Re: Daily Mail: Glazers £1.1Billion in Debt
They are not good businessmen. They borrow big and are adept at screwing every last penny out of their assets but they've screwed up the Bucs, they've screwed up First Allied and (hopefully) they're going to screw the rags up as well. Their gamble was that they would stay in the top 4 with little net spend but the rise of us and Spurs has put the fear of god into them.
At the moment they can (at best) only do two of pay interest on the bonds, pay off the PIK notes and buy players. Without CL income they can only do one of those.
I've been telling you all for a while that The Glazers' US businesses aren't healthy and they can't afford to sell United as it's their only source of income. Even getting £1.5bn for the rags would be barely enough to save them. They will have to take something like £90m a year out just to keep their nostrils above water.NewbBlue said:Yeah, regardless of whether or not the extra 400 million is in United's name or not, they're in trouble. If the other businesses aren't providing enough money for their debts, they'll draw money out of United. An unhealthy number of Glazer malls are underwater on their mortgages.
