I have enough hatred for them and the Glazers.
The Times: Glazers could sell share of future TV income
- Thread starter Ted Lasso
- Start date
These clowns are going to leave the club in ashes by the time they're done.
At least Barca kept the money in the club. You just know that these feckers will skim off the top.
It’s been like that the last 10 days. The Times have had some very pro Jim articles - he’s playing this blindingly well so far
This literally isn’t true. It says they made a deal like that with Liga MX, nothing to do with us.
Yep, sabotage the remaining assets enough that the asset itself loses its attraction to potential buyers. These gator feckers are abominable.
£200 million to fund expansion and improve training ground seems very cheap no? Considering the costs seen similar refurbishments...
Then you see the claims they spent 100 million plus on the stadium to move the disabled section and to bring in safe standing.. I don't think 200 is going to get us 15k more seats...

What a bunch of palancas!!
Is this materially different from taking out a loan to redo the stadium?
Would ruin the club going down this route (a la Barca) and would also sabotage a future sale to people who aren't idiots.
Oh I’m loving this
Why?Oh I’m loving this
I agree with Everything you said except the bolded part, The Glazers are indeed a greedy leeches but they are also incompetent businessmen, and I'll explain why they are stupid.
United generated huge revenues in the post SAF era, yet, they (the Glazers) watched the club decline in football terms, just imagine if we were successful on the pitch between 2014-2022, or at least competing for the PL and regularly featuring in deep CL runs, United might've generated even more or even hit the 1B mark (in 2019 revenues were £627M, despite lack of success).
From the Athletic
So, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the Glazers, who watched a cash cow like United decline, would consider selling TV rights,
Would the Super League be on Sky Sports or would they try to move it all onto a streaming platform of their own? TV income probably wouldnt matter.
Did someone say 'levers'? Mortgaging our future. Again. Glazers that.
Selling off the silverware before scuttling off with the money. These cnuts are everything that's wrong in the world right now. Poster boys for a corrupt ruling class.
Stuff like this makes me want us to keep losing games. I fear that once we win a few games, and especially after all these signings, fans will ease up the pressure on the Glazers.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, who supports these parasites is either an idiot or not a United fan. They'll ruin this club
They already have. It's just a matter of how much more damage can they do before they're forced out.
Ramsey Bolton, is that you?
They could but if they did there would be riots. We are nowhere near as stupid or naive as the Barcelona fans seem to be, nor would any fan in their right mind accept the future of the club being gambled by a bunch of hedge fund investors.
They've damaged it but this can literally ruin our ability to recover from their shitshow of an ownership. Proper scorched Earth approach.
In a way, I'm happy this is coming out now, so the pressure doesn't decrease. They need to be thrown out like the plague that they are
This. Misleading headline.
I would be totally okay with them selling a stake and using it for infrastructure. Selling future income is a big no no.
Just fecking sell the club and feck off somewhere.
Absolute disgrace, fans should invade the pitch and stay until games are called off. Even if docked points how can people put up with this insolence.
They’ve clearly seen the stunts Barca have pulled and thought we’ll have a bit of that, it’s time to get rid of them before things get worse, hope the game ends up called off Monday
Oh boy
A reminder as a fanbase we can't get blinded by shiny new toys. This issue needs resolving as soon as possible, or things are going to get even worse.
This should not be allowed to happen.
This kind of practice needs to be banned, it’ll no doubt be adopted by some PL clubs in the future. It’s dangerous, easy to abuse, and could lead to clubs eventually going under.
These guys are going to feck the club up
At this point I'd actually want us to get relegated if it means having these owners out. I'm that desperate for a change. Rather have one year of misery than who knows how many more.
Is anybody surprised by them wanting to sell future TV rights. I said in the De Jong thread as soon as Barcelona started to pull levers, it would give the Glazer's ideas. Hopefully the Premiet League has rules against this. There is no guarantee that the money raised will be reinvested back into the club, the rumours are that any money raised by selling a minority share of the club is just going into the Glazer's pockets.
Yes it does as it ties any future owners hands. The debt on the other hand will feck off the moment the Glazers leave
Feckin levers!! 
A loan debt would be on the club surely?

Have made no comment on the club being for sale though…
When such huge deals are done, the fee would usually be reported as £Xbn, including debt. So the net proceeds to the Glazers will be whatever is agreed minus the money needed to pay off the debt (they saddled us with in this case).
The reason it didn't happen with Chelsea is because Roman wrote it off.
We're in the levers business now gents. Welcome to the top.
Jim! Help us Jim, they have learned from Laporta, we're all doomed!
In all seriousness, this is more evidence that the Super League is making a comeback.
