have in the squad
Great marketing strategies, bad strategies during the transfers

Our total revenue is growing. The price drop has mostly to do with the pound dropping. The fact that we started paying out a dividend in 2016 is probably a factor, as well.Our stock price, like any other stock price is based on our income and cash flows. The price we saw a year ago was based on assumption that we will qualify for CL in 2016-17, at least it seemed likely but we didn't. We lost a significant amount of revenue. At this time the speculation of us missing it again causing us to lose revenue from CL as well as adidas will make our stock plummet longer we stay outside of top 4.
Stock prices are a reality, especially for mature firms like ours.
Hah, dominating Sporting CP once again.
Are you wearing a hat decorated with corks on string?I have not looked, but I bet Brexit dinged the stock a good bit.
Pound is our presentation currency as well as our functional currency. It's the same for all our subsidiaries except the one in Ireland. Just to put things into perspective, our operating expense in the last quarter of 2016 is almost the same as last quarter of 2015.Our total revenue is growing. The price drop has mostly to do with the pound dropping, therefore increasing expenses. The fact that we started paying out a dividend in 2016 is probably a factor, as well.
Up 10 % since this time last year so there's that.-20% in 1 yr.

Would be far more useful to see comparisons with other listed sports clubs instead of tech behemoths.Tweet

is this a troll post?The glazers need to start prioritising the shareholders now. We've spent 100s of millions and still achieved feck all. There's no point. Tighten the purses, become sustainable and deliver value to the stock holders.
