It's basically a way of stitching up his 3rd party owners, Sporting wanted more money as they only receive 25% of any fee. So we paid less but loaned them Nani. He was gonna sit on the bench anyway so at least this way we might stand a chance of getting a fee for him at the end of the loan.m3sye said:
Interesting that.In a nutshell Utd, you've been had.

That does come across as quite excessively anti-Utd for the sake of it. For instance, I think it was on MoTD last weekend, they had a graphic that showed Utd had spent the second largest amount of money on players over the last 5 years in Europe. Behind only PSG.However I do agree with the overall tone of the article. I think the Glazers are in danger of doing more damage to Utd than Hicks and Gillett ever did to LFC.
The man knows what he's talking about...though might be a bit ambitious with his targets.

That was on Monday night football, have to say that surprised me. more than city more than Chelsea more than real...It does seem that the Glazers could sell a minority stake in the club and wipe out the debt (and reduce the criticism they get) and be left with a similar net asset value, the club would then save 50m of interest per year and be more profitable, ie more valuable
I guess they have worked out it is better to keep the debt (which inflation reduces over time) and keep taking large cab withdrawals to line their pockets.
They do come across as savvy but ruthless investors who don't give a st about the club or fans. Don't envy you - we had same situation with Hicks and Gillette and got lucky when the got booted out

The debt is Utd's, not the Glazers, so it's up to the club to pay it off!I guess they have worked out it is better to keep the debt (which inflation reduces over time) and keep taking large cab withdrawals to line their pockets.
