Manchester United tops Champions League revenue list
euFootball.BIZ - 6 Aug, 09

http://www.manutd.com/pix/oldTrafford/tr_header.jpg

English Manchester United appears to be at the top of their game when it comes to Champions League broadcasting and marketing revenue.

The top tier club beat out European Cup holder Barcelona by EUR 7 million in the latest figures, as reported by sportbusiness.com.

With 32 Champions League member clubs and EUR 581.8 million in shared UEFA revenue, the organisation designates about EUR 300 million between the teams.

Given the number provided by the clubs for the 2008-09 season, Manchester United secured EUR 37.8 million and Barcelona received EUR 31 million.

Bayern Munich earned EUR 34.6 million by the quarter-final portion of the event last season, which represented the second-highest amount. They were also the only German club eligible for the knockout rounds.

Sitting in fourth place is Chelsea, who reaped in EUR 30.5 million, with Milan falling closely behind at EUR 28.5 million.

Merchandise sold on match day and ticket sales were not included in the final figures, as they are not considered part of UEFA’s distribution system.

Sponsor Kostum MU Masih Termahal di Dunia
Edwan Ruriansyah

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs/728...mb_300_225.jpg


VIVAnews - Kostum Manchester United musim depan akan sangat mahal. Karena di dada Wayne Rooney cs tertera sponsor yang membayar kontrak termahal di dunia.

MU mendapatkan sponsor baru di dada, Aon mulai musim depan. Menurut SportsPro, salah satu perusahaan asuransi ini rela merogoh kocek 120 juta dolar AS dalam ikatan kontrak empat tahun. Artinya, MU mendapatkan pasokan dana 30 juta dolar AS atau Rp 299,4 miliar setahun.

Nominal yang diraih juara Liga Inggris (Premier League) tiga musim terakhir ini hampir dua kali lipat yang didapatkan Chelsea dan AC Milan. Hanya Bayern Munich yang mendekatinya dengan kontrak 25 juta dolar AS setahun dengan T-Mobile.

Sponsor Cheslea, raksasa elektronik Samsung, sempat dihubungkan dengan MU. Samsung membayar Chelsea 17,6 juta dolar AS setahun. Jumlah nyaris sama didapatkan AC Milan dari Bwin.

Untuk Real Madrid, Bwin memberikan 21 juta dolar AS setahun. Klub Liga Jerman (Bundesliga), Schalke meraih 16,7 juta dolar AS dari kontrak dengan Gazprom.

Di kostum United, Aon menggantikan AIG yang kontraknya selama tiga tahun berakhir pada Mei 2010. MU menyamai rekor juara Inggris milik Liverpoool, musim lalu. Kini, dua klub bagian Utara Inggris itu juara sebanyak 18 kali.

Aon menjadi salah satu perusahaan asuransi terbesar di dunia dengan 37 ribu pegawai di seluruh dunia, 5.400 di antaranya di Inggris.

Hublot clock unveiled

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/...ip,1.0&wid=500

Sir Alex and the United squad joined Hublot boss Jean-Claude Biver at Old Trafford on Friday afternoon to unveil the largest clock ever built by the Swiss company.


Standing at a height of 10m, it was specially created for the reigning English champions and features four clock faces. Sir Alex described the monument as "an amazing clock".

"It's incredible," he told MUTV. "And it's also going to act as an information centre for fans so they can find out what's going on in Manchester.

"I think this is very unique – there's nothing else quite like it."

The structure is comprised of a 10m tower in the shape of an H (the Hublot logo) and holds four two-metre-diameter clock faces. Located in the car park in front of East Stand, the clock tower overlooks popular gathering points for fans on matchdays.

Manchester United secures top spot for TV revenue
1 Sep, 09 | England | Television
Tags: Premier-League | Manchester-United |


The latest series of figures places English Manchester United at the top of the Premier League’s television rights list, with the club securing close to US 51.5 million last season.

The broadcast revenues represent GBP 1.75 million more than the club expected to bring in and GBP 1.4 million more than Liverpool, as noted by The Telegraph.

