Penjualan Tiket MU Gagal Penuhi Target
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

Manchester - Ancaman boikot dari fans Manchester United anti-Glazer mulai menunjukkan gelagat buruk buat The Red Devils. Untuk kali pertama dalam beberapa musim terakhir, 'Setan Merah' gagal memenuhi target penjualan tiket.

Penurunan penjualan tiket di musim panas 2010 ini dikonfirmasi langsung oleh Presiden Eksekutif, David Gill. Tiket musiman yang sudah terjual saat ini berjumlah 51.800, sementara target yang ditetapkan sebelumnya adalah 54.000.

Meski mengalami penurunan, Gill menyebut kalau pihak MU belum sampai khawatir dengan kondisi tersebut. Selain mempertimbangkan kondisi perekonomian, dia juga
membandingkan penjualan tiket MU yang masih lebih baik dibanding klub-klub Premier League lainnya.

"Target kami tahun lalu adalah 54.000 tiket musiman, kami sekarang sudah menjual 51.800, yang sudah cukup bagus dalam iklim seperti ini. Kami menjual tiket musiman lebih banyak dibanding kapasitas dari mayoritas stadion di Premier League," papar Gill yang mengklaim kalau penjualan tiket kategori eksekutif masih sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan.

Dikutip dari Guardian, penurunan penjualan tiket tersebut disebabkan adanya ajakan boikot dari sekelompok fans MU yang menolak keberadaan Malcolm Glazer di Old Trafford. Kelompok yang menyebut dirinya Manchester United Supporters (MUST) itu sudah melancarkan aksi-aksinya sejak beberapa musim ini dan semakin genjar musim kemarin.

Penolakan terhadap Glazer tersebut tak lain disebabkan banyaknya utang yang dimiliki MU sejak pengusaha Amerika Serikat itu datang beberapa tahun lalu. Dalam laporan terakhir, The Red Devils disebut memiliki utang sebesar 717 juta poundsterling

Imbas dari kondisi keuangan yang banyak utang tersebut adalah minimnya aktivitas MU di bursa transfer dan tentunya seret prestasi, yang sudah dialami musim lalu di mana Ryan Giggs cs cuma bisa memenangi Piala Carling.

"Tiket untuk pertandingan menghadapi West Ham terjual habis dan kami harus memastikan kalau stadion terisi penuh di hari pertandingan dan kami akan melakukannya dengan memainkan sepakbola yang hebat, sepakbola yang traktif, sepakbola yang menarik, yang bisa mendatangkan fans ke stadion," tuntas Gill.

United sign Hong Kong broadcast rights deal
ESPNsoccernet - September 7, 2010

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0907/manchesterunitedfanschina20100907_275x155.gif

Manchester United have announced a deal with Hong Kong telecommunication giant PCCW, as the club look to further expand their operations in Asia.

PCCW will, in the next three years, become the official broadcaster of United's television channel MUTV in Hong Kong with the exclusive broadcasting rights of MUTV, MUTV Online and MU Mobile contents.

Supporters in the area will be able to see Sir Alex Ferguson's pre-match press conferences, reserve team games and matchday build-up and post-game analysis through mobile phones and PCCW's EYE2 portable media centre.

It is the latest in a long line of sponsorship deals with Asian businesses, with United continuing to build on their fervent fan base in the region by creating territorial partnerships.

United have similar broadcast rights deals in place with Saudi Telecom in Saudi Arabia, Airtel in India and Sri Lanka, Viva in Bahrain, Telekom Malaysia and Tri Indonesia, while Singha Beer has just replaced American brand Budweiser as the club's official beer - sold at Old Trafford on matchdays.

The broadcast deals stop short of showing live games as all the Premier League clubs are involved in the central negotiation of television rights, though there has been speculation over the years that the bigger clubs have been searching for a way to go it alone in order to find more lucrative deals.

United's brand can command significant amounts of money in sponsorship - Aon's shirt deal is worth £80 million over four seasons - and with a reported 193 million fans in Asia, the club have expanded their operations in the continent massively over the past few years.

Every country presents different challenges but as commercial director Richard Arnold admits, if United's strategy can work in Hong Kong, the template can be used in far more populous - and wealthy - parts of the world, which opens up untold possibilities.

"We continue to support the collective bargaining because it makes the Premier League incredibly competitive,'' Arnold said. "But there are other rights that centre around the club and players, where our access is not paralleled anywhere else.

"It would be very surprising not to put into place something that allowed you to communicate with fans all over the world.''

His argument is the loyalty of a supporter in the Far East or United States, where the Red Devils toured last summer and are supposedly heading back to again next year, who has to watch his favourite team at all hours of the night, is as strong as the traditional fan from Stretford.

"It is very emotive when you start measure what constitutes a fan,'' Arnold said. "The people who never miss a game are easily measured. How do you compare that with someone in Hong Kong, who is staying up until 4am to watch Manchester United play.

"The point is, no matter where you are, now it is a lot easier to get a lot more of what you want. Already Javier Hernandez, Chris Smalling and Bebe are household names around the world, despite having such minimal exposure with the club.

"Using media to reach the people who either can't afford, or aren't able, to travel to the stadium, can be connected to the club.''

In the Far East and the United States that is clearly through high-tech media. In parts of Africa, United have found radio is still the best method of communication.

"We have to adopt something sensible in each market,'' Arnold said. "Is this the road paved with gold? Put it this way, a football club has three sources of income; ticketing, sponsorship and media.

"Media has become the lion's share of that cake through collective bargaining. But the element left over could also be very significant.''

United commercial plan gathers pace
MEN, Simon Stone - September 07, 2010

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/874.$plit/C_71_article_1316269_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?07%2F09%2F2010%2015%3A59%3A55%3A595

Manchester United have offered the first glimpse of how they intend to maximise their massive global potential.

It was always felt the Glazer family had a grand plan when they completed their controversial United takeover in 2005.

The initial feeling was that it might involve finding a way to smash the central bargaining concept which underpins the Premier League.

Those theories were quickly dismissed by United's controversial American owners, who feel there has to be some element of competition within the league for it to retain its status as the most valuable domestic competition on the planet.

However, in establishing the concept of territorial partnerships within their marketing portfolio, it is only a short step to the kind of integrated media deal United announced with Hong Kong-based telecommunications giant PCCW.

Within Hong Kong, PCCW will broadcast MUTV in addition to making content available on-line, through mobile phones and its EYE2 portable media centre.

It means, for instance, that supporters will have access to Sir Alex Ferguson's weekly press conference at 12 noon UK time, barely two hours after it has concluded.

With reserve team games, pre-match Premier League build-up as well as post-match phone-ins, it is the nearest fans are likely to come to the club without access to the actual matches themselves.

Every country presents different challenges but as commercial director Richard Arnold admits, if United's strategy can work in Hong Kong, the template can be used in far more populous - and wealthy - parts of the world, which opens up untold possibilities.

"We continue to support the collective bargaining because it makes the Premier League incredibly competitive," said Arnold.

"But there are other rights that centre around the club and players, where our access is not paralleled anywhere else.

"It would be very surprising not to put into place something that allowed you to communicate with fans all over the world."

Arnold bristles slightly when it is suggested that the huge number of fans United claim to have - 193million in Asia - is rather stretching a point.

A fan can be many things to many people.

His argument is the loyalty of a supporter in the Far East or United States, where the Red Devils toured last summer and are supposedly heading back to again next year, who has to watch his favourite team at all hours of the night, is as strong as the traditional fan from Stretford.

"It is very emotive when you start measure what constitutes a fan," said Arnold.

"The people who never miss a game are easily measured. How do you compare that with someone in Hong Kong, who is staying up until 4am to watch Manchester United play.

"The point is, no matter where you are, now it is a lot easier to get a lot more of what you want.

Reds seal wine deal

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/bar_1129/2009_2010/MU_concha.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson, his players and United commercial director Richard Arnold, together with the chairman of Concha y Toro Alfonso Larraín and global marketing manager Giancarlo Bianchetti, officially signed the partnership between Manchester United and Concha y Toro on Friday. This three-year deal makes Concha y Toro the official wine partner of the Reds.

At a ceremony at Old Trafford, Sir Alex showed his enthusiasm for the sealing of this partnership, saying: “There are many similarities between wine and football. In football we seek the best young players to develop and form them from their beginnings to making them outstanding Manchester United players.

"I have seen a similarity with Concha y Toro, which seeks to harvest the best grapes, produce the best wines and have the patience and intelligence to ensure that the end result is perfect. Viña Concha y Toro shares these qualities with Manchester United and it is therefore a tremendous pleasure for me to be part of this partnership which I sincerely hope will have an excellent future.”

Alfonso Larraín said that “at this time when Chile is celebrating its bicentenary, we are depositaries as a company of the global recognition that our brand of wines has achieved, reflecting the history of Chilean winemaking throughout our life and capitalising on the positioning achieved. Chile is a world-class wine-producing country. This partnership gives us a visibility and unique reach for a wine brand and this is why today is a landmark in our history."

Richard Arnold added: “We're delighted to be introducing Concha y Toro to Manchester United’s family of partners. With the club constantly seeking to engage with our fans outside of the UK, Concha y Toro’s strong presence within the South American territories makes them a perfect partner for Manchester United. I'm incredibly excited about the prospects that this partnership will bring to the club.”

The signing of the partnership continues on Friday night with a gala dinner hosted by club legends, at which guests will celebrate the special moment of Chile’s bicentenary. Finally, on Sunday the guests will have the opportunity to watch United take on Liverpool in one of the biggest games of the season.

The deal will see Concha y Toro’s presence on the digital boards at all home games, in addition to their wines being served within the hospitality suites at Old Trafford. Concha y Toro will also have the rights to use the club’s intellectual property and official emblems for communicational purposes, providing them with opportunities for merchandising and co-branding.

Glazer's buy back 20% of Man Utd debt
16th Sep 2010 - Money & Finance

http://fcbusiness.co.uk/cms/thesite/public/uploads/news_large/1284715292_441.jpg

Manchester United’s owners have, according to reports, bought back around 20 per cent of the high-interest loan owed by the company they use to control the Premier League club.

According to news agency Bloomberg, the US-based Glazer family bought part of the payment-in-kind (PIK) loan issued by the company after the face value price fell during the global financial crisis in 2008 and may have paid as little as £12.6 million for the stake.

The PIK loan has increased to more than £200 million since 2006.

It is expected to be revealed next month, when United is scheduled to file its accounts for the financial year, whether they used funds from the club to pay down other debts.

The Glazers raised £526 million in January to re-finance United's debt, which now stands at more than £800 million.

Conditions in a previous loan determined that the owners had to pay off senior debt first before being able to pay off their other borrowings.

Manchester United gamble on future of stars with new contract policy
• Contract negotiations to start when player has one year left
• Previous policy saw discussions begin with two years left

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2010/9/19/1284905867708/Dimitar-Berbatov-006.jpg

Manchester United are taking a calculated gamble about the future of several key members of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad after bringing in a new policy about contract talks to save the club millions of pounds in wages.

Dimitar Berbatov, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Park Ji-sung are among the players who will be affected after the club's owners, the Glazer family, abandoned the old policy of initiating negotiations once a player is two years from the end of his contract.

Instead, the club are willing to delay contract talks until the player has only a year to go, a point at which his transfer value is already depreciating sharply. Previously, when the club operated as a plc., the club were eager to tie up players to new contracts with two years to spare, the idea being to demonstrate to their shareholders that the club were trying to protect their assets.

That no longer applies now the Glazers have control of the club and the Americans, together with the chief executive, David Gill, have decided it makes good business sense not to increase their wage bill any further if it is unnecessary. It runs the risk of United losing players for deflated transfer fees but the club are relaxed about that possibility, believing most, if not all, the players involved will want to stay at Old Trafford.

The policy is described as flexible, with each case being judged on its merit. Talks have already started, for instance, about offering Wayne Rooney a financial package that would make him the highest-paid player in the club's history, even though his current deal does not expire until 2012. Nemanja Vidic finalised a new contract at the start of the season and, once the Rooney negotiations are concluded, it is expected there will be discussions with Patrice Evra, who also has two years to go.

As for Berbatov, Fletcher, Carrick and Park, their position is not so clear and it may be that they have to wait until next summer before being offered new terms. In total, United have eight players out of contract in 2012, with Anderson and John O'Shea also among those not regarded as priorities.

The policy decision follows the Glazers' introduction of a new rule that stipulates the club will not buy players aged 26 or above for significantly large transfer fees, the reason being that they will have little or no re-sale value at the end of a contract taking them into their 30s. Dimitar Berbatov was signed from Tottenham Hotspur for £30.75m at the age of 27 two years ago but that was as an exception to the rule and, in the words of Gill, the "last of his kind".

Instead the club will continue to go down the route they took with Cristiano Ronaldo by trying to find young players who can develop into stars of the future. Their three summer signings – Chris Smalling, Javier Hernández and Bébé – all fit into this category, with the latter lined up to make his first appearance in the Carling Cup tie at Scunthorpe United tomorrow.

Federico Macheda will start in attack, probably alongside Michael Owen, with the former England international now relegated to the role of fifth-choice striker at Old Trafford. Anderson is also expected to make his first start of the season now that he has recovered from a cruciate ligament injury. The Brazilian's relationship with Ferguson has been strained at times over the last year but the United manager is hoping his player can re-establish himself in midfield, today being the two-year anniversary since the injury-plagued Owen Hargreaves last started a match.

Klo bener diberlakukan berarti nantinya negosiasi bakalan berkaitan erat sama loyalitas pemaen ya. Klo pemaen kurang loyal dan lebih condong ke duit bisa-bisa perpanjangan kontrak bakalan ditolak coz pemaen jadi jual mahal. Buat fletcher, Park dan O'shea rasanya kebijakan ini tidak terlalu terpengaruh tapi buat pemaen2 utama yang jadi incaran klub laen seperti rooney bisa2 jadi blunder. Tapi untungnya kebijakan ini tidak kaku dan tentu fergie dah berhitung tentang itu.

Net loss to undermine Man United's record results
ESPNsoccernet - October 8, 2010


Manchester United are expected to announce a £100 million operating profit on Friday, becoming the first English club to do so.

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0324/glazerbanner20100321_275x155.jpg
Manchester United fans have protested strongly against the Glazer regime

However, the good news is bound to be overshadowed by the detail, which is thought to confirm an overall £60 million loss.

United are understood to have seen a decline in corporate ticket sales since the start of last season, but the club's owners, the Glazer family, have succeeded in making the most of the United brand. The Glazers set up individual telecommunications partnerships across the globe, making greater use of the club's name and popularity, with a revolutionary 'territory specific' approach to their commercial dealings.

Nonetheless, the overall loss will provoke further anger among many of the club's supporters, who have long protested the Glazer ownership and the club's growing debt.

A hefty one-off cost was incurred following what turned out to be a successful £500 million bond issue earlier this year, but fans will be interested to discover whether the Glazer family withdrew cash themselves, as the bond prospectus indicated was a possibility, to pay off part of the £200million-worth of PIK notes, which are attracting interest at an eye-watering 16.25%.

It was thought a takeover bid would be launched last summer by the Red Knights group, who are keen to get rid of the Glazer family. However, with the Americans unwilling to do business - a price of £1.5 billion was rumoured at one stage - the Red Knights backed off, believing paying such a large sum did not represent a realistic market value and would just create even more problems.

United confirm significant losses
ESPNsoccernet - October 8, 2010


Manchester United have confirmed their full-year operating profit stands at a record £100.8 million - but their overall losses are £83.64 million.

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/1008/glazerprotest20100509_275x155.jpg
Many United fans have been keen to oust the Glazer family

United became the first English club to generate over £100 million in operating profits in the results, believed to be down to the Glazer family's global marketing initiatives, but the owners have created a heavy debt burden.

Interest payments accounted for £40 million, while there was also a hefty one-off cost for the successful £504 million bond issue earlier this year.

The statement on the club's official website also pointed to the signings of Javier Hernandez, Chris Smalling and Bebe, as well as new contracts for several first-team players, and wages rose by 7% to £131.7 million.

The club's overall turnover has grown 2.9%, from £278.4 million to £286.4 million, while media revenues rose by £5.1 million to £104.8 million.

However, match-day revenue dropped 7.9% from £108.8 million to £100.2 million during the financial year, with United playing fewer games after suffering a quarter-final exit to Bayern Munich in the Champions League and a third-round FA Cup exit to Leeds United.

Perhaps the most significant factor in the results is that there is no mention of funds being taken out of the club by the owners to pay their £200 million-worth of PIK notes, which are now attracting interest at 16.25%.

The record operating profits, though, indicate that the club is still a hugely attractive proposition in terms of its global brand, and suggest there is little truth to the notion that companies are reluctant to be involved with the Glazers after repeated negative headlines.

MUST response to MUFC financial results - more losses
In response to Manchester United's financial results a MUST spokesperson said:


"The financial results today continue to demonstrate the tremendous revenue generated by Manchester United - directly or indirectly through the unparalleled loyal support the club receives. Sadly those supporters are let down by owners who continue to extract millions from our club. Imagine how successful we could be without the millstone that is the Glazers' ownership.

Under a supporter ownership model, or even the debt free plc model prior to the Glazers takeover, this huge revenue stream could largely be reinvested in the Football Club (squad, stadium, ticket prices) rather than being leached out by the Glazers.

The pressure continues to build on them - with greater competition domestically it is going to become increasingly expensive just to maintain a place in the Champions League and the huge debt burden makes the club extremely vulnerable to any dip in revenues such as that which might be triggered by a decline in on the pitch performance. When Sir Alex retires the chances of maintaining anything like the same level of success look remote without massive investment. So the clock is ticking for the Glazers - and for the supporters too. It is time for every Manchester United supporter to join together through the supporters trust and demonstrate their desire to not only see a change in ownership but to participate in it too.

It is only a matter of time before the opportunity for a change of ownership comes and supporters need to be ready. MUST membership has grown to 163,000 but this is the tip of the iceberg and we want to see membership approaching a million (there are 3 million members on the MUFC Facebook group alone) to coincide with supporters opportunity to invest in the club when the Glazers agree to sell."

Gill: No pressure on United to sell
MEN, Martyn Ziegler - October 08, 2010

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/273.$plit/C_71_article_1345201_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?08%2F10%2F2010%2014%3A14%3A32%3A714

Manchester United chief executive David Gill insists there is no pressure to sell star players such as Wayne Rooney despite the club making losses of £83.6million.

Gill said the club would still prefer to have "Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch than £80million in the bank" as proof of their desire to keep players.

Although United's group operating profit topped £100.7million, after player-related costs, interest payments and a number of expensive one-off costs related to the bond issue, overall there was a record loss for the club.

Gill said the accounts released on Friday were "very good" with excellent revenues, and said there should be no concern about United going down the same road as Liverpool, whose American co-owners have struggled to finance their ownership.

The United chief executive did admit the figures could be confusing to fans who saw a record turnover of £286million for the year ending June 2010 contrasting with the record losses of £83.6million.

For the previous year the club had returned a net profit of £48.2million thanks to the sale of Ronaldo, but Gill said the Glazer family who own United had not pushed for that move, nor would they for any other player. He added that United's balance sheet includes £165million remaining in the bank if Sir Alex Ferguson wants to buy new players.

Gill said: "We are not a club that needs to sell. We have money in the bank so there is zero pressure on that, no pressure at all to sell any star player whether it is Wayne Rooney or X,Y or Z. I can categorically say that.

"There was no desire at all from anyone at the club to sell Cristiano - he wanted to go and as a result we managed to extract a world record fee.

"These philosophy is to retain and attract the best players. We have £165million in the bank but in some ways we would prefer to have £80million in the bank and Ronaldo on the pitch."

Payments

Gill said part of the losses related to one-off payments after bank loans were turned into a bond, totalling £47million. He added that if 'goodwill' losses - an accounting practice relating to the original takeover - of £35.2million, and foreign exchange losses of £19million (which should be recovered next year) and depreciation are ignored, United would have an actual profit of about £25million.

Gill added: "There are very good results for the club with records here, there and everywhere but they are complicated with non-cash items and exceptional one-off hits."

Fans' group have raised concerns that there could be parallels with the Liverpool crisis, where the holding company may be forced into administration next week over unpaid debts following a leveraged takeover, and the Glazer ownership of United.

Gill however insisted that was not the case.

He added: "I can't speak for any other club but the United fans should not be concerned, we have a long-term financing structure in place, excellent revenues that are growing, we are controlling our costs - total wages are 46% of turnover - and we can afford the interest on our long-term finance.

"In our opinion if something changed in the ownership this club will survive and continue - it is covering the financing cost more than adequately.

"We still have cash to invest in players and to give good contracts to players and we are comfortable with the business model."

The figures show that United's wage bill rose by 7% to £131.7million, while United's overall debt rose to £521.7million.

It may also appease some critics that according to the figures, the Glazers have not taken any money out of the club to pay any of their £200million-worth of PIK notes that are now attracting interest at 16.25%.

Gill added: "They have retained that money in the bank and it's there for Sir Alex if he needs it for players, and for investing in the training ground and the stadium."

United are confident that they will meet UEFA's financial fair play rules despite the figures because not all the paper losses - such as depreciation - are included by UEFA when they calculate whether clubs are only spending what they earn.

