Another fantastic interview that explains a lot about our current f’ed up situation! Great job Joe!

[@brianoreilly239]

As an avid United supporter since the early 60 I find this whole sale saga quite depressing . Post Busby in the early 70s was awful resulting in relegation in '74 The 70/80s were bearable but Liverpool winning leagues and European Cups regularly often put a dampner on the odd cup win we had then. Along comes Fergie and after a rocky start he turns us into an unbelievable winning machine due to his commitment and work ethic.I often wonder what he must be thinking about how all his hard work in making United the global attraction we became under his guidance is now being wasted by greedy parasites far away in USA.

[@_MrL_]

I’ve been a fan since the early 70’s … I remember Busby’s final game, it was terrible back then. Useless Frank and George Best in self destruct. Relegation and promotion with Tommy - up until Fergie, he was my favourite Manager. Utd wasn’t a popular team to support at my school. Liverpool were unstoppable and Man City were mostly above us and spending more than us. But, back then it was honest! I was at the 76’ cup final when Southampton beat us 1-0. Watched the 77’ final on TV and after beating Liverpool 2-1, I thought we’d made it. Then Docherty fired and Sexton was a waste of space. We have always been a soap opera. I blame Martin Edwards for cashing out and letting the Glazers in. He wasn’t liked, but he was good for the club. He sold off his dads legacy when he didn’t need to. After years of the Glazers … I wish that Edwards had been more loyal to the club and his dad despite the fans. I think it was the fans fault he cashed out. Everything after that has been smoke and mirrors at the Glazers ATM. Fergie was amazing to do so much with so little … but in reality he powered their ATM machine. Once he retired the wheels have been falling off. We’ve had no investment in infrastructure, no investment in facilities and we’ve had a circus of bad decisions, bad coaching and bad signings. The club is the most toxic I’ve seen it. I’m praying for a miracle … I’m praying for the GLAZERS to sell so we can once again be run as a serious football club and not as a debt ridden cash cow!

[@joekavanagh7171]

​@@_MrL_I've been a supporter since 1963, and we've never had good owners in all that time. Martin Edwards was the first director to take a salary from the club. I don't agree that he was good for the club.

[@_MrL_]

@@joekavanagh7171 when Edwards was there, I was a hater, I was happy he cashed out! … the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence … the other side of the fence was a hostile share grabbing Malcolm Glazer who ridiculously financed his takeover by saddling us with huge debt, then in 2006 we got his infighting muppet children! … it has seriously spiralled into a circus since then. Compared to the Glazers, I now think I was wrong about Edwards. On reflection, and compared to the current owners, and for the fact he got us Fergie, I now think he was good by comparison and wish he’d stayed to keep the debt and the parasitic Glazers out.

[@georgebrobbey6882]

This interview pretty much solidified my approach to United as a fan the last two years. I’ve been a fan of United since 1997 but the more I’ve seen and read about the Glazers in the last 5-6 years,it’s clear this club is never going to be challenging for trophies post-Fergie because of the Glazers. Being a United fan is great but at the same time it’s an embarrassment because the Glazers use this club as their own ATM. Owners who don’t reinvest in the club are not in it for football and they are failing their fanbase. Folks love Man United from afar. Stop putting money in the pockets of these unserious owners. Stop following their social media platforms and stop buying their jerseys. The Glazers year after year they are disrespecting their fans both in Manchester and abroad.

[@fearlessformidableferociou8623]

a) 16 trophies were win under their full ownership, irrespective of SAF, we're talking about the owners, b) They're business ppl, coz footy is big business as you're well aware, so they don't care about a left back, centre back or right back...their only concern is the green back, c) Every fan that decides to support Man Utd, does so out of his / her own volition, I mean no one had a gun against his / her head to support the club, d) Let freedom reign from the centre circle of the Emi to the leaky roof of OT, so if you ain't happy with the way the club is ruin, oops, run...the Etihad is only a couple of miles away, or there might even be a ssn ticket seat with your name on at Carrow Rd...ok my good friend...respect 🤝

@@fearlessformidableferociou8623 Appreciate the response and the small little jokes in between lolol. Completely agree, fans are free to do what they want but I wanted to put it into context that the Glazer family are laughing at us. This club is their ATM and that’s it. It’s extremely insulting how they treat this club and it’s right in our faces. Even as a disenchanted MUFC fan, I’m first a fan of the game PERIOD! So my Saturdays and Sundays are watching matches from across the top 5 European leagues. As for your City comment, I’ll never root for City. Never EVER LOL. Some United fans might hate me saying this but IDC, I’ve been following this club and football in general since before some of them were born. I dislike City but to a degree I give their owners props because, they’re run like an actual FOOTBALL club. They have the right people in the right positions, making the right football decisions. Regardless of how much money and spending power a club has, you still need a concept (style of play/philosophy) and competence to run a top flight football club that can challenge for trophies every year.

The crowd sang songs mocking him having a stroke, when he died the call from the director of communications was to keep the vitriol to a minimum.

