The Glazer Reign Is Crumbling

Most of the Glazer siblings wealth is tied up in MANU stock shares. If the price plummets, so to does their net worth, and....

everytime the Glazers talk about staying, the stock price takes a nose dive.

the share structure is designed so that nobody but the glazers has any leverage. you are aware that the common stock holds 1/10th of the voting rights of the glazers preferred stock?

if the glazers decide not to sell it's because they think that longer term the club is going to be worth even more. they absolutely won't give a shit about any short term fluctuations in the price of the common stock.

The hedge funds have leverage. The Glazer's put the club up for sale shortly after the stock hit an all time low under Ralph Rangnick.

Take Darcy Glazer, who is apparently the one who wants to sell. According to the Athletic. next to Joel Glazer she owns the most shares in the company. (Class A & B)

Let's say, Darcie Glazer's currently has £392,000,000 worth of MANU stock at current price.
If it drops down to the share price under Ralph Rangnick it's worth around £231,000,000. That's close to having your wealth cut in half.

I am of course engaging in speculation. The Glazer's may choose minority investment, but the siblings and the hedge funds will get to sell their shares out on a high if Qatar wins on a full sale.

They risk watching their wealth piddle away, if the share price plummets under minority investment, and erodes away because they can't compete with super wealth clubs.

Probably means they will sell if they get that level of offer.

Potential American investment?
Cardiff have experienced extreme highs and lows since Tan arrived in 2010, with Premier League promotions and relegations interspersed with rebrands, acrimonious managerial departures and countless other controversies.

Dalman says Cardiff's Malaysian owner remains committed to the club but the chairman remains open to the idea of additional investment.

"I've been meeting a lot with US private equity funds and the valuation of football clubs is going through the roof. Americans are determined to come into this market quite heavily," said Dalman.

"I spoke to the owners of Leeds when we were there, and Championship clubs are valued at three times their revenue, give or take.

"Manchester United are going to announce their sale at £7.2bn-7.3bn, which is roughly 10 times their revenue.

"Two or three years ago, we might have been talking about selling Cardiff for about £20m or £30m but now you're going to have to look at £90m or £100m. Valuations [of Championship clubs] have all stretched.

Just been told its Qatar 7.2bn

Hopefully they bring eleven new players with them etc etc

The latest protest tactic doesn’t seem like a winner. Imagine sitting in old Trafford for an extra hour after enduring a game like tonight’s.

was told the announcement at the end of the week - could bizarrely be genuine but won't disclose the source. Connected to another Qatari business - probably %@#$&!s.
