We didn’t want a repeat of Jose with Conte or Ten Hag/Amorim with Nagelsmann (although he has way better credentials). So we’re getting our Moyes equivalent with Howe.
Joel Glazer was once so hands-on as owner and co-chairman that he would speak to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward “several times a day” about the day-to-day business at Old Trafford.
One ESPN source said Joel was so involved in the club’s daily operations that he even had the final say on expenses as trivial as paint orders for the Old Trafford maintenance team.
Joel also vetoed plans to furlough United staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, insisting that employees remain on full pay despite the cost to the club [@MarkOgden_]
One source has told ESPN that the Glazers are waiting for the right time to cash in and sell their #mufc shares.
The failed European Super League project in 2021 denied the Glazers an obvious opportunity to sell, but another source has identified two other potential triggers for a sale:
• The construction of a new stadium, which would increase #mufc’s value.
• The prospect of Man City being expelled from the PL, leaving a major rival out of the race for major trophies [@MarkOgden_]
Since 2005 Premier League clubs have had a total interest cost on borrowings and financial debt of £3.5bn.
One club and one set of owners is responsible for 35% of the total.
