What happens in 2/3/4/5 years time when we're £6M or whatever in the red and he's had enough? Utd are a business to him and when his business fails, he bails.

    And for the record, I have no issue with the Foundation giving the club money to survive. My issue is giving every penny they have to a club run by a multi millionaire who has more money than the Foundation will probably ever make in its lifetime.
    There will be a point where he has put in enough and want's out if he can't turn the loss's around I agree it's the same with anyone in the world just different amounts they are willing to invest.You reckon he will bail when debts reach £6 million or so what are they now? that might not take 3 or 4 years.The more the foundation put in along with other ways of raising funds the less chance of that hitting the £6 million or whatever mark in the pandemic.You havera problem with the foundation helping the club while a millionaire also helps the club you think he should do it on his own.How much do you think he should pump in to utd before you think the foundation should try to help out?He has already put in £4.7 million plus money he paid to buy club and whatever he has put in since accounts not sure how much altogether but to me loads of money to you obviously not enough money.How much do you reckon he has put in altogether?How much do you reckon he is worth?How much do you think he should put in before he asks the foundation to help?

    The media never hammered United for asking fans for more money,they mainly focussed on the wages to turnover ratio and the debt on the last balance sheet.We were laughed at on Radio Scotland for criticizing both government's for lack of financial support when we were already millions in the red before the pandemic arrived.
    From what i can remember at the time we were praised for our efforts in supporting the club but the owner and his Sporting Director left us open to ridicule and even the Funsters jumped in,that's what really happened.

    Yeah some trolling funsters tried to make out that the foundation helping utd was a bad thing looking for a bite and seems they got it.