Apparently some people are happy that we have posted a £83.4 million loss! (albeit with a few one-offs and non-cash items which I will explain later in the post)
There are of two types of exceptional losses, recurring and non-recurring.
1) The loss on the cancellation of swap is around £40m which is a one-time non recurring expense. So yes, even though it will not be here, it is still a CASH loss for this year, which would not be there if the Glazers had not put us in debt in the first place. This has not all been paid off. Only £12.7m has been paid yet and hence out of the £163m in the club’s bank account, £28m you can count out because that will go eventually to pay this balance.
2) The amortisation of goodwill is on the consolidated income statement, not on the income statement of United and hence will not save the club on tax either now or in the future. It may save tax for the Glazers, not the club (but even if it saves the Glazers some money, that’s a good thing because it means they potentially take less money from the clubs coffers in the future).
3) Amortisation of debt issue costs and discounts is a recurring item and will save the club taxes, but the cash hit on it was already taken when issuing the bonds. In fact, if I remember correctly, the amount of issue costs was around £40m which is being amortized over 6 years as around £6.7m every year. The cash hit has already been taken i.e when issuing bonds for £504m we only got cash worth £464m. That’s a straight £40m CASH LOSS (which would not have been there if not for the debt).
You can’t see these adjustments because the Glazers have not released the Cash flow statement.
4) Forex losses – although these are not cash losses today, they may become potential CASH losses in the future if the exchange rates do not turn favourable for United. As for saving tax, they may well do depending on the taxation rules of the UK. I’ll look at the taxation rules of UK in detail and clarify it later.
5) The amortization of player registrations saves the club on tax, but this has nothing to do with the Glazers. This item is there on every clubs books and will always be there. In fact, one of the ways big-spending clubs recoup their cash is by this item. Suppose Real Madrid buy Ronaldo for £80m on a five year contract, they can save on taxes worth £40m over a period of 5 years, assuming the tax rate to be 50%! So almost half the players worth is recouped by saving on tax itself in this way.
6) The way that the operating costs of the club have been brought down is indeed commendable. This shows an incredibly well run business in this respect. However, we must remember it came at what cost. The free snacks and food for non-playing staff were removed when that had been going on for many years, staff wages were frozen (only this year have they given a 6.5% raise to compensate) and so on. This has an effect on the morale of the staff at the club. Nevertheless, in financial terms, it is commendable without doubt.
7) The commercial turnover has risen, no doubt as a result of the Glazers efforts for which they must be lauded.
However, wouldn’t it be fair to assume that United by itself, without the Glazers, would have made some progress in increasing the commercial income? With Peter Kenyon before and David Gill now, it’s not as if the Glazers were necessary for these improved commercial deals to be made.
8 ) The debt can be serviced if we continue doing what we’re doing. But the income stream at the top is highly dependent on United continuing to be successful in winning leagues, going to latter stages of Champions League and winning trophies every year! What if we can’t sustain the success for a couple of years? With the massive amount of financial leverage, can you imagine the effect on the earnings if we don’t do well for a couple of seasons?
9) The interest on the PIK continues to roll up at 16.25% interest. Please tell me a risk-free investment that gives annual return of >16.25% in the world out there at this point of time. I guess the the financial money managers of the world would have figured it out by now if there was. Risky investments might give you such returns but what if those risky investments fail, and what kind of risky investments will continue to give >16.25% pa compounded for the next 6 years continuously? Not even the equity markets can give you that sort of return continuously for 5-6 years.
On a positive note, let me point out that we are NOT SKINT as the ABU media/MUST would have you believe. We still have funds for player purchases.
The fundamental point being that the debt was not productive debt. The £500m pounds wasn’t used to buy new productive assets (players), was not used to build a new stadium (as in the case of Arsenal and the Emirates) but merely to gain control of United and unproductive debt is obviously a bad thing.

Kayaknya tidak akan ada pembelian pemaen baru. Menurut ramalan ki jaka pinter, januari besok tidak ada pembelian pemaen. Skenarionya adalah Cleverley balik dan Hargo mulai pulih. Jadi jawaban yang muncul adalah United punya skuad yang potensial dengan pemaen muda yang bagus plus "no value in the market". Jadi ya tidak ada pemaen baru..

Simon Chadwick, pakar bisnis sepakbola, berpendapat, apabila MU ingin menutupi kerugiannya, mereka harus meraih trofi gelar BEPL pada musim ini, plus minimalnya, menembus semifinal Liga Champions.

"Kini, MU harus menjaga brand dan sukses komesialnya. Caranya, menjadi juara BEPL dan semifinalis Liga Champions," tandas profesor Coventry University tersebut.

Musim lalu, kata Chadwick, secara prestasi, MU tidak sukses. Akan tetapi, mereka mengalami peningkatan pendapatan. Ironisnya, sebagian besar pendapatan itu untuk membayar utang jatuh tempo, dan sedikit belanja.

Jika musim ini gagal meraih gelar domestik, dan tidak mampu mencapai semifinal Liga Champions, penghasilan MU berpotensi turun. Imbasnya, situasi finansial Setan Merah mengkhawatirkan.

Supernan
10-10-2010, 12:21 PM
Yak silahkan pakar keuangan mereviewnya :)

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_L3EGLVYtPHE/TK8OdWf1KdI/AAAAAAAAAQs/UBe_mLeUEZ0/s640/results+09-10.png

Revenue up 2.9% year on year, compares to 10.2% pa achieved 2000-2009. Lower growth down to "poor" season vs. 2008/09 impacting matchday and TV income. Media is boosted by the start of the new three year CL deal. Commercial growth remains strong.

Costs control at United has been very good. Like all clubs, wages continue to rise sharply (up 7% despite lower player bonuses) but other costs are down 15% leaving total costs flat. Much of this is due to fewer home games than last year and lower travel costs (not flying to a CL final sadly) and there is also an impact from lower expenses relating to various commercial contracts (these are not detailed or quantified and look to be a one-off).

With costs flat and revenue up 3%, EBITDA (pre-exceptionals) was up 9.5% to £100.8m. As ever United is a very well managed football club.

Below the EBITDA line we are back in horrible world of Glazernomics.

The £35.4m goodwill amortisation charge should be ignored, it's an non-cash accounting charge caused by the 2005 takeover and isn't a real cost.

The interest bill of £40.2m includes seven months of bank interest and five months of bond interest. It will be closer to £45m in the coming year.

The "amortisation of issue discount" of £6.7m reflects the fact that the bonds were issued at c. 2% discount to their face value (of £100 or $100) but must be repaid at that face value. The difference is accounted for every year to 2017, but the cost won't actually be incurred until they are repaid in 2017.

The big "nasty" in these number is of course the cost of terminating the swaps (which we learned about at the third quarter results). These swaps are derivative contracts taken out to hedge the interest paid on the old bank debt. The club fixed at a high rate in 2007 and by the end of 2009 when it came to unwind the contracts was sitting on a £40m loss. Although the whole amount is reflected in these accounts, only £14.6m has been paid in cash in 2009/10, the balance will be paid over the next six years. These derivatives were only required because of the debt placed on the club in 2005. This is £40m of costs incurred for no benefit to the football club at all.

The final interest related cost is the unrealised foreign exchange loss of £19.2m. This is another non-cash item reflecting the fact that at today's exchange rate, the cost of paying back the US dollar denominated bonds would be £19.2m higher than their original (sterling) value. As with the "amortisation of issue discount", this can be ignored. Who knows what the exchange rate will actually be in 2017.


Other key points

No money has been paid out of the club to redeem the PIKs. I have no rational financial explanation for this and nor does anyone else I have spoken to in the market. Without sounding like a poor man's Mystic Meg, I can only reiterate that I can see no other source to repay the PIKs other than United and that £70-95m will be used to do so at some point soon.

Net transfer spending (in cash so including ongoing payments for players acquired/sold in previous years) was £30.4m. Actual "additions" in note 11 of the accounts are shown as £25.7m, i.e. players with a value of £25.7m joined the club during the year regardless of the timings of payments. The club reveal that since the 30th June year end, further players have been bought for £8.3m. I can only assume this is Bebe.


Initial conclusions

Thankfully United is not Liverpool off the pitch or on it. This is (operationally as a business) the best run football club in England, it has been for nigh on twenty years. Manchester United are at no risk of going bust.

The tragedy for the club is that so much of the profits are wasted in interest, fees and charges. To ensure the club can cover these, ticket prices are far above the level they would need to be if the club was debt free. Net investment in the playing squad is low and the coincidence with the need to service the debt is too great to ignore.

Damn the carpetbaggers at Anfield and Old Trafford
Posted on 13 October 2010

To say that there has not been any love lost between Manchester United and Liverpool fans for many years is stating the bleeding obvious. But to say that it has always been that way is a gross exaggeration because history shows that it’s far from being the case. Legendary godfathers at both clubs like Bill Shankly and Matt Busby shared a long standing, close friendship, so to feel a degree of empathy is not at all unnatural. The two most decorated football clubs in England are currently going through a crisis not of their own making and for one to derogatory sneer at the other is well beyond the dignity of each. Quite frankly, the humiliation that Liverpool Football Club is going through at the moment could turn out to be the same that Manchester United will be forced to endure in the not too distant future – thanks to greedy carpetbaggers who saw football in general, and two great clubs in particular, as easy pickings to try and make a fortune.

Not to put too fine a point on it, and to be absolutely blunt, the **** hit the fan at the Royal Courts of Justice in London where Oliver Holt from the Daily Mirror filed a report that should send shivers down the spine of fans from both clubs – it may well have been Liverpool today but there’s no guarantee that Manchester United will not be forced to face the same chaos in the near future.

As Holt reports – The lawyers in Court 16 at the Royal Courts of Justice sat squashed into five rows of nine seats. Now and again, junior counsels weaved in, staggering under the weight of stacks of folders they carried in their arms. They call them bundles and they piled them so high on the desks that the QCs could barely see over them until they rose to speak. Claimants and defendants, applicants and respondents, squeezed in between them, blank and beaten down, staring up at the high vaulted ceiling, the leaded windows and the oak panelled walls.

Mr Justice Floyd came in at 10.30am sharp. He was dressed all in black with the happy exception of two strips of red cloth that dangled from his neck to his chest. He disposed of the ordinary stuff first. The small fry filed out, allotted to another court, told to learn their fate elsewhere. Lloyds TSB v Williams Gee Yeung Law was over in half an hour or so after a lot of talk about Hong Kong dollars and a mention of ‘affidavits that are questionable in the extreme’. And then it was the Royal Bank of Scotland PLC v Hicks and others. The main business of the day. The benches emptied a little.

The RBS counsel, Richard Snowden, stood up and began to talk. People passed yellow Post-it notes back and forth between the desks and whispered instructions or advice to each other. Papers rustled, people fidgeted, opposing lawyers sniggered or shook their heads dismissively or exchanged knowing glances.

Paul Girolami, QC for Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, interrupted almost every sentence he spoke with the words ‘as it were’. Lord Grabiner, QC for Liverpool, pronounced Gillett’s name three different ways in the space of a couple of minutes which seemed to suggest he was hardly a student of the game. And so the full glory of the law was visited upon Liverpool Football Club yesterday. It felt like a descent into Hell.

A place where usurers are the closest thing you can get to the good guys because the alternative is Hicks and Gillett. A place where old barristers who charge £3,000 an hour, men dripping with cynicism and contempt for everyone around them, get cheap laughs by talking about a football club’s civil war. A place where Liverpool is cut open and its guts spread out before the court for these people to try to settle their petty disputes and claw back some of the millions they have lost because of their greed.

That’s why it felt like hell in Court 16 yesterday. Because it felt as far away from the passion and the glory and the spontaneity of Anfield as it is possible to be. It felt wrong that Liverpool should have been dragged here to this sinister, eerie place that has hardly changed since Charles Dickens set part of Bleak House here.

It is a place of clandestine conversations in hidden alcoves, of heaving sobs, of deceptions exposed, of Gothic creepiness and grand designs sent tumbling to earth. It is a place of verbal contortions and extended hopelessness and frustration. RBS v Hicks is scheduled to finish today but there were times yesterday when it felt as convoluted and depressing as Jarndyce and Jarndyce.

“There are not three Jarndyces left upon the earth perhaps since old Tom Jarndyce, in despair, blew his brains out at a coffee-house in Chancery Lane,” Dickens wrote in Bleak House, “but Jarndyce and Jarndyce still drags its dreary length before the court, perennially hopeless.” The Hicks-Gillett saga has started to feel like that, too. Perenially hopeless. Endlessly depressing. Brutally poignant. Maddeningly frustrating.

The Liverpool fans who stood in their Liverpool shirts with their arms folded high in the gallery, above the court, above all that detritus, must have felt like that. They must have stared down on that scene, that depressing scene of yet more men making yet more money out of their club, and wondered how it had come to this.

How had a great club like Liverpool, one of the greatest, proudest, classiest clubs in the rich history of English football, been brought so low? How had it been dragged so far from what it once stood for that it was being argued over by a group of men who care nothing for it in the High Court in London?” Holt concluded.

Some, and I do mean only SOME, Manchester United fans may feel a degree of satisfaction from that report but please understand that what faces Liverpool fans today is precisely what could be facing us in the not too distant future. Their despair could be ours before too long so let’s show a little solidarity so that if ever it’s required, we can be shown the same in return.

Is United likely 2 end up in the same mess as Liverpool has?Oh Lets pray, lads ;)

Gill : Kami masih bisa mendatangkan Bintang, tidak kalah dengan City.....


Gill: United can still attract the stars
Menmedia

Manchester United chief executive David Gill insists the club can still compete with big-spending neighbours Manchester City despite being overtaken in the pay league.

City's wage bill of £133million has rocketed up £50million in the last year, overtaking United's £131.7million and the Eastlands club, bankrolled by Sheikh Mansour, are closing in fast on Chelsea.

United agreed a bumper new deal with Wayne Rooney last week but are still maintaining their policy of ensuring wages remain less than half their turnover.

Asked if he was concerned that United were now behind Manchester City in the wages league, Gill said: "No not really - I'm not concerned by that as ever since we have been a public company we have had a policy that wages should be 50% or less of turnover.

"We believe we can do that and still retain and attract the stars we need on the pitch. We think that's the sensible model.

"Clubs have other models - that's their prerogative. Each to their own."

United have managed to match Chelsea on the pitch in terms of silverware since Roman Abramovich took over at Stamford Bridge.

Gill added: "That's exactly right - we have remained competitive."

United's latest financial figures earlier this month revealed that the club's wage bill is £131.7m. Chelsea's is £142m, City's £133.3m and Arsenal are fourth with £110m spent annually on salaries.

United's total wages are 46% of turnover - the lowest ratio among Premier League clubs, Arsenal have the next lowest ratio on 49% while City spend more on wages than their total revenue.

The healthy wages-turnover ratio is one of the reasons that United are confident that they will meet UEFA's financial fair play rules despite the sums they have to pay out in interest to service the loans taken out by the Glazer family when they bought the club in 2005.

Pete Barrow: The green and gold dilemma

Oct 29 2010 | by Peter Barrow, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

IT MUST be very perplexing to be a fan of Manchester United.

For those of us on the outside looking in, especially if you tend to be a Red Devils detractor, it is easy to point the finger and chuckle.

The last seven days alone have seen United claim to have pulled off a coup by re-signing England striker Wayne Rooney for five years – while the rest of us are thinking that the little ginger scouser’s agent Paul Stretford has pulled a real fast one in gaining his client a huge pay hike while the striker has hardly produced the goods on the field the best part of a year.

United also seemed to be wanting to be regarded as wonderful benefactors by buying Nobby Stiles World Cup winner’s medal for a record £188,200 at auction – while the rest of us are thinking Rooney could have given up a week’s wages and helped out the gap-toothed Old Trafford and England legend and the hero of 1966 could have kept his medal.

And looming on the horizon (although admittedly the chances are it may be a fairly distant one) is the conundrum that I think all football fans want to see – Manchester United FC against FC United of Manchester.

The club formed by fans in 2005 have made rapid progress up the non-League pyramid and have made their mark by reaching the FA Cup first round and face a derby tie against Rochdale.

The FA Cup being what it is I am sure I am not the only one who would love to see the boys from Bury battle their way through to a third round clash at Old Trafford.

Taking a rapid straw poll of United fan(s) – otherwise known as Sam in the office – he is quite plainly fully behind the efforts of the FCUM (what a brilliant acronym that is!) breakaway club and firmly believes that most United supporters share that view.

But just who would the green and gold scarf toting ‘rebels’ at Old Trafford be shouting for?

Let’s just hope we get to find out.

Rooney record contract has Man Utd teammates demanding better deals
31.10.10 | tribalfootball.com

Manchester United are facing a contract crisis after handing Wayne Rooney a club record deal last week.

The Sunday Mirror says Rio Ferdinand will be the next Manchester United star to demand contract talks.

The Old Trafford club have left themselves wide open to increasing demands from their star players after awarding rebel striker Rooney with a five-year deal worth a staggering £250,000 a week.

Ferdinand, 31, is halfway through a five-year deal, but will want to re-negotiate his terms as the pay scale at United has now been blown out of the water.

But his injury problems could prove a stumbling block in the talks.

A key United player’s agent said last night: “The club have now left themselves wide open to demands from other top players after breaking the bank to secure Wayne Rooney’s signature.

“They seem to think they can drag out negotiations because no player will ever want to leave United.

“Well, they got a massive wake-up call from Rooney who virtually held the club to ransom. The player himself might not go knocking on their door, but the agents representing them certainly will.”

United launch casual clothing
November 09, 2010

Manchester United has launched a range of casual clothing which will be sold exclusively at its Old Trafford Megastore.

The M Collection has been designed for the Reds by Source Lab, an official licensing partner based in Cheadle Hulme.

The club would not reveal the scale of its investment in the new label but described it as "significant".

It boasts a number of limited edition leisurewear pieces including jumpers, t-shirts and jackets.

Each item will feature subtle use of the Red Devil logo and takes the club's retail offering into the non-sports fashion arena for the first time.

Jayne Davies, from Manchester United Megastore, said: "We wanted to design clothes that fans would be happy to wear on non match days that are more stylish and less sporty than a team kit.

"The devil emblem is a nod to the United brand, is unique and something that we hope fans will identify with and be proud to wear.

"By having limited runs of each product we'll ensure there's a buzz about each piece and a must-have feel.

"M Collection is only available at the Megastore at Old Trafford so fans should be aware that no other outlets will have these clothes.

"We want to reward visitors to Old Trafford with the option of buying a piece of clothing that few others can own.

"We expect the limited edition t-shirts, polo shirts and jackets to be particularly popular."

Manchester United owners Glazer family to pay off £220m PIK loan

• Payment to be made by owners on 22 November
• Club announced a record loss of £83.6m in October

It was reported tonight that the American owners of Manchester United, the Glazer family, have agreed to pay off a £220m payment in kind (PIK) loan on 22 November.

The club's corporate filing revealed the payment, which was contained in a document called a voluntary free-payment notice that was signed by Joel Glazer.

The Glazers paid £790m for Manchester United in 2005. In January this year they converted a bank loan secured against the club into a £526m bond, under which they could make one withdrawal of £70m from club funds in order to pay off some of their overall PIK loan.

In October, Manchester United announced a record loss of £83.6m, much of which was attributed to interest payments and costs relating to replacing long-term debt with the bond.

Glazers to pay off £220m debt with own money
By Simon Stone, PA | Independent | Tuesday, 16 November 2010

Manchester United fans have challenged the Glazer family to come clean about their intentions for the club after it was confirmed a £220m debt is to be paid off by the end of the month.

The controversial payment in kind notes (PIKs) have been the subject of much debate due to the huge amount of interest they are attracting.

The current level is 16.25% and while this debt is levelled against the family themselves it was anticipated they would use money from the club to reduce it.

However in a letter issued by co-chairman Joel Glazer, he confirmed to the lenders of the PIK notes that the debt will be paid by November 22.

There has been no indication as to how this will happen or where the money has come from, although Press Association Sport understands the money will definitely not come from the club and speculation that the Glazers have sold off a chunk of United has also been rejected.

As if to emphasise the continued health of United as a day-to-day business three monthly results released today in line with the £500m bond issue showed turnover continuing to rise, especially in the commercial sector, and the debt reducing, albeit marginally.

But this has not appeased the supporters groups who have been so opposed to the Glazer family since their controversial takeover in 2005.

Duncan Drasdo, chief executive of Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST), responding to the news, said: "Now is the time for the Glazers to finally come clean and tell the truth about what is going on at Manchester United and what their plans are.

"What have they got to hide? No more secrecy. No more spin. Just tell the fans the truth.":army:

It is doubtful whether these comments will have any effect on the Glazer family.

It is only a matter of weeks ago that United chief executive David Gill sought to allay fears about the club's long-term future.

This latest development does appear to confirm repeated statements from Sir Alex Ferguson that he has a large transfer kitty at his disposal and he alone is responsible for it not being spent rather than being kept back to pay off a portion of the PIK debt.

The most interesting figures from the quarterly results were a rise in total turnover from £57.7m to £63.3m compared to the same three months last year. The main reason for that is a rise in commercial revenue to £24.2m, up over 25%.

It was also revealed that United's gross debt had fallen from £514.7m to £509.4m up to September 30, 2010.

Love and hate: Manchester United's fans have always fought against the unpopular reign of the Glazer family Photo: PA

By Steve Wilson 11:50AM GMT 16 Nov 2010 | Telegraph

Sep 2003 Glazer family’s shares tip over 3 per cent, the point at which the club’s management are to be officially informed.

May 2005 Share value reaches 75 per cent after buying J. P. McManus and John Magnier ‘s stake as well as Scottish mining entrepreneur Harry Dobson.

June 2005 PLC status of club ended as Glazers delist United from London stock exchange.

June 2005 Stake in the club reaches 98 per cent, enough for a compulsory buy-out. Glazers have complete control of the club with the final valuation coming in at £800m. The acquisition debt, the money borrowed by the Glazers to finance the deal, stands at around £700m.

June 2005 Disgruntled supporters form FC United of Manchester, a break away club.

Apr 2006 United announce £56m shirt sponsorship deal with AIG.

Jul 2006 Glazers refinance their loans – £250m of which are the high interest ‘Payment in Kind’ loans secured against club assets – totalling £660m, with interest payments of around £60m a year. Should the loans not be repaid or refinanced before 2010 the club would fall in to the hands of a group of hedge funds.

May 2007 United win the Premier League.

May 2008 United retain their Premier League title and win their third European Cup.
May 2009 United win third Premier League title on the bounce.

Jun 2009 United secure the then most lucrative shirt sponsorship deal in football history after agreeing a four-year deal with Aon Corp, the American financial giant, thought to be worth £80m.

Jun 2009 United sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m.

Dec 2009 United deny they are in financial difficulties despite walking away from a £10m deal for Partizan Belgrade teenager Adem Ljaji.

Jan 2010 Another refinancing of the loans sees a £500m bond issue to pay off the bulk of the bank debts. Interest is to run at over £40m a year, with the PIK loans attracting an interest rate of over 16 per cent.

Jan 2010 United supporters launch their green and gold campaign, sporting the colours of the club’s previous incarnation as Newton Heath to back up their ‘Hate Glazer, Love United’ stance.

Feb 2010 Manchester United Supporters Trust met with Keith Harris, a Manchester United fan and chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce, in order to broker a takeover. The Red Knights as they become known seek to raise enough funds to buy out the Glazers.

May 2010 It becomes clear that the Red Knights bid to buy the club and put it back in the hands of United supporters is unlikely to succeed.

