The glazers are one of the cleverest owners in football for a pure self enrichment, fuck the club point of view.
1) Extraction of over 1 billion from the club a healthy portion of which they pay themselves as dividends, the rest is the debt the club has to pay for the pleasure of their ownership
2) Use of utd as collateral for other loans and support their US based business
3) Appointment of Ineos to draw fire away from them, they are now silent owners who make a profit in the background
4) I'm convinced the glazers or someone affiliated with them owns that debt.
5) Get Sir Jim to get you a new stadium off the council, again increasing the value of the asset.
A when Ineos fucks up they won't be in the firing line.