And that price is what the Glazers have made through their own mismanagement of the club over the span of their ownership.

[@anthonyduffy6953]

The only way the club goes up in value is if the infrastructure is maintaned inline with other clubs. But our stadium and training ground need heavy investment, as do the womens team and youth stadium if we get one. Thebglasers have no interest in investing in these things. They cannot realistically expect the club to gonup in value without any investment in these areas and then areas are only scratching the surface with the way they have mis managed every department of the club.

[@XboneMalone]

The problems the Glazers have, if they remain, are only going to iteratively reduce the value of Utd given how they will continue to run the club. No investment in the ground, if continued the costs increase to potential bidders (whether that takes the form of redevelopment or building a new one) = lower offer. Same goes for the training facilities. No sizeable reduction in debt, means interest payments will rise as interest rates increase = lower offer from potential bidder (since there'll be punitive charges for paying off early as the Glazers will never dream of doing that, so sign up to maybe get a lower rate). No significant changes of fortune on the pitch, due to their ownership, means lower income from sponsorship = lower offer from potential bidders. TV rights will at best remain static, and TV income from Champions league is directly linked to on pitch performance. Again a lower offer. Then there's the fan unrest and the unpredictability as to how that manifests, but that won't put the club in a good light and even could mean that it continues following change of ownership (depending upon who that may be) = lower offer. All of this adds up in the eyes of the buyer, not to mention revamping the staff behind the scenes that they will inevitably want to do, as it won't just be a hiring fest (admittedly a small sum compared to others mentioned, but time is money and that means delays on projects/goals/action). The trust fund morons don't have a clue, but they'll only realise when it's too late for Utd.

[@scoobylol1987]

All enjoyment is literally being monetised out of football year on year with extreme wealth and debt like this. And given that the owners can't even fix the bastard roof I doubt they'll be able to afford the IT infrastructure for virtual reality and shirt cams, let alone impliment it at a fair price for fans. They're taking a huge gamble on things that may well never materialise, and all by lumping huge layers of unsustainable debt on the club. There's also the question of whether more digital gimmicks are even a positive in football. VAR has been a shambles since the day it came in, how are they going to do shirt cams for one team who could then potentially use that footage to contest refereeing decisions if the opposition don't have it? This novelty Americanisation of the sport really will be the death of it.

SAF is the reason the Glazers own the club.

[@zerothree332]

Very True

[@deffy.log10]

I hope Shiek walks away... This will trigger massive protests against these Glazer parasites!!! With the current affairs of the club, the value will drop dramatically in a few months.. Than the Shiek can come back with a lower bid...

[@The_Mass_Debator]

They literally don’t care about protests

[@acelectricalsecurity]

It's worth what someone will pay, the stock market values it at £3b, Newcastle was technically sold for £1.3b. As for Chelsea their pitch maybe in a desirable location but it's practically worthless, because of the pitch owners.

Ah I see that Kieran is a man of culture as well. Lovely shirt.

[@dipeshjaisipoudel9543]

Players are not only leaking the news, its corruption. players are underperforming and are involved in betting and are intentionally influencing the results. THEY ARE CORRUPT.

[@Gregg4886]

There’s 11 people at United that could really do us a favour here….player protests. What are they going to do? The fans would be behind them 100%

[@11Pyze]

Untied fans begging for middle eastern money is pure comedy.

[@mynature110]

The Glazers bought a brand. They have no interest in improving the value of the club through trophies, stadium rebuilds, training facilties or player development. They don't even care what departing players are sold for. They are just going to keep drawing down cash while they wait for their brand's value to increase through the financial evolution of the sport due to growing Saudi involvement and technological advances. If they are not careful, the club's brand value will decline through the chaos that their inaction is causing and 5 billion will seem like an impossible dream. Meanwhile the greatest club in British football is turned into a mediocre shitshow. The signs are everywhere you look.😢

[@Boy10Dio]

been telling these utd fans that the club is worth 10b in a sale to any legitimate businessman. if you think it's impossible for a football club to be worth that then you haven't given modern football much thought. KZbin accountants were flaming me, like i set the prices for these things.

[@creepingbrain]

Out of all the mega-wealthy people and entities in the world, only two have made bids, both at £5-5.5b. So clearly the club is not worth anything like £10b. Will it be worth that sort of money in the future, of course.

[@MrGts92]

Tbh majority of fans only care about damage from the ownership during the transfer window. Once that closes all the blame will be on the manager, despite the fact for the last decade the off pitch issues have had a knock on effect on pitch. Yet we never learn and pick apart the coach and one or two players.

[@pubstomper8959]

thats not their plan at all, here in north america we know they want to sell united to bolster the buccaneers hence even the cheapest nfl team is worth 10b, so no its not cause its not a sufficient offer its because they wanna put all profits from united in to the buccaneers. american football just makes more money for them especially when it comes to taxes.

