Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, have set a staggering $10 billion asking price to hand over the reins to the 20-time English champions.
According to the Daily Star’s Jeremy Cross, the reported figure would be enough to bring parasite landlords to the negotiating table.
This new news comes just a day after Sir Jim Ratcliffe made comments that he is willing to buy his boyhood club but would not wait if the current owners are unwilling to sell.
The Glazers have made it known they have no interest in parting ways with United, which generates record revenue annually.
If United opt for the $10 billion price tag, this would make the club the most valuable sports company in the world.
The NFL team, Dallas Cowboys, ranks first in the ranking of most valuable sports teams. They are worth $8b.
The Dallas Cowboys are followed by the New England Patriots and the New York Yankees baseball franchise valued at $6.4b and $6b respectively.
The Glazers took over the club in 2005 in a controversial leveraged buyout.
Since their arrival, they have been extremely unpopular with fans who have never been attracted to them.
The disgust for them has culminated in recent months with protests and even match boycotts with the intention of expelling them from the club.
United fans have for years been condemning his greedy practice of taking out dividends and payouts without investing anything. The result is that United have lost their prestige and, in terms of football and infrastructure, are farther away from their rivals than at any point in their history. illustrious story.
As long as they exist, dissatisfaction with their administration is unlikely to abate. A sale at this point also seems unlikely, especially if the claim that $10 billion is the price tag is to be believed. Unfortunately, it looks like the club is stuck with the Glazers for a little while longer.
