I'm Carlisle Utd Fan and he ruined our club to almost the point of extinction. First couple of seasons were great. But then it all came to light he didn't really have the money. He ended up selling one of our best players for a quid. He built a stand that wasn't even in line with the pitch. He would ruin Man Utd.
Remember he even played himself for Carlisle.
he would do ok , they cant get any worse surely
@@yatesy117 hahahaha oh we will be back 😂😂😂cant wait to see people like you cry its going to be beautiful 😹😹😹😹
@@yatesy117 you can see the terror united caused you 😂😂😂it must be horrible knowing that will be back😹😹
You’re also forgetting its a consortium, hes got together a group of bidders, its not just him
If Jim Ratcliffe is involved then why would he need Michael Knighton. If Michael Knighton has the money then why would he need Ratcliffe? Knighton does not have the money
Well it’s not knighton buying the club it’s the consortium he put together he just the face of the consortium he wants jim to take his place as the face
@@chaisesamargis3149 the issue is Jim said he's not going to be involved in a hostile bid.....
Michael Knighton already said if Jim Ratcliffe came in then he wouldn't be needed. But by getting him in, his job would be done. (He's a United fan).
U could have said the same thing about Amanda (forgot her surname) with the Saudis about the Newcastle takeover. Connections mean compensation, Michael knighton has those connections having previously worked for the club. You lot obviously have 0 knowledge about what youre talking about
United fans don't want to spend other people's money, they want to spend their own money. The club, without the debt the Glaziers put on it, is entirely self sufficient.
Not a single penny goes into United that isn't revenue from the business itself. What are you chatting about Simon.
NAIL ON THE HEAD
Put up or shut up!
Hahah what a clown
Where’s the fans getting 5 billion to invest without getting ANYTHING back
Stick in at school kid
the club hasn’t stopped being self sufficient even with the debt.. this is such a lazy point
@@marcelohendrix6139 ha but your dealing with 20 somethings and generally people who have zero financial IQ
Simon gets alot of stick, but I think he is spot on in most things he says. When it comes to explaining the financial side to the listeners, he does a great job. The Glazers are not going anywhere unless a hardcore billionaire Man Utd fan comes along, or an Abrahmovich type figure, or another middle eastern group who use the acquisition of a club as a sportswashing tactic.
The Glazers are here to stay. Simple as that.
I am a Man U fan - the Glazers will only sell when they are no longer prospering from the profits of Man Utd. Regardless of how bad Man U are on the pitch, they still make these reptiles money
I think they will sell it to the right buyer. A buyer who is willing to pay £ 5 - £ 7 Billion.
Why does every Middle Eastern group's investment have to be "sportswashing"? You hate these people or something? Why not lash out at British billionaires who would rather sit on money or buy islands in the Caribbean to get away from their own country? Those who do not try to own PL clubs? Invest in the UK's largest export? Eh?
You are sick.
@@SantomPh 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cry me a river
@@SantomPh Because the middle eastern owners still use slaves.
@@SantomPh because it is sportswashing.....do you not have the power of research? Can you not educate yourself or do you need everything explaining to you?
When I first started listening to Simon Jordan I couldn’t stand him… now he’s the only 1 I listen too 😂
Only 2 clubs owners have taken dividends from their clubs as owners since 2015/16 seasons, Man UTD every year and West Brom in 2015/16. Literally one current EPL club does and has in recent history. FtheGlazers.
😂😂this comment makes no sense, its a business ffs thats reality
@@russellkwaramba8433 then why are no other clubs doing it???.....the answer is because all the other clubs have investors capable of living from their own pockets......the glazers never invest their own money into the club but are always so quick to take money out....it gets annoying
@@russellkwaramba8433 Other club owner's don't take money out so pointless opinion..
@@Rain.and.petals why would they invest their own money when the club is self sufficient. that’s the dumbest thing ever
What is meant by "hostile bid?" Angry scribbling on the signatures page?
the term is being used incorrectly. What would happen is a qualified buying party making an acceptable offer, $4B for example, and the glazers saying no. The "hostile" pressure that would come from fans, the footballing world, etc.. would be ridiculous. You'd have riots. They can't neglect the club and refuse to sell, the pressure would be crazy
not exactly sure why theyre using it here, as the glazers are the shareholders and they are the directors/board of the club (some of, but the rest are just people theyve hired). Hostile takeover as a technical term of taking control of a company by approaching the shareholders to buy when the board/people running the club are not involved and dont want a change in ownership. Not what this is, michael knighton seemed to think it was making an offer when the club wasnt for sale, which is sort of on the right lines but not really
In simple terms, if shareholders of the club are dissatisfied with its current state, they can sell their stake to new owners against the wishes of the current owners.
Unless there's a board of directors at Man United, who are willing to throw the Glazers out for the welfare of the club, the term is incorrectly being used here.
If you approach Shareholders & knock their socks off w/ a crazy Over- Valuated Bid - the Board MUST sell - it's illegal Not to b/c they have a fiduciary responsibility to Increase the Value of the Stock / Corporation...... This is why it's called Hostile - b/c you basically force the shareholders into a sale & then you take over & do whatever t/f you want
@@jackzeldon2883 They have a fiduciary responsibility. I agree with you on that, but often boards won't just jump at any crazy offer that comes their way unless they trust the process, the management and the future vision for the company. Crazy bids won't work most times if they seem financially irresponsible or hint at an ulterior motive that is bad for the company - like assimilating one for a particular reason only to downsize workforce or dissolve departments.