Oct 2010 United post an operating profit of £100.8m but an actual £83.6m loss. The Glazer’s view the results as vindication of a “territory specific” approach

Nov 2010 The Glazer family are set to pay off £220 million of their high-interest PIK loan, raising the possibility that they have found a new investor or that more money is to be siphoned out of the club.

Glazers repayment of £220m payment-in-kind loans at Manchester United leaves more questions than answers
The telegraph
?
By Paul Kelso
Last Updated: 11:22PM GMT 16/11/2010

The Glazer family on Tuesday confirmed that no cash has been withdrawn from Manchester United to repay £220 million of high-interest payment-in-kind loans, but the implications of the significant change in the club’s financial profile remained shrouded in mystery.

Despite huge interest from supporters and media the family and club declined to address any of the significant questions raised by the apparently sudden decision repay the debt.

The PIK loans, secured against the Glazers' shares in United’s holding company and accruing interest at 16.25 per cent, have long been a millstone to the family’s ownership and a major source of concern for supporters, given the potential that they could burden the club finances.

Their removal, signalled in a note to lenders from Joel Glazer on Monday, could be interpreted as positive but in the absence of any information as to how repayment was funded it is impossible to draw any firm conclusions.

Despite the PIK repayment, the quarterly financial update revealed that interest on the £508 million bond could reach £45 million this year, showing the club is far from debt free.

Under the terms of the bond issue the Glazers are permitted to take up to £100 million out in dividends in the first year but the statement said they had not done so.

“The board notes recent press speculation. The board can confirm that there has been no dividend of club cash,” the statement read.

One of three scenarios may offer the most likely explanation. Firstly, that the Glazers have sold a minority equity stake to a third-party investor, though the Premier League is understood not to have been informed of any change in ownership at the club.

The second, and perhaps most likely option, is that the Glazers have refinanced the debt at a preferential rate of interest. If that is the case and it remains secured against the Glazers' shares in the club, supporters will remain concerned.

Thirdly, the Glazers may have realised other assets to pay off the loans. There were suggestions on Tuesday night that the PIK repayment may be a response to a significant offer for the club or preparation for a sale, but the Glazers offered no guidance.

A spokesman for the Red Knights, the investors seeking to lead a supporter-backed takeover, said that they had not purchased the PIK debt and that an offer for the club was not imminent.

While the family declined to comment one of the PIK lenders expressed regret at losing the hugely profitable loans.

“From a portfolio manager’s standpoint, it’s tantamount to 'the Grinch who Stole Christmas,’” said Mark Baker, chief executive officer of ADM Capital Europe.

“The Glazers are eliminating arguably the best asset in the European high yield universe from a risk/return perspective. Delighted for the fans but our portfolio will miss the 16.25 per cent coupon.”

Club chief executive David Gill did give an interview to a New York-based radio station, in which he repeated his support for the Glazers and said that the repayment of the loans endorsed his view that the loans, secured against the family’s assets, were “nothing to do with the club”.

“There are two elements to how we the finance the club,” he said. “One related to debt on the club refinanced in January this year with a bond of approximately £500 million, and the balance in these payment in kind or PIK loans, I’ve been saying for years that they were nothing to do with the club and they weren’t.

“They [the Glazers] issue a notice to say they would be repaying those loans next Monday. They were accruing at 16.25 per cent. The only thing I know is that they are not using club cash.

“We have over £100 million in the bank, so from our perspective they weren’t an issue for the club and that has been proven by what they are doing next week.”

Gill said the Glazers had been very supportive during the recent Wayne Rooney contract dispute, and said the club were already planning for Sir Alex Ferguson’s succession.

“They have always been very supportive when Sir Alex has wanted to give players new contracts such as the Rooney situation the other week. They are very supportive and the decision making is very swift, one phone call and its done.

“At some stage [Ferguson] will retire but what we are doing with him his coaches and his scouts is getting a good squad together with the right age profile so that a new manager coming in, while they might want to change one or two players, won't need to make wholesale changes and it will be a sensible transition to a new manager.

Beberapa poin utama yg saya lihat sebagai hal yang penting dari isu ini adalah :
- Bagaimana cara keluarga Glazer membayar/memperkecil hutangnya?

Jujur pada awalnya saya kurang mengikuti pemberitaan tentang kondisi keuangan united dan keluarga Glazer. Saya sempat memliki persepsi bahwa hutang Glazer yang begitu besar berwujud sebagai pinjaman di Bank saja. Ternyata saya salah besar, Glazer pada januari 2010 ternyata telah menerbitkan Bond(Surat hutang). Yang besarnya ±£500 juta. Celakanya adalah yang menerbitkan surat hutang itu adalah manchester united sebagai sebuah perusahaan, dan itu artinya setiap tahun akan muncul beban bunga dari surat hutang ( inilah angka £40 juta yg ada dalam laporan keuangan terbaru yg dirilis ).

Membayar hutang yg dimaksud dalam konteks isu ini bisa berati 2 hal. Yang pertama adalah membayar pinjaman kepada pihak bank, dan yang kedua adalah membeli kembali Surat hutang yg dimiliki investor.

Faktanya adalah, beberapa analis keuangan menyebutkan bahwa keluarga Glazer tidak memiliki kapasitas sebesar itu untuk membayar/memperkecil hutangnya. Jadi ada kemungkinan uang yg dipakai untuk membayar/memperkecil hutang bisa jadi dari keuangan club. Dan ini berarti bahaya besar.

- Kendala keuangan mengganggu performa club.

David Gill dan SAF selalu bersikeras bahwa pada dasarnya kita memiliki uang untuk membeli pemain kelas dunia, akan tetapi itu bukan budaya kita. UNITED adalah sebuah club yang lebih tertarik dengan pemain muda dan mengembangkannya.

Pernyataan ini sebenarnya cukup menggelitik. Karena faktanya adalah dalam 5 tahun belakangan ini, selain Ronaldo tidak ada pemain yang berhasil kita orbitkan. Pemain seperti wayne Rooney, rio ferdinand, patrice evra, nemanja vidic, dimitar berbatov, justru dibeli disaat mereka sudah berstatus bintang dengan harga yang cukup tinggi. Faktanya adalah tanpa pembelian pemain UNITED akan kurang kompetitif.

Banyak dari fans( termasuk saya ) yang berharap akan ada pembelian pemain bintang. Akan tetapi faktanya adalah memang kita tidak akan melakukan itu karena club tidak memiliki dana untuk itu.

Kondisi keuangan yg memburuk tentu akan mempengaruhi para pemain. Saya tidak akan heran jika kondisi ini terus berlanjut sampai tahun depan, makan kita harus siap kehilangan vidic, evra, ataupun rooney 2-3 tahun yg akan datang. Dan tentu kondisi ini akan mempengaruhi performa tim, karena terbukti pemain seperti Evans, Obertan, dan Bebe masih belum bisa diharapkan menjadi punggawa club.

Semoga apa yg menjadi kekhawatiran saya itu salah, dan UNITED akan mampu melewati ini semua dan tidak berakhir seperti dengan kebangkrutan sama seperti yg pernah terjadi sebelumnya :muflag:

Menurutku, Glazers ini hanya melihat UNITED dari sisi bisnis aja.
Ga terlalu mikir yang lainnya.
Mungkin yang ada dipikirannya adalah cuma Cost & Benefit.
Otaknya udah otak pebisnis banget yang serakah.
Takutnya nanti kejadian kaya krisis di Amerika.
Ternyata moral hazard terjadi.
Semoga aja masalah keuangan ini cepat teratasi.

Pertanyaan sama yang di bahas oleh blog ini om..

Where has the money come from?

As we’ve all seen on twitter along with one or two well known business sources the Breaking News is ”United owners to pay off £220 million loan”. This is that famous £138m PIK debt the glazers took out in 2005 to buy Manchester United or should I really say just take control. The bond holders currently own more of the club than they really do, they just don’t get a say and the fans pay the interest repayments. That debt is now worth over £220m and its known it will be paid off by the 22nd November but there are still questions. First and last is. Where has this money come from? This might be answered within an hour of this being posted or maybe never. I know the Glazers through, it always comes out in the end.

Has it come from the club? Well business sources say, No, none of the clubs money will be used to pay it off even through the bond document would allow this to happen. If the source to the business source is David Gill, then yes 100% it did come from the club. He doesn’t really know what’s going on.

Rumour mill has been throwing afew others.

They they taken out debt to pay debt? This is possible. They did this with United bank debt and converted into bonds. This didn’t really do alot. The debt is still there and still has to be paid off sooner or later.
Is a 3rd party involved? This is also possible but I’d say more unlikely than the first. This is interesting. Does the 3rd party get a say on goings on? Do they own part of the club? Who is this 3rd party. Other Yanks? A United fan? One I had put too me was could it be the Red Knights? After the summers goings on I’d find that highly unlikely but its been rumoured debt in the form of the bonds could be used as a possible takeover tool.

Selling the PIK debt to someone who is meant to be on the side of the fans while keeping full control could be an option. For the Glazers it could be a good option and a way out while still increasing the value of the club. Using the clubs money was a no go but selling to a fan friend? To remove some anger and hate? Did we finally bother them that much? With the Government aiming to produce plans, UFEA wanting to introduce certain rules and the increasing protests? Bloomberg reported they were scared to use the clubs cash. Am I getting carried away? Yes, that won’t have happened so don’t even think about it.

Paid Off Or Not. They Still Have To Go.

Dan masih di blog yang sama..ada kemungkinan di support oleh financial yg disebutkan di blog ini om

Where Has The Money Come From? Answered! Well maybe….

A leading news paper called The Telegraph which has sources inside of Manchester United has acquired some information which points to an American company called ‘springfield financial’ http://www.springfieldfinancialco.com/ Apparently they have taken on the Glazers personal debt for a tad lower rate of interest than was on the PIKs. Its not 100% true but its the most likely situation. It would make sense, along with why its been kept so quiet. Good News? err noooo. There is likely still a PIK loan at £240m just at a lower rate of Interest. Love United Hate Glazer.

Saya rasa kalau hutang ketempat lain sih tidak. Karena saya membaca langkah ini sebagai bentuk penghematan dengan jalan memotong beban bunga yg harus ditanggung UNITED selama ini yg besarnya di kisaran 16.5% dari nilai hutang keseluruhan.... Di beberapa media sih ada spekulasi yg menyebutkan bahwa dalam kontrak pembelian UNITED disebutkan bahwa pada salah satu klausul kontraknya GLazer berhak atas Deviden khusus pada tahun pertama pembelian yang jumlahnya sebesar £100 juta, pihak Glazer mengklaim bahwa dana itu selama ini sama sekali belum ditarik/diambil dari UNITED. Yaaah yg penting bayarnya bukan pake penjualan pemain bintang aja siiih ga masalah kalau berba yg dijual siiih ane stuju

Epson has signed a global sponsorship agreement to become Official Office Equipment Partner to Manchester United.

The agreement, which starts immediately, sees Epson, one of the leading manufacturers of printers, projectors and scanners worldwide, supply United with its equipment throughout Old Trafford. The deal will see Epson align its brand with the club and raise its profile in Europe and globally where the Reds are followed. The partnership was launched at Old Trafford on Friday, ahead of Saturday’s game against Blackburn, with manager Sir Alex Ferguson, chief executive David Gill and the entire first team squad in attendance.

Speaking at the launch, Epson’s Global President, Mr Minoru Usui, said: “The partnership with Manchester United aligns Epson with an exciting and globally recognised brand, bringing us closer to our customers worldwide.

Epson expects the agreement to allow the brand to get closer to its customers and their passions. Epson believes in giving something back to the communities in which it operates and there are strong synergies with United, who also have a strong community spirit and are well-known for their local community programmes.

Reds' chief executive David Gill added: “We are delighted to have Epson as one of our commercial partners and are looking forward to developing an exciting communications programme that helps us both achieve our business goals. Epson is a superb global brand, that sits perfectly alongside our existing partners.”

Giggs Raib, Carrick Ramah, Rooney Sulit Didekati
Kris Fathoni W - detiksport


Carrick & Rooney (Getty Images)

Manchester - Pengalaman bertemu muka langsung dengan para pemain Manchester United memberikan kesan tersendiri. Ada yang terkesan malu-malu dan ada yang ramah minta ampun. Yang langsung "hilang" pun juga ada.

DetikSport dan empat media lain dari Indonesia berkesempatan menyambangi markas MU di Old Trafford guna menghadiri acara pengumuman kerjasama dengan Epson,
Jumat (26/11/2010).

Hati pun kian berbunga-bunga ketika mencermati bahwa jadwal acara juga menyertakan sesi tatap muka langsung dengan Sir Alex Ferguson dan para pemain inti MU. Apalagi sesi itu juga disebutkan bakal ada sesi tanda tangan dan foto bareng.

Dengan informasi tersebut, kami pun sudah ancang-ancang mengincar siapa-siapa saja pemain MU yang akan didekati untuk dimintai tanda tangan, foto bersama dan mungkin bertukar ucapan alias ngobrol. Nama Ryan Giggs ternyata cukup populer karena banyak dari kami yang ingin mendekati Welsh Wizard yang penuh rekor itu.

Setelah acara utama yakni pengumuman kerjasama antara Epson dan MU, tibalah acara ramah-tamah dengan para punggawa 'Setan Merah'. Sebelumnya, seluruh pemain inti masuk ke dalam ruangan untuk foto bersama. Giggs terlihat memimpin rombongan pemain tersebut

Foto bersama tuntas dilakukan, sejumlah pemain terlihat langsung keluar ruangan seperti Wayne Rooney, Edwin van der Sar dan Giggs. Ah, ada apa gerangan? Tidak perlu lama bertanya-tanya, petugas di ruangan mengumumkan kalau para pemain akan kembali ke dalam ruangan secara bergiliran.

Maka para media dari sejumlah negara pun kemudian mulai "menggilir" para pemain MU yang dibagi ke dalam beberapa kloter. DetikSport tentu tidak ketinggalan. Tapi entah karena lelah, terkejut dengan banyaknya orang yang antre berfoto dan minta tanda tangan, atau memang karena alasan-alasan lain, tidak semua pemain sabar berlama-lama.

Rooney, misalnya, yang masuk ke ruangan dalam kloter-kloter akhir dan dalam waktu singkat pula. Ia hadir dengan ditemani sejumlah orang yang tampak menjadi "pelindungnya". Antisipasi itu terbilang tepat karena sorotan terhadap penyerang yang masa depannya di MU sempat gonjang-ganjing tersebut memang paling besar.

Nah, dampaknya kesempatan berfoto atau sekadar minta tanda tangan dari Rooney pun jadi sangat sempit. Seorang rekan media bahkan mengeluh tersikut "pelindung" Rooney ketika tengah berusaha mendekatinya.

Kalau Rooney susah didekati, beda lagi dengan Michael Carrick. Gelandang tengah MU itu dengan sabar melayani permintaan atau pertanyaan yang ditujukan kepadanya. Saat ia tahu kami datang dari Indonesia pun Carrick berujar ramah dengan suara cukup keras, "Wah perjalanan kalian jauh juga."

Boleh jadi Carrick memang masih ingat dengan Indonesia yang gagal dikunjungi MU pada tahun 2009 lalu akibat peristiwa Bom Kuningan. Lantas apakah MU sudah kembali memiliki rencana menemui para fansnya di 'Tanah Air'?

"Suatu hari nanti. Akan menyenangkan untuk datang ke Indonesia," tukas Carrick.

Beda lagi dengan Da Silva bersaudara, Rafael dan Fabio. Pemain kembar asal Brasil tersebut acap terlihat malu-malu dan malah lebih sering asyik ngobrol berdua kendati tetap setia melayani permintaan foto bareng dan tanda tangan.

Sayangnya lalu lalang banyak orang yang ingin gantian berinteraksi dengan para pemain MU acap membuat pemain bersangkutan jadi kurang fokus sehingga komunikasi pun menjadi terbatas.

Asyik berkeliling, petugas tiba-tiba menginformasikan kalau para pemain MU sudah harus meninggalkan ruangan. Lho, Giggs mana? Kami yang menjadikan pemain veteran MU itu sebagai "buruan" utama tak ayal merasa cemas karena memang belum melihat lagi batang hidungnya.

Tunggu punya tunggu, acara sudah tuntas dengan Giggs dan beberapa pemain MU lain ternyata memang tak kunjung datang lagi. Rupanya mereka memang benar-benar sudah pergi saat meninggalkan ruangan di kesempatan pertama. Oalah!

Catatan dari Old Trafford
Memelihara Impian MU Datangi Indonesia

Manchester - Setahun lalu Manchester United gagal mengunjungi Jakarta karena peristiwa Bom Kuningan. Usai MU bekerjasama dengan Epson, apakah rencana kunjungan 'Setan Merah' itu akan dihidupkan lagi?

Musim panas tahun 2009 MU dijadwalkan datang menemui para fansnya di Jakarta. Penggila bola pada umumnya, dan tentu saja fans "Setan Merah", menanti dengan antusias, apalagi hingar-bingarnya saat itu sangatlah terasa.

Untung tak dapat diraih, malang tidak bisa ditolak. Wilayah Kuningan, Jakarta, menjadi sasaran peledakan bom dan imbasnya membuat MU batal datang. Untuk melipur lara, sebuah provider layanan telekomunikasi yang jadi pihak pengundang bahkan membuat iklan khusus bertema "Jangan berhenti bermain bola, Budi" yang juga berisikan penyemangat untuk Indonesia dari MU.

Setahun berselang, MU tak lagi memasukkan nama Indonesia sebagai negara yang mereka kunjungi dalam tur-pramusim. "Suatu hari nanti. Akan menyenangkan untuk datang ke Indonesia," kata gelandang MU Michael Carrick dalam sebuah sesi di Old Trafford yang diikuti detiksport, Jumat (26/11/2010).

Harapan kembali lahir setelah MU bekerjasama dengan Epson, pabrikan printer, proyektor dll, asal Jepang yang juga cukup punya nama di Indonesia. Apalagi Presiden Epson Global Minoru Usui tampak cukup terkesan saat mendengar besarnya jumlah fans MU di Indonesia yang kini berjumlah sekitar 20 juta orang.

"Oh begitu ya?" katanya dengan wajah antusias sambil kemudian terlihat berdiskusi serius dengan Alastair Bourne, PR Seiko Epson Corporation yang mendampinginya dan jadi penerjemah, dalam sesi wawancara bersama lima jurnalis Indonesia, termasuk detiksport.

Ia memang tidak menjabarkan secara rinci bagaimana rencana Epson dalam wacana "membawa" MU kembali ke Indonesia. "Itu tergantung tim jika mau ke Indonesia. Jika mereka mau tentu kami sangat senang."

"Kami juga punya banyak hubungan dengan Indonesia. Indonesia sangat penting buat kami. Kami akan senang mendukung hal tersebut," tukas Usui.

United Indonesia Babes, silakan terus berharap.

Manchester United owners the Glazer family target world record £450 million kit deal to ease financial burden
Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, believe they can banish concerns over the club’s £526 million debt by securing a world-record kit deal worth close to £450 million before their agreement with Nike expires in 2015.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01785/glazers_1785516b.jpg

Manchester United’s £302.9 million contract with Nike, which came into force in August 2002, is currently worth approximately £25 million a year to the club, because of progressive increments.

There are no plans to lay the groundwork on a new deal until at least 2012, but United’s American owners believe that the recent €42.6 million -a-year kit deal between Nike and the French Football Federation – worth a world record €320 million over 7½ years – has set the benchmark for United when they come to seek out a new long-term agreement.

The club are forced to service the interest on their debt with annual payments of around £45 million, with the £526 million bond – floated in January this year – due to be repaid in 2017.

And although any increased kit deal is highly unlikely to result in a lump sum one-off payment, the extra revenues generated would ease the financial pressure on the Glazers, who recently cleared a £220 million PIK loan, with mystery still surrounding the source of the funds used to wipe out that debt.

French success in prising their unmatched kit deal with Nike has been noted by the Glazers, however. Having had its kit produced by Adidas since 1972, the FFF is to switch to Nike next year.

Although France have won the World Cup and European Championship over the past 12 years, their brand power is incomparable to that of United, whose global reach enabled the club to secure an £80 million, four-year shirt sponsorship deal with the American financial group Aon last year.

Aon cited the prospect of having its company logo on 'six million walking billboards’ as the justification for the deal with United, but annual shirt sales tend not to be the main money-generating factor in kit deals.

Under the terms of United’s current deal with Nike, the club grant the sportswear company exclusive rights to sponsor its gear, manufacture and sell its merchandise, and operate United’s existing retail operations.

Performance-related clauses in the contract ensured that Nike’s payments to United would be reduced if they failed to finish in the top half of the Premier League or qualify for Europe.

The club have developed strong links with Nike and Wayne Rooney, the United forward, spent a week at Nike’s HQ in Portland, Oregon, last month to boost his fitness away following his troubled start to the season.

Although Nike, which bought out England’s kit manufacturer, Umbro, in a £285 million takeover in October 2007, is also the kit sponsors of Barcelona and the Brazil national team, United are viewed as the leading football brand in their portfolio.

And with only Adidas, who currently have kit deals with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, able to compete with Nike in terms of sportswear partnerships, the battle to produce United’s shirts is unlikely to be contested beyond the two companies.

Top kit contracts

£36m per year France (Nike, 2011-18).

£26.3m per year Barcelona (Nike, 2006-13).

£13m per year Arsenal (Nike, 2003-13).

£10m per year Chelsea (Adidas, 2006-16).

£5m per year Tottenham (Puma, 2006-11).

Qatar royal family plan £1.5bn move for Man Utd
ontheminute.com

The Qatar royal family are reportedly ready to pay £1.5billion to buy Manchester United.
The Sunday Mirror reports that Qatar Holdings, an investment vehicle for the Qatari royal family, are ready to make a £1.5billion takeover of United.

The Qatari company has recently bought trophy assets in England such as the Harrods store and London properties such as One Hyde Park, the Shard of Glass and the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square.

Qatar Holdings chairman Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani is keen to add iconic investment such as United to their portfolio.

The £1.5billion move could be the end of the Glazer family's reign at Old Trafford.

The Glazers bought the club for £790million in 2005, but borrowed against United's assets.

Qatar Holdings are reportedly ready to pay £1.5billion to buy Manchester United and will also make £1billion available to manager Sir Alex Ferguson in the transfer market.

