Interestingly enough it seems that Manchester United are far from happy with the concept of anchoring from The Guardian Manchester United to fight Premier League’s proposed changes to PSR rules ‘Anchoring’ would tie wages to bottom club’s TV revenue United said to prefer model of higher investment ...

I see there's a headline lower down on the page letting us know that the Manchester United youngster, George Best, passed Busby's test.

There's lots of football history around on personal websites, youtube, etc. Sometimes though the provider has to quit for various reasons and the material is often lost.

I’m not sure what exactly is wrong with someone buying a football club and spending millions to improve that club. You can’t have it the way it is. It isn’t a sport as is. Man Utd will always be light years ahead of Burnley, say. Why doesn't an investor who wants to invest in Burnley have the right...

I'm a bit sceptical about this. Sounds like a step towards football being state run.

One function will be to grant operating licences to clubs. One of the essentials for a licence seems to be financial reporting. Maybe we'll find out a bit more about bfc finances, like who ultimately owns us !

The £170m was confirmed in the October 4 2021 Offer letter to the small shareholders where a minimum price per share was specified (the actual sum is less than £500 below £170m) - there was the potential for it to be more based on performance but we do not know if that was ever triggered, I suspect...

bfc8

The key bit is that the £65 million is part of the £115 million. ALK had to pay the previous directors £X million. They borrowed (in stages) £115 million from the club. The club borrowed £65 million from MSD (and replaced by new loans) so that the club could make up the £115 million it was lending ...

bfc8

It has been a while since I went through this so I will repeat there was an initial down payment of £10m from ALK, plus £65m from MSD and circa £23m from the club, following that there was another £14m borrowed from the club and that is where some people get £37m from because that was in the July 2...

the £114.8m is made up of the £65m from MSD washed through the club and £49.8m directly from the club

and yes I saw that Telegraph report to

But I thought original takeover was £170m for 84%.
£15m their money, or separately borrowed, £55m bank, £100m bfc, in round terms.

It could be wrong but I seem to remember there was something to do with the time frames imposed on the borrowing in terms of when it came on stream, ALK's borrowing from the club was staggered - either way the the total borrowed is £114.8m which falls well under the 65% threshold - The Glazer takeo...

Perhaps one day the PL will be expanded a bit from 20 up by letting others apply to enter. And the divisions a bit like the nfl with play-offs and a superbowl type PL final, keeps more clubs in contention for longer and no relegation. Could go to say 36 teams which I think the nfl number.

The takeover valued the club at £202m - there was £65m borrowed from MSD and in this equation we have to ignore what was borrowed from the club.

Hadn't realised that borrowing from a club not included in leverage %, seems a little odd.

Not unknown for teams to do a 'Lazarus'. 13 games to go, 7 points off 17th, 11 points off 16th, and Everton in 17th could get some points reinstated.

That's a tough one, bfc8. Are you expecting every fan to have accounting and corporate finance qualifications? No. Looked at the bfc 44 page accounts again just now.

^^^^ Clubs only allowed to spend their revenue if below the flat cap, borrowing to get up to cap not allowed.

The current UEFA and latest PL rules lay down player spending, transfers, salaries, etc as a % of revenue, so clearly clubs want to maximise revenue that counts under the formula.

Old v. new stadium.
Debate currently about Man Utd OT. One argument for a new stadium is natural life span of an old one, OT would need massive works on electrics, water in/out, wifi, etc, etc. Means new stadium while costing more may be more economic due to very large costs of renovation.