The total forms approximately 20 percent of United’s turnover, creating a record-breaking number for the club.

The Premier League issued slightly more than GBP 1 billion for the first time last season, shelling out GBP 790 million to the top 20 clubs.

Domestic income provided a near GBP 14 million to each Premier League club, while overseas revenue was split into increments of GBP 9.6 million.

Manchester United enjoyed GBP 15 million by finishing in first place, earning an additional GBP 13 million through live features.

Not surprisingly, broadcasting interest remains focused on the largest clubs, with Bolton, Fulham, Hull, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Stoke, Sunderland and Wigan securing only the guaranteed GBP 6 million minimum facility fee.

The Premier League offered GBP 70 million worth of parachute payments to Championship clubs, while an extra GBP 136 million was dispersed throughout the game.

Man Utd, Chelsea thrive in economic downturn - experts
07.10.09 | tribalfootball.com

The likes of Manchester United and Chelsea have successfully survived the global economic downturn.

The Deloitte Sports Business Group presented research that suggests top-flight football has been less badly affected by the downturn than most other industries.

Their report indicates that the average attendances for the first two rounds of the Champions League are up 5% year-on-year, Premier League grounds are on course to remain at 90% capacity for a 17th consecutive season and both TV rights packages and shirt sponsorship deals are thriving.

Dan Jones, a partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: "When the economic downturn hit, we expressed cautious optimism for football clubs that the strong and loyal supporter base and the security of long-term broadcast and commercial deals would provide some degree of buffer against the worst effects of recession.

"Leading football clubs and leagues outpaced the rest of the economy in the good times and now seem to be faring better than most in a challenging economic environment.

"Although conditions are likely to remain difficult in the short term, the fundamentals of football remain strong. Football is deeply integrated into many people's lives, and attending and watching live sport is habitual for fans who will sacrifice other luxury items before they will give up their sport 'fix'."

Liverpool were pleased with themselves when they announced their £80million, four-year kit sponsorship tie-in with Standard Chartered Bank.

It was believed their deal, which begins next season and matches the record agreement struck between Manchester United and American insurance bigwigs Aon, proved the Merseysiders could compete commercially with their arch rivals.

But Confidential understands that Liverpool are lagging way behind United, whose deal is worth closer to £100m.

Aon are understood to have dumbed down their numbers to avoid criticism in the global economic climate.

Meanwhile, Prudential are leading the race to become the FA Cup's latest sponsor, with current backers e.on in the frame to replace Coca-Cola as title sponsor of the Football League.

Manchester United are launching cost-cutting measures throughout the club.

The News of the World says free toast, porridge, tea, coffee, fruit juices and even Ribena will no longer be available to "non-essential" staff at Carrington. Sir Alex Ferguson has approved the changes, which will affect many of the 120 staff who work there.

Only "core staff" such as players, coaches and senior officials will be able to take advantage of the free food first thing in the morning.

"Non-essential" staff are being told to eat breakfast before they arrive at the club's training facility on the outskirts of Manchester.

The budget savings have also been endorsed by chief executive David Gill and chief operating officer Michael Bolingbroke.

Globacom, Manchester United in 5-year Sponsorship Deal
By Femi Solaja, 11.02.2009

Two giants, Africa’s leading integrated telecoms operator, Globacom Limited, and the world’s richest club, Manchester United of England, have signed a five-year sponsorship contract.

The two giants will unveil the partnership deal to the world press at Old Trafford on November 6.


Through the partnership deal, the telecommunications giant, reputed as Africa’s biggest supporter of football, will provide a unique chance for West African cadets to have an international exposure to top of the range training facilities at the Manchester United Soccer Academy.

The deal confers on both partners the right of association in three countries, namely Nigeria, Ghana and Benin Republic.
Globacom’s Group Executive Director, Mr. Paddy Adenuga, described the partnership as consistent with the company’s leading role in creating opportunities for African youths to give expression to their football talents.

Expatiating on why his company entered into the alliance with Manchester United, Adenuga said: “At Globacom, we have consistently played a leading role in identifying opportunities and providing platforms for positive transformation of youths through football. This new partnership with the world’s most famous football club will no doubt give impetus to the quest by kids in Nigeria, Ghana and Benin Republic to become world stars.”

