MUST call for Glazers to clear Manchester United debt



The Manchester United Supporters Trust have repeated their call for the Glazer family to use the proceeds from their intended Singapore Stock Market flotation to wipe away the club's massive debt.

Even MUST, who have always opposed the Glazer families ownership of United, admit the latest figures, revealed on Thursday, are impressive.

However, whilst acknowledging the work done by commercial director Richard Arnold and his staff, they believe most of the credit should go to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

And, in acknowledging how Ferguson managed to collect a record 19th title and a place in last season's Champions League final with minimal investment in his squad, they now want the debt cleared to allow United to really punch their weight.

"The commercial team at United are clearly smart operators and we welcome continued growth in the business but to be fair we've seen growth consistently year after year long before the Glazers took over," they said.

"There is only one man who is responsible for that consistent success - the same one responsible for success on the pitch - Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Without the incredible performance on the pitch and the fantastic loyal support of thousands of match-going fans, as well as millions more around the world, there would be no platform on which to build the growth of the business.

"So while the financial results are strong, they also show that the Glazers have taken another £51m out of the club in the last 12 months as well as using an even bigger chunk (£64m) of the club's money to pay down part of their bond debt.

"This is money that the club has generated and money that should stay in the club rather than go to Florida or to pay down the Glazers' debt and interest.

"That's why we're calling on the Glazers to use any share sale in Singapore to clear all of the club's debt - debt that they put on the club and they must take responsibility for."

The Singapore venture provides the backdrop to United posting record operating profits of £110.9million.

This comes from record revenue of £331.4million - an increase of £45million from last year and passing £300million for the first time.

Commercial turnover for the Premier League title winners and Champions League finalists reached £103.4million, with matchday turnover (£108.6million) and media (£119.4million) also up.

Net debt, meanwhile, is down to £308.3million due to the club's vast cash reserves.

Manchester United Rated World’s Most Valuable Team

New York. Jakarta Globe - American football’s Dallas Cowboys were rated the most valuable US sport franchise at $1.85 billion on Wednesday in a Forbes magazine survey, but Manchester United still leads the world at $1.9 billion.

The financial details released gave the Cowboys a $150 million edge in worth on their nearest US sport rivals, Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees, but the English Premier League club still edged them for global valuation.

Forbes calculations of total revenues and profits were based upon the 2010 season, but valuations were made after the NFL club owners locked out players for 4 1/2 months until mid-July, just ahead of pre-season training camps.

The report, which ranked the average NFL team value at $1.036 billion, comes on the eve of the 2011 season, which opens Thursday with the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers facing the New Orleans Saints.

The New York Giants made the biggest value increase, 10 percent to $1.3 billion, after moving into a new stadium last year. The New York Jets, who share the stadium, jumped seven percent to fifth overall at $1.223 billion.

Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, also own the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had the worst drop in value at five percent to $981 million.

In all, 18 teams increased in value, nine decreased and five stayed the same, including the Washington Redskins, who were second overall at $1.55 billion with the new England Patriots third at $1.4 billion.

The NFL boasted 15 of 32 clubs worth $1 billion or more, with the Jacksonville Jaguars last on the list at $725 million.

Two teams reported negative operating income for the 2010 campaign in the survey, the Detroit Lions at a deficit of $7.7 million and the Cleveland Browns at $2.9 million in the hole.

tergantung dr sisi mana dibilang stabil bro
Utang glazers ke bank ya tetep sebanyak dulu, hanya aja profit yg dy dapet perlahan berusaha digedein bwt nutupin utang td. Jadi utang masih tetep dan bakal selalu ada, berlaku bwt semua klub.. Jadi bukan berarti kita masuk urutan pertama Forbes kemudian berbanding lurus dgn rasio utang

Berapapun utangnya yg penting bisa menuhin aturan Financial Fairplay yang uda berlaku musim depan. Itu yg terpenting... bisa dibilang saat itu baru boleh dikatain Stabil

EXCLUSIVE: Qataris in new £1.5bn-plus United bid

Manchester United are a £1.5billion-plus target for a new takeover bid by the Qatari royal family.

Top Middle East sources revealed last night that an official approach to the Glazer family is being made and a deal could even be clinched by next week.

The American owners - who have angered fans by running one of the world’s top clubs in their own controversial way - could be open to doing business, despite past refusals.

The super-rich Qataris think United is a good deal - even at the profit it would make for the current rulers and other shareholders.

Qatar has already won the right to host the World Cup finals in 2022 and some of their wealthy elite have bought into top European projects at Spanish club Malaga and French giants Paris St Germain.

Now United is the prize - although the exact identity of the buyer is being kept under wraps.

The Mirror understands that a delegation from the Qatari royal family, headed by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, will be in Manchester on Monday in a bid to conclude the deal.

The news would be a boost for boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who is trying to compete with neighbours Manchester City’s new wealth, which also, ironically, comes from the Arab world.



orang-orang dunia arab ini ada nomor serinya kagak si duitnya?...

[fredrian.seven]

Pilih mana... dibeli Qatar atau sebagian kecil saham dilepas di bursa saham? Sama-sama tetep dikuasai pihak luar meski klo dimiliki Qatar bisa jadi "lebih baek" dibanding Glazer.

Tambahan... United dah dapet persetujuan buat ngejual sahamnya di bursa saham singapura.

Manchester United Said to Get Singapore Exchange’s IPO Approval
Joyce KohSep 15, 2011 11:26 pm ET - washpost.bloomberg

Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Singapore’s stock exchange approved Manchester United’s application to raise about $1 billion in an initial public offering in the city-state, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

As much as two-thirds of Manchester United’s offering will likely be in preferred shares, which may carry at least double the dividend of ordinary stock while lacking voting rights, said the people. The declined to be identified as the IPO process is private.

Singapore’s bourse lured United in part by offering a speedier approval process for the IPO, bankers with knowledge of the matter said last month. United applied for the Singapore listing on Aug. 18, people familiar with the deal said.

United’s dual-share structure offers a way for the Glazer family to retain control of the football club after the IPO, the people said. Spokespeople for United and Singapore Exchange Ltd. didn’t immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment on the approval.

The company hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley as so-called bookrunners for the IPO together with Credit Suisse Group AG, three people with knowledge of the matter said last month. United also picked BOC International Ltd., CLSA Asia- Pacific Markets, CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. and DBS Group Holdings Ltd. as co-lead arrangers for the offering, the people said.

United’s parent company, Red Football Ltd., this month posted a record full-year operating profit of 110.9 million pounds ($175.4 million) for the 12 months to June 30.

Status Manchester United sebagai salah satu klub tersukses dan terkaya dunia rupanya menjadi incaran beberapa investor. Salah satunya adalah Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar.

Berdasarkan sumber internal keluarga kerajaan kepada Mirror, pendekatan sudah dilakukan kepada Keluarga Glazer. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Tani bakal menjadi delegasi Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar untuk bernegosiasi pada Senin (19/9/2011) besok.

Ketertarikan Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar untuk mengambil alih Man. United tak lepas dari ketidaksukaan fans terhadap Malcom Glazer. Taipan asal Amerika Serikat itu dinilai fans menjalankan Red Devils dengan cara kontroversial. Termasuk dengan menggunakan utang pihak ketiga.

Besar tawaran Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar itu tidak tanggung-tangung. Konon, uang 1,5 juta pounds atau sebesar Rp 20 triliun disiapkan untuk mengambil alih Red Devils.

Ketertarikan itu tentu bisa menjadi sinyal positif bagi Sir Alex Ferguson. Dengan didukung oleh kekayaan melimpah, manajer Red Devils itu bisa bersaing dengan rival sekota, Manchester City, yang telah lebih dulu bergelimang uang dari pengusaha minyak asal Timur Tengah.

Sementara, rencana Glazer untuk melepas saham ke Bursa Saham Singapura (SEM) sudah mendapatkan lampu hijau. Rencananya, saham yang dilepas akan bernilai satu miliar dolar AS.

Lebih besar mana sih ? Dividen utk pemegang saham atau bunga pinjaman ? Yang mana yg lebih murah , itulah yg dipilih donk ya

Qatar ? Gw bingung . Bukannya PSG juga sahamnya dimiliki oleh orang Qatar ya ? Sama nggak , dng calon investor United ? Kalau sama , bukannya ada aturan orang tidak boleh punya saham lebih dr 50% di klub yg berada pada 1 federasi (misal : UEFA , AFC , dll)

Bingung ah ...