If Qatar Holdings are successful with their purchase of United, it will leave the club debt free.

World Exclusive: Qatar royal family plan £1.5bn takeover of Manchester United

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/match-centre/article637951.ece/ALTERNATES/gallery-large/.jpeg

The most famous name in English football is the target for the next wave of Arab invaders.

Across Manchester arch-rivals City are already owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, led by billionaire Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Now Qatar Holdings, an *investment vehicle for the Qatari royal family, are pursuing the £1.5billion *takeover of Manchester United. The Gulf state of Qatar has already *landed the right to stage the 2022 World Cup finals in an audacious international coup.

The Qataris have also accumulated a huge range of trophy assets in *England.

hese include the Harrods store and spectacular London properties such as One Hyde Park, the Shard of Glass and the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square.

Last week the Qatar Foundation, the charity wing of the ruling *family, bought the sponsorship rights to the Barcelona shirt. It was a declaration of their *intention of getting Qatar accepted as a global football brand.

Qatar Holdings is the third largest shareholder in car-maker VW and has a stake in Porsche.

Its chairman, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani (right), who is also Qatar’s prime minister, is keen to add to their portfolio of *investments and sees United as an iconic *acquisition. The arrival of the Qatar billions would pave the way for the end of the controversial Glazer family reign.

The Arabs can satisfy any request for proof of funding from the Glazer family in the United States and are also willing to fund a massive *transfer fund for manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

United’s massive fan base around the globe are certain to welcome the change of ownership from the *controversial Glazer regime.

The American family seized *control for £790million in 2005.

But the *Americans have incensed United supporters by borrowing against the club’s assets.

They loaded £716m in debt against the club provoking outrage among United fans who believe too much of the club’s income was being *directed to pay prohibitive interest payments. A few weeks ago the Glazers did reduce United’s debt by paying back around £200m in PIK loans.

These were payment in kind loans from three hedge funds that were charging 16.25 per cent in annual *interest.

Many City observers *believed that reduction in debt could spark a Glazer sell-off. There were even rumours that the funding for the change had come from overseas investors keen to take a stake in United – but the Glazers denied this.

A group of United fans *calling themselves the Red Knights did try to launch a takeover coup a few months ago but backed off when they *discovered the Glazers would not entertain a bid of around £1bn. However, the Qatar Holdings have set aside around £2.5bn in funds to purchase the club and provide Sir Alex Ferguson with unlimited spending power in the transfer *market.

So far the Glazers have resisted attempts to drive them out of Old Trafford even though the fans have been so critical of their reign.

Now the scene could be set for the Glazers to leave with a massive profit. Qatar Holdings have been linked with a host of European *giants including Barcelona, Real Madrid and United’s Premier League rivals, Chelsea, Liverpool, *Tottenham and Newcastle.

However, United have always been top of their wish list.

The purchase of United would leave the club debt free and the most powerful club in the current transfer market.

And even neighbours City, with all their wealth, may find it hard to compete with the potential red *revolution.

MU Mungkin Dijual

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Direktur Manchester united, Michael Edelson, mengatakan, tak tertutup kemungkinan pemilik sekarang, Malcolm Glazer menjual seluruh sahamnya. Namun, menurutnya, kalau pun begitu, itu tak akan terjadi dalam waktu dekat.

"Tak tertutup kemungkinan bahwa pada masa mendatang mereka akan menjual klub ini, tetapi itu akan terjadi dalam waktu yang lama," ujar Edelson.

Edelson sudah masuk jajaran direksi MU sejak 1982. Ia pun mengerti, bahwa setidaknya sejak pertengahan musim lalu, suporter melakukan gerakan anti-Glazer, menyusul terungkapnya utang besar Glazer.

Sejumlah suporter khawatir, utang membuat klub tak bisa membeli pemain top dan akan merusak stabilitas dan kontinyuitas performa MU, baik di panggung domestik maupun Eropa.

Sejumlah gerakan sudah dilakukan suporter untuk mendesak Glazer mundur, termasuk dengan menggelar demonstrasi di stadion maupun menggalang dana untuk membeli klub.

Sementara begitu, sejumlah pejabat MU mengatakan bahwa Glazer berkomitmen penuh dan tidak akan melaukan tindakan yang bisa merugikan MU, misalnya menjual aset.

Manajer Alex Ferguson juga mengatakan, tak ada masalah dengan kepemilikan Glazer. Bahwa kemudian ia berhemat di bursa transfer, itu bukan karena ketiadaan uang, melainkan karena ia ingin begitu. (SKY)

versi the suns

MANCHESTER UNITED'S future has been thrown into doubt after a club bigwig said the Glazers WILL sell up.

Old Trafford non-executive director Mike Edelson revealed: "It's no secret that, at some time, the family will sell."

And that has now opened the door for the Qatar royal family, headed by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who have targeted United in a £1.5billion deal.

Edelson's comment is the first clear indicator the Glazers will listen to offers for United, which they have plunged into debt. Having bought the Premier League giants for £790million 5½ years ago, the Yanks now stand to DOUBLE their money.
Sources in the City are convinced the Glazers are ready to sell after they paid off £252m of the £752m of debt they saddled the club with.


One top city source said: "The belief is that they have already brought in extra finance from a third party in a bid to set the club up for a sale."

A Middle East football finance expert, meanwhile, told SunSport that Qatar Holdings - the business arm of the country's royal family - have been hovering around United waiting to strike.

The source said: "They have made tentative moves before with little success but this time it looks like they could be going for it.

"Now they have landed the 2022 World Cup, the country wants to expand its influence in the game across the globe."

United board member Edelson has been a close confidant of the Glazers since they took over the club in 2005.

He made his shock revelation in a Q&A session at the Maccabi Sports Club in Prestwich, Manchester.

Qatar's royal family has an estimated £40bn of assets and, last week, became the first sponsor of Barcelona's team shirts in a £125m deal.

Qatar Holdings Bersikeras Beli United

http://www.qh.com.qa/QH/images/QH_Logo.jpg

Perusahaan milik keluarga kerajaan Qatar itu sudah menyiapkan anggaran £2,5 miliar.

Sebuah perusahaan di jazirah Arab, Qatar Holdings, bersikeras untuk mengambil alih kepemilikan saham Manchester United yang masih dipegang pengusaha asal Amerika Serikat, keluarga Glazer.

Suratkabar Mirror mewartakan, petinggi Qatar Holdings pada pekan ini akan terbang ke Amerika Serikat untuk mencari kata sepakat mengenai pengambilalihan saham dari keluarga Glazer.

Ketua Qatar Holdings yang menjadi perwakilan keluarga kerajaan Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani telah mengirim tim untuk berunding dengan keluarga Glazer. Sheikh Hamad yang juga Perdana Menteri Qatar ini telah meminta keluarga Glazer memberikan angka yang diinginkan.

Namun pada pekan lalu, keluarga Glazer tetap bersikeras tidak mau menjual saham mereka.

Qatar Holdings dikabarkan sudah menyiapkan anggaran £2,5 miliar untuk mengakuisisi United. Jika itu terjadi, maka United bakal menjadi klub paling sehat di dunia dengan jumlah dana melimpah untuk belanja pemain.

Mau dibeli sama Qatar, nanti cuma jadi "mainan" mereka, kalo udah bosen gimana?

Idealnya menurut gw, United dimiliki oleh org yg peduli (fans), hutang-hutangnya ilang/lunas, punya cukup dana kalau Manager perlu beli pemain, owner nggak ikut campur urusan bola dan pemain-pemain muda jebolan akademi tetep bisa dapat kesempatan main & berkembang di United.

Mungkin nggak ya begitu?

By Georg Szalai
Mon Jan 3, 2011 4:51pm EST

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Sirius XM Radio is betting on the U.S. fan base of British soccer club Manchester United.

The satellite radio firm on Monday unveiled a multi-year deal to be the official radio broadcaster of the 18-time champions of the English Premier League.

Financial terms weren't disclosed.

This is Sirius XM's latest bet on a strong content brand after it recently extended its relationship with Howard Stern. (link)

Sirius and XM subscribers will have access to live play-by-play of every Manchester United Premier League match. Sirius XM also has the rights to stream match broadcasts online.

Said Manchester United CEO David Gill: "This is an exciting arrangement as we know how passionate our fans are in the United States, and now they can catch all the match action live on Sirius and XM."

"Manchester United is one of the most famous and widely followed sports franchises in all of the world, and we're thrilled to offer our listeners access to every one of their Premier League matches," said Scott Greenstein, Sirius XM's president and chief content officer.

Premier League - United deny £1.5bn sale report

Sun, 23 Jan 11:47:00 2011 Yahoo!Sport

Premier League leaders Manchester United said they were not for sale after the Sunday Times reported that Qatar Holding had held talks about a £1.5 billion takeover.


"There has been no approach of any kind to buy the club and one wouldn't be welcome anyway because it is not for sale," a spokesman said, adding that the newspaper story was wrong.

The Sunday Times reported that the Glazer family, the unpopular American owners of the Premier League club, had held talks with a group, believed to be Qatar Holding - the investment group controlled by the Qatari royal family.

The report said the talks had floundered because the Glazers valued the Old Trafford club at closer to £2bn.

The Glazers bought Manchester United, one of the most famous clubs in the world, in 2005 for some £790 million against a wave of protest from fans who anticipated they would load it up with debt.

No one from Qatar Holding was immediately available to comment.

MU Sanggah Kabar Akan Dibeli Pengusaha Qatar
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

Manchester - Beredar kabar kalau Manchester United tengah didekati sebuah perusahaan asal Qatar yang berniat melakukan akuisisi. Isu yang buru-buru disanggah manajemen The Red Devils.

Dikutip dari Skysports, perusahaan yang kabarnya melakukan pembicaraan diam-diam dengan kubu MU adalah Qatar Holding. Disebutkan kalau 'Setan Merah' sudah mendapat tawaran sebesar 1,5 miliar poundsterling atau sekitar Rp 21,213 triliun.

Qatar Holding, yang tahun lalu membeli pusat belanja Harrods, adalah anak perusahaan tak langsung dari Qatar Investment Authority. Perusahaan itu dipimpin oleh Sheik Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr Al Thani, yang merupakan Perdana Menteri Qatar.

Kabar yang terlanjur beredar menyebut kalau Keluarga Glazer menolak penawaran yang diajukan. Soalnya mereka baru akan melepas kepemilikan di MU jika dapat tawaran dua miliar poundsterling.

Namun tak lama setelah isu tersebut beredar di media Inggris, manajemen MU langsung melontarkan bantahan. Untuk kali kesekian MU memastikan kalau mereka tidak dijual.

"Tak ada pemdekatan dalam bentuk apapun untuk membeli klub dan tak ada siapapun yang akan kami sambut karena kami tidak dijual," sahut seorang jurubicara MU.

Keluarga Glazer membeli The Red Devils sejak tahun 2005 lalu, saat itu mereka "hanya" perlu membayar 790 juta poundsterling atau sekitar 11,172 triliun. Meski masih mampu meraih beberapa gelar di kompetisi lokal dan menjadi juara Liga Champions, besarnya utang yang dimiliki MU membuat fans klub tersebut berulang kali menuntut kepergian Glazer dari Old Trafford.

Manchester United most valuable sporting franchise in the world, says CEO
By Damian Reilly - arabianbusiness.com
Monday, 24 January 2011 9:59 AM

Manchester United’s brand is worth close to $2bn, CEO David Gill has told Arabian Business, considerably more than the reported bid of $1.5bn Qatar Holding is believed to have made for the club.

Asked what he believed Manchester United’s brand value was, Gill said: “Well Forbes reckon we are the most valuable sporting franchise in the world… and they compare that obviously with other football clubs, but also with the likes of the Dallas Cowboys, and so on. It [the valuation] is nearly $2bn.”

He added that Manchester United’s value was only going to increase.

“I think we are worth a lot of money. It is a big brand. Football is only going to get bigger. The World Cup gets bigger, the Euros get bigger. The Champions League gets bigger. The Premier League gets bigger, you know it is a real growth sport. And so to be one of the leading clubs within that, we are going to benefit and make sure we continue to push forwards.”

The Sunday Times reported that Qatar Holding had made a bid of $1.5bn, which was rejected by the Glazer family that owns the club. The Glazers bought the club in 2005 for $800m.

Asked if he thought Qatar in June was a suitable venue for the 2022 World Cup, or whether Manchester United would approve mooted plans to move the tournament to the winter, Gill said:

“I don’t think it would be appropriate to talk about that at the moment.”

Premier League - United deny reports of Qatar takeover

Fri, 11 Feb 14:37:00 2011
Yahoo!Sport

Manchester United have denied claims that the club is on the verge of being bought by the Qatari royal family.

The Daily Express newspaper claimed on Friday morning that Qatar Holdings, the investment branch of the Qatari royal family, were "only haggling over details" with the Glazer family, United's American owners, to sell the Premier League club for £1.6 billion.

That speculation has now apparently been thrown out by sources close to the club, who spoke to the BBC.

"There has been no approach and one would not be welcome, because the club is not for sale," said a club source.

United were purchased by the Glazers for £790 million in 2005.

The club was rated third behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in the latest global Football Rich List published by Deloitte.

Manchester United takeover by Qatar royal family nearing completion - report

The prospective takeover of Manchester United by Qatar holdings, the investment arm of the Qatar royal family, is set to be completed in the coming weeks, according to the Daily Express.

Reports suggest that a £1.6 billion deal is in place, with only the finer details to be negotiated, meaning the Glazer family, United’s current owners, will have doubled the £790m they bought the club for in 2005.

If the takeover deal does go through, it could mean Saturday’s Manchester derby is the last under American ownership for the Red Devils, with rivals Manchester City already reaping the benefits of wealthy foreign owners.

Indeed a deal does appear viable, with the Qatar royal family showing increasing intent in recent weeks to invest in football with their purchase of Barcelona’s shirt sponsorship rights.

A move would likely be welcomed by the United supporters, many of whom participated in a 'green and gold' campaign against the Glazer ownership which has placed the club in heavy debt.

Manchester United agree sponsorship deal with logistics company DHL
Chief executive Gill "delighted" over partnership

By Omar Shahid
11 Feb 2011 23:47:00

Manchester United have confirmed they have signed a three-year sponsorship deal with DHL in an agreement that will see them become the Red Devils' official logistics partner.

Over the next three years DHL will undertake important operations at the club, including business-to-business and consumer marketing activities as well as aiding the Manchester United Foundation to help improve the lives of vulnerable young people.

David Gill, Manchester United’s chief executive, said: "I’m delighted to welcome them to our family of sponsors and look forward to the opportunities this partnership will create. DHL are a globally recognised organisation and their commitment to excellence and high standards makes them an ideal partner for Manchester United."

Richard Arnold, United’s commercial director, meanwhile, admitted that the agreement signified the club's continuing global development.

"This deal underlines the continuing global strength of Manchester United," he said. "DHL are a like minded global brand with a track record in sports sponsorship and a strong presence in many of our key territories around the world.

"We're excited at the opportunities this partnership will create for DHL and our fans around the world."

Phil Couchman, Chief Executive Officer, DHL Express (UK and Ireland), added: "By partnering with Manchester United we have teamed up with a brand whose international footprint mirrors our own.

"A major part of our business is to help businesses grow by offering them an efficient and effective international offer. The way that Manchester United has grown from humble beginnings formed by a group of railway workers into a worldwide brand with 333 million followers shows how small businesses can emerge into world leaders."

Manchester United's £1.8bn price a put-off for Qataris

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/02/12/article-0-09577785000005DC-380_468x286.jpg

Manchester United's owners have made it clear to Qatar Holdings that a starting bid for the club would have to be worth at least £1.8billion, which is said to have put off the Qatari Royal Family.

Though the Glazers have officially denied that they want to sell the club, intermediaries between the two parties have indicated where the bidding should start.

At present the Qataris deem that too high to justify but, with the nation hosting the 2022 World Cup and the Qatar Foundation charity, also linked to the Qatari Royal Family, now sponsoring Barcelona, another bid is expected.

United have denied that there was a £1.6billion bid last week and sources close to the Glazers say they do not wish to sell now.

However, Qatar Holdings, backed by the oil rich state, is one the few companies in the world that could feasibly meet a price that would interest the Glazers.

Manchester United set to break £100m commercial barrier

Simon Stone | MEN
February 14, 2011

Manchester United look certain to be the first Premier League club to break the £100million barrier for commercial revenue alone.

The most recent three-monthly accounts showed revenues rising to £24million over the first quarter of the accounting year, and it is thought the second, up to December 31, will be equally strong.

United's new 'territory specific' approach to commercial opportunities, agreed with the Glazer family and implemented by commercial director Richard Arnold, has allowed the Old Trafford outfit to rapidly expand that area of club revenue.

The last annual figures showed a 16% growth in commercial income to £81million and last week global logistics giant DHL became the latest company to confirm an extended "partnership" with the Old Trafford outfit, their three-year deal allowing them to take charge of the distribution of United's massive merchandising operation.

Even if United do not get to the £100million mark this year, it is only a matter of time before they make it, emphasising just how popular the club remains as it pushes towards a record 19th league championship.

And with revenue streams continuing to grow in other sectors, chief executive David Gill is confident that the spread across all three areas; media, matchday and commercial means United are insulated against future problems in other areas.

"One of the strengths of this club compared to others is that we get income from all revenue streams," he said.

"Our match day revenue is around 40% of our overall turnover, we are part of a great competition in the Premier League that continues to grow and the commercial sector has gone up from 20% to 30%.

"That will stand us in very good stead. They are all high margins and will continue to give us the money Sir Alex Ferguson needs to keep the club at the top. There is a strong desire within our great supporter base for that to happen."

To place United's financial strength into context, rapidly rising neighbours Manchester City made 11th place in last year's football 'rich-list' and their overall turnover was only £125million.

There are issues looming though, not all of which United have control over.

Legal arguments over distribution rights for TV companies could yet revolutionise the way football is sold, which in turn might have a major impact on the cash companies such as BSkyB and ESPN are prepared to hand over to the Premier League.

Closer to home, speculation about a potential £1.6million takeover bid from Qatar lingers, even though the club response remains the same.

"We have received no approach and no approach would be welcome," said a United spokesman. "The club is not for sale."

It has always been felt that the Glazer family would be willing to unload United if the price was right and the sums being suggested would double their money following their own buyout in 2005, that has brought controversy and supporter anger in equal measure.

Sir Alex Ferguson has remained apart from this, though, managing to deliver three Premier League titles, two Champions League final appearances and a couple of Carling Cups.

And, presumably due to his vast experience, he does not feel any pressure to maintain that success - even though he desperately wants to.

"The name of Manchester United carries great weight throughout the world," he said.

"If you look back, the club were not having the greatest time, but it still had the biggest crowds.

"There is fantastic romance attached to Manchester United. You can't beat it.

"But success is important for the expectations of this club; myself, the players and the staff.

"We don't just want to be a nice little club. If we don't have success as well, we will get criticised."

sedikit tentang keuangan United
credit @KaskusUnited

Dilaporkan estimasi pendapatan United dari segi komersial akan menembus £100jt/thn untuk 2010
Kalo bener bisa tembus £100jt dari pendapatan komersial, United akan jadi klub EPL pertama yg memecahkan rekor ini
pendapatan klub dibagi 3 sumber: Matchday Income (pendapatan tiket dll saat match di kandang / Old Trafford)
Pendapatan lain = Broadcast Income (hasil siaran tv) & Commercial (hasil sponsorship, jualan merchandise dll dll)
Yang dilaporkan akan tembus £100jt itu hanya pendapatan komersial doang, diluar pendapatan tv + matchday
Sebagai pembanding, TOTAL pendapatan citeh dari 3 sumber itu hanya £115jt saja
Selama ini, sumber pendapatan terbesar United adalah dari matchday. Tiket mahal, makanya fans sana benci banget ama Glazer
Pendapatan TV ga bisa naik, karena duit siaran EPL dibagikan oleh The Premiere League, bukan nego masing2 klub
Beda dengan Spanyol + Italia, dimana masing2 klub BOLEH nego hak siar masing2 klub dengan pihak tv
Kalo boleh deal langsung dengan tv, udah tajir kemana2 nih United. Kan klub dengan jumlah fans terbanyak, hak siar pasti mahal
Dari The Premiere League, juara EPL dapet 50jt an kalo ga salah, klub #20 alias degradasi dapet 20jt an. Ada tingkatannya
So, yang bisa diharapkan United sekarang hanya dari commercial income. Kalo tiket dinaekin lagi bisa dibakar Old Trafford ama fans

Adakah yg pernah baca berita rilisan Deloitte beberapa waktu lalu tentang urutan klub terkaya didunia ?
Di versi Deloitte itu, Real Madrid menduduki posisi 1, Barca 2 dan United 3 saja
Tapi jangan lupa, Deloitte hanya menyusun berdasarkan estimasi PENDAPATAN SAJA, ga itung biaya, apalagi profit klub
Tentu Madrid & Barca yang boleh deal hak siar tv sendiri akan mendapatkan pendapatan yg lebih besar dari United
Jangan lupa pepatah bisnis lama: "Revenue is Vanity, Profit is Sanity, Cash is Reality"
Arti pepatah itu: "Omzet gede kalo ga profit = ga guna. Profit kalo diatas kertas doang tapi ga ada duit tunainya = percuma"
So, saat ini ga masalah juga kita di ranking 3 versi Deloitte
Jangan lupa utang United juga gede banget, ada obligasi £700jt jatuh tempo tahun 2017 <-- jaminan asset United, termasuk OT dll
Yep. Utang £700jt itu adalah sisa dari takeover Glazer. Ini diluar duit pribadi mereka yg udah keluar sekitar 200jt an
Jadi maklum aja kalo Glazer ga mau jual United kalo cuman ditawar 1M an doang. Lom untung mereka
Sampai saat ini, jubir Glazer masih membantah gossip adanya rencana takeover oleh Qatar £1.6M - Masih ngarep untung lebih gede kali..
Hanya 1 "keuntungan" adanya Glazer sebagai owner. Mereka ga ikut campur urusan teknis klub, dan menyerahkan pembelian ke SAF
Ga kebayang kalo utang udah gede trus owner ikut campur pulak *lirik2 Abramovich* yang suka Gonta Ganti Manager
Mudah2an kita pada ngeh dengan aturan UEFA Financial Fair Play - udah mayan heboh soalnya
Intinya sih, musim 2012-2013 klub sudah harus minimal break event - ga boleh rugi selama musim itu Uefa Financial FairPlay
Kalo musim 2012-13 klub rugi, pada musim 2013-14 DILARANG ikut kompetisi Eropa (UCL / Europa League etc)
gw bingung klub kaya Citeh gimana mo ngakalin aturan maen UEFA itu.Lah taon lalu total biaya gaji citeh aja bisa lebih gede dari TOTAL pemasukan mereka :hammer:
Sejauh ini United aman, tiap taon masih ada profit walaupun dikit. Ga akan kena aturan Uefa Financial FairPlay

so untuk jangka pendek keuangan United aman, tapi untuk jangaka panjang lumayan ribet
untuk bayar utang obligasi £700jt itu mayan ribet. Mungkin terbitin obligasi baru

United: Club is not for sale
Soccernet, Harry Harris - February 16, 2011


Manchester United have delivered a robust statement to ESPNsoccernet that the Glazers are not in talks with the Qatar royal family over the sale of the club and are intent on continuing their ownership of the club.