In addition to the youth development programme, the deal also has a dream package for the millions of Manchester United Football Club fans in the three countries that will enjoy all expenses paid trips to Old Trafford to watch 14 live matches of the Premiership, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Adenuga also stated: “Globacom will continue to explore opportunities to satisfy the people’s deep passion for football and we believe that we can enrich such experience by making it possible for fans to meet their club heroes and watch them play.”

Manchester United Football Club fans who are Glo Mobile subscribers in the three countries will receive regular updates on their favourite team and players.
Globacom which started operations in 2003 is Africa’s fastest growing telecoms network.
It has connected over 28 million subscribers in Nigeria and Benin Republic. Its Ghana network is billed for launch before the end of 2009.

Propelled by its vision to be the biggest and best telecommunications network in Africa, Globacom has since commencing operations taken the lead in bringing the benefits of modern technological innovations, ranging from per second billing and GPRS to Blackberry and 3G plus high speed internet to the people.

It has also through its highly affordable pricing forced down the cost of telephone services in the markets where it operates.

Its most recent accomplishment is the landing of the gigantic trans-Atlantic Glo 1 submarine cable which links Africa to Europe and America with incredible bandwidth. The telecoms giant said Glo 1 will bring a new wave of prosperity to Africa.
Globacom is also involved in community development in its areas of operation, including sports sponsorship. It is the sponsor of the premier league and national football teams in
both Nigeria and Ghana.

It is also the sponsor of the CAF Awards for the past four years and the Glo Lagos International Half Marathon for the past three years.

Manchester United quiet in transfer market since Malcolm Glazer's takeover

Manchester United's retreat from the top end of the transfer market has been highlighted by official club figures which reveal that a net sum of only £32.4 million has been invested on new players since the Glazer family's takeover in May 2005.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/m...2_1536742c.jpg

By Mark Ogden
Published: 7:00AM GMT 04 Dec 2009


United's decision to walk away from a £10 million option to buy Partizan Belgrade teenager Adem Ljajic this week has prompted claims by the Serbian club that a 'financial crisis' at Old Trafford prompted the deal to collapse.

Senior United officials have strongly rejected Partizan's assertions by insisting that the decision not to sign the 18 year-old was based solely on his football ability.

But with the net spending under the Glazers amounting to an average of just £6.48 million a season, the club's failure to reinvest the £80 million banked from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid this summer has prompted fears among supporters that the club's main priority is now to service their £699 million debt rather than strengthen Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team squad.

The sale of Ronaldo, the £5 million raised from Fraizer Campbell's transfer to Sunderland and the decision not to take up a £25.5 million option to sign Carlos Tevez or the £10 million deal for Ljajic, has left United with an apparent £100 million transfer fund once the £20 million summer signings of Antonio Valencia and Gabriel Obertan are accounted for.

Duncan Drasdo, the chief executive of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust, said: "Whatever the reason for the Ljajic deal falling through, the fact is, with the revenues flowing into the club, Manchester United should be competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona for players of the calibre of Lionel Messi and Kaka. But instead, we have to carry the deadweight of the Glazers' ownership on our backs.

"The true picture will not be clear until after the January transfer window, but with the £80 million Ronaldo transfer fee, plus the supposed £25-30 million annual transfer kitty, a spend of £100 million would effectively be break-even.

"Supporters will rightly be asking where the money has gone when they've been forced to pay more and more through the huge ticket-price rises in recent years."

A spokesman for the Glazer family insisted during the summer that £60 million could be "reinvested in the squad, doing up the toilets or on new carpets", but United spent a mere £20 million on Valencia and Obertan during the closed season after refusing to meet the £35 million valuation of Lyon forward Karim Benzema.

According to United's figures, the club spent a net £8.1 million on transfers in the year ending June 2006, followed by £1.2 million in 2007 and £44.9 million in 2008 before making a profit of £38.7 million in 2009 following the sale of Ronaldo.

