Actually, as I understand it, United is a private company and not publicly traded anymore. It was, but not any more.

zeus, tecknician & GCM touche x 3. I do see your points now.

I just hope it never reaches a point where we have to sell players like leeds.

hopefully, success this season will help clear that debt.

this is not alarming at all. the news may sensationalize it, but the bottom line is that this is a common business practice. in case anyone has forgotten our beloved club is, in fact, quite a business. if anyone thinks differently, explain to me why we license Manchester United shampoo?! so what we see here is a simple case of some business loss. if we were still publicly traded, the stock prices would see a tiny dip as a result of such a small loss (in comparison to the club's wealth). ultimately, the glazer takeover has enabled us to move into a new era, where players of world class quality can be bought easily and without fear of losing a mint of investors.

fret not all you reds, our club's financial future is very safe and secure.