Qatar Holding, the investment arm of the Qatar Investment Authority, also denied on Wednesday it has bid, or even had discussions, to buy the club, albeit through an unnamed source in a briefing to international news agency Reuters.

In response, a Manchester United source told ESPNsoccernet: "We are aware of the report, which merely underlines what we have been saying about the club for months - that it is not for sale.

"Let us make it perfectly clear; there have not been any talks, there have not been any approaches, and any approaches would not be welcome. Again, all we can say is that this club is not for sale."

United feel that the U-turn on recent speculation vindicates their stance - and in some quarters comes as quite a relief - with the club's official comments now backed up.

Sources indicate that even if the Glazers were indeed looking for £1.6 billion before they would even consider opening talks, that price would be far too high.

United's high-yield bonds rose to near record highs due to the intense speculation of an inflated deal.

The statement from Qatar Holding earlier on Wednesday stated: "Qatar Holding is not and has never been in discussions to buy Manchester United Football Club. There is no truth to the rumours."

pembelian united oleh pihak timur tengah, menurut saya seperti lolos dari mulut buaya masuk kekandang singa. value yg ditawarkan Glazer sungguh tidak masuk akal untk sebuah club sepakbola. jika memang pembelian terjadi, saya rasa pembelian tetap akan menggunakan dana dari pihak ke-3.

Unpopular Glazers vow to fight on at Manchester United amid £1.5bn Qatari bid

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/02/25/article-1360543-09CC3F8B000005DC-834_634x415.jpg

The Glazer family have confirmed their commitment to Manchester United and insist they have no interest in selling the club.

United's owners made a statement to accompany the release of second quarter financial results - that revealed the club's debt stands at almost £500million - in response to growing speculation about a massive offer for the club from the Qatari Royal Family.

It has always been stressed the Glazers view their United status as long-term, a point they are keen to emphasise.

'The board notes recent press speculation regarding a possible bid for Manchester United,' said the statement. 'The owners remain fully committed to their long-term ownership of the club.

'No discussions have taken place, Manchester United is not for sale and the owners will not entertain any offers.'

The results themselves show United's debt has fallen from £512.5million 12 months ago to £489.4million on December 31, 2010.

Whilst matchday and media revenues have been relatively stagnant, there has been a massive increase in commercial revenues of 30.2per cent.

In the six months of the year so far, the commercial arm of the club has generated an incredible £50.4m, having secured a succession of new 'partnerships', the latest with global logistics company DHL.

It is now virtually certain United will this year become the first football club to crash through the £100m barrier for commercial revenue alone, emphasising the incredulity at reports from some quarters that revenue might actually be falling, specifically in shirt sales.

This surge in commercial revenues means that United's overall turnover has grown from growth £144.7m to £156.5m. However, operating costs have also increased from £86m to £95.9m.

In buying back £24m of their own bonds - the reason for the reduction in debt - United feel the eight per cent saving in interest is a more prudent use of cash than leaving it as part of their bank reserves, which now stand at £134.5m.

However, the club reserves the right to put the bonds back on the market should they so wish.

This week Sportsmail revealed the royal family of Qatar are preparing a fresh £1.5billion bid for the club after the Glazers rejected an earlier offer.

A source close to the oil-rich emirate’s ruling Al Thani family confirmed that it tried to tempt the Glazers earlier this month with an offer of just over £1bn.

The Al Thanis are on the verge of raising the stakes, partly motivated by rivalry with the Abu Dhabi royal family, whose wealth has transformed United’s arch-rivals Manchester City into title contenders.

Going head to head on the pitch would give the Al Thanis the opportunity to get one over on their Gulf neighbours, with the Manchester football scene offering a high-profile battleground.

Qatar is also keen to portray itself as a football-loving nation, after critics said it did not deserve to win the right to host the 2022 World Cup, because of its lack of football history.

While Qatar’s preference is a lone bid, it is also considering a Plan B that would see it go into partnership with the Red Knights, a group of wealthy United fans who put a £1bn bid for the club on ice last year.

The collective of City financiers and wealthy fans have made clear their determination to wrest control of the club from the Glazers, but do not have the funds to match the Americans’ price tag.

A partnership would combine the billions of oil-rich Qatar with the groundswell of popular backing that the Red Knights could attract from fans.

Qatari royal family in £1.5bn bid to buy Manchester United from the Glazers


http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/article-0-0BC76CB5000005DC-512_468x397.jpg

The royal family of Qatar is preparing a fresh £1.5billion bid for Manchester United after the Glazers rejected an earlier offer.

A source close to the oil-rich emirate’s ruling Al Thani family confirmed that it tried to tempt the Glazers earlier this month with an offer of just over £1bn.

The bid was turned down by the Americans, who are holding out for closer to £1.8bn.

But the Al Thanis are on the verge of raising the stakes, partly motivated by rivalry with the Abu Dhabi royal family, whose wealth has transformed United’s arch-rivals Manchester City into title contenders.

Going head to head on the pitch would give the Al Thanis the opportunity to get one over on their Gulf neighbours, with the Manchester football scene offering a high-profile battleground.

Qatar is also keen to portray itself as a football-loving nation, after critics said it did not deserve to win the right to host the 2022 World Cup, because of its lack of football history.

United strenuously deny that they have received any bid from Qatar Holdings, a division of the Qatar Investment Authority, which identifies ways to make a return on the country’s oil billions.

But the source indicated the offer could be made privately, or through a separate vehicle owned by the Al Thanis.

The revived takeover talk comes with the club preparing to unveil their financial results
for the three months to the end of 2010 on Friday.

The financial presentation is expected to include a written statement by the Glazers of
their commitment to continued ownership of United.

While Qatar’s preference is a lone bid, it is also considering a Plan B that would see it go into partnership with the Red Knights, a group of wealthy United fans who put a £1bn bid for the club on ice last year.

The collective of City financiers and wealthy fans have made clear their determination to wrest control of the club from the Glazers, but do not have the funds to match the
Americans’ price tag.

David Gill: MUST at war with United owners

Ben Rumsby
MENMedia

Manchester United chief executive David Gill has insisted the club were right to snub fan groups who were "at war with the owners".

Gill defended the board's decision not to open a dialogue with groups such as the Manchester United Supporters Trust because their primary goal was to oust the Glazer family from Old Trafford.

MUST and other fans groups are angry that some of United's profits are used to service the club's half a billion pound debt.

Gill insisted today the board took full account of the concerns of supporters, with whom they held three to four meetings each year.

But he insisted MUST would continue to be excluded "unless they change their objective".

"We are not going to engage in structured dialogue with organisations like that," Gill told a House of Commons Select Committee inquiry into football governance.

"I don't think it's appropriate.

"They are at war with the owners."

Gill defended the foreign ownership - the Glazers are American - of Barclays Premier League clubs.

"Passport is not an issue," he said.

"You can have very bad English owners, very bad British owners."

He also backed the Glazers' refusal to communicate directly with United fans, claiming they had delegated himself and manager Sir Alex Ferguson to do so.

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Chief Exekutif Manchester United (MU), David Gill, menjamin bahwa aktivitas transfer timnya tak akan terganggu oleh utang klub yang menumpuk.

Saat ini MU mempunyai utang sebesar 370 juta poundsterling (sekitar Rp 4,969 triliun). Banyak yang memprediksi MU tak akan mengelontorkan dana banyak untuk Manajer Sir Alex Ferguson berbelanja pemain.

Namun, berita itu dibantah oleh Gill. Ia memastikan bahwa manajemen akan tetap memegang komitmen memberikan dana yang cukup untuk Ferguson. Sebelumnya tersiar kabar, MU akan memberikan dana sebesar 100 juta poundsterling (sekitar Rp 1,419 triliun) untuk Ferguson guna membeli pemain di msuim panas nanti.

"Kami tahu (utang ) itu ada tapi tak akan memengaruhi apa yang kami lakukan. Tak ada dampak dari segi transfer," kata Gill kepada Sky Sport News.

Ia menambahkan, "Keluarga Glazer akan terus mencoba untuk meningkatkan pendapatan kami serta terus berinvestasi dalam bisnis sehingga kami terus sukses."

Manchester United Will Snub Supporters Who Want to Oust the Glazer Family

Manchester United refuses to hold talks with supporter groups that want to oust its U.S. owners, the Premier League club’s Chief Executive Officer David Gill said today.

The Glazers have faced a backlash from some of the soccer team’s fans for raising debt against United to pay for their 790 million-pound ($1.3 billion) takeover in 2005. United, an 18- time English champion that was debt-free before the buyout, pays about 45 million pounds in interest to service a 500 million- pound bond that replaced a bank loan last year.

Anti-Glazer groups, ignored by United, have contacted the Premier League in an effort to get the team to communicate with independent fan organizations. Still, United is maintaining its stance.

“We don’t communicate with some fan groups but they have an avowed intention to change the ownership, so it would be slightly strange to enter dialogue with those groups that have those intentions,” Gill said at a London meeting with U.K. lawmakers looking into soccer governance.

Thousands of supporters wearing green and gold protest colors formed the backdrop to many United games last season when details of the club’s financing were published in a prospectus for the bond. The colors are those of Newton Heath, the team’s original incarnation.

Fans have also complained about rising ticket prices and the lack of big-name player acquisitions.

Even so, United has won seven major trophies under the Glazers, including three straight English championships between 2007 and 2009 and the 2008 Champions League. The team is three points clear at the top of the Premier League, has reached the Champions League round-of-16, and seen a decline in fan protests. That hasn’t convinced dissident supporters.

‘Ridiculous’

“I think its ridiculous they don’t talk to groups like ours,” Duncan Drasdo, CEO of the Manchester United Supporters Trust, a movement that opposes the Glazers, said in an interview. MUST has 67,000 members, of whom 15,000 hold season tickets, Drasdo added.

In response to a question, Gill said United wasn’t an embarrassment to the U.K. because of its finances. Instead, he said the American owners had helped to propel the club forward by increasing revenue.

The debt “doesn’t impact what we do,” said Gill. “There has been no impact in terms of our transfers.”

Sales have more than doubled under the Glazers, growing by 7.1 percent to 93.2 million pounds in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with the year-earlier period.

Commercial Sales

Annual commercial sales have increased to 100 million pounds from 40 million pounds since the Americans bought the team. United has a similar amount of cash on the balance sheet, much of it stemming from the world-record 80 million-pound sale of forward Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in 2009.

Last month the club tried to end speculation about a possible sale to the Qatari royal family. In a statement, United’s board said there had been no talks and the owners didn’t want to sell the business. Forbes Magazine estimated its market value at $1.8 billion.

Niall Quinn, chairman of Sunderland, another Premier League team, said part of the fans’ distrust of the Glazers may be caused by their reluctance to speak publicly about owning the team. The family doesn’t do media interviews about the club.

“People don’t really know what the Glazers think deep down in their hearts,” said Quinn, addressing the same parliamentary committee. Fans didn’t know if the owners cared about bad calls from a referee, watched matches or “are they just taking a call on the golf course?”

Lagi-lagi kebijakan Glazer yang merugikan ???

United stars in pay freeze

MANCHESTER UNITED'S stars could see their basic wages frozen under radical plans being considered by the club's owners.

The Glazer family may make all future contracts for new and current players more incentive based.

The plan would have far-reaching consequences in United's bid to attract players and keep their star names.

Under the scheme, players would no longer get a pay rise when renegotiating contracts but be offered greater financial incentives for number of appearances and honours won.

There is even a plan to make payments in line with how many minutes they play in games.

News of the idea has leaked down to the players, who are unhappy.

The Glazers in turn are not happy at paying people like Owen Hargreaves £80,000 a week when he does not play.

The problem will come when manager Alex Ferguson decides he needs to rest players as they will lose money.

The Glazers have been criticised for their contract policy at their American Football team Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

They are accused of putting bonuses in contracts for unreasonable targets.

It is another example of the Glazer's cost-cutting methods which have even extended to restricting which staff can have breakfast at United's Carrington training camp.

Manchester United Glazer owners make 109m loss

Manchester United's finances have come under scrutiny again after the Glazer family made a ?108.9million loss last year. The loss by Red Football Joint Venture, the family's parent company that owns United, includes some one-off costs from setting up the ?526million bond scheme last year to replace their bank loans, according to accounts filed at Companies House. The lack of income from selling players also contributed to the loss for the year ending June 30 2010 - the previous year the company had recorded ?21million profit thanks largely to the ?80million sale of Cristiano Ronaldo. Money worries: United are on course for another treble but are far from healthy off the field Last year's losses included ?30.2million interest on their ?220million payment in kind (PIK) loans which have since been paid off. United's club accounts were published in October and revealed losses of ?83.6million - the PIK interest payment is not included in the club accounts - but club chief executive David Gill said then there was ?165million in the club's bank account and that they were in a healthy position. Gill said in October: 'We have money in the bank so there is zero pressure on that, no pressure at all to sell any star player. Little to smile about: The Glazers have reported massive losses 'The philosophy is to retain and attract the best players. We have ?165million in the bank but in some ways we would prefer to have ?80million in the bank and Ronaldo on the pitch.' The highest loss recorded by a Premier League club was Chelsea's ?132million in 2005.

Pada 2010, Man. United Rugi Rp1,5 Triliun :nohope:

http://m.duniasoccer.com/var/gramedia/storage/images/duniasoccer/internasional/liga-inggris/premier-league/news/pada-2010-man.-united-rugi-rp1-5-triliun/4944382-1-ind-ID/Pada-2010-Man.-United-Rugi-Rp1-5-Triliun_detail.jpg

Masalah keuangan yang melanda pemilik Manchester United, keluarga Glazer kembali menjadi perbincangan. Apalagi kalau bukan karena utang yang menumpuk.

Kali ini dikabarkan utang tersebut bisa semakin membengkak. Pasalnya, data keuangan yang dikeluarkan Red Football Joint Venture, menyebut jika Setan Merah pada tahun lalu merugi 108,9 juta pounds atau Rp1,55 triliun!

Kerugian tersebut diperkirakan karena kecilnya pemasukan dari sisi penjualan pemain. Selain itu, bunga bank akibat pinjaman keluarga Glazer juga termasuk besar dengan jumlah mencapai 30,2 juta pounds atau Rp431,64 miliar.

Meski merugi selama tahun lalu, Ketua Eksekutif Man. United, David Gill, ternyata tetap tenang. Gill mengklaim jika keuangan klubnya tidak dalam posisi mengkhawatirkan.

"Kami masih memiliki uang di bank. Jadi, masalah utang itu tidak menekan kami. Kami juga tidak harus menjual para pemain bintang," jelas Gill.

"Intinya adalah kami ingin mempertahankan para pemain terbaik. Kami punya 165 juta pounds di bank. Namun, lebih baik lagi jika punya 80 juta pounds dengan (Cristiano) Ronaldo di lapangan," tambahnya.

Kerugian Man. United dalam rentan waktu setahun itu, merupakan yang terbesar sepanjang sejarah Premier League setelah Chelsea yang merugi 132 juta pounds pada 2005 silam.

Perusahaan Induk Merugi, MU Tetap Belanja
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

Manchester - Perusahaan induk Manchester United, Red Football, baru mengumumkan telah menderita kerugian Rp 1,543 triliun. Kendati demikian, MU dipastikan tetap punya uang untuk belanja.

Red Football adalah perusahaan yang dibentuk keluarga Glazer saat mengambil alih MU tahun 2005. Dua hari lalu, Red Football mengumumkan telah mencatat kerugian 108.9 juta poundsterling.

Kabar itu membuat pendukung MU cemas bahwa klub mereka tidak akan punya uang untuk belanja pemain baru musim depan. Kabar ini ditepis oleh Direktur MU Joel Glazer.

Kepada Manchester Evening News, Joel Glazer berucap, "Kami punya cadangan uang cukup, untuk investasi memperkuat skuad ini."

Pernyataan Joel Glazer itu menegaskan hal yang pernah diungkapkan oleh Chief Executive David Gill pada Oktober tahun lalu.

"Kami punya uang di bank, jadi tidak ada tekanan, tidak ada tekanan untuk menjual pemain bintang manapun. Filosofinya adalah mempertahankan dan mengundang pemain terbaik. Kami punya 165 juta pounds di bank," seru Gill ketika itu. (arp/arp)

Survei: Manchester United, Perusahaan Paling Dibenci di Inggris

Bola.net - Manchester United menjadi perusahaan yang paling dibenci di Inggris, sebuah jajak pendapat menunjukkan hal itu.

26% dari peserta survei nasional memilih tim asuhan Sir Alex Ferguson di puncak daftar kebencian mereka. Hal itu dipercaya sebagai akibat dari rivalitas yang kuat dengan klub lain, juga keberhasilan dan kekuatan yang dipunyai oleh United.

Perusahaan yang paling dibenci berikutnya adalah Ryanair, dengan mengumpulkan suara sebanyak 23%. British Gas, yang disalahkan karena menaikkan harga, dibenci oleh 22% pemilih. Perusahaan makanan cepat saji, McDonald's, mengumpulkan suara sebesar 19%.

Inggris masih menyisakan tempat untuk bank, dengan 17% membenci RBS dan 16% membenci Lloyd. Di urutan berikutnya ada Starbucks (14%) dan BT (13%).

Manchester United, Klub Terkaya Tujuh Tahun Beruntun
Kamis, 21 April 2011 | 08:35 WIB

TEMPO Interaktif, London - Manchester United mempertahankan singgasananya sebagai tim terkaya versi majalah Forbes, Rabu (20/4). Prestasi tersebut merupakan yang ketujuh kali secara berturut-turut diraih oleh Manchester United.

Berdasarkan pendapatan, keuntungan, dan rugi, Forbes merilis kekayaan Manchester United naik tipis menjadi US$ 1,86 miliar (Rp 16 triliun).

Kekayaan Manchester United dibuntuti oleh Real Madrid dan Arsenal. Real Madrid membukukan US$ 1,4 miliar (Rp 12 triliun). Sementara, Arsenal mengantongi nilai US$ 1,19 miliar (Rp 10 triliun).

Sementara, Barcelona turun ke peringkat kelima digeser oleh Bayern Muenchen. Nilai juara bertahan Liga Spanyol tersebut turun dari US$ 1 miliar (Rp 8,6 triliun) menjadi US$ 975 juta (Rp 8,4 triliun).

Editor Eksekutif Forbes, Mike Ozanian, mengatakan kemerosotan nilai Barcelona terjadi karena kombinasi utang yang besar, nilai mata uang dolar Amerika yang menguat, dan ketidakpastian mengenai stabilitas keuangan perusahaan yang menayangkan pertandingan-pertandingan mereka

World’s Best Selling Club Football Shirts

http://www.soccerbible.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/general.Jul10/Sep_5F00_manutd_5F00_nike.jpg

As fans delve into their pockets to buy their team's latest replica shirt, we find out that Manchester United have topped the table for selling the most club football shirts throughout the world, raking in over 1 million sales!

Manchester United football shirts and Liverpool football shirts sell more official replica, for Nike and adidas respectively, than any other teams in the English Premier League. Both are at or close to the top of the global merchandise sales tables according to multi-year research by a leading German consultancy, released to sportingintelligence for the first time.

These exclusive statistics, breaking down the figures for both Nike and adidas, are not just an insight into the fan bases for these clubs, but also re-open the debate over the commercial exploitation of fans. New football shirts seem to be a hot topic at the moment, with almost every club and national team releasing new football shirts every year at the expense of their loyal fans.

We remember a time when clubs were supposed to only release a new shirt every two seasons, but when you see these figures it makes you question whether as fans we are being exploited. If that is the case, then we're not just necessarily looking at the best supported clubs' in the world, but also the biggest culprits of exploitation. Let us know your thoughts...

Tanpa jorjoran akhirnya mampu nangkring di urutan 3, wowww... padahal dr segi brand dan prestasi kayaknya kalah sama chelsea di musim lalu dapet double, atau barca yg gk ada tandingannya... Bisa jd pembelian villa, afellay, torres, luiz, dan khususnya performa chelsea yg kurang meyakinkan diawal musim jd slh satu penyebab masing2 mengalami penurunan :-?

Kalo berhasl juara di UCL sama EPL, wah selisih 400 juta dengan madrid bisa tambah gede tuh...

Akhirnya kesempatan posting disini jaga...

Kemaren mbaca klo pool berhasil menggeser United sebagai klub dengan kontrak aparel termahal di inggris. Kontrak pool yang baru dengan (klo nggak salah) warrior sebesar 25jt pound menggeser United dengan 23,5jt pound. Klub yang penjualan kaosnya dibawah United punya kontrak lebih mahal dibanding United.

Ini berarti tamparan kedua yang diterima glazer dan tim keuangannya. Tamparan pertama tentu kontrak pool dengan standard chartered yang menyamain (bahkan ada yang bilang melebihi) kontrak United dan AON. Padahal semua tau klo United adalah klub bola paling bernilai. Bandingkan dengan "hanya" ada di peringka ke 9 klo dari daftar di atas.

Untungnya kontrak United dengan nike akan berakhir 2013 (sorry klo salah), jadi rasanya bakal ada pemecahan kontrak lagi.