Since June of this year, United have spent a net £16.9 million.

Manchester City's £117.5 million summer spending spree highlights United's more cautious spending approach, with Ferguson claiming there is little value in the current market.

As a result, United have set their sights on the likes of Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik and Wolfsburg forward Edin Dzeko as recruitment targets rather than challenge Chelsea for the £40 million-rated Sergio Aguero.

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand is targeting a first-team return in the FA Cup third-round tie against Kettering or Leeds next month after undergoing intensive treatment on a long-term back problem.

Glazer family hit the wall over refinancing of Manchester United | Manchester United - Times Online

The Glazer family, the owners of Manchester United, are struggling to refinance their enormous debts amid concerns about the impact they are having on the club.

The Times understands that the Americans have been trying unsuccessfully to secure a refinancing package for part of the club’s £699 million debt for months, having failed in 2007 and last year, because of the bleak global economic climate.

Fans’ groups have cast doubt over whether they will ever see the £80 million raised from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portugal forward, to Real Madrid last summer reinvested in the squad.

Dragan Djuric, the Partizan Belgrade president, meanwhile claimed this week that United pulled the plug on a deal to sign Adem Ljajic, the Serbia Under-21 midfield player, because “maybe they are in financial crisis”.

United dismissed Djuric’s claims and a spokesman for the Glazer family has maintained publicly that there is plenty of money available for Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager, to spend on players, but supporters are unlikely to be pacified until they see the arrival of some big names or evidence that the spiralling debt is under control. The main concern is understood to centre around the £175.5 million worth of debt that the Glazers are personally responsible for, not the £518.7 million of loans secured against the club.

It is these so-called Payment In Kind (PIK) notes, money borrowed from US hedge funds that “rolls up” at an annual interest rate of 14.25 per cent, that the Americans are believed to have been trying to refinance.

The intention was always to pay off these loans within a few years of the takeover in May 2005, but while they managed to redeem some of the original PIK debt of £275 million, the credit crunch has made this difficult.

By the time the debt matures in 2017, it will stand at £580 million unless the Glazers can pay part or all of it off before then, or secure a preferential rate of interest. With the club also facing rising capital repayments from 2013, the PIK debt is a concern. It grew from £152 million to £175.5 million in one financial year.

Previous reports that the Glazers could persuade the banks to refinance by offering securitisation against future match-day revenues are said to be wide of the mark; ticket sales are already factored into the borrowing.

As such, given that the 14.25 per cent interest rate was agreed the last and only time the Glazers have been able to refinance, in August 2006 when the financial climate was rosier, they will do well to secure a lower rate unless they have something tangible to offer would-be lenders.
Gila Bungannya :-w
It is understood that United are operating well within the financial terms set by their lenders. However, Perry Capital and Citadel — the two US hedge funds that provided the Glazers with PIK loans — get a range of rights over the club in the event that their financial performance falls beneath a certain level, including the right to appoint their own directors to the board.

Ultimately, they could seize control of the club should revenues plummet.

Documents obtained by The Times also reveal that the terms of the loan put a cap on United’s spending.

A spokesman for the Glazer family said: “We continue to keep our financial options for the club under review just like any other business.”

Glazer family's debt is raising questions in Europe

By Rob Draper, Mail on Sunday Chief Football Writer Last updated at 10:25 PM on 05th December 2009


Bayern Munich have added to the growing consensus among European clubs that Manchester United face an imminent financial crisis because of the £700million debt laden on the club by the Glazer family.

Partizan Belgrade president Dragan Djuric raised the spectre last week by suggesting that a lack of funds might be a reason for United's failure to follow through on the proposed signing of Serbia Under-21 midfielder Adem Ljajic, even though United insist it is a decision made purely because of the strength of their emerging players.

But directors at Bayern Munich formed the same impression as Djuric in the summer when United made an early inquiry about the availability of Bayern winger Franck Ribery.

Bayern suggested a price in the region of £60million, heard nothing more and concluded that United didn't have the money to spend, despite the £80m sale of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Glazer family want £600m bond to cut Manchester United's massive debt
By Sportsmail Reporter Last updated at 11:04 AM on 03rd January 2010

Manchester United have asked banks to help them raise £600million in a bid to cut the massive debts they owe financial institutions.

