Worth a follow


The Glazers at Manchester United can't find it within themselves to give lowest paid staff a 58 pence an hour raise to take them to the real living wage, but have managed to pay £837,000,000 in interest charges since they acquired the club in 2005. #MUFC #YayForBankers

They borrowed the money to buy utd in 1st place leaving it £500m+ in debt.... while they've made probably £100m out if it themselves! :o

Are they not responsible for the debt?

No the club is... it's the way they bought the club that's why fans hate them ! Basically they borrowed against utd income streams shirt sales tv money ect .... couple years ago they made around $50m+ in share options, it's a cash cow for them that's for sure without the risks :shock:
