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.