United have been labouring under mounting debts since the Glazer family took over in 2005, burdened by the cost of the takeover.

The Americans have been desperate to refinance as interest payments soared to almost £69m last season on debts of around £700m.

Now the Glazers have asked JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank to assess a £600m bond issue, which would reduce interest payments, according to reports last night.

The family insist the club is not in trouble and, even though interest payments are rising, the cost is more than covered by extra profits.

United made £256m of cash in 2008, for a profit of £72m, but would struggle if the team were ever to fall out of the Champions League places.

Manchester Utd. Loans Gain on Reports of Refinancing
By John Glover and Tariq Panja

Jan. 4 2010 Bloomberg


The price of loans to Manchester United Ltd. rose after reports the Premier League soccer champion is considering selling bonds to refinance debt.

The club’s 520 million pounds ($840 million) of senior loans rose about 3 pence to 97 pence in the pound, said Alex Moss, head of high yield at Insight Investment Management in London.

The Glazer family of the U.S., which bought the club in a 790 million-pound buyout in 2005, plans to settle its 14.25 percent so-called payment-in-kind loan for which the family is responsible, according to reports in the Sunday Times and the Financial Times. The outstanding PIKs total about 202 million pounds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

“That the new owners could take on so much debt to buy a football club is a reminder of how widely the monetary madness spread in 2006/2007,” said Kit Juckes, chief economist at ECU Group Plc in London. “That they might be able to issue a new bond and start cleaning up their finances is indicative of how far quantitative easing policies have taken us.”

Sales of high-yield bonds soared in the second half of last year, as the market for debt rated lower than BBB- at Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 at Moody’s Investors Service reopened after a two-year hiatus. Under the terms of the PIK loan, hedge funds that own the securities can appoint directors if the club’s performance deteriorates below a certain level, the Sunday Times said.

Debt Payments

PIK notes allow borrowers to pay interest with more debt instead of cash.

A spokesman for the Glazers, who asked not to be named, declined to comment. Philip Townsend, a spokesman for Manchester United in Manchester, also declined to comment.

Under the Glazers, United has been among European soccer’s most successful teams, winning three successive league titles since 2007 as well as the European Cup in 2008. Alex Ferguson, aged 68, has been manager since 1986.

“There is some key-man risk with Ferguson, who presumably will bow out at some point,” said Moss at Insight. “And the club’s financial performance depends on its performance on the field.”

United’s parent company Red Football Joint Venture Ltd. said in an annual filing in April that its loss narrowed to 43.2 million pounds from 57.8 million pounds for the year ending June 2008. The company paid 68.8 million pounds in net interest, according to the filing.

Cup Loss

United suffered a 1-0 loss in the F.A. Cup third round to Leeds, a team ranked 43 places below United. The defeat was United’s first third round elimination since 1984.

The club’s chances of collecting a record 19th title this season were dented pre-season after former world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid and Carlos Tevez opted to sign with crosstown rival Manchester City.

The club didn’t use the proceeds of Ronaldo’s record 80 million-pound trade to recruit a marquee player. Ecuadorian winger Antonio Valencia, a 17 million-pound capture from Wigan, was the most expensive recruit, while striker Michael Owen and Frenchman Gabriel Obertan also joined. United said more funds were available but Ferguson decided against using them.

Last year United announced a four-year sponsorship with Aon Corp. that is worth 80 million pounds, according to U.K. media reports.

“They should monetize that,” said Stephen Schechter, founder and chief executive officer at Schechter & Co. in London, who’s helped teams including Newcastle, Southampton and Germany’s Schalke raise money. “Get payment up front and pay down the debt so that way you are not impugning the birthright of Manchester United.”

The club could also securitize gate receipts from its 76,000-seat stadium, he said.

