It’s irrelevant to those ppl who have bought stock in the hope to make a quick profit when The Glazers sell. It’s also irrelevant as the market now believes that the club is less likely to be sold that it was last week.

[@triunf1]

People are tired of fans and pundits scapegoating the Glaziers every time Utd are not doing well. In the past few years Utd have spent a lot of money (apart from Chelsea) and the self entitled club think success is their daily bread. Did the Glazier suggest the buying of Evan ? Did the Glazier encourage the manager to call out Sancho publicly?? Crazy

[@TokenishTrinket]

@samwize28 Don't give up on your team, just don't buy their products until the ownership changes. The Glazers and other shareholders rely upon international fanbase that buys shirts and buy rights to play games on TV and streaming. If you want them to sell join the protests and don't buy their products, that will devalue their investment (by lagging product sales and lower brand attractiveness) and cause a sale. Unfortunately Man U are a global brand so your individual protest won't matter but over time the market stagnation of the brand and ROI can make the stakeholders start to sell. We did it at Arsenal, now Josh Kroenke had to move to a hands-on position in the co-chairman role and reform the club's structure to bring back the corporate box spenders and the long term season ticket holders. His changes meant that Arsenal now have a director of football (Edu) that invests in the playing staff and manager to provide success on the pitch which is driving brand deals and competition revenue higher than pre-2018. The addition of Champions League returns and subsiquent deals mean that high expenditure in the short term can be offset and eventually negated by latterly produced net income.

Truly the only way to force the Glazers out is to see it in business terms. Protests are about our opinions and feelings and they couldn’t two shits about either. Business is about money. At least 90% of fans NEED to stop going to games, unfollow all social media and not buy any merchandise and they’ll be gone within a month or two. As soon as their pockets are hit that hard they’ll flee like rats on a sinking ship.

[@TechBytes2day]

MU fan, Simon sometimes gets under my skin but he's spitting facts here.

[@Panjax]

But they weren't sold for 6 Billion. Nobody was willing to bid that much. Simon saying 'they're not doing too badly are they, going for 6 billion' only if someone actually pays that. But not even the Saudi's who've been paying over the odds in multiple arenas for multiple ventures are even willing to match that.

[@AAGGHH4]

Current market cap is usually irrelevant. If the market cap is currently 3 billion. Every shareholder could sell to get there equivalent of that 3 billion. If a company expects itself to grow over the next few years. It requires the buyer to offer more than what they’ll be worth X amongst years down the line. If my business is worth 3 billion now. 5 years down the line I expect it to be worth 6 billion. I could just wait and sell my shares then, giving me the flexibility to choose when to deal with the capital gains tax. If the glazers think it’ll be worth 6 billion in 5 years. You need to pay a premium to warrant me to sell now. That’s a very basic explanation of the market cap argument

[@Its_JustKai]

To me as a supporter and fan of United this is good news the Glazers have to sell!

[@drep9028]

Many a Club would bite a hand off to have the success manU had under the Glazer's. If anyone thinks Glazer's selling ManU will immediately return them to dominance is in for a rude awakening

[@drep9028]

@samwize28 I would prefer the Glazer's leave and be taken over by Everton's owners

[@drep9028]

@samwize28 then my truest answer is that I really don't care and I don't think it will have that significant impact on Utd within the next 4 years anyway. I think Utd fans are more hoping and dreaming it will same as opposition fans are hoping and dreaming that the Glazer's are the biggest issue and will thus stay. I think both are wrong

[@chrissilvester5663]

As a Man United fan I hate saying this but Simon has made some very good factual points. Fact is when u buy a brand u aren't buying it 100% straight cash there will always be leveraged debt involved. The Glazers unfortunately aren't daft people they know what they want & unfortunately their shares are very well secure so they can hold out for far more than what the club is worth. I think the what us United fans are most pissed at is the debt they placed on us aswell as the amount of interest we've paid out regarding that debt over 900m which could've been used to upgrade Old Trafford aswell as Carrington. Also we haven't exactly had the right people running the club. If we had a proper DOF that knows what they're doing we wouldn't be as messed up we wouldn't of signed half the players we did on stupid wages etc.

