Looks like an interesting Season

Agreed on all the above, but just how much did the Glazers have when they acquired Scum? F00k all.

Their success have been built of leveraging the asset, something our owners seem reluctant to do (maybe past experience causes them to be cautious?) Thing is the insularity of decisions made before the age of the Internet aren't possible anymore, and that visibility should make those make such decisions more confident of "stepping out" than the who came before.

The club had heaps of money from the Ferguson era so they didn't buy a championship team with no money. Much easier to build on that. Glaziers were billionaires and own a big sports franchise in the states. Don't forget billionaires get that way by not doing shifty business and probably have stored billions in other people's names eg family members.
Again much easier to build on Man U success than to where we came from
Currently, they have legit $4.7B and that's not with the sports assets MAn u which they paid 1.2 bil and don't know what the other team is worth.
So all together they would be worth close to 10 bil.

Forgot to mention they are Jewish and I have yet to meet a poor jew lol ( Not meant to be racial either)

You don't buy an asset-poor organisation then leverage it's potential. The organisation may be worthy of investment, but only if there are the funds to do so (and the Glazers have done next to f00k all putting their hands in ther (deep) pockets)

Why would they as the club looks after itself? As long as the money keeps rolling that's how the rich like it and the fact they don't put the money in the pocket is a bonus to them.

Because if you're intelligent (unlike certain previous LUFC owners), you don't put your own money (or the clubs) at risk if you can persuade others to do so instead. If all goes t1ts up, you walk away, and if not its trebles all round!

Can go either way as some others may not see success on the horizon and not put their money in. People make money on the stock exchange by focusing on up-and-coming companies and successful ones. As they say, the cream is in the pudding.
Radz knew he was on a winner as the previous crazy Italian in all his madness paid out most of our debts. So he bought cheap and now he can end up a winner even if he was to sell tomorrow. The only thing Radz didn't predict was the Covid madness

Not that simple due to Financial Fair Play rules and the maximum loss a club can make over a three year period. Been skewed for the last couple of years due to COVID but that stops owners just pumping money in like the old days. It is supposed to make long term planning and sustainability a thing but some of the cynics might think it is a good way of maintaining the status quo as it makes it harder to bridge the gap to the top 6.
