Chapter 646 The Red Devils Are Acquired
After the Notts County game, on the second day, all the media updated the news with the title "League Championship Dust Settled". Notts County used a stable state to have the last laugh in the championship rally. Did not win the championship trophy, but no one thinks that Chelsea has a chance anymore, even if it is only in theory, even Chelsea fans are embarrassed to mention this word again!
Notts County has created another miracle, a miracle that everyone has to pay attention to. At the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic, and in the middle of the season, it was extremely difficult. In the end, it finally achieved an epic achievement anyway, defending the title Premier League champions!
Even if you don't like Notts County fans, you have to be willing to say admiration, because Notts County can already be described as great!
Mourinho finally stopped talking, because he knew that everything was settled!
And just when the suspense of the league championship had come to an end, everyone's eyes were diverted by an earthquake-like event, which made the Notts County champion seem irrelevant.
The Red Devils Manchester United have been acquired!
Glazer from the United States successfully acquired Manchester United!
The entire football world was shocked, and the impact was as huge and widespread as a global tsunami!
In fact, as early as 1998, the media empire tycoon Rupert Murdoch wanted to acquire Manchester United at a high price. However, this acquisition that shocked the football world and the economic field was unanimously opposed by Manchester United fans, the British government, and TV broadcasters. It turned into a bubble, and in the end it didn't make it.
Seven years later, Glazer accomplished the feat.
In October last year, Glazer formally submitted an acquisition proposal to the London Stock Exchange through Manchester United insiders, and at the same time applied to enter the acquisition period. Glazer started a crazy plan of 10 million pounds to monopolize Manchester United.
And just today, Glazer's acquisition company announced that they have successfully acquired 28% of the shares held by the Irishmen Manier and McManus, plus the 7% of the shares they had previously owned, Gray Ze has already mastered nearly 28% of Manchester United shares.
This time the negotiation took only three days, and they reached an agreement. Since then, Manchester United has officially changed hands.
But everyone knows that it is not too late. Glazer's ultimate goal is definitely to control Manchester United and delist it from the stock exchange and become the private property of the Glazer family.
As expected by everyone, the acquisition of Gretz was resisted by almost the whole of England. Considering all aspects, they were unwilling to become the owner of Manchester United to become an American.
Before Chelsea was acquired, Abramovich faced great pressure, but Chelsea's influence is definitely not the same as that of Manchester United.
The most unacceptable thing is the leveraged buyout method used by Glazer to acquire Manchester United.
Glazer used his own very little capital as a basis, and then used Manchester United's fixed assets as collateral from the investment bank of Morgan Bank, and used a high-interest loan of nearly 3 million pounds for acquisition activities, and then took part of Manchester United's revenue every year. Make loan repayments, which is a typical leveraged buyout.
After the completion of the acquisition, Manchester United will suddenly become the most indebted club in the world from the richest club in the world. This is simply a disaster in world football.
At the usual 7% annual interest rate on business loans, Glazer would have to repay £4600m a year in interest alone, or £12.6 a day.
Although the Manchester United club only needs to bear part of the loans of the Americans, the actual interest that Manchester United needs to repay each year is only 1855 million pounds, but even so, this will still be a huge burden on Old Trafford in the next few years. The total annual profit is only 1940 million pounds, which is almost enough to pay off the debt.
There is no doubt that the purpose of Glazer to Manchester United is only one word: money.
Everyone believes that this rich American has no interest in football at all, and he has no intention of becoming interested in football like Abramovich. He is only here for money.
Glazer did make money, with United's shares jumping 13% immediately after the Americans bought them.
Manchester United fans have marched many times before to protest the Glazers' takeover of Manchester United, and a group of fans called for a boycott of home games near the end of the Premier League, but all these pleas have been ignored, and the Americans still proudly sold 59% of Manchester United's shares. Put it in your pocket.
Like Abramovich, Glazer doesn't understand football; but unlike Abramovich, Chelsea spent real money to make Chelsea a powerhouse in world football, but Glazer didn't get the slightest favor from Manchester United fans at all.
After the official announcement that Glazer had successfully acquired most of Manchester United's shares, Manchester United fans collectively said that if Manchester United became a club for Americans in the future, then they would resolutely boycott Manchester United's home games. It's not good news, because ticket revenue is not a small amount for a club.
The mood of the fans is easy to understand, but who can save Manchester United at this time?
Sorry, no one!
Maybe, that person is Murdoch, a top rich man who will not regard Manchester United as a tool for making money like Glazer, but unfortunately, everyone rejected Murdoch's acquisition a few years ago, so time There will be no turning back, nothing will happen again.
No one can prevent Manchester United, a centuries-old giant in England, from becoming a tool in the hands of capitalists.
Perhaps David despised the Italian Pozzo family for treating football as an industry before, but compared with the Glazers, the Pozzo family seems to be insignificant again, and there is still a certain essential difference between the two.
At least the Pozzo family will have a basic investment in the club and a long-term plan on the premise of making money, but the Glazers are even more naked.
Of course, David will not take care of Manchester United's life and death. Although he is also capable of solving Manchester United's troubles, he will not do it, because in England, he only needs a club in Notts County. It is to turn Notts County into the top giants in world football.
The Red Devil is dead, maybe he can burn paper for it!This is already David's most humane approach!
He is not God, it is impossible for him to save everyone, everyone has to take responsibility for the mistakes they make, David has no responsibility, let alone the obligation to pay for Manchester United.
It is estimated that Abramovich, like David, is quietly watching the development of the situation with the idea of watching the excitement at this time, but obviously David is in a better mood, because the championship of Notts County is already a certainty, but Chelsea is once again. After swallowing the bitter fruit of failure in the long season, especially for Abramovich who has invested heavily, such a result is definitely not what he wants to see!