[@craig1669]

United fan here. I'm not happy to say I told you so, but I'm a realist. I get a lot of stick from fellow reds for my opinions but heres how I see the situation. Ask yourself..... why would ANYBODY sell Manchester United? Especially when it's obvious that the club value will only increase with the Saudis Qataris etc starting to invest in football. Even when we're doing terrible for our standards, we STILL generate hundreds of millions of pounds a year. No amount of protests will change that. No boycott will work cos the ticket will get sold to a tourist who will spend hundreds in the shop and around the stadium. Then, factor in that the ONLY reason they would possibly sell is to please the fans. The same fans that celebrated their fathers death and now chant about killing them. Owning MUFC gives unlimited credit around the world and secures the future of every Glazer for generations to come. I believe the banks may have been asking for some assurances on the debt, this whole process would have reassured them comfortably. The debt will be restructured and nothing will change. Possibly a huge loan to pay for the training ground and stadium upgrades, heaping more debt on the club, which the glazers will never personally pay. It's genius business, you have to admit. Considering all this.... Again I ask.... Why would ANYBODY sell Manchester United???

[@richardlefaive1944]

Any competent business owner should want their business run well ( E.G. appoints a proper CEO ). The Glazers have not. They've had buffoons ( from a football Ops perspective, not financial ) managing and having final say over player transfer and development INF decisions for 2 decades now. There is literally no excuse for that.

He's right on the business aspect bviously but continues to dodge the point that the goal of football is to win, and United have won almost nothing in the last 10 years because of the Glazers. Yes Boehly wants to see a return on investment, and yes petro states want to sports wash their reputations, but they all see winning as the way to do that.

[@paulbright821]

The real blame at man United was the previous owners to the Glazers. I have seen many businesses bought and sold, owners should have a responsibility to sell to someone that will do the right things for that business which may not always be the highest bidder. The financing for the club should have been looked at in that they should have said no to anyone who needed to buy something with credit in that way as clearly the business would be paying back the debt not the new owners so you are making the future of the business suffer. The club is more than just assets, their is a brand here and so the fans who love that club deserve to see it treated right. The sale should never have gone ahead, once the glazers had it of course they were going to suck money from it as they are commercial people and not real lovers of the club or even football

[@thedreamer3454]

It works on supply and demand though. Those other shareholders can just not sell their stock. You aren't forced to sell any stock even if you are a minority holder.

So keep nibbling away and you could buy a chunk of Man United on the cheap and if lucky enough to own seven percent or more of the *market cap* you can under USA law have a seat on the board now that would be interesting.

[@tyroneraman6395]

Share price only matters to current investors. You can buy on a low price and capitalise on it but who the hell in their right mind will bank on Manure bouncing back.

[@bodega1515]

Football is a business. Why is it so hard for people to understand? It's no longer your club now it belongs to Middle Eastern sheikhs and US based investment groups. Might as well change the name of the club to McDonalds United. Might bring in some extra dividend.

[@markc266]

The share price has gone up and down every day since United were listed and its never had this much scrutiny before 🤣

[@lagofala]

Dont hate the player, hate the game.

[@zaki9987]

If anyone involved in simple trade he'll understand what Simon is saying, people already offered 6b so that's the standard now because people were actually willing to pay that amount (real value)

[@TomsDinosaurOpinion]

Danny is watching and learning from Simon. Smart! Whilst Jim only understands a paystub.

[@spark556]

Glad United won't get that filthy oil money 🙌

[@thedreamer3454]

Simion is missing out that their current price of 5 billion is on the premise of them actually being successful again and their brand. That is the ceiling.... If it wasn't they would have pulled the plug already. I think it's them postering...

[@matthancock260]

It’s because they always find someone to blame. A scapegoat. It’s not like they haven’t spend loads of money. Their fans need to stop living under the Fergie era and know their place now. Most of this generation only sees Man Utd as a club battling for top 4

[@cronaldomufcfan7]

United is suppose to be challenging for the biggest trophies every season. It’s not some midtable club. This family has destroyed the club from top to bottom. They have put a billion pound of debt on the club and they take the revenue out. Leaving the stadium, training facilities etc in a very poor state. United should be up there with clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern. How are we spoiled if we want a decent owner that won’t bleed the club dry and someone that has respect for the club.

