He didn’t have to do it at all. And any money he’s put in has been in exchange for equity. So these training ground improvements are actually coming from the Glazers.He bought in the only way possible.

Not sure if this is the right thread or not, so apologies in advance. But felt I had to share this as soon as I saw this. Because wtf have I just read??? If this is true, my hate for them has gotten worse(if possible).

They play in NFL facilities just about every preseason, so it can't be that much of a shock to them.

Exactly this... considering how much money they've taken out of our club and compare that with them apparently investing much more in the Bucs facilities and team and than do something this sly.I Think the point is about the Bucs specifically though.

It looks like they have some sort of new facilty, but it just looks like a big shed. Compared to the place in LA i dont think they have anything special as to wow the players, so as much as i distrust the Glazers i am not sure if i buy this story from the Ogmeister;

but maybe this is why they don't want the players landing with the bucs, sit down Giggsy boy (sorry i could not ignore that part of the website);

What I don't get about the whole PSR/FFP discussions with regards to United (sorry if this was talked about somewhere else in detail):
Clubs are allowed to make a loss of 15 Mio within 3 years. This is calculated basically as income minus expenses whereas player purchases are amortized according to their contract length up to maximum 5 years.
However, owners are allowed to cover up to 90 Mio additional loss for a 3 years period which the need to inject into the club. According to sources like Sky only Chelsea and Everton made use of this and we do not. This means that Sir Jim and the Glazers could buy players for 90 Mio right now just by paying out of their own pockets. It would not really be lost money as it would also raise the net worth of the club.
Also, investments in facilities etc. are not accounted for as expenses and have no impact on PSR/FFP as far as I understand.
And on top of that if owners of a club run a business they are allowed to make sponsoring deals with the club. These deals just need to be at arm's length. Maybe this is already the case but I am sure that the logo of INEOS or whatever the Glazer's company is called printed everywhere in context with United would be worth quite a bit if someone external would be interested.
So why is there always talk about Sir Jim and Co cannot do anything because of PSR/FFP?

Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
Tell me again how Ratcliffe is another Glazer...
In a moment where all and sundry are blaming the manager, castigating the players and slagging off the new owner let this serve as a reminder of where the blame for our current predicament really lies. Focus has been lost.
It’s incredible, this doesn’t surprise me but I still can’t quite believe what I’m reading. It shows exactly what the Americans really think of the club they profess to ‘love’.
