The only way for the Glazers to sell is if all the fans stop buying merchandise from the club hit the Glazers where it hurts in there pockets.

Thank you... Don't forget that 2 weeks ago they're bidding for rabiot and Arnautovic...Now suddenly they broke their transfer budget for Anthony who they didn't want to overpay in Early July and Casemiro pop out of nowhere....I wonder what happened that changes their mind 🤔? They want to stay in charge for at least 10 more years..They also probably waiting for Super League to happen again... GLAZERS OUT!!!

Why would they sell they are makin profit that is the aim of a business

[pashaputraardan]

No one will sell something that makes alot of money for him..especially..it is a huge BRAND all over the World..😅

As Gary Neville said on skysport : the family don't put money in from their pockets, they just using the revenue that the club makes thru it's incredible global fan base and also take out dividends every quarter.
So lets just stop comparing them to other owners that are putting money in like Roman did in Chelsea for years, like sheikh Mansur doing in city for years and like the Saudis doing the same in Newcastle.
If that's how the Glazers run Manchester United as a football club - every single one of us can manage the club and it won't be any difference.

As a United fan I agree 100% with Stevie Nichol. Its been an absolute disaster since SAF left!!!

[bluefun]

There’s a certain new ones that continuously is not understood by people talking about this…..The Glazer family has never invested anything into the club they only allow the club to spend what it’s actually made on its own there’s a big difference there

[asinghal]

Glazers didn't bring players they brought STARS who will help them generate more revenue and they didn't spend much in infrastructure, academy, technique. While Liverpools and Citys of football world were spending on support staff and training facilties, Man Utd was spending on one egomaniac after another who definitely perform better in their previous clubs were past their prime and were more ""Influencers"" then team players who were setting up stages for their future careers.

[GIBBO]

They’re making easy money, why would they sell?

[hungchoonghow]

Manchester United is truly the biggest club in the world.

[XVEthanVX]

They actually haven’t invested anything zero of there money it’s all Manchester Uniteds money that they use

[danielmahathir]

never heard of someone owning a house and have to listen to others on how to run or what furniture goes where.glazers own the house. sadly they can do whatever they want. unless they organize a party and the noise levels are so high, then the neighbours can complain and call the police. the police comes and ask them to bring down the noise. they apologize and said ok. they turn and go back to their OWN house. get it? we cant do anything. fans are the neighbours

[Michael-stky]

Big money investors have been a blessing and a curse in the PL. there needs to be regulations in place for owners to not only have a fiscal responsibility but have a social responsibility to protect english sport culture and history

[Jeffm]

United is just a bank that happens to have a football team to the glazers

[wengelder]

The owners have to do exactly nothing . Their call, their money, their shares

[davidgonzalez]

Glazers and the fans are speaking two very different languages. Glazers only understand profits. And as long as their profits are good, no reason to do anything differently and certainly no reason to sell.

[awcarpetsflooring]

Now they want to leverage more money and put more debt on the club to pay for maintenance on OT .
When THEIR debt has cost the CLUB 1.5billion for the privilege of them being the owners.
So more debt with more charges for the debt means less money for the club.
The interest on the debt could have bought us a world class stadium like Tottenham with some change & we are now going to borrow to spend on OT absolute joke !

NO MORE DEBT

[messisbigdog]

The entire context is deluded. It's "time" whenever the Glazers say it's time, and not a moment sooner. Fans have power but they are deluded as to how much. The board should have seen the red flags right away and said "thanks but no thanks" to the Glazers, but they screwed up. Now United have to live with them. This is a family of weasels who moved from NYC to Fl in order to save on taxes when they don't even like Florida. You think they are going to sell their most consistent income stream because fans are mad at them? lol.

[RealMadridUCLs]

Glazers spent the money. Haven’t they spent a billion? They just spent poorly or the signings fail. Don’t get me wrong United could use better owners, but let’s not pretend the Glazers are just being idle.

[conolade]

It's the fans who ultimately promote the brand on a regular basis.
The owners owe it to them to take the football seriously.