Manchester United loans' price has gone up

English club Manchester United's loans' price has gone up following reports that the club is seeking to sell bonds to refinance its debts according to Bloomberg. The Premier League club’s GBP 520 million of senior loans gained about 3 pence to 97 pence in the pound according to the head of high yield at London's Insight Investment Management, Alex Moss. Bloomberg indicates that the American Glazer family, which owns the club, has payment-in-kind (PIK) loans of about GBP 202 million and the Sunday Times and Financial Times have reported that the family is looking to settle this debts it is personally responsible for after the 2005 buy-out. The Glazers paid GBP 790 million for the club and took on the 14.25 percent a year PIK loans at that time. Kit Juckes, who is the chief economist at ECU Group remarked that “That the new owners could take on so much debt to buy a football club is a reminder of how widely the monetary madness spread in 2006/2007. That they might be able to issue a new bond and start cleaning up their finances is indicative of how far quantitative easing policies have taken us.”
High-yield bond sales have grown rapidly in recent months and Standard & Poor's market for debt rated lower than BBB and Moody’s Investors Service opened after a two-year closure.

The PIK loan terms allows the hedge funds that own the securities to appoint their own directors if the club's financial performance becomes worrisome according to the Sunday Times. The PIK notes allowed the Glazers to pay interest with more debt rather than with cash.

Manchester United has done well under the Glazers and has emerged as a very successful football franchise with three successive league titles since 2007. The club also won the European Cup in 2008. Manager Alex Ferguson,who is 68-years old, has been with the club since 1986 and as Insight's Moss put it, “There is some key-man risk with Ferguson, who presumably will bow out at some point, and the club’s financial performance depends on its performance on the field.”

Red Football Joint Venture Ltd., United's parent company, made an April annual filing which indicated that it has narrowed its loss to GBP 43.2 million from GBP 57.8 million for the year ending June 2008. The filing also showed that the company had paid GBP 68.8 million in net interest.

So, are you sure you've got £60m to spend at Manchester United, Sir Alex?

By Ian Ladyman
Last updated at 1:25 AM on 07th January 2010

When stories of Manchester United’s supposed interest in the unemployed former England defender Sol Campbell surfaced a month ago, manager Sir Alex Ferguson decided it was time to make a point.

After instructing in-house journalists to ask him about the issue, the Scot did not mince his words in reply.

‘It’s been suggested we were moving for Sol Campbell, that we don’t have any money and that we wanted to take somebody cheap,’ he said. ‘That’s all wrong.

‘The money is there, if I want to buy someone. There is no question about that. That a fact.

Ferguson had, by all accounts, grown tired of suggestions that United were being crippled by the debt bestowed upon them by their American owners, the Glazers. It was, he thought, time to add a voice of genuine authority to the debate.

The problem is, though, that many United followers no longer believe him.

With just £20million of the £80m reaped by the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer so far reinvested in a team that has shown inconsistent form at times this season and Ferguson showing no signs of spending any more, there are increasing fears that the Glazer regime is — for the first time — severely impacting on the manager’s budget.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/...34_468x286.jpg

Recent revelations that the Glazers are trying once again to reorganise their enormous £700m debt, this time by attempting to chop part of it up into saleable bonds, have certainly set alarm bells ringing.

So, for some time, has the series of small cuts behind the scenes at Old Trafford that smack of a big football club desperately trying to make tiny savings wherever it can.

Redundancies have recently been made in the accounts department, for example. Some staff are no longer entitled to free lunches at the Carrington training ground and at Old Trafford on match day.

Meanwhile, some contributors to the match-day programme and official club magazine have complained of slow payment.

United admit that cuts have been made at the club but argue that they are merely behaving in line with the way any large company would in an attempt to offset the effects of a worldwide recession.

The club also claim that the transfer budget for Ferguson is separate to that used to cover day-to-day running costs and point to the fact that a £30m cash offer was made to French club Lyon for the striker Karim Benzema in August as evidence that Ferguson does have cash at his disposal.

That, however, was August. This is now. And it is beyond doubt that the Glazers’ financial grip of affairs at the club they bought in 2005 is becoming ever more precarious.

Having taken on debts of £598m to take the club into private hands four-and-half years ago, the Glazers have subsequently seen that figure rise to £699m and beyond.