Manchester United Demanding £450 Million Nike Kit Deal

http://www.united-latest.com/uploads/1/9/5/6/1956984/1068254.pnghttp://www.united-latest.com/uploads/1/9/5/6/1956984/349346.jpg

Manchester United will attempt to reach a new kit manufacturing deal with Nike in the coming months, which could see The Red Devils earn up to £35 Million per annum and over £450 Million over a period of more than a decade. The current deal with the world's no.1 sports brand expires in 2015, and will soon be renegotiated...
The France national football team recently agreed a €42.5 (£38) Million-a-year contract with Nike, lasting 7½ years. The total amount paid to The French Football Federation (The FFF) will eventually reach €319.5 (£282) Million, setting the tone for new kit manufacturing deals negotiated with American-based sports brand, Nike. Due to the fact that United obliterate France's global popularity, Nike will have to pay at least £35 Million per year to The Reds in future.

Talks have not yet commenced, but are expected to conclude before 2012. The current 13 year deal ends in 2015, having been agreed in August 2002 after Umbro, Admiral Sports and Adidas had all previously manufactured the club's kits and other merchandise. United currently receive less than £23.5 Million each year from Nike - amounting to £303 Million over more than a decade. The new deal is expected to be boosted by over £10 Million per year.

Recent contracts have seen United's world-record kit deal broken, with France and Barcelona both earning long-term arrangements with Nike worth £38 Million and £26.3 Million every year respectively. Added to this is the fact that rivals Liverpool are dropping kit creator Adidas for New Balance 'Warrior Sports' for the beginning of the 2012/2013 season, having agreed a £25 Million-a-year pact, over a currently unspecified time frame.

Considering Manchester United outsell any other sports team in the world in terms of merchandising, Nike or United cannot afford to lose their lucrative agreement. According to sources, The Glazer Family are targeting a £450 Million deal with Nike, over a period of more than 10 years - most likely 13 years. That would bring-in upwards of £35 Million to Old Trafford annually from Nike alone, not to mention approximately £100 Million in other sponsorship payments.

...Combined, enough to clear off our £600 Million debt figure over a number of years.

Dobel Gelar, Bonus Rp127 Miliar Per Pemain Manchester United
Jika bisa meraih dua gelar juara musim ini, masing-masing pemain Manchester United akan meraih bonus sekitar Rp127 miliar.

Jika ingin menambah kocek mereka di akhir musim, pemain Manchester United harus bisa memenangi dua trofi juara yang tersisa, yaitu Liga Primer Inggris dan Liga Champions.

Di Liga Primer, Manchester United berada di puncak klasemen dengan unggul tiga angka dari Chelsea, rival terdekat mereka. United mengoleksi 73 angka saat ini. Jika bisa meraih kemenangan di tiga partai tersisa, United akan mengumpulkan 82 poin dan menjadi juara.

Dengan kesepakatan pembagian bonus dalam kontrak pemain, anggota dari 18 tim reguler akan mendapat 1,500 poundsterling per poin yang didapat timnya. Jika tim mendapat 82 angka, itu artinya pemain kurang lebih mendapat 2,2 juta pounds.

Pihak klub juga akan menambah bonus antara satu juta hingga 1,3 juta pounds untuk dibagi rata ke seluruh tim, tergantung jumlah permainan yang mereka ikuti.

Sedangkan di Liga Champions, pemain United akan digelontor bonus 15 ribu pounds setelah lolos ke fase frup, ditambah 20 ribu pounds di fase gugur. Jika berhasil meraih gelar juara, per pemain kemungkinan bisa memiliki sampai 2,5 juta pounds.

Klub juga siap membagi tambahan bonus hingga tiga juta pounds untuk semua pemain dengan kesuksesan meraih gelar juara Liga Champions, dengan pertimbangan pemain yang paling sering tampil akan mendapat prioritas lebih besar.

Jika ditotal, Wayne Rooney dan kawan-kawan bisa mendapatkan bonus hingga sembilan juta pounds di akhir musim, atau sekitar Rp127 miliar. Tapi itu dengan catatan, bila mereka bisa meraih dua gelar juara. Demikian dikutip The Sun, Jumat (6/5).

Manchester United Set To Post $170 Million Operating Profit This Season
May. 9 2011 - 12:09 pm |
Forbes

Manchester United, already the most valuable and profitable sports team in the world, is set to see its worth and profitability increase dramatically because of its success on the pitch this season.

The Red Devils, owned by the billionaire Glazer family, defeated Celsea 2-1 on Sunday, giving them a virtually insurmountable six point lead in the Premier League with just two games remaining in the season. In addition, ManU plays Spain’s Barcelona May 28 at Wembley Stadium for the Champions League title.

Capturing both the Premiership and Champions League titles will mean roughly $85 million in additional revenue for Manchester United and would allow the club to post an operating profit (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of at least $170 million for the 2010-11 season.

With commercial revenue also increasing, the value of the English soccer club will be in the neighborhood of $2 billion.

MU Pecahkan Rekor Pendapatan Hak Siar

Manchester, detiksport - Kabar menggembirakan lain datang buat Manchester United usai mereka menjuarai Liga Inggris. The Red Devils memecahkan rekor pendapatan terbesar dari hak siar sepanjang musim 2010/2011.

Dikutip dari Soccernet, pendapatan MU dari penjualan hak siar mencapai jumlah 60,4 juta poundsterling atau sekitar Rp 832,7 miliar. Nilai tersebut bertambah 7 juta poundsterling (Rp 96,5 m) dibanding musim lalu dan merupakan sebuah rekor baru.

Berdasarkan data yang dirilis pihak Premier League, Blackpool jadi klub yang meraih pendapatan paling sedikit. Meski begitu nilai yang didapat klub yang kembali terdegradasi itu sesungguhnya cukup besar karena mencapai jumlah 39,1 juta poundsterling (Rp 539 m).

Perbedaan antara MU dan Blackpool tersebut menjadikan Liga Inggris sebagai kompetisi dengan perbedaan pendapatan terkecil di Eropa antara klub dengan pemasukan terbesar dan terkecil dari hak siar.

Klub yang meraih pendapatan terbesar kedua adalah Chelsea setelah berhasil mengumpulkan 57,7 juta poundsterling. Sementara di belakangnya ada Manchester City (55,5 juta poundsterling) dan Arsenal (56,2 juta poundsterling).

Premier League mendistribusikan uang hak siar televisi berdasarkan beberapa kriteria. Selain atas asal keadilan dengan memberi jumlah sama diberikan pada setiap tim, pembagian uang hak siar juga dipengaruhi perfoma dan jumlah pertandingan yang disiarkan secara langsung selama satu musim.

Untuk musim ini setiap klub mendapat jatah 13,8 juta poundsterling sebagai bentuk pembagian rata pada semua tim untuk hak siaran domestik dan sebesar 17,9 juta poundsterling untuk hak siaran internasional.

Pemasukan hak siar lain datang berdasarkan posisi di tangga klasemen akhir dengan setiap tangga klasemen berharga 756.000 poundsterling. Itu berarti West Ham United (posisi 20) mendapat 756.000 poundsterling sementara MU (posisi 1) mendapat 15,1 juta pounsterling

Setiap klub yang pertandingannya ditayangkan juga dapat pemasukan sebesar 582.000 poundsterling sebagai fee fasilitas. Ini membuat klub paling minim mendapat pemasukan sebesar 5,82 juta poundsterling.

Premier League juga diwajibkan membayar masing-masing sebesar 15 juta poundsterling pada tiga klub yang terdegradasi musim ini.

DHL sponsor Tour 2011

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/bar_1129/10_11/DHL.jpg

DHL, Manchester United’s official courier and logistics partner, has been announced as the title sponsor of the club’s summer tour of the United States.

The three-week July tour will take in Boston, Seattle, Chicago, New Jersey and Washington DC and gives the team a great opportunity to play in front of US fans.

Through the title sponsorship, DHL secured rights, including player and club legend appearances, tickets, hospitality, branding and advertising opportunities. DHL will also bring its unrivalled logistical expertise to ensure the team is delivered to each game in a DHL-branded bus.

Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: “The team is really looking forward to going back to the US. The tour is great preparation for the season and the facilities over there are fantastic. I’m looking forward to some good football and the chance to meet our fans.”

The club's commercial director, Richard Arnold, added: “We already have a fantastic relationship with DHL and so we are delighted they have decided to specifically target this important market and create a unique marketing platform by becoming the title sponsor of our summer tour. Respected and trusted around the world, DHL shares our commitment to delivering excellence and I’m certain having them on board will help make this tour a great success.”

DHL Express US chief executive officer Ian Clough said: “Our sponsorship of the Manchester United USA Tour 2011 provides an outstanding opportunity to promote DHL’s brand in major US markets. We’re excited to team with Manchester United, a truly global sports brand whose international footprint mirrors our own."

The Reds kick off the pre-season tour in Boston with a game against New England Revolution on 13 July. Further matches follow against Seattle Sounders (Seattle, 20 July), Chicago Fire (Chicago, 23 July), MLS All-Stars (New Jersey, 27 July) and Barcelona (Washington DC, 30 July).

Glazers linked with flotation and buy-out
ESPNsoccernet - June 12, 2011


The long-term future of Manchester United is the subject of speculation as its Glazer family owners have been linked with both a sale to Qatar Holdings and a floatation on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

A report in The People says that United's current transfer splash - including imminent deals for David De Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young plus links with Luka Modric, Wesley Sneijder and Samir Nasri - is being funded ahead of a takeover by Qatar, who were linked with a buy-out throughout the 2010-11 season.

Qatar Holdings, a division of the Qatar Investment Authority, are said to have had a £1.5billion offer turned down last year and were rumoured to have handed over a £250 million loan to pay off some steepling Payment-In-Kind notes. United's spokesmen have always denied such a link and insisted the club is not for sale at any price.

Qatari interests have recently assumed full control of Paris St-Germain, and now sponsor Barcelona, which may bring into question the idea of a conflict if interest for the game's administrators.

The Sunday Times however, says that the Glazer family have held talks with investment banks to investigate listing the Premier League champions on the Hong Kong stock exchange, valuing the club at £1.7 billion, more than double the £790 million paid for the club in 2005.

Their interest is said to have been triggered by the successful floatation of companies like Samsonite and Prada in Asia. The club's annual revenue of £286m and operating profit of £91m were the highest in the Premier League but Red Football, the club's holding company, incurred a £79m loss through interest payments on the debts piled on to the Glazer family via a leveraged buy-out.

Qatar Holding Tak Jadi Beli Manchester United


Serbuan pengusaha Timur Tengah semakin tinggi dalam memiliki saham klub-klub elit Eropa. Belakangan santer terdengar bahwa Manchester United bakal dibeli Qatar Holding, namun pihak Qatar Holding membantah.

Qatar Holding memang senang memiliki saham di klub sepakbola. Salah satu yang sudah dibelinya adalah klub elit Prancis, Paris St Germain, dimana perusahaan besar Timur Tengah itu memiliki 70% klub tersebut.

Tapi, untuk membeli saham MU, mereka bilang tunggu dulu. Qatar Holding menampik laporan yang menyatakan mereka akan membeli Manchester United. Pernyataan ini dikutip kantor berita Qatar, kemarin.

Ketua Ofiser Eksekutif Qatar Holding Ahmed Mohamed Al Sayed mengatakan kepada kantor berita Qatar, bahwa pihak mereka tidak pernah dan tidak akan pernah melakukan negosiasi untuk membeli klub itu

Manchester United is world's richest club says Forbes

BBC

Manchester United is still the most valuable football club in the world, according to Forbes magazine.

The Premier League title holders, who came second in a list compiled by Deloitte in February, again topped the table ahead of Real Madrid.

Forbes values United at £1.19bn($1.84bn), Real at £859m ($1.32bn), and Arsenal, in third, at £767m ($1,181m).

It uses data on income streams such as broadcast rights, sponsorship and sales of tickets and merchandise.

Barcelona is fourth in the 20-team list which includes six clubs from the Premier League plus Newcastle United who have spent this season playing in the Championship.

Liverpool, Chelsea and AC Milan all made the top 10, but the trio's value had each fallen by 19% in the 2008/09 season according to the Forbes calculations.

Juventus and Olympic Marseille had the two biggest increases in value - each gaining 9% on the previous year.

Increasing sponsorship and media revenue meant "the news continues to be good for investors" said Michael Ozanian, national editor at Forbes.

However the average worth of the clubs in the list fell 8.5%.

FORBES MAGAZINE TOP 10:

1 Manchester United £1.165billion
2 Dallas Cowboys £1.13bn
3 New York Yankees £1.06bn
4 Washington Redskins £960million
5 Real Madrid £900m

Gill happy with United finances

Jul 30 2011

Manchester United chief executive David Gill has answered parliamentary criticisms of leveraged buy-outs at football clubs by claiming the Red Devils are "very comfortable" with their financial position.

Concern over organisations borrowing money to mount takeover bids was one of the issues raised by the damning report into football governance delivered by the Culture, Media and Sport select committee. That was exactly how the Glazer family managed to secure control of the Old Trafford outfit in 2005, plunging them into huge debts that presently stand at £490million.

"With respect to Manchester United, we are very comfortable with our financial structure," said Gill.

"We are producing record turnover and record profits and we can meet our obligations. We have been clear all along. There is money in the bank.

"Some people have not believed us but if a player is required to improve the squad and challenge for top honours, the money is there. That is still the case. We are not afraid to spend big money on players of a certain age."

Indeed, United have already splashed out £50million on Ashley Young, David de Gea and Phil Jones, with the possibility of someone else to come if the right deal can be done. In addition, key contracts have been negotiated, with Gill confirming Antonio Valencia will sign a contract extension when United return to Manchester next week.

The Ecuador winger, who hopes to be fit for the Premier League opener at West Brom on August 14, enjoyed an outstanding first season with the Old Trafford outfit after moving from Wigan in 2009.

He then broke his ankle in a Champions League tie with Rangers, ruling him out for six months, but eventually recovered to earn himself a spot in Sir Alex Ferguson's Champions League final starting line-up.

"We're in the process of finalising it. He has been to the Copa America and we've been away but that will be sorted out next week," said Gill.

He also confirmed talks over an extension to Javier Hernandez's contract will begin "in the autumn".

Glazers to 'sell off' United! American owners plan share sale to slash crippling debt

The Glazer family are planning to sell up to a quarter of the shares they own in Manchester United in a move which is hoped will raise £400million for the Premier League champions.

United chiefs are hoping the move will allow them to cut the massive £500m debts which currently hang over the club and reduce the £45m-a-year repayments they must make to service the debt.

The American owners value the club at £1.7billion, but will still retain the controlling share, despite the huge sale of between 15 and 25 per cent of the business, according to reports in The Sunday Mirror.

A city source said: ‘The belief is that the Glazers are trying to clear as much of the United debt as possible but still retain at least 75 per cent of the club and therefore stay in full control.

‘It’s a smart move. It’s a win-win situation for them because it also enables them to put a stop to the criticism that United is a Glazers’ closed shop.

‘If they take this route then they will be open to greater public scrutiny and many United supporters – even those who are their biggest critics – will welcome that.

‘To make the club attractive to potential investors they will have to aim to pay dividends to all shareholders.

‘If they did that at the moment they would be the only beneficiaries and be accused of taking money directly out of the business.

‘If they have got other shareholders they can fully justify paying everyone a dividend – and that would be worth tens of millions of pounds to the Glazers.

‘Another factor that would please many fans is that this new funding could also create a situation where more money would be made available for Sir Alex Ferguson to spend on his team.’

United for sale? Glazers plan to raise £600m with Singapore share flotation

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2026646/Manchester-United-sale-Glazers-plan-raise-600m-Singapore-share-flotation.html

Total dana yang bisa diraup dari IPO sekitar 600jt pound. Bukan gali lobang tutup lobang sih, malah mungkin taktik licik mereka juga. Aku nggak sebegitu paham masalah ini sih, tapi sejauh pengetahuanku dari baca berita2 itu sih ada beberapa poin tentang isu itu:
1. Tujuan mereka IPO buat ngelunasi utang United. Utang United saat ini sekitar 500jt pound. Jadi masih surplus dana dan (katanya berita) lebihnya bisa buat dana transfer Fergie.
2. Trus tujuan lainnya adalah mengalihkan pos pengeluaran bunga pinjaman tahunan jadi deviden buat pemegang saham. Jadi mereka bisa dapet pemasukan dari deviden. Meski ya saat ini sebagai pemilik klub mereka bisa aja ngambil duit klub, tapi klo utang dah nihil mungkin mereka bisa lebih sesuka hati ngambil porsi duit coz tidak ada pengeluaran bunga utang yang mencapai 45jt pound setahun. Atau... klo mereka dah insaf :hammer:, dana 45jt pound bisa buat modal belanja manager tiap awal musim.
3. Mereka hanya menjual sekitar 25%-30% saham klub jadi mereka masih tetep pemilik mayoritas United yang memegang kuasa atas klub. Jadi disatu sisi mereka dapat dana segar buat klub dari non-hutang dan disisi lain mereka masih memiliki kuasa penuh atas klub.

Jadi... hayuk, yang mau beli saham United :P

IPO / initial public offering: penawaran umum perdana yaitu penjualan pertama saham umum sebuah perusahaan kepada investor umum, biasanya disertai prospektus sebagai gambaran kondisi perusahaan tersebut. Ya seperti IPO sebagian saham pemerintah di perusahaan2 BUMN ke bursa. Dengan begitu siapapun bisa memiliki saham perusahaan tersebut, ayo pada beli saham United daripada beli jersey!!
Kedepan bisa saja Glazer menjual sejumlah % saham berikutnya.

Breaking: United Apply For Singapore Stock Exchange

ROM

As was rumoured earlier this week, it looks as though the Glazers are prepared to float on the Singapore stock exchange.

United have lodged a listing application and the share sell off could be complete by the end of the year.
The money raised by selling off this chunk of the club could then be used to reduce the club’s debt.

Yup... di andersred dah muncul. Yang mau tau info dari pakarnya... langsung aja.

http://andersred.blogspot.com/2011/08/key-issues-surrounding-united-flotation.html

Tapi ya kok makin bingung :hammer: emang bukan pakarnya, cuma bisa ngikutin berita aja. Hanya dari artikel itu ada potongan yang nggak enak...

"1. What will the Glazers would do with the proceeds of an IPO?

One obvious answer is to pay down some of the club’s £400m (net) debt, the bonds issued in 2010. That would, without question, be good for the club, reducing the interest bill (currently around £45m per annum) and freeing up more cash to invest in the club.

The other answer, and in my view far more plausible, is that the cash will go to Florida to bolster the Glazers’ personal finances. As has been well documented, the Glazers obtained £249.1m (c. $400m) from an unknown source in November 2010 to repay the infamous PIKs. I have it on good authority that this money was borrowed. The family’s highly leveraged US strip malls business, First Allied, continues to struggle. In 2013, NFL teams will have to meet a wage “floor” which will (on current figures) reduce the profitability of the notoriously low spending Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All in all, the family could do with a significant injection of cash.

Ujung2nya ya cuma buat glazer aja :sikat:

Manchester United net DHL in multimillion pound sponsorship deal
by Daniel Farey-Jones, 22 August 2011, 9:41am

Manchester United are to have their training kit sponsored in a deal with logistics company DHL that is believed to be worth around £10m per season.

According to The Sunday Times, which put the value of the deal at around the £4m mark, it is the first time a club has secured a second sponsor just for its training kit.

The club's shirts have been sponsored since last season by financial giant AON, which struck a four-year £20m per-season deal.

There is no official line on how long the DHL deal will last, or whether it will be up and running in time for Manchester United's game against Tottenham tonight (22 August), but a source close to the club said the two parties had agreed a 4-year contract that would net the footbal club "More than the Vodafone deal, but less that AIG".

This would put the deal between the £30m and £50m mark, an astonishing amount for a second sponsor and one that would dwarf many of the deals currently in place in the Premiership for lead shirt sponsors.

Neither the club nor DHL would confirm the amount, and neither have released details on the exact nature of the deal, though DHL said it would be releasing a statement shortly and Manchester United are expected to release their own statement at 2pm.

DHL's relationship with Manchester United started in February with a seven-figure, three-year deal giving the company responsibility for the distribution of United's range of merchandise, including match programmes and shirts, across the world.

In return, DHL is able to conduct a range of consumer marketing and B2B marketing activities across a number of United platforms.

These include digital advertising on perimeter boards, match day programmes, branding on the club website, and at events hosted at the club's Old Trafford stadium.

Manchester United kembali menunjukkan kekuatan segi daya jual klub. pada pekan ini, Red Devils dikabarkan akan menjadi klub Inggris pertama yang seragam latihannya disponsori sebuah perusahaan.

Seperti yang diberitakan The Sunday Times , Man. United menjalin kesepakatan dengan perusahaan DHL . Untuk tiga tahun ke depan, DHL akan membayar Man. United sebesar 4 juta pounds per musimnya.

DHL akan menjadi sponsor sekunder Man. United setelah perusahaan keuangan, AON . Perusahaan tersebut menjadi sponsor jersey Man. United dengan nilai 20 juta pounds per musim.

Kendati seperlima lebih kecil dari nilai kontrak AON , kerjasama antara Man. United dan DHL dianggap sudah cukup besar. Bayangkan saja, besaran angka kontrak dengan DHL melebihi nilai sponsor jersey utama Fulham yaitu FXPro .

Fulham hanya menerima 3,5 juta pounds dari kerjasamanya dengan FXPro . Lebih kecil setengah juta pounds dari nilai kontrak seragam latihan Man. United per musimnya.

Man Utd continue to swell the sponsorship coffers
22.08.11 | Dave Williams

Manchester United have confirmed two new commercial deals, including the announcement of DHL as their first training-kit sponsor.

The DHL branding will now be worn during training sessions outside of European games.

United have not put a figure on the four-year deal, although it is understood the Old Trafford outfit will collect £40million over the length of the contract.

In addition, the club also announced a three-year partnership with Vietnam's leading mobile telecommunications company, Beeline, to distribute United content in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

United claim to have an estimated 16million supporters in Vietnam alone.

"Manchester United has always been at the forefront of the game off the pitch as well on it and this partnership is another example of that," said boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Everyone knows about the passion of our fans in that part of the world and this deal makes it a lot easier for us to keep in touch with them."

eh gimana perkembangan isu IPO di singapore Stock Exchange terus perkembangan pengumpulan dana buat lunasin DEBT dari supporter gimana?? sharing dari MUST sorry klo repost ya

http://action.joinmust.org/page/-/images/UnitedNeedsYou421.jpg

UNITED NEEDS YOU
The confirmation of the MUFC Singapore IPO is a major victory for the Green & Gold campaign.

