QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Apr 11 2007, 01:23 PM) Actually, that's how almost everything is dealt with (Not just football..) .. take a loan and insure it with ur assets .. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yes but this is 750m pounds... nobody's done that before in the football business.

QUOTE (dst @ Apr 11 2007, 12:41 PM) Laugh all you want pal... This is a freaking fact. The loaned out all that money. I didn't say that Liverpool are risking anything, I said I'm praying for it!! It's not about that damn it. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) QUOTE even the Glazer bros put on money of their own!! It's about the Glazer family. What you said... it seems that they're doing a pretty good job there. Well, we've Brilliant who I believe knows Glazer's things better than anyone in this forum. I'm waiting for his comment. About the Liverpool... Gillett and Hicks, I asked sometime ago a Montreal Canadiens fan in this forum about their owner (Gillett). He said many good things about him (just like the United fans (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ), I was surprised TBH. Any info you want from the Liverpool owners just call bigmacmtl. He knows what he's talkin' about. At least better than the great majority of the people down here, I believe.

I only said that even they put money and 'even' goes to the fact that United's buy out was the cheapest one in the history of football. And by that I mean they're pocket was not at all hurt... I can't even get why we're talking about the Glazers... QUOTE (Portugal @ Apr 11 2007, 01:51 PM) Any info you want from the Liverpool owners just call bigmacmtl. He knows what he's talkin' about. At least better than the great majority of the people down here, I believe. I don't care about the Liverpool owners! I just said that I would be delighted to see the Merseyside club go bankrupt! I said there's a slight chance that will happen and I meant as slight as Kaladze scoring three goals in a game he's not even playing...

QUOTE (Portugal @ Apr 11 2007, 11:51 AM) Well, we've Brilliant who I believe knows Glazer's things better than anyone in this forum. I'm waiting for his comment.. Haha, this is one of the things about English football I've never really got to grips with. I think how it stands currently is Manchester United on paper are about £650 million in debt. However since Glazier has been in charge the club's value has increased meaning lenders will easily invest in this. It's still a huge debt though, and yes Glazier did loan a substantial amount of it (I'm not sure how much or what percent). The Manchester United fans or most oppose/d the move due to they realised how would the debt be paid, through their pockets came to mind, higher ticket prices, merchandise etc. There were also rumors about Old Trafford being renamed to accommodate a massive sponsorship money deal to pay back a large chunk of the debt, this really annoyed the United fans why should their stadium be renamed? No one really knows anymore what United will get for transfers, you imagine they will get some but no where near what they used to due to winning trophies and revenue being put back to pay the annual £60 million of debt, if they don't it could be the worse decline of a football team ever. Whilst things are going fine now, if they stop winning and hit a few rocky seasons like previously it could be big trouble for United. I do think this would be hugely unlikely though, people are always going to follow United and put money into the club like they do Barca and Real Madrid and I think Glazier is aware of this. The hatred has died down slightly, but I for one certainly think Glazier isn't in this for the love of football, it's an investment he's not a football man he's a business man. Unfortunately for REAL football fans that's a bad sign when there clubs are used like this, fair enough if they have the money but if they don't well, Leeds United comes to mind...

Just about the rename, I mean... a sponsor-name = $$$. Some more millions per year... and that's what matters. Sooner or later that's going to happen with United, Liverpool, Chelsea... just like the "Emirates" thing in L'Arsenal.

Yeah it will, I guess Old Trafford is like the San Siro and Nou Camp though just so well known, whereas with Arsenal once they left Highbury, Ashburton Grove didn't have any ring to it as it was brand new so they thought we may as well just call it The Emirates. I guess most fans would come to terms with it if the club said well we will have the money to buy the likes of Villa and Ronaldinho or something, however the United fans are 95% sure a rename would just be to pay back the debt.