This is largely because of the phenomenal interest due each year on the £275m they borrowed from three hedge funds at the time of the takeover.

In the financial year ending June 2008 — United’s last published accounts — as much as £60m was paid in interest alone. That’s £165,000 a day.:!!

With one bout of refinancing having taken place on the whole debt in 2006, the Glazers are now thought to be embarking on another, aimed specifically at rearranging the section still owed to the three hedge funds.


Neither the family’s spokesman nor banks JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank have denied suggestions that the two institutions have been instructed to arrange a bond issue, something that would alleviate the immediate pressure of continuing to service their debt at high interest levels but would in all likelihood only add to the overall debt in the long term.:hiu:

At United, the mood remains relatively sanguine.

With Chelsea and Manchester City learning in recent times — City just this week — that their billionaire owners have wiped out the debt owed to them, United remain sceptical about their rivals’ long-term financial outlook.

How, they reason, do those clubs continue to pay their enormous wage bill if Chelsea’s Roman Abramovich or Sheik Mansour at Manchester City choose to sell up and walk away?

Nevertheless, thousands of United followers remain deeply resentful and suspicious of their own owners. To them, they are not the Glazer brothers but the Brothers Grimm, those tellers of tall tales from the 1800s.

During the Glazer years, supporters have seen trophies continue to arrive but they have also seen ticket prices rise and net spending on players remain relatively low.

The family have always denied that they would resort to such drastic measures as selling the naming rights to Old Trafford to raise money or indeed selling the stadium altogether and leasing it back.

To the rank and file, though, those fears remain in the forefront of their minds.

A large cheque written out at Ferguson’s behest, signed by chief executive David Gill and offered to a club such as Bayern Munich for a player such as Franck Ribery would go a long way to settling a few nerves, of course.

For now, that doesn’t look like happening. It is perhaps no wonder that suspicions of parsimony remain.

Manchester United announce £48.2 million profit
Manchester United have reported pre-tax profits of £48.2 million for the year to June 30, 2009.


http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/m...o_1556585c.jpg

The figure includes the world record £80m fee collected from Real Madrid for the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo and also £41.9m paid out in interest on a mammoth loan of £509.5m.

Turnover was also up, from £80.4m in 2008 to £91.3m a year later.

The figures were released on a morning when United officially confirmed their intention to raise £500m through bonds in order to refinance their debts.

While United are at least in profit once more, the figures merely emphasise what a drain on resources their debt position is.

Without the sale of Ronaldo, United would have been reporting a loss of £31.8m, a situation that clearly is unsustainable over the long term, hence the Glazer's refinancing plans.

"Manchester United today announced that it will be seeking to raise approximately £500m aggregate principal amount from an offering of senior secured notes due 2017," said a United statement.

"The notes, whose proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt secured against the club, will be issued by MU Finance plc."

Manchester United aim to raise £500m in bond sale in bid to reduce mounting debt
Manchester United have confirmed they plan to raise £500 million in a bond sale as the Glazer family aim to restructure the club's punishing £699m debt.


By Mark Ogden
Published: 7:40AM GMT 11 Jan 2010

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/m...d_1556463c.jpg

Having bought United in a £790m takeover in May 2005, the Florida-based Glazer family have since seen the club’s debt rocket. In 2008, interest payments of £69m accounted for £72m of profit.

But with Sir Alex Ferguson’s first-team squad flying out to Qatar on Sunday for a warm-weather training break, the club has confirmed that moves are being made to raise £500m in bonds.

A United statement said: “Manchester United today announced that it will be seeking to raise approximately £500m aggregate principal amount from an offering of senior secured notes due 2017.

“The notes, whose proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt secured against the club, will be issued by MU Finance Plc.”

United manager Ferguson had insisted on Friday that the club’s debt was unrelated to his spending power and that he had substantial money to spend following last summer’s £80m sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

Ferguson said: "I have got all the money I need. The money is available and, if I wanted to buy someone, I could get the money.

"I could easily have spent the Ronaldo money but I didn't want to do it because I couldn't see any value in the market. Believe me there is no impact (on the transfer fund)."

