that puts our total value at around 4B dollars...

FFS, Their going to REDUCE the debt. Not pay it all off.

Yes, largely reduce it so it isnt a problem anymore

ffs

Yeah, but reducing the debt will give them huge relief on their annual interest payments on the loan.

The Glazers say they are going to reduce the debt but it really depends by how much, they could easily pocket some of the funds can't they?

so from the possible £600m floatation, how much do you honestly think they'll use to clear Utd's £480m debt?

That would just be a guess

Pay off half and add the rest for a spending spree? Pay for the fabled Old Trafford expansion to 100,000?

This may even be gauging a price and interest for a total sale.

Our Nike renewal is up in the next 12 months where were probabl receive the most lucrative deal in history..
Our FFP number is gonna be ridiculous

If he pays of half the debt then Utd will be laughing all the way to more EPL titles. Only Arsenal FFP number will be able to challenege Utd's. Is there any room for more seats though

plenty of room, Utd would have to purchase the houses behind the expanding stand and theres a problem with a railway line, but Utd could force it through

I told Feverpitch ages ago that the Glazers knew what they were doing, now im being proven right and hes not here ffs

Looks like they knew what they were doing after all

They wont sell half there shares then that would mean Glaziers wont have control over the club.All this means is United will be stuck with the Glazers for the foreseable future.

Also they have to keep winning if they have a poor few seasons on the trot(Maybe when Fergie retires?) then they will be under financial pressure as share value may drop drastically.

How?

theyre only IPOing ( which is apparently different than selling) 25% of their shares, not half.
When Chelsea won 2x EPL titles in a row and we failed at the CL group stages, we actually posted record numbers.
Anyway theyre IPOing now, not 5 years from now. If the Glazers arent selling, then share prices dont really affect him.
If they get 600m now and the share prices go down, its not as if theyll have to repay the difference
Debt free juggernaught institutions like Utd will never be under financial pressure

Wow thats insane

Congrats to Man Utd and its fans thats a huge coup for your club

The scary thing is Man Utd really don't need to spend anymore, not a large amount anyway

euro clubs debt according to UEFA

#UEFA released clubs in Europe who have most debt.

What the hell is QPR spending their money on?

Bojan Krkic?

United 5 years later with still half a billion debt lol

Rubbish, overpaid and washed up Premier League players who happened to be members of the Harry Redknapp club.

Valencia has been in debt since they were founded lmao

They grew up in debt. Moulded by it.