The Glazers issued a bond prospectus in January 2010 and in so doing triggered the Green & Gold uprising. Green & Gold was a global phenomenon fought in the areas of media and politics as well as on the terraces. It was an uprising like nothing seen before at OT or perhaps anywhere in English football.

The bonds actually created more expensive debt and more of it than the club's previous bank financing, however crucially they allowed the Glazers to take up to £95m in a cash "carve out" from MUFC's coffers with much more to come over subsequent years. There was no other good reason to swap the bond debt for the previous cheaper bank debt.

So while the bonds were more expensive the Glazers desperately needed the money - their PIK debt was rolling up at an alarming rate and threatening to get out of control and there was no other spare cash in the empire.

Such was impact of Green & Gold throughout 2010 however, that the Glazers feared an outright rebellion and had to withdraw their plans to take the carve out money.

At meetings on 8th October 2010 between Uniteds' Chief of Staff, Ed Woodward and the various PIK holders when questions as to why they hadn't taken the carve out to pay down part of the PIK debt Woodward confirmed that they weren't taking it for fear of fan rebellion. This was confirmed by two sources including one of the actual PIK holders who was present at one of the meetings - this was reported by Bloomberg at the time. http://bit.ly/glazersfearbacklash

So the PIK problem remained for the Glazers but the Green & Gold had saved United at least £95m. A huge victory for the football club by any measure but of course the danger remained that they would just wait for the protest to die down before taking the money.

As it became clear the Glazers had decided not to raid the club's coffers, Green & Gold protest dropped from its spectacular peak, but it refused to go away and was actually stronger at the end of 2010-11 season than it had been at the start. Clearly it continued to simmer under the surface and so the Glazers had to look at Plan B.

First they needed to get the PIKs out of the spotlight as these had been a catalyst for protest.

The PIKs were suddenly and without explanation "paid up" in November 2010 at a cost of £249m.

One option was of course to sell outright, but despite well publicised interest from Qatar and other sources, no-one was prepared to pay the outlandish price they were putting on the club.

That left only one realistic option - they'd need to sell part of their holding in the club to deal with their debt problems and so Plan B came into play with the Singapore float.

But their debt is still on our club. This is the same debt that David Gill continuously told us was not a problem and not affecting our ability to compete.

So from a position last year where the club could have lost more than £95m with much more to follow and the Glazers still in 100% control we now see the possibility of them conceding total control - opening the club up to financial scrutiny and indeed perhaps to shared ownership with supporters and paying down at least part of the bond debt.

Provided the valuation is sensible the IPO is a major opportunity to raise funds so it should be used first to clear the debt the Glazers put on our club before they help themselves to the proceeds. They've already cost our club hundreds of millions in interest and fees so the least they can do is pay their own debt. It is debt foisted on the club by them and they should be responsible for repaying it. It is crucial to recognise that the IPO is a watershed moment at which point the debt position is set in stone with no chance of the Glazers repaying a penny of it in future.

All remaining debt after IPO will become the club's responsibility forever more. Effectively at that point they will have taken that money from Manchester United meaning our club (and fans) will have to pay their debt off. So it is the duty of every fan to stand up to protect our club from further un-necessary fees and interest payments. What true fan of the club wouldn't want to see the Glazers pay for their own debt rather than foisting it on the club. What could we do with that money in the transfer market or stadium development?

The news that United will float (IPO) on the Singapore Stock Exchange may have met with mixed responses but one thing it does confirm is a significant victory for supporters and the Green & Gold campaign.

Green & Gold was born in the wake of the Glazers' bond issue and the realisation that this enabled them to take up to £95m out of our club in one swoop (with much more to follow) to pay down their PIK debts. We know (and will be enlarging on this later) that the Green & Gold protest inspired a fear of a backlash if they took that money and the Singapore listing is final confirmation that they have abandoned this course in favour of Plan B.

So a significant victory saving our club a huge sum of money so many may feel Green & Gold has done its job. However we now face a further challenge to capitalise on this progress and get the Glazers to do the right thing and pay down all of THEIR debt on OUR club out of the IPO proceeds. That is absolutely possible for them - they just don't want to.

Whatever debt is left on the club after the IPO will effectively have been transferred from the Glazers to Manchester United forever. Would you rather the Glazers paid their debt (totalling £508m in issued bonds) or that it was paid out of the potentially huge proceeds from sale of some of their shares?

Of course the Glazers should pay their own debt. What kind of United fan would rather our club paid for their debt?

To that end we are launching a new campaign “United Needs You” calling on every United fan to stand up to protect the club and help to free it from the Glazers’ debt. See poster below which is the first symbol of this new campaign.

It's time for the Glazers to finally do the right thing.

The only thing we want to lose this season is the debt.

Green and Gold for a debt free United.

This is the rebirth of Green and Gold - building it up from the bottom once again. If you are going to the match tonight or wherever you are watching it show your support for a debt free United.

It's fine to wear Green & Gold and Red together. You might say Red is supporting the team, Green & Gold is for the club.

This isn't a fashion statement - it is a symbol of your commitment to a cause and in the best interests of our Football Club.

Green and Gold is for a debt free United. Are you?

DHL delivers shirt deal
22/08/2011 13:10, Report by Communications Dept

http://www.manutd.com/~/media/C3F39F2EAE1242B3935A695BC112E392.ashx?h=179&la=ar-SA&w=240&rgn=29,0,830,598

DHL, the world’s leading express and logistics company, has become the first official training kit sponsor of Manchester United in a ground-breaking deal for English football.

The new four-year-agreement sees the DHL logo included on the Club's training kit worn by all first, reserve and youth team players during domestic competitions and builds on DHL’s relationship behind the scenes at the club.

DHL has been the Club's Official Logistics Partner for a year and played a key role supporting United’s pre-season tour of the United States, and will continue to work hard to help deliver success on and off the pitch.

To mark the extended partnership, and as part of United's celebrations of its record-breaking 19th top-flight championship win last season, the logistics company will be delivering the Club's gift to its fans attending Monday evening's match against Tottenham Hotspur - a specially-commissioned commemorative scarf for each United supporter.

Announcing the new deal, Manchester United’s Chief Executive, David Gill, said: “This deal breaks new ground in the English game. We are delighted that DHL has chosen to pioneer training kit sponsorship with the Club. Their global presence and international standing are a perfect fit for the world’s most popular football club.”

Commercial Director Richard Arnold said: “This is a deal that continues to demonstrate the Club’s position as the most innovative and successful in the game. DHL have been a great partner to work with and have integrated with the Club’s operations seamlessly. The work they did around this summer’s US tour was striking and we are looking forward to developing a broader relationship in the future.”

John Pearson, CEO DHL Express (Europe), said: “This strategic partnership will see DHL getting more involved in the behind the scenes operations of Manchester United and supporting the club in its continued success.

“Building on our current relationship with the world’s biggest football club reflects our ability to provide unparalleled logistics services for customers across the globe.”

Manchester United Said to Sign Mister Potato Deal Before Share Offering
By Sanat Vallikappen and Tariq Panja

Manchester United Ltd., the record 19-time English soccer champion, will sign a sponsorship deal with Malaysian snacks maker Mamee Double Decker Bhd. next month, said three people familiar with the matter.

The tie-up is with Mister Potato, a brand of potato crisps and chips made by the Kuala Lumpur-listed company, said the people who did not want to be identified before the signing and official announcement in the middle of September. The brand’s market share in Malaysia for potato products was as much as 48 percent last year, according to the company’s website.

The plan comes as the Premier League team plans an initial public offering in Singapore to raise $1 billion later this year, three people familiar with the IPO plans said last week. A stake of up to 30 percent may be sold, said one of the people. The club wants to cut financing costs and raise money that could be used for players. It spends about 45 million pounds ($74 million) a year to service a 500 million-pound bond.

The club, which Forbes magazine estimates is now worth $1.8 billion and Deloitte LLP says is the richest in revenue behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in a list published in February 2011, has about 190 million of its 330 million fans in Asia.

Manchester United declined to comment on the deal, as did Paul Anand, an outside spokesman for Mamee Double Decker.

“The multitude of local events we run with global and local partners, and a prospective forthcoming tour of Asia in 2012, necessitate expanding our footprint both with people and office space,” Manchester United said in a statement earlier this month. “This is consistent with the huge appeal of Manchester United in the region, borne out of nearly 40 years of visiting.”

Strategic Shift

The deal with Mamee Double Decker will allow the use of Manchester United’s Red Devil logo and images of star players such as Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez, according to one of the people familiar with the plan.

Under the U.S.-based Glazer family, the team’s owners, and former JPMorgan Chase & Co. banker Edward Woodward, the team’s chief of staff, Manchester United changed the way it deals with sponsors in 2008 to capitalize on its global appeal.

The club has signed regional and sector-specific deals as well as preserving the rights of global partners, allowing commercial revenue, excluding shirt sales, to grow 10-fold to 40 million pounds since June 2008.

The team’s principal sponsor Aon Corp. (AON) agreed to pay 80 million pounds for the right to have its name emblazoned on the team’s shirt for four years. The contract with Mammee Double Decker, will be the latest to be signed with an Asian company,

Asian Sponsors

Existing sponsors from Asia include India’s Bharti Airtel Ltd. (BHARTI), South Korean tire-maker Kumho Tire Co. and Thai beer brand Singha. In August, the club signed PCCW Ltd. (8) as its official telecommunications and broadcast partner for Hong Kong.

The team has won four Premier League titles and appeared in three Champions League finals, winning in 2008, since it was bought by the Glazers in 2005. A decline in performances on the field won’t affect its income from sponsors because none of the contracts carry success clauses.

Overall commercial revenue is close to passing 100 million pounds for the first time, which would bring it in line with the team’s broadcast and match day income. The club has 70 employees in a London-based commercial sales office and plans to relocate to a larger property. It’s also seeking to open an office in Asia. The team is seeking global partners in the energy, information technology and mobile-phone industries.

The club’s revenue puts it in third place globally for sales behind Spain’s Real Madrid and Barcelona. Last month, Premier League rival Arsenal announced record sales of 379.9 million pounds on property sales. Yet, the sales for the team’s soccer activities declined by 1.3 percent to 222.9 million pounds.

Manchester United set to post record profits before Asia flotation
• Club will this week record operating profits of £100m
• Profits may help success of shares on Singapore market

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Clubs/Club_Home/2011/8/30/1314736012840/Manchester-United-005.jpg

Manchester United will this week report record operating profits of more than £100m and are set to use Thursday's financial results as a springboard for a bid to raise up to $1bn (£614m) by floating a minority stake in Singapore.

An increase in revenues, understood to have topped £300m for the first time from last year's figure of £286.4m, has been driven by new overseas sponsorship deals that are likely to have pushed commercial income above £100m for the first time.

That figure does not include the £10m a year DHL training kit sponsorship deal or other recently signed contracts. The club is likely to point out that operating profits have more than doubled from £43m since the Glazers took over in 2005. In contrast to last year's record losses of £83.3m, driven by one-off costs related to a £526m bond issue, the club is expected to record a net profit for the year ending June 2011. But campaigners against the Glazer regime will point to the impact of £45m in annual interest repayments on the club's bottom line.

They calculate that £434m has flowed out of the club in interest, fees and debt repayment since 2005. The chief executive, David Gill, has repeatedly insisted the club can shoulder the interest burden and still compete for the best players. For the ambitious flotation scheme to succeed when it goes ahead in mid-October, Manchester United will have to overcome doubts about the way it is structured. It is understood that the club will pursue a dual share structure, whereby investors will have to purchase one "non-voting" share for every voting share, allowing the Glazers to raise funds while staying in control of the club.

Sources argue it is modelled on the US sports model, where clubs in the NFL and the NBA must have a single designated owner, and will allow for strategic long-term planning and swift decision making. "This structure works best for the club, Manchester United as a company and shareholders and the evidence is the club's results in the last five years," a source said. "It is what works well in football given the rapid nature of decisions required and specialist knowledge of the football transfer market."

But corporate governance experts said it was out of step with best practice and increasingly frowned upon by investors.

A spokesman for the Association of British Insurers said: "Investors in the UK market in particular, and to a lesser extent across Europe, do not favour dual share structures. There is a common idea of one share, one vote, so that your economic interests are the same as your voting interests."

Corporate governance consultancy PIRC said it "approves of the 'one share, one vote' structure for companies share capital, and generally disapproves of dual class stock structures which have varying voting and dividend payments rights".

A spokesman added: "In our view, shareowners who have the same financial commitment to the company should have the same rights. Where a company is creating a new class of shares, or seeking an increase in the number of shares of the class of stock that has superior voting rights, we will usually oppose the capital restructuring."

At the height of the hacking scandal, there was much criticism from shareholders of News Corporation's dual share structure.

Anne Simpson, the corporate governance chief at the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), said last month that not having one vote for each share was "a corruption of the corporate governance system".

She added: "We believe that the control of a company should reflect its ownership. That's capitalism."

MUST call for Glazers to clear Manchester United debt

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/507.$plit/C_71_article_1457780_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?02%2F09%2F2011%2008%3A30%3A20%3A771

The Manchester United Supporters Trust have repeated their call for the Glazer family to use the proceeds from their intended Singapore Stock Market flotation to wipe away the club's massive debt.

Even MUST, who have always opposed the Glazer families ownership of United, admit the latest figures, revealed on Thursday, are impressive.

However, whilst acknowledging the work done by commercial director Richard Arnold and his staff, they believe most of the credit should go to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

And, in acknowledging how Ferguson managed to collect a record 19th title and a place in last season's Champions League final with minimal investment in his squad, they now want the debt cleared to allow United to really punch their weight.

"The commercial team at United are clearly smart operators and we welcome continued growth in the business but to be fair we've seen growth consistently year after year long before the Glazers took over," they said.

"There is only one man who is responsible for that consistent success - the same one responsible for success on the pitch - Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Without the incredible performance on the pitch and the fantastic loyal support of thousands of match-going fans, as well as millions more around the world, there would be no platform on which to build the growth of the business.

"So while the financial results are strong, they also show that the Glazers have taken another £51m out of the club in the last 12 months as well as using an even bigger chunk (£64m) of the club's money to pay down part of their bond debt.

"This is money that the club has generated and money that should stay in the club rather than go to Florida or to pay down the Glazers' debt and interest.

"That's why we're calling on the Glazers to use any share sale in Singapore to clear all of the club's debt - debt that they put on the club and they must take responsibility for."

The Singapore venture provides the backdrop to United posting record operating profits of £110.9million.

This comes from record revenue of £331.4million - an increase of £45million from last year and passing £300million for the first time.

Commercial turnover for the Premier League title winners and Champions League finalists reached £103.4million, with matchday turnover (£108.6million) and media (£119.4million) also up.

Net debt, meanwhile, is down to £308.3million due to the club's vast cash reserves.

United jadi klub paling bernilai tinggi di Dunia!
Ini berdasarkan survey yg diadain tahun kemarin,..
Pantes aja MUST, KNIGHT, dan kroni lainnya mentok mulu nentang glazers ;))

Manchester United Rated World’s Most Valuable Team

New York. Jakarta Globe - American football’s Dallas Cowboys were rated the most valuable US sport franchise at $1.85 billion on Wednesday in a Forbes magazine survey, but Manchester United still leads the world at $1.9 billion.

The financial details released gave the Cowboys a $150 million edge in worth on their nearest US sport rivals, Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees, but the English Premier League club still edged them for global valuation.

Forbes calculations of total revenues and profits were based upon the 2010 season, but valuations were made after the NFL club owners locked out players for 4 1/2 months until mid-July, just ahead of pre-season training camps.

The report, which ranked the average NFL team value at $1.036 billion, comes on the eve of the 2011 season, which opens Thursday with the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers facing the New Orleans Saints.

The New York Giants made the biggest value increase, 10 percent to $1.3 billion, after moving into a new stadium last year. The New York Jets, who share the stadium, jumped seven percent to fifth overall at $1.223 billion.

Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, also own the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had the worst drop in value at five percent to $981 million.

In all, 18 teams increased in value, nine decreased and five stayed the same, including the Washington Redskins, who were second overall at $1.55 billion with the new England Patriots third at $1.4 billion.

The NFL boasted 15 of 32 clubs worth $1 billion or more, with the Jacksonville Jaguars last on the list at $725 million.

Two teams reported negative operating income for the 2010 campaign in the survey, the Detroit Lions at a deficit of $7.7 million and the Cleveland Browns at $2.9 million in the hole.

tergantung dr sisi mana dibilang stabil bro :)
Utang glazers ke bank ya tetep sebanyak dulu, hanya aja profit yg dy dapet perlahan berusaha digedein bwt nutupin utang td. Jadi utang masih tetep dan bakal selalu ada, berlaku bwt semua klub.. Jadi bukan berarti kita masuk urutan pertama Forbes kemudian berbanding lurus dgn rasio utang :)

Berapapun utangnya yg penting bisa menuhin aturan Financial Fairplay yang uda berlaku musim depan. Itu yg terpenting... bisa dibilang saat itu baru boleh dikatain Stabil :)

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Manchester-United-target-new-1-5billion-plus-takeover-bid-by-Qatari-royal-family-article799988.html

EXCLUSIVE: Qataris in new £1.5bn-plus United bid

Manchester United are a £1.5billion-plus target for a new takeover bid by the Qatari royal family.

Top Middle East sources revealed last night that an official approach to the Glazer family is being made and a deal could even be clinched by next week.

The American owners - who have angered fans by running one of the world’s top clubs in their own controversial way - could be open to doing business, despite past refusals.

The super-rich Qataris think United is a good deal - even at the profit it would make for the current rulers and other shareholders.

Qatar has already won the right to host the World Cup finals in 2022 and some of their wealthy elite have bought into top European projects at Spanish club Malaga and French giants Paris St Germain.

Now United is the prize - although the exact identity of the buyer is being kept under wraps.

The Mirror understands that a delegation from the Qatari royal family, headed by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, will be in Manchester on Monday in a bid to conclude the deal.

The news would be a boost for boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who is trying to compete with neighbours Manchester City’s new wealth, which also, ironically, comes from the Arab world.

Tambahan... United dah dapet persetujuan buat ngejual sahamnya di bursa saham singapura.

Manchester United Said to Get Singapore Exchange’s IPO Approval
Joyce KohSep 15, 2011 11:26 pm ET - washpost.bloomberg

Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Singapore’s stock exchange approved Manchester United’s application to raise about $1 billion in an initial public offering in the city-state, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

As much as two-thirds of Manchester United’s offering will likely be in preferred shares, which may carry at least double the dividend of ordinary stock while lacking voting rights, said the people. The declined to be identified as the IPO process is private.

Singapore’s bourse lured United in part by offering a speedier approval process for the IPO, bankers with knowledge of the matter said last month. United applied for the Singapore listing on Aug. 18, people familiar with the deal said.

United’s dual-share structure offers a way for the Glazer family to retain control of the football club after the IPO, the people said. Spokespeople for United and Singapore Exchange Ltd. didn’t immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment on the approval.

The company hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley as so-called bookrunners for the IPO together with Credit Suisse Group AG, three people with knowledge of the matter said last month. United also picked BOC International Ltd., CLSA Asia- Pacific Markets, CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. and DBS Group Holdings Ltd. as co-lead arrangers for the offering, the people said.

United’s parent company, Red Football Ltd., this month posted a record full-year operating profit of 110.9 million pounds ($175.4 million) for the 12 months to June 30.

versi indonesianya....maap kalau salah


Status Manchester United sebagai salah satu klub tersukses dan terkaya dunia rupanya menjadi incaran beberapa investor. Salah satunya adalah Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar.

Berdasarkan sumber internal keluarga kerajaan kepada Mirror, pendekatan sudah dilakukan kepada Keluarga Glazer. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Tani bakal menjadi delegasi Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar untuk bernegosiasi pada Senin (19/9/2011) besok.

Ketertarikan Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar untuk mengambil alih Man. United tak lepas dari ketidaksukaan fans terhadap Malcom Glazer. Taipan asal Amerika Serikat itu dinilai fans menjalankan Red Devils dengan cara kontroversial. Termasuk dengan menggunakan utang pihak ketiga.

Besar tawaran Keluarga Kerajaan Qatar itu tidak tanggung-tangung. Konon, uang 1,5 juta pounds atau sebesar Rp 20 triliun disiapkan untuk mengambil alih Red Devils.

Ketertarikan itu tentu bisa menjadi sinyal positif bagi Sir Alex Ferguson. Dengan didukung oleh kekayaan melimpah, manajer Red Devils itu bisa bersaing dengan rival sekota, Manchester City, yang telah lebih dulu bergelimang uang dari pengusaha minyak asal Timur Tengah.

Sementara, rencana Glazer untuk melepas saham ke Bursa Saham Singapura (SEM) sudah mendapatkan lampu hijau. Rencananya, saham yang dilepas akan bernilai satu miliar dolar AS.

Mungkin bisa sedikit ngasih penjelasan (versi diri sendiri yang pasti nggak valid dan hanya dari mbaca2 aja).

Ada quote dari andersred tentang pertanyaan "Lebih besar mana sih ? Dividen utk pemegang saham atau bunga pinjaman ? Yang mana yg lebih murah , itulah yg dipilih donk ya :putra: :hammer:".

What will the club's policy on dividends be?
This is crucial as paying down debt and reducing the £45m interest bill doesn't improve the club's financial position if interest payments are just replaced by dividend payments. The club does not have to pay dividends post flotation, but twenty eight of the the thirty companies in Singapores's Straits Times Index (the "STI", the equivalent of the FTSE) do. The STI yields over 3%. If United had a market capitalisation of (say) £1.2bn, and yielded 3%, that's an annual dividend bill of around £36m.

Klo dari penjelasan Andy diatas besar bunga pinjaman dan deviden nggak jauh beda, 45jt dan 36jt pound meski untuk deviden bisa berubah2 tiap tahunnya tergantung pemegang saham (atau direksi :P).

Klo menurut pendapatku ada positifnya utang :hammer: dan ada positifnya ngelepas saham.

Positifnya utang... Bunga utang kan mengurangi penghasilan sebelum pajak, jadi dengan bunga gede maka pajak yang musti dibayar perusahaan makin kecil. Hanya saja dengan aturan finansial fair play yang akan diterapkan keberadaan hutang gede bisa jadi halangan meski pendapatan United sendiri gede.