The move to issue bonds is aimed to alleviate the Glazers’ Pik (payment in kind) loans which are carry a 14.25 per cent interest rate. The outstanding loan is understood to be approaching a figure of £200m.

Ferguson added on Friday that he believed the bond issue was a good move for the club’s financial situation.

He said: "I don't have any concerns about the financial situation. There is absolutely no issue at all with the club’s finances.

“There is debt there, but it has never interrupted my plans for the team at any stage.

“I have no issue at all. There has been talk about a bond issue and I think that's a good thing for the club. Anything that helps with the repayment of the debt is a good thing.”

MANCHESTER UNITED LOOK FOR A £500M BOOST



WHILE Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad trained in the warmth of Qatar yesterday, the cold reality of Manchester United’s financial problems was confirmed back in icy Great Britain.

Without the £80million world record sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid last summer, United would have reported a £32m loss for the year ending June 30, 2009.

And they paid nearly £42m in interest charges on the £509m debt incurred by the Glazers, their controversial American owners, to buy the club five years ago.

The club continues to make pots of money, with turnover up more than £22m to £278.5m and the operating profit up to £91.3m. After depreciation and amortisation of players’ contracts, the pre-tax profit stood at £48.2m, compared with a loss the previous year of £21.4m.

But the turnaround was almost entirely down to the sale of crowd idol Ronaldo, while the figures emphasise the drain on United’s resources from servicing the huge debt and why the fans are so angry and cynical towards the Glazers. It is clearly an unsustainable situation and the Glazers confirmed refinancing plans yesterday to raise £500m through a bonds issue.

United are under pressure from UEFA to reduce their financial burden and the bonds plan follows the decisions of Manchester City’s owner Shiekh Mansour and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to wipe out the debts of their respective clubs by converting personal loans to equity.

United do not have a super-rich benefactor, hence the refinancing plan which invites banks and wealthy individuals to take out bonds for seven years with a fixed rate of interest – but, crucially, far lower than the amount the Glazers are paying at the moment.

The bond issue is aimed specifically at the Asian financial markets where United have a huge following.
Financial experts also say it will be a significant barometer in how football clubs are viewed in the current climate.

A club statement said: “Manchester United today announced that it will seek to raise approximately £500m aggregate principal amount from an offering of senior secured notes due in 2017. The notes, whose proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt secured against the club, will be issued by MU Finance plc.”

However, the club will not be able to touch the controversial £175m worth of “payment-in-kind” notes that are currently attracting an eye-watering 14.25 per cent interest.

These “PIK” notes are the Glazers’ personal debt and it is highly likely another refinancing avenue will be explored to try to reduce that interest which is rolling up annually at a staggering rate. In the days when United were a successful public limited company they offered plenty of information on a six-monthly basis, including being a forerunner in stating what agents’ fee they had paid out.

But now there is no financial requirement to do so, information is being kept to a minimum.

But the figures released yesterday effectively confirmed what fans already feared – United continue to make money on and off the pitch but much of it is being creamed off to service the Glazers’ debt. Supporters believe Sir Alex Ferguson’s hands are being tied when it comes to signings, a perception he rejected on Friday when he said: “I don’t have any concerns about the financial situation.

“There is absolutely no issue at all. There is debt there, but it has never interrupted my plans for the team at any stage. There has been talk about a bond issue and I think that is a good thing for the club. Anything that helps with the repayment of the debt is a good thing.

“I have got all the money I need. The money is available and, if I wanted to buy someone, I could get the money. I could easily have spent the Ronaldo money but I didn’t want to do it because I couldn’t see any value in the market.”

But the fans will not be satisfied until a team that is regarded as a fading force is strengthened by some major new signings. Ferguson did offer £35m for Karim Benzema last summer but was gazumped by Real Madrid, who paid Lyon £42m .

Of the £80m from the sale of Ronaldo, Ferguson has so far spent only about £24m on Antonio Valencia (£17m), Gabriel Obertan (£3m) and Mame Biram Diouf (£4m).
