How the Glazer family cost Manchester United £1.2bn

Twenty years since the Glazer family bought Manchester United BBC Verify has found £1.2bn has been spent on debt interest, debt repayments, dividends and fees to the family.

For any Utd fan, that is a very painful read.

Just glad it is City that are ruining football and not the Glaziers.

The Glazers are only ruining Man Utd.

Man City are ruining football

Glazers are doing a great job

But im going full blown Don now - if it was a bigger club than Palace then im in no doubt that UEFA would look at way around it

It's amazing how lines can be drawn for relatively unknown clubs, in European terms, and yet there are virtually no lines for other, more established and financially powerful ones. It could almost turn you into a cynic

Not a Farage supporter at all. But this seems appropriate…

To be fair we all are laughing at that door handle

Apparently the deluded Ozzie has been sacked

Apparently the deluded Ozzie has been sacked

Clubs will be rushing to employ him, so they can get their trophy in the 26/27 season

Levy obviously hacked off that he's had to spend some money on a trophy cabinet.

 

[arnieboy]

He’s earned it on and off the pitch

Does that mean his wife might smile a bit more now?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Levy loves to sack a manager

Pochettino after getting them to a CL final
Mourinho just before a league cup final
Ange after winning the Europa

New manager will be scared to get to a final

Dreadful stuff from Spurs.
They have now lost my support.

They used to be my No1 English team mainly due to Dave McKay John White and Alan Gilzean.
Not any more it's Ipswich and Swindon now

They finished 17th
Justified imo

It's almost like people forget about that.

If they finished in the top 10 at least, I'd question Levy a bit more. But they finished 17th. And, in all seriousness, they were horrific in the final as well, they just faced a team inept at scoring. Had they played a team like Palace, Bournemouth, Brentford, etc they'd have probably been beaten with ease.

22 league defeats is unacceptable regardless of a trophy

Ange didn't help himself with some of the unhinged interviews, if he had kept quiet and hid behind the injury issues he would've got another season IMO. He ended up causing a lot of drama and it made things very difficult.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

I think Spurs get all they deserve.
Ange had to deal with much and all the idiots shouting for him to he sacked

His record last year was embarrassing. Winning a second rate trophy couldn't hide the horror show of the league.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Interesting to see if they have someone lined up

Glasner and Franks both being touted - would they move ?

It was a second rate trophy that got them into CL

Had a horror time with injuries to key players

Spurs haven’t competed for decades , so what does Levy expect from Spurs , he has sacked managers that have got them up into top 4 and looking to move them on as club .

Ange will walk away with his head high winning a trophy - can only win 4 and they picked up one of them

You’re correct they won a trophy.
But the 2 finalist in that comp finished 15th & 17th in their domestic league.
Pretty much tells you all you need to know about the comp they won

And there’s not competing & being awful

 

[Billysboots]

Never understand why people have problem with Beckham.
Always comes across well imo.
Does lots of work for charity.

Totally agree. The older he gets, the more I like the fella. He does so much that people don’t see in terms of ambassadorial and charity work. Fully deserved.
