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.

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

[@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.

[@petermarshall9162]

The previous owners would buy the best players and still make a profit. The glazers didn't spend any of their own money when buying players overall the buying increase the debt they put on the club, which we didn't have before the glazers the servicing of the debt has hindered our purchasing especially this year we have had to sell to buy never in all the years have we had to depend on selling player's to get player's in so much so we have missed out on player's such as Kim min jae, lavia, kane I have a supporter since 1986 Simon seems to be part of the owners union he would probably say the glazers are better owners than the previous owners

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???

Any competent business owner should want their business run well ( E.G. appoints a proper CEO ). The Glazers have not.

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.

[@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.

He forgave 2 BILLION POUNDS of debt.... you dont do that as a buisness man unless its for love. So, sorry simon, youre wrong there fella.

[@paulm8791]

No he couldn’t as he was under sanction by the government. What he said was nonsense to pander to you fans which clearly worked. If he had sold the club with no sanctions, he may have received £3B, making a £1B profit overall.

[@flujab1707]

@@paulm8791 i just googled it for you and it wqs 1.5 billion of debt owed to him. He forgave it in order to sell. If he didnt forgive it chelsea would not exist. A successful buisness man does not let go of 1.5 billion pounds for anything except love. So, hows it feel to be wrong?

Danny Murphy looks lost, can't argue with Simon's sharp brainy arguments

[@cosmicbaggy9637]

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

[@TomsDinosaurOpinion]

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

[@ClihtYeastwood]

8:00 it’s like watching a child who thinks he’s clever (Jim) get purely owned by an adult with life experience (Simon).

Greedy greedy Glazers stole our money and bankrupted the club

[@mnemonija]

What money? The club is still there, and even if it goes bankrupt, you can always register another one with the same name and start again from the lower divisions…

[@PedroPorridge]

Greedy greedy Glazers

[@duckypresents]

Danny Murphy having a nice little draw around 6 minutes.

[@mnemonija]

Whoever is the buyer, i mean, what kind of sense would it make to pay out the holders of public shares? Just pay for the glazers controlling stake, and let the public markets go wherever. If they collapse, and only then, buy up the rest, but otherwise its a waste of good money to pay the premium price to public shareholders.

[@markcooper5595]

In hindsight I Bet Mike Ashley wished he’d have stuck a few zeros on the end of Newcastles asking price when he sold it

[@RIP_Milhouse]

Market value has no impact upon intrinsic value.

[@slashthebutcher]

They haven't said they arnt selling. The Mail did.

[@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...

[@Ukman-england]

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

[@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.

[@lloydwaycott8178]

''Hey Jim, what's your opinion on such and such?'' ''I don't know, what do most fans think? I'll think that too.''

[@terryjames9535]

I love the glazers, probably because I'm a 51 year old city fan.. the glazers have zombified the fans that gloried in my misery when my team had no future 😂😂

[@barbarohelm9697]

I love that man City get no credit for any of their success .. I love how every football fan talks about them as cheats 😂😂😂

[@mhutchinson89]

share price affects the shareholders not the majority owner (glazers)

[@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

[@dave2261]

Credit to the Glazers. They are the owners and they can and will run their business as they want. A very shrewd investment and they are not going anywhere.

[@TheTaydak]

just to be clear on what is actually happening the Glazers have no debt the club has the debt and they are not clearing that debt they are paying the interest on the debt to stop it going up but that's all they are doing the debt remains exactly the same as it was and will for as long as the Glazers keep the club. The glaziers and shareholders are getting quarterly dividend from the club and putting the club up for sale did increase the share value it would be interesting to know if they took dividends out of the club at that point and find out if this was a con job all the time just for that purpose.

[@9Fortu]

No, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Barcelona, Juventud, AC Milan are ahead of Man United by far.

[@markc266]

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

[@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.

[@jamiecummings9666]

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

[@nadeemamode]

Correct. This makes the stock market even more of a joke

[@mhutchinson89]

i feel the Glaziers have diminished the value, still one of the biggest clubs in the world commercially but compared to before they was so much further ahead than everyone else

[@rhowell1978]

Emotions have nothing to do with this, just because you 'feel' a certain way doesn’t make it true and did you really think that other clubs wouldn’t eventually catch on and do the same? Football is now a business, of course other clubs would follow and eventually catch up, that has nothing to do with the ownership as they can’t stop anyone copying their business model.

[@hellalive8973]

Anyone who doesn’t admire what the Glazers have done from a business perspective is either a fool or a liar. The profit they’ll make when they eventually sell will never be seen again in football.
