United-fans raser: Glazer-familien putter over 100 millioner i lommen
Manchester United har i dag offentliggjort regnskabet for 2019/20-sæsonen.
Her kunne Manchester United-direktør, Ed Woodward, oplyse, at indtægterne lå på £509 millioner og dermed har oplevet en stor nedgang. Ift. sidste sæson lå indtægterne på £627,1 millioner.
Derudover er klubbens gæld også stedet til £474,1 millioner, som er en stigning med £270,5 millioner over det seneste år.
Mange store virksomheder har – grundet corona-pandemien – droppet aktieudbytte til virksomhedsejerne, men det har man ikke gjort i Manchester United.
Seks familiemedlemmer fra Glazer-familien ejer i alt 77 procent af klubbens aktioner, og dermed vil de få £17,7 millioner i aktieudbytte. Det svarer til 145 millioner kroner.
Den beslutning har igen fået Manchester United-fans til at svine Glazer-familien til:
Despite £118M in lost revenue and unable to make priority signings, the board have decided to pay out dividend to shareholders for the second time this financial year. Glazers will recieve the majority of over £23M.
Meanwhile, debt is almost doubled and near £500M.#GlazersOUT

So we are going to lose £140M thanks to COVID.
Not the Glazers though.
They still take their dividends.
Christ I hate them.— Sav (@jonmikesav8) September 24, 2020
The club and the fans continue to pay off the Glazer Debt yet it’s going up and up and up whilst the owners take dividends from the club and enhance their personal wealth WAKE UP!! #GlazersOut #WoodwardOut

Ed Woodward told us Man United needed to be cautious in their summer transfer dealings.
All the while he knew the dividends paid to the Glazers would INCREASE from January.
Manchester United isn’t a football club, it’s the Glazers retirement plan.— Nora Calder (@NoraUtd) October 21, 2020
How can United fans still sit back and allow Woodward and the Glazer's run this club? Change needs to happen. Jadon Sancho wants to come. Ole wanted him. The money is there. And they've allowed the deal to collapse. Absolute disgrace and all about dividends and mugging of fans
