The Glazers' shopping mall business, First Allied Corporation,is shrouded in secrecy and doesn't publish annual accounts. Business analysts (Dun and Bradsreet) estimated the annual revenue from First Allied at just £23m last year and the firm still owes hundreds of millions from mortgages on its crumbling retail malls. This was all pre-covid so the current situation is much worse.
Their other source of income is the NFL team Tampa Bay Buccaneers but the club has been devastated by Covid and is now playing in empty stadiums. They face a loss of at least £300m in revenues.
Meanwhile the main cash cow, Man United, has got total pre-Covid liabilities of £1.22bn and ESPN claims they are about to announce trading losses of more than £100m within the next two weeks.
You don't need to be a financial genius to see that there is a financial catastrophe looming here.
At what stage do you think the UK press will decide this is a bigger story than the fake news Sancho saga?
