Chapter 646 The Red Devils were acquired
? After the game in Notts County, the next day, all the media updated the news with the title of League Champion Dust Settles, Notts County used a stable state to have the last laugh in the championship rally, although I haven't won the championship trophy, but no one thinks that Chelsea still has a chance, even if it's only theoretical, and even Chelsea fans are embarrassed to mention this word again!
Notts County has created another miracle, a miracle that everyone has to look at. At the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic, and in the middle of the season, under extremely difficult conditions, it finally turned out to be an epic achievement anyway, defending the title. Premier League champion!
Even if you don't like Notts County fans, you have to say admiration willingly, because Notts County can already be described as great!
Mourinho finally stopped talking, because he knew that everything had been settled!
And just when the suspense of the league championship was over, everyone's eyes were diverted because of an earthquake-like event, making the Notts County championship seem irrelevant.
Red Devils Manchester United have been bought!
Glazer from the United States successfully acquired Manchester United!
The whole world football was shocked, and the impact was huge and widespread comparable to the global tsunami!
In fact, as early as 1998, the media empire tycoon Murdoch wanted to buy Manchester United at a high price, but this acquisition that shocked the football world and the economy was unanimously opposed by Manchester United fans, the British government, and TV broadcasters. It turned into a bubble, and it didn't work out in the end.
And 7 years later, Glazer has accomplished this feat.
In October last year, Glazer formally submitted a takeover proposal to the London Stock Exchange through Manchester United insiders, and at the same time applied to enter the acquisition period, Glazer began a crazy plan of 700 million pounds to monopolize Manchester United.
And just today, Glazer's acquisition company announced that they have successfully acquired 287% of the shares held by Irishman Manier and McManus, plus the 281% they already owned, which Glazer has already held. took nearly 57% of Manchester United shares.
This time the negotiation took only three days, they reached an agreement, and since then, Manchester United officially changed hands.
But everyone knows that it's not too late, Glazer's ultimate goal is definitely to control Manchester United to delist from the stock exchange and become the private property of the Glazer family.
As everyone expected, Glaze's takeover was resisted by almost the whole of England.
From all angles, they do not want the owner of Manchester United to become an American.
Before Chelsea was acquired, Abramovich was facing great pressure, but Chelsea's influence is definitely not on the same level as Manchester United.
What is most unacceptable is the leveraged buyout method used by Glazer to acquire Manchester United.
Glazer used his very little capital as a basis, and then took Manchester United's fixed assets as collateral from the investment bank of Morgan Bank, and used a high interest loan of close to 300 million pounds for acquisition activities, and then took out a part of Manchester United's revenue every year. Make loan repayments, which is a typical leveraged buyout.
After the acquisition, Manchester United will become the world's most indebted club from the richest club in the world. This is simply a disaster for world football.
At the usual 7 per cent annual interest rate for business loans, Glazer is paying £46 million a year in interest alone, or £126,000 a day.
Although the Manchester United club only needs to bear part of the loans of the Americans, Manchester United actually needs to repay only 18.55 million pounds of interest each year, but even so, this will still be a huge burden for Old Trafford in the next few years, and the club has a financial The total profit for the year was only £19.4 million, almost enough to pay off the debt.
There is no doubt that Glazer came to Manchester United for one word: money.
Everyone agrees that this rich American has no interest in football at all, and has no intention of becoming interested in football like Abramovich, he just came for the money.
Glazer did make money, and the shares soared 13% immediately after the American bought the shares.
Manchester United fans have marched several times before to protest Glazer's takeover of Manchester United, and a group of fans also called for a boycott of home games as the Premier League drew to a close, but all these requests were ignored, and the Americans still lavishly took 59% of Manchester United's shares. Put it in the pocket.
Like Abramovich, Glazer doesn't understand football; but unlike Abramovich, Chelsea spent real money to turn Chelsea into a force in world football, while Glazer didn't get the favor of Manchester United fans at all.
After the official announcement of Glazer's successful acquisition of most of Manchester United's shares, Manchester United fans collectively said that if Manchester United became a club for Americans in the future, then they would firmly boycott Manchester United's home games. Not good news, because ticket sales are not a small amount for a club.
The mood of the fans is easy to understand, but who can save Manchester United at this time?
Sorry, no one!
Maybe there is, that person is Murdoch, a top rich man who will not regard Manchester United as a tool for making money like Glazer, but unfortunately, a few years ago, everyone rejected Murdoch's acquisition, so, time There will be no turning back, and nothing will happen again.
No one can organize Manchester United, a century-old English giant, to become a tool in the hands of capitalists.
Perhaps David despised the Italian Pozzo family for operating football as an industry, but compared with the Glazers, the Pozzo family seems to be insignificant again, and there are certain essential differences between the two.
At least the Pozzo family will have a basic investment in the club under the premise of making money, and have more long-term planning, but Glazer appears to be even more naked.
Of course, David won't take care of Manchester United's life or death. Although he has the ability to solve Manchester United's troubles now, he will not do it, because in England, he only needs a club in Notts County. What he has to do Is to turn Notts County into the top giants in world football.
The Red Devil is dead, maybe you can burn paper for it! This is already the most humane way of David!
He is not God, he can't save everyone, everyone has to take responsibility for their mistakes, David has no responsibility, and no obligation to pay for Manchester United.
It is estimated that Abu and David are watching the development quietly with the idea of watching the fun at this time, but obviously David needs to be in a better mood, because the Notts County championship is a certainty, and Chelsea has once again Having swallowed the bitter fruit of failure in the long season, especially for Abu, who has invested heavily, such a result is definitely not what he hoped to see! (To be continued.)