Positifnya ngelepas saham jelas bisa dipake buat ngelunasi hutang dan bisa jadi modal belanja manajer. Hanya saja pengeluaran deviden kan tidak mengurangi penghasilan perusahaan sebelum pajak jadi ya kemungkinan besar pajak yang dibayarkan perusahaan makin besar dari klo ada pembayaran bunga.

Klo masalah Qatar, bener (klo nggak salah) mereka juga pemilik saham mayoritas PSG dan Malaga. Seingatku sih nggak masalah 1 pihak memiliki saham mayoritas lebih dari 1 klub di 1 federasi. Hanya jadi masalah klo 2 (atau lebih) klub itu sama2 bermain di ajang eropa yang sama (misalnya UCL). Itu baru (klo nggak salah) dilarang oleh UEFA.

Hal itu pernah terjadi pas Chelsea (yang dimiliki Abramovic) maen di UCL trus ada klub Rusia (lupa yang mana, tapi mungkin Zenit St. Petersburg) yang juga dimiliki Abramovic (atau perusahaannya) dan maen dikompetisi eropa. Hanya saja aku agak lupa gimana penyelesaiannya, tapi yang jelas kondisi itu (dimiliki oleh pihak yang sama) sempet jadi permasalahan.

Klo aku sih ingin dimiliki Qatar aja. Ngebayangin United bisa lebih leluasa ngeluarin duit buat beli pemaen manapun rasanya sip meski aku yakin Fergie nggak akan seedan mancio.

United sign Mister Potato

http://www.manutd.com/~/media/B1EF144EDBDF4C138A5AE1DD255DD54B.ashx?h=179&la=ar-SA&w=120&rgn=0,1,376,564

Sir Alex and six of his first-team stars joined together at Old Trafford to welcome the club's newest global partner, Mister Potato, to the United family.

Malaysian company Mamee-Double Decker owns more than 30 per cent of the snack food business in Malaysia, with Mister Potato the most popular snack brand in the country. As part of the deal, Mamee Noodles will also become an official partner in Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.

In time, it's anticipated canisters of the Mister Potato crisps will be sold inside the stadium on matchdays. For now, though, the product will feature new packaging in Asia, featuring imagery of some of United's biggest stars.

Mamee hope the partnership with Manchester United will help the company double its revenue by 2014. Chief Executive Officer Datuk Pang Tee Chew said: "A substantial portion of United fans are in Asia and we are looking to solidify our position as the number one stacked chip brand in the region."

Journalists and VIPs from Malaysia flew to Old Trafford for a special launch to mark the beginning of the three-year deal.

Speaking at the event, Sir Alex Ferguson recalled the club's most recent visit to Malaysia, in 2009.

"We look at Malaysia as one of our main areas of support," he said. "We had 35,000 people turn up to an open training session!

"The loyalty the fans there have shown us over many years has been fantastic and I hope this is the start of another long association. I'm sure our partnership with Mamee will be 100 per cent."

Michael Owen, Chris Smalling, Ashley Young, Mame Biram Diouf, Ji-sung Park and Antonio Valencia also attended the launch. They chatted, signed autographs and posed for pictures with the guests.

PM Qatar Gerah Dikaitkan dengan United
Hendra Mujiraharja - Okezone

DOHA - Manchester United dikabarkan telah membuka peluang bagi investor lain untuk membeli Setan Merah. Namun, salah satu investor dari Qatar dengan tegas membantah telah melakukan penawaran untuk membeli juara bertahan Premier League itu.

Seperti diberitakan sebelumnya, Otoritas Singapore Stock Exchange memang telah mengizinkan kepada United untuk menjual sahamnya. Ini membuat Setan Merah diperbolehkan untuk melakukan negosiasi dengan investor lain.

Praktis, muncul sebuah berita mengenai Perdana Menteri Qatar heikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, yang diberitakan telah berada di London, untuk melakukan negosiasi dengan juara 19 kali Premier League itu.

Tapi Sheikh Hamad, yang juga pemilik saham QIA, menegaskan tidak memiliki keinginan untuk membeli klub asal Premier League itu. "Berita itu tidak benar," tegas Sheikh Hamad dalam wawancara dengan tv Al Jazeera, Selasa (27/9/2011).

"Beberapa pekan lalu, kami sudah mengumumkan belum melakukan negosiasi. Banyak orang yang membicarakan Qatar akan membeli ini, dan itu," sambung pria yang juga PM Qatar tersebut.

Sementara itu, United memang belum merilis berapa jumlah saham yang akan dijual oleh keluarga Glazers. Namun, penguasaha asal Amerika diberitakan hanya menjual sekira 25 persen saham mereka di klub.

United eye share potential
Soccernet, Harry Harris - October 9, 2011



Manchester United chief executive David Gill has spoken for the first time about the "potential" in floating shares on the Singapore Stock Exchange with the Glazers seemingly now valuing the club at a staggering £2.57 billion.


The Glazers paid £790 million to buy Manchester United - although the final bill amounted to £850 million including the legal and advisory costs - and they recently rejected offers of £1.5 billion from China and Qatar as, it is now clear, they fell well short of their valuation.

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/1009/davidgillavramglazer20100321_275x155.jpg
David Gill (L) has spoken for the first time about the potential first sale of stock at Manchester United

The Glazers are seemingly planning to float 25% of Manchester United on the Singapore Stock Exchange at a value of $1 billion (£643 million), which would value Manchester United at £2.57 billion. If the shares are sold, they could carry voting powers of only 12%, which would fall well below the 25% threshold that allows shareholders to contest decision-making.

"It's a potential," Gill told the Sunday Telegraph. "I think the finances of the club are in robust health in terms of the bond interest against the EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] that we do have, so in that respect I am not concerned.

"But it was an opportunity, and is a potential opportunity, to strengthen them even further. If the proceeds were by and large used to pay down the bond debt then that would take some of the interest costs out."

The Glazers' advisory team - including Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Credit Suisse - will inform the owners when the time is right to press ahead with the plans and, given the parlous state of the global economy at present, it appears they will have to wait.

"It is not officially on hold but the owners will be taking appropriate advice from the advisors and determining what the markets are telling us," Gill added. "But I don't think it's the level of the market - it is the sheer volatility. That's the challenge."

Although United recently posted an operating profit of £110.9 million for the past financial year, paying down the bond debt would free up greater funds for investment into the squad. Gill, though, denies Sir Alex Ferguson has been significantly hindered.

"It [the debt] hasn't been a problem," Gill, who was in Senegal to support a UNICEF initiative, said. "There have been a lot of comments and a lot of criticism. On the one hand, you argue clearly our interest costs have gone up now as a limited company, but it is not 45 to 0 because as a listed company we had corporation tax payments, we had dividend payments.

"The owners have never been anything other than 100% supportive on delivering to Alex or me the players we need to keep ourselves going, but people don't believe us.

"If you look at it, we are spending £13 million revamping Carrington [the training ground] and we have just completed this summer at Old Trafford our box redevelopment. There has never been any money that we have needed to develop the club that hasn't come forward."

wuitsss......beli tanah baru nih buat pengembangan bisnis

http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/business/s/1461258_manchester-united-pays-82m-for-land-around-old-trafford-stadium

Manchester United pays £8.2m for land around Old Trafford stadium

It has bought the property from investment and development company SEGRO, which is landlord to more than 110 businesses in Trafford Park.

The deal includes Trafford Gateway, a one-acre parcel of land directly opposite the stadium; Three Wharfside, a 177,000 sq ft industrial warehouse currently leased to AKW Group, and Canalside, an estate of seven industrial units behind Three Wharfside.

A club spokesman said there were no immediate plans to redevelop the newly acquired land.

They said: “The stadium is an iconic asset for the club and we feel it is beneficial to invest in the surrounding area.

“If more land becomes available we will assess whether it suits our purposes.”

Manchester United chief operating officer Michael Bolingbroke said: “We are delighted to have completed these purchases from SEGRO to further consolidate our ownership of land and buildings around the stadium.”

David Bridges, SEGRO’s national markets business director, said: “We are delighted to have concluded this deal with Manchester United.

“The sale has been beneficial to both parties – for SEGRO the disposal of these relatively small individual units allows us to concentrate on retained assets at Trafford Park, whilst giving Manchester United greater access to more property and land around its stadium.”

CBRE advised SEGRO and DTZ advised Manchester United.

Gross Debt United turun , tapi Net Debt United tetap stagnan atau mungkin berkurang (gw agak lupa). Deal sponsorship dng DHL memang mempengaruhi penambahan omset , sementara turunnya Net Debt diakibatkan pembelian 3 pemain di bursa transfer 2011 , pembayaran bunga + cicilan , dan juga pembelian lahan + gedung di trafford park .

Ini komentar GIll tentang Financial Fairplay yg ternyata regulasinya masih belum jelas.. Apa hukuman tegas bagi yg td memenuhi dll, termasuk jelasin bahwa pengelolaan strutur keuangan dlm klub berjalan sesuai harapan sejauh ini..

"Saya belum berpikir, laporan resmi datang dari UEFA,"

"Saya rasa UEFA, seperti yang saya rasa sedang melihat sanksi apa yang akan mereka terapkan dalam hubungannya dengan FFP. Saya pikir, mereka akan memutuskannya dan mengkomunikasikannya pada paruh pertama musim 2012,"

David Gill yakin, bisnis yang sudah dijalankan Man United sejak 1991, termasuk mengelola struktur keuangan yang bermanfaat untuk memenuhi tuntutan FFP, namun masih bisa bersaing mendapatkan pemain terbaik dunia dan sanggup membayar gaji mereka.

"Kami memiliki kebijakan di mana kami tidak akan menghabiskan dana lebih dari 50 persen total upah pendapatan kami. Jika kami melakukan itu, kami masih percaya ukuran dari pemasukan tersebut memungkinkan kami mempertahankan dan membayar upah beberapa pemain terbaik dunia,"

"Sekarang, klub lain perlu menentukan model mereka sendiri. Apakah FFP yang mereka lakukan itu memiliki syarat (keuangan) klub yang impas. Jadi berdasarkan definisi, seharusnya mereka memiliki kontrol atas upah pemain, biaya transfer dan amortisasinya."

"Jadi, saya pikir, apa yang Michel Platini lakukan dengan FFP merupakan langkah berikutnya dalam mencoba beberapa kedisiplinan dalam hal keuangan,"

Manchester United owners delay plans to raise £600 million

The Glazer family’s plans to raise 600 million pounds from a partial flotation of Manchester United on the Singapore Stock Exchange could be delayed until midway through next year because of the continuing volatility of global financial markets.

Although the Glazers were given the green light by the SSE to launch the sale of up to 30 per cent of their United stakeholding with an Initial Public Offering in August, the float was placed on hold in September with market conditions not deemed to be favourable because of the financial crisis in the Eurozone and a lack of major investors signing up to the listing.

United’s group stage exit from the Champions League, which has left the club in the less lucrative Europa League, is also understood to be an issue which could deter investors, with the surprise inability to reach the knockout stages highlighting the fine line between success and failure on the pitch, The Telegraph reports.

United’s American owners had been determined to launch the IPO before the end of 2011, but while market analysts predict that the Singapore market will not be badly affected by economic uncertainties in 2012, the likelihood of the float being initiated early in the new year is understood to be dependent on an upturn in the markets.

The Glazers informed the SSE that some of the proceeds of the flotation will go towards reducing United’s debt, which stand at 433 million pounds.

During his 25 years at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has broken plenty of transfer records.

Over the 25 years, Ferguson has as spent £508million on 101 players.

But the first £250,000 was handed over at a tribunal to land Arsenal defender Viv Anderson in the summer of 1987.

MU Ikat Kerja Sama dengan Globul

Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: Operator seluler terbesar nomor dua di Bulgaria, Globul, yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan Yunani, OTE, telah mengikat kerja sama tiga tahun dengan klub Inggris, Manchester United.

"Di bawah kesepakatan ini, Globul akan menawarkan akses kepada berita-berita eksklusif Manchester United, wawancara, fitur-fitur khusus, dan konten-konten lain melalui jaringan seluler pada para penggemar klub di Bulgaria," demikian pernyataan Globul.

"Selain itu, Globul dan Manchester United akan bergabung untuk mengembangkan situs mikro promosional dalam bahasa Bulgaria dan Inggris, yang dirancang khusus untuk pendukung-pendukung lokal." Rincian keuangan mengenai kesepakatan ini tidak diumumkan.

CSKA Sofia yang merupakan klub Bulgaria tersukses dengan 31 gelar liga, juga disponsori Globul.

Penyerang United yang berasal dari Bulgaria, Dimitar Berbatov, bermain di CSKA antara tahun 1998 sampai 2001, sedangkan Tim Setan Merah merupakan klub asing paling populer di Bulgaria.(Ant/DSY)

Ini kabar terakhir tentang kondisi keuangan klub nih...
Artikel aslinya ada di telegraph, cuma alhamdulillahnya udah diartiin sama fanpage sebelah :P

Manchester United telah mengumumkan kenaikan pendapatan yang besar dan pengurangan utang secara keseluruhan dalam enam bulan terakhir tahun 2011.

Pendapatan United meningkat menjadi £175 million dari £156.5 million pada tahun 2010 pada periode yang sama.

Sebagian besar pendapatan mengalami peningkatan dari pendapatan 'matchday', yaitu naik dari £52.4 million menjadi £54,5 million, pendapatan media, meningkat dari £53.7 million sampai £60.9 million, dan pendapatan komersial meningkat menjadi £58.6 million dari £50,4 million.

Hutang yang dimiliki keluarga Glazer juga turun dari i £508 million menjadi £439 million. Sebuah pembelian kembali obligasi, dijual sebagai bagian dari operasi refinancing sebesar £500 million dua tahun lalu, membantu menurunkan angka utang terbaru.

Namun, total biaya operasional - meningkat dari £96.9 million sampai £110.8 million dan modal bersih belanja pemain - naik dari £11,7 million menjadi £47.9 million.

Kenaikan yang terakhir ini disebabkan oleh pengeluaran musim panas pada pembelian pemain David de Gea, Ashley Young dan Phil Jones.

Angka lain menunjukkan keseimbangan bank sebesar £50.9 million dan peningkatan sebesar £10.4 million pada pengeluaran modal umum, terutama karena adanya perbaikan daerah perhotelan.

Tanpa pendapatan yang menguntungkan dari keikutsertaan di Champions League membuat United diperkirakan akan mengalami penurunan pendapatan selama enam bulan ke depan.

Turk Telekom telah dinobatkan menjadi merek terbaik Turki untuk tiga tahun terakhir, dan akan bekerjasama dengan Setan Merah di hak penggunaan nama di telepon genggam, nama permainan, dan proyek media sosial.

Selain itu, sejumlah pemain United juga akan tampil di iklan Turk Telekom, dan pembangunan sekolah sepakbola bagi pemain muda Turki.

Masih kayaknya sih banyak sponsor United di bidang telekomunikasi, Om. Salah satu kebijakan finansial United klo nggak salah cari sponsor berdasarkan regional. Aku rasa itu diimplementasikan di perusahaan telekomunikasi ini.

Jadi United nyari perusahaan telekomunikasi yang mau sponsori mereka dengan timbal balik perusahaan itu dapet hak ekslusif konten2 United TAPI hanya di wilayah2 tertentu aja. Jadi 3 untuk wilayah Indonesia (dan mungkin sekitarnya), Bulgaria mungkin eropa timur, trus ada juga India, Timur Tengah, Afrika juga. Semua perusahaan telekomunikasi tapi dapet akses regional juga. Beda sama sponsor utama seperti AON dan DHL yang global.

Jadi...klo mau telkomsel jadi sponsor United ya nunggu kontrak ma 3 abis dulu. Setahuku gitu...

4. Turk Telekom - Turki
5. AIRTEL Africa - Burkina Faso, Chad, Rep. Congo, Gabon, Kenya
6. Beeline - Vietnam, Canbodia, Laos

11. AIRTEL - India, Sri Langka, Seychelles, Bangladesh
12. Zong - Pakistan
13. Globul - Bulgaria
14. STC - Saudi Arabia

Manchester United Said to Revisit Plans for 2012 Singapore Initial Offer
By Joyce Koh, Fox Hu and Zijing Wu (bloomberg.com) - Mar 9, 2012

Manchester United Ltd (MNU)., the record 19-time English soccer champion, is revisiting plans for an initial public offering in Singapore as stock markets recover, said five people with knowledge of the matter.

United and its bankers restarted discussions about 10 days ago, said one of the people, who requested anonymity because the deliberations are private. The IPO may take place this year, two people said.

The soccer club received the Singapore stock exchange’s approval in September to raise about $1 billion in an IPO, people with knowledge of the matter said at the time. The process then stalled as volatile stock markets made equity sales more difficult to pull off, bankers said.

United will have to file new financial statements to the Singapore bourse should it opt to proceed with the IPO, the people said. The company may still pick Hong Kong over Singapore for the offering, according to one person.

Singapore’s benchmark Straits Times Index has gained 12 percent since Dec. 31 after tumbling 17 percent in 2011, the biggest annual decline in three years. The city-state hasn’t had any IPOs of more than $100 million since October, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

United hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Morgan Stanley (MS) as bookrunners for the IPO together with Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN), people with knowledge of the matter said last year. Philip Townsend, a spokesman for the club, declined to comment.

The soccer club’s pretax profit in the year ended June 30 was 29.7 million pounds ($46.9 million), compared with a loss of 15 million pounds the year before. It’s the second time in six years that the club has been profitable. United’s U.S. owners, the Glazer family, bought the team in 2005 for 790 million pounds.

United’s Chief Executive Officer David Gill in October told the Sunday Telegraph that the potential share sale would be “beneficial.”

The club lost the first leg of its Europa League knock out game to Spain’s Athletic Bilbao 3-2 at Old Trafford last night. It will need to win the return in Spain to stand a chance of making the quarterfinals.

United is playing in Europe’s second-tier competition after being eliminated from the Champions League in the group stages for only the third time in 17 years. Last season it broke Liverpool’s record of 18 English championships.

Manchester United could struggle to compete with City in summer transfer market ahead of autumn share flotation
Plans by the Glazer family to launch a partial flotation of Manchester United in the Far East could be on hold until the autumn, a delay which will potentially restrict the club’s ability to compete at the top end of the transfer market this summer.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02176/glazers_2176248b.jpg

The Glazers, United's American owners, had hoped to raise £600 million from the Initial Public Offering (IPO) when the Singapore Stock Exchange authorised the launch of the sale of up to 30 per cent of the family’s stakeholding last August.

But the IPO was placed on hold a month later due to unfavourable market conditions sparked by the financial crisis in the Eurozone. A lack of major investors signing up to the listing was also a factor in the Glazers’ decision to postpone the float.

The flotation plan, which is designed to dramatically reduce United’s £439 million debt and annual interest payments of approximately £45 million, remains in place, but sources close to the proposals concede that early autumn appears the earliest suitable window for the IPO to launch.

With the Singapore Stock Exchange generating little business so far this year, there have been unconfirmed reports in the Far East that the IPO could be moved to the more robust Hong Kong market.

United are expected to tour the Far East in late July, but a float at that time is unlikely due to financial trading being traditionally slow in the summer months. The tour could, however, be used as a publicity generator for an autumn launch.

An inability to float before the autumn would deny the Glazers the opportunity to generate new funds with which to increase Sir Alex Ferguson’s transfer budget, however.

The reduction, or clearing, of United’s debt would boost their ability to compete in the transfer market with Manchester City, who are funded by Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan.

While United have made it clear they remain committed to sensible financial practice in terms of player salaries and transfer fees, the emergence of City and the spending power of the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and the Qatari-owned Paris St Germain has left the Old Trafford club facing a challenge to compete at the top end of the market while the debt and interest payments remain.

Seharusnya Bill Gates dan Warren Buffet patungan membeli saham United dari keluarga Glazer.

Mungkin Bill Gates dan Warren Buffet tidak terlalu suka sepakbola sehingga mereka kurang minat dan lebih memilih aktif di bidang sosial :)

Sebenarnya kalau tidak salah banyak yang tertarik menjadi pemilik United (terutama dari kawasan Asia dan Timur Tengah) dan mereka memang mencintai United serta tidak semata untuk mendapatkan keuntungan finansial, namun keluarga Glazer bersikukuh tidak mau menjual saham United yang mereka kuasai :(

Selama ini kita semua fans United di seluruh dunia selalu memprotes kepemilikan Glazer atas Manchester United namun kita kok tidak pernah mempertanyakan bagaimana Glazer dulu bisa menjadi pemilik saham mayoritas ya ? Sebenarnya menurut saya pribadi patut disalahkan juga pemegang saham sebelum Glazer yang kemudian memutuskan menjual kepemilikan sahamnya ke keluarga Glazer.Logikanya kalau mereka tidak menjual pasti Glazer tidak akan membeli donk, hehehe...

Btw, United masih merugi yach tahun ini ?

Klo mo ditarik lebih jauh lagi ya tanyakan ke Martin Edwards kenapa awal tahun 90' an jadiin United perusahaan terbuka. Karena hal itu kepemilikan United terbagi ke banyak orang yang tidak semua pendukung dan peduli ma United alias murni perbisnis macam glazer.

Masalah rugi, musim lalu United untung lho... coba di cek di andersred

http://andersred.blogspot.com/2011/09/manchester-uniteds-q4-and-full-year.html

Musim ini blom tau rugi apa nggak, hanya poin-poin penting bisa dijadiin dasar kira2 bakal rugi apa nggak.

Poin ( + ) :
1. Deal training kit sponsor ma DHL senilai sekitar 10jt pound setahun selama 4 tahun.
2. Beberapa sponsor baru seperti dibidang telekomunikasi (jumlah nggak tau tapi biasanya sih nggak terlalu besar meski tetep aja lumayan nambah).
3. Penjualan Gibbo dan Ravel (meski kecil nilainnya).

Poin ( - ) :
1. Satu yang pasti adalah tersingkir di fase grup UCL dan bahkan di babak II fase knock off UL pasti merugikan dari sisi finansial.
2. Pembelian Young, Jones, dan De Gea yang klo di total jadi sekitar 50jt pound (nggak sebanyak itu yang jadi biaya coz seharusnya dikapitalisasi selama masa kontrak :soktau:).

Yang aku inget itu dan mungkin ada faktor laennya. Yang ditunggu sekarang masalah penjualan 30% saham United. Jadi apa nggak? coz sedikit banyak berkaitan ma "otot" United di bursa transfer musim depan.
