Glazers putting up 5% of the company.

Just over 4m shares up for sale.

What will that take their stake to % wise?

It will be to placate the 3 glazers who are always agitating to cash in. I think they have to find a shitload of money every few years to keep them sweet.

we had about 40mil in the bank when they took over now we are 400mil in debt
All those Intrest payments could have gone on bagging some top talent for a start.

How much have we payed in Intrest btw?

I don't have any complaints with our current spending. 2009-2013 is an entirely different matter though

Maybe if we'd had owners with slightest clue about football and how to run a football club they would have told Fergie to £#%&! right off when he insisted on hand picking his successor.

They also would have never let the chief executive and the manager walk out at the same time.

Aren't Ferguson and Gill both still on the board of Directors?

Football Club board, yes, which is of very limited power compared to Red Football (or whatever they renamed it when they moved it into a tax exile a few years back to hide the numbers) Group Board.

I thought you were a tory? That's how capitalism works pol. Businesss every day are bought and sold using leveraged debt. Highly profitable firms that spend half their profits on interest and the rest as cash for the owners.
You voted for it, suck it up.