[@karldale9217]

It's a saga that is going to role on and on while giving the fans hope they are gonna sell, just can't see it happening why would they sell .. no reason at all 😭

[@andrewpearson8216]

Let's face it, the club was , has never been on the market. Your commentator, McGuire is correct it was an expression of interest. That's it! There are not very many that can afford our club outright and it is not worth what the Glazers think it is and when they finally find that out we will be a second division club!

[@ChristianHeid7]

Owners are ALLOWED to put in 90 million goes to improve FFP DIRECTLY. Glazers could have done that PER year!

[@creepingbrain]

Acceptable deviation [that can be covered by equity contribution by owners] is just £17m a year for UEFA FFP. It's more for PL FFP, but if we we're competing in Europe then it's the more restrictive UEFA regs that we have to comply with.

[@ChristianHeid7]

@@creepingbrain Don't forget the 10 - 30 millions per year that Glazers have been taking OUT of the club - INCLUDING during and after Covid. There is a reason fans hate these leeches.

[@hamoudalkhater575]

15 years ago nobody thought there was another football club in manchester, however young boys are now supporting man city. I believe Saudi club will gain attention, supporters and more players. Even the Premier league legacy wasn't built in a year or ten years, in the 1980s Italy was called the paradise of football.

[@joeleaton8752]

I think there will come a point both SJM and Ineos will break rank and outline what the process has actually been like. Issue is the glazers are not arsed if they look stupid in all this so they might as well come out and say strategic review done nothing to see here no changes

[@NCSinha1]

Manchester United a crumbling monolith.

Lots of reasons to dislike Chelsea! 😂 spot on son

[@MrSmudgegezer]

There are other shareholders. They will want their investment. The sale will get forced through either way. The same thing happened to musk when he pulled out from buying twitter.

[@richyclubsport5155]

Keep dreaming

[@creepingbrain]

Musk agreed to buy Twitter, then tried to pull out. What's going on with MUFC is very different, the Glazers have not accepted a bid. IF they accepted a bid, announced that bid, and then the bidder tried to pull out then that bidder would be in a similar position to Musk. As for the A shareholders, they have no power, and they were told at the start of this process that the process might not result in any transaction, let alone a full sale.

[@markcorner7733]

I can't understand how United can be worth anything. The team has been so badly managed the past 10 years and even the last few years under SAF they had only David de Gea and Robin Van Persie were the only good transactions.

[@sadsack8319]

All United platforms should stop talking about the Glazers. Nothing will change until they die. They will be the owners for the next 20-30 years. Stop talking about them, don't report anything, and expect nothing both on and off the pitch. Just support the team and hope for a win every week.

[@gehanoates885]

10 billion in 2 years. If you think that then put money into the club. They will never do that. The Glazers know nothing about football

[@nickraoyj]

So you guys still think all those verbal protests have any effect on the Glazers? It's high time to deal some tangible hurt to them in the US.

[@jonegan2416]

At least we have someone like Kieran telling us the trueth

[@keithstitt9532]

Glazernomics, asset striping. If they asset strip the value won't increase to the market or us supporters.

[@johngarrett7861]

So depressing, Glazers have a lot to answer for.

[@Jovany014]

No fucking way, the club is worth 4-5bn Max

[@iamme1226]

In reality it's worth 4 billion max, even 5 billion is pushing it for a club in debt with terrible infrastructure

[@DaveMufcHarry88]

You're talking right now, the whole points of this is the Glazers think with more investment coming into football every year the club will be making more money therefore be worth more in a couple of years. They already want 6 billion when the club is dropping to bits from top to bottom.

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

@@DaveMufcHarry88 so they want the future rewards but none of the future risks? Sounds like they are living in cloud cuckoo land. This is typical of a group of people who did nothing when acquiring or growing the brand. It’s bequeathed to them by their Father. They have zero business acumen and treat everyone they interact with like the dirt on their shoe. If they didn’t own a club loved by so many I’d want the bidders to pull out and the club to fail.

[@barryfernandez1204]

The Glazers are only focused on the bottom line and see the club as a most prolific and constant revenue earner. Wherever and whenever Manchester United Football Club, plays all matches are sold, merchandise, and memorabilia, tickets and human bodies. All of the above, plus new ventures, means profits.🎉

[@derred723]

the only people talking are the buyers. Not the Glazers. They will sell only when they get the price they want. And It's not about digital camera's or AI. You value the club on the growth potential of all revenue streams. And you mention chelsea stadium being on prime real estate. But coming from an American sports perspective. It's not great because it's small, US sports wise, you can't expand it easily, You'd need to expand it to monetize the amount of lucrative luxury boxes, You can't build valuable parking, So the value of the land isn't a big factor in the worth of the stadium. From the Glazer's perspective they'd rather be able to build a new stadium or massively rebuild O.T. because there's more room. But they'll sell when they get a price they want. Nohing will change that.

[@turnbull832]

The only things that would get us close to that value is huge investment and a winning team but we wont get either of those things under the glazers.
