‘Man U getting public cash feels fallacious due to how the Glazers will profit’

On Mar 16, 2024

Manchester United getting public cash might assist the membership construct a brand new stadium and regenerate the native space.

That’s little doubt a superb factor for the membership and the realm, significantly within the Trafford area. But why it simply feels fallacious is that it will assist the Glazer household pocket much more cash from the membership.

That’s as a result of a model new stadium and a bustling space subsequent to the bottom will add not less than a billion to the worth of the membership. That’s what the American household are desirous about. Selling United on the highest value doable.

They didn’t get what they needed this time so opted to promote simply over 25 per cent at an inflated value to Sir Jim Ratcliffe. That’s rightly introduced some optimism round Old Trafford with a brand new injection of power and cash right into a light drive of a soccer membership.

But the Glazers aren’t silly. They’re letting Ratcliffe run the soccer operation as a result of it means they’ll now not get criticism for poor performances on the pitch.

And now they’ve allowed the petro-chemicals billionaire to push forward with a activity drive to construct a brand new stadium. Good to see Gary Neville on there. He’s been spending the final two years moaning concerning the state of Old Trafford.

Conveniently he’s bought a pleasant resort throughout the highway that wants extra foot site visitors within the space to make sure it’s not solely full on match weekends.

But the actual winners right here will not be the followers and even the gamers who will come and go and earn much more cash if United have an even bigger stadium with larger hospitality sections to usher in much more money. It’s the Glazer household. They get to see the worth of the asset develop with none funding from themselves.

They’ll let Ratcliffe elevate the funds by means of his personal wealth and that of his billionaire buddies whereas additionally they faucet into the tax payer’s pot.

All the whereas over in Florida, the a lot maligned household will simply watch the worth of the membership and their shares go up as each new brick is laid on a brand new stadium.

It would virtually be considered genius in the event that they weren’t so rightly labelled as grasping, leaching house owners that they’ve been.

But everyone seems to be seemingly too busy dropping their minds at Trafford Council and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham for getting concerned on this money-making mission to see who it’s actually going to profit.

The Glazers have seen NFL groups go for £6bn, they wish to promote United for much more. Someone else constructing a brand new stadium for them will guarantee they get their value.

‌Make the factors deductions make sense

So Leicester might get a factors deduction in the event that they get promoted to the Premier League.

And they may keep away from one from the EFL in the event that they get out of the Championship this season.

But what concerning the groups who will miss out on promotion this time period as a result of they’ve breached monetary guidelines?

If factors deductions is how this stuff are sorted out certainly there must be a transparent and concise rulebook on it for the entire league pyramid.

Leicester are presently flying excessive within the Championship as a result of they’re an excellent staff and in addition as a result of they will afford the large wages to have an excellent staff.

But in the event that they’ve damaged guidelines then why do they get the advantage of going up after which getting docked factors?
While Everton or Nottingham Forest might go down this season in the event that they get docked factors.

Make all of it make sense.