[@brechmandj476]

We spend our own money not their money. Also your opinion is irrelevant if you are not a fan @matthancock260

[@qg1235]

So what?? Since 2014, you have the highest net spend in world football of all clubs. Ten Hag's net spend in one year is more than what Klopp's is in eight years ffs. If you were winning titles and challenging every season at the top, you wouldn't care less about the training ground being in bad shape or it needing a better cafe. Stop complaining, your problem is awful recruitment (thanks to the managers mostly) and nothing else. The Glazers aren't sitting there deciding to sign dross like Antony for £82m, that was Ten Hag! @@brechmandj476

[@jamiiiedee3196]

This comment is always the most uneducated surface level opinion leveraged against the fans and it’s starting to get boring

[@thewatcher08]

Already from your argument.. You don't understand why United fans are protesting against the Glazers.. It's not Scapegoatism... There is a fundamental issue with how they are running the club it's more than just transfer fees.. Your being lazy with your logic.

[@jamiecummings9666]

Stupid prices for a football club 2.5 billion for Chelsea why.

[@PharmacyAve]

United is NOT in the conversation with Real Madrid (14 cl titles)

[@diddyxl]

It's about brand, global reach, financial juggernauts. If there were a crown with jewels, United would be center right of Madrid.

[@juanperezpaniagua3601]

@@diddyxl Madrid is way above them in that matter too. Bayern Liverpool Barcelona are also bigger, and I'd say some other clubs are bigger than man utd

[@cosmicbaggy9637]

when was the last time ferrari won a f1 constructors championship?

[@ConstantinoHaza]

Barcelona fans don't protest because the club is fan owned, and the presidents that ran it into debt are gone. It's a different ball game to Man Utd

[@adamgillaspy1]

So Simon bought Crystal palace as a fan he has always said, but basically he bought it as a business mind set to make money, why else would you buy a business/football team??

[@nungiceman]

To say the share price is irrelevant is absolutely stupid. There's always a discount on what the company is worth and the price of the share. Even if the company is worth 100 billion pounds, the share price will never reflect that. The share price reflects what the general public thinks it's worth and is willing to invest in. It's irrelevant only in the sense that the owner isn't selling, but the share price is a reflection of how the company is performing at the moment and how it will perform in the future. To say Man United is Ferrari is a bit of a stretch. They definitely were, but they're fast becoming Maserati. Huge name, but no one can get it right or run it properly. Man United not being able to find the right manager, is absolutely down to the owner and the board. They're not hiring the right person for the job, so of course, the results would reflect that. A company's success is always directly related to the people up top. No company in the history of mankind has succeeded with an incompetent owner and board. The fact that, after Fergie, almost every manager that was hired played a different brand of football. You never see Ajax, Barcelona play or teach a different type of football, even Arsenal always sticks to a particular brand of football.

[@BruvvaUK]

I wont lie I had no idea wtf they were talking about hahahahahahahahahaha

[@Ukman-england]

Poor Danny I should of rang in sick today I only studied how to kick a ball this is to stressful 😅

[@atifmirza696]

The share price could go down to $1 it means nothing. Man Utd will be sold more than its worth on paper end of. The only way the glazers may be pressured to sell is if there was literally a riot at old trafford and the offices/stadium/carrington are damaged and destroyed to a huge extent. Then and only then sponsors may distance themselves and maybe some pressure to sell. However man utd has so many fans that will just fill the seats.

[@d-law868]

Usually we fans get to hear ex players speak and having a former owner is so much more refreshing, what a gem he is mr Jordan ✅

[@RIP_Milhouse]

Market value has no impact upon intrinsic value.

[@gaziibabaa]

People are selling stock because they aren’t confident of the Glazers. Simon Jordan was a shite owner.

[@Cratisthense]

Real Madrid are a bigger club than united not even a question

[@TheGeneralMod]

The reason Man United are the biggest club in the world (IN MY OPINION!), is because despite being mediocore for so long and doing nothing in Europe's Top competition for a decade plus now.... They still make so much damn money and bring in top players.

[@jamiecummings9666]

The most iconic bed sheet writer's.

[@tartantam1927]

Danny so sick realising a Man Utd is a giant 😂😂😂

[@magpies77]

Glazers out board the windows up on the dump instead

[@AndrewBerryman101]

Possibly one of the most frustrating conversations to listen to. You essentially have 11 mins of Jim completely failing to grasp how business works.

[@derred723]

Fact is the stock was inflated due to speculators so it fell back to what it was before. And the Share price is not the value of a company. Football people don't get business.

[@vantheman1238]

Simon Jordan at his best. Jordan knows business and he is extremely clever and knowledgeable when discussing football. When it comes to boxing my opinion changes; however, on football and the business of football clubs the man is very good and extremely interesting to listen too.
