They could sell them if they were in trouble, right?

I admire your guts though. You took the bull by it horns and decided to tell a big lie. You are a donkey a** bloke. From what I'm hearing from the auditors, the situation is under control. Yes, I do get the point but there is no need to be alarmed. Whats needs to be donoe though is to start buy on the low and selling on the high. I think we should cash in Ronaldo to start with. His presence drives the wage bill. He will continue to demand more and more and that will mean we will have to pay Rooney, tevez, ferdinand, Vidic, etc more to be at parity. Also, we should buy a soccer academy in Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Germany, and Italy. Think of this...... How much will it cost to build a academy? 5$-$10 tops. We can recoup this back with the unvailing of real gem. We have the means to do it. Besides this will give as clout in all of these countries. A soccer acadamey in the above mentioned countries will mean we will not spend sh*t loads of money like we have been doing in the last couple of years. Another area that we can explore is getting out of the EPL TV package deal. I know this may be tough but I personally think it helps the likes of Hull City than Utd. Utd can easily negotiate a $1 billion 3 year TV package with skysports. Yes its possible. This will mean approximately $33 m quid every year. And the last but not the least is to do a fun base takeover ownership just like they have at Barca. Utd is bigger than Liverpool and have a well educated fun base that understands issues like this, so I think it will be an easy sell. Azar, I doubt if you are a financial analyst.

Agreed, I'm a ManUtd fan (and we won a competition today), but I really think the Glazers actually do know what they are doing. They've proven in the past that they know how to market a sports club and no matter what hate they might have _won_ with their season ticket prices... still they sold out within only weeks. Compared to many other clubs ManU has a healthy economical plan. What was our yearly profit again? Why does everyone always forget the Glazer’s other sports assets.

You raise a lot of points that are rather scary to think about. It's going to be turmoil when SAF leaves, I think. Great article, Azar. You raise a lot of points that are rather scary to think about.

They’ve basically used the franchise to further their financial gain. They are businessmen at their core, not sports fans. I think that people need to look at them that way. The fact of the matter is they have capped out the market in Tampa. We’ve known that for years over here. Manchester Utd is the top sports brand in the world. If you think they’d pick the Bucs over Man U, you are mistaken. Azar the Glazers have absolutely no emotional attachment to the Buccaneers.
