Richest Club in the World...?
Forbes announced today that Manchester '£700 million in the red' United are the world's richest football club. Given the current state of our club, and the haemorrhaging of funds performed by our owners, this all made for rather strange and completely laughable reading.
However, undeniably, our universal adoration and unrivalled popularity has seen our assets and revenue (including merchandise sales, gate receipts and television rights) amount to a monstrous £1.2billion. The next 'richest' team - Real Madrid - are valued at a meagre £859million. Yet rather surprisingly, it wasn't the team placed number 1 on this pointless and completely misleading list that was able to spend £140million on two players.
Just imagine what position we would be in if had had all our 'riches' at our disposal...as opposed to being in the disgraceful position where 75p of every £1 that enters United is being used to service our debt.
1. United £1.19bn($1.84bn)
2. Real Madrid £859m ($1.32bn)
3. Arsenal £767m ($1,181m)
4. Barcelona
5. Bayern Munich
6. Liverpool
7. AC Milan
8. Juventus
9. Chelsea
10. Inter Milan
And the red knights are going to make everthing better.For heavens sake will we just wake up to the fact there all investors as well.And one guy who`s firm he works for is under criminal investigation.United need an out and out buyer,like city and chelsea.A certificate on my wall saying i have a fan share in man utd,means nothing to me.My grandparents raised me on man united.We are a club of honor and passion.Please get it right what ever happens.