That's where proxy fights come into the picture. I wonder how any of this applies to United under the current ownership. If it had to happen, it would have happened by now.
Say what you want about Knighton but he’s up their with Lawro on the kick ups😆
What Simon is missing is that all the senior management is down to the Glazers . Woodward was a Glazer appointment . Need i say more ???
Yeah Simon missed the point. His argument is a new owner won't be better because they'll also want a return for their investment, but THAT IS NOT THE POINT. Spending money isn't the only responsibility of an owner, it's also hiring competent people for the job positions in the company. If a new owner does that then they will immediately be better than the Glaziers.
Enjoy Simon while he is still here.. he speaks more logic than the rest put together minus one or two maybe… he gives you life and business advice not just sport!!
He's a Walter Mitty character. There are people 'with the money' who might be interested in buying the club. He's not one of them, nor with his reputation would they be interested in going in with him. He's a fantasist.
Well if he is or isnt a fantasist, if he puts an offer down with the other 55% he's a controlling stake .
@@basic3496 everyone has heard it all before from this man. It isn't going to happen. There are people out there who might be interested in the club - people who can actually put their money where their mouth is. Fans should be encouraging interest from them not pinning hopes on this Walter Mitty character.
@@richardjones8699 ahh well sounds like he is a big IF, but there maybe some buyer, as Manchester United is not that attractive financially. The clubs worth 5-6billion to buy, then fix every issue £1Billion. ROI for the majority buyers is not that great & will take 10-15 years to see any good returns.
@@basic3496 it's still one of the biggest clubs in the world. With the right owner it could quite easily become successful again and hugely profitable. And I'm not sure about 5-6 billion. I'd say more like 4-4.5 billion (wasn't it 4.65billion dollars last year?)
Michael Knighton....A shadowy flight into the world of a man who does not exist.
Lol 👍👏👏
😅😅😅😅. Brilliant. That really takes me back.
I'm so glad to be old enough to get the reference. 😊
Glad I’m not the only one who thought of this 😂✌🏽
Michael Knighton, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
I keep coming here to improve my English as a German, as Simon is quite impressive at rhetorics :)
But so are Germans. Or maybe that's Austrians....😁🤣
he's got that privileged Tory Vocab - but what he actually says about Club Finance is often very wrong - that's why he put Palace in Admin & Bankrupted himself.... Very likable personality - I quite enjoy him.....
@@jackzeldon2883 there’s nothing wrong with anyone having a good vocabulary. I went to a secondary modern and was brought up in a working class area, but I believe that I had a good education and have a wide vocabulary.
Rhetoric, uncountable noun.
@@keithbentley6081 Im not a native speaker
Knighton is just sounding out the soundbytes that the majority of Man Utd fans want to hear! If Sir. Jim Ratcliffe was at all interested in purchasing United (after all he is a United fan too) he'd have surely placed a bid by now! The bottom line is, I'll belive it, when I see it!
It's funny, does anyone remember the Glazer protests when United were winning things?! Must've mean't when we were winning things, fans accepted the money leaving the club, and the debt saddled to United.
Good point....though i don't think Jim gets involved unless the glazers officially put the club up for sale .....i read that Jim will not get involved in a hostile bid
There was plenty of protests while United were winning things
The fans were changed Malcolm glazers gonna die in 2011
Simon is spot on. seriously no one would buy football club to lose $ and spend $ on it like if its your hobby. Every investor wants ROI. However the key here is besides the commercial part of it, the owners have to run the club successfully on the football side. i.e. employing the right footballing people, making footballing decisions. This is where Glazers have failed miserably.
I’m not a Utd or Liverpool fan, but if you look at FSG then they will make their ROI when they sell the club for several billion quid. Given they only paid about £300m for it that’s where the money will be made.
Likely be the same with the Glazers if/when they ever sell up, probably take about £5bn, which isn’t a bad return compared to how little it took to get the club in 2005.
even though glazers are clueless in issues in the pitch, but their marketing is sensational off the pitch. this is the reason why they are still able to get superstars whether players or managers. they just need to hire the right people, it seems they are working on it. Kroenke were the same as them, but now they hired ex players and arsenal fans are enjoying it. usmanov who Many wanted him to buy the club are realizing that he is leading everton to bankruptcy process.

Eat Sleep Clobber Repeat. LFC Spectre and Simon Jordan = Top LADS Proper Clobber
@@sammybeck4855 My fellow Clobber supporting the cause ✊
Have I gone back in time or something cant wait to see him on the pitch again with the ball
Simon is so right about for the right check everything is for sale.... which is so bizarre why the the glazers wont name a price. It's baffling that the club is declining now year on year, and they're sat there silent about the price. Chelsea had 100 interested buying parties.
they have it's 6 billion of course this was before chelsea was sold. No one wants to pay so they won't sell.
They won't sell because it's a money making business. If you were the owner of a business and it's make loads of money....why would you sell/. Despite the return on the pitch, as Jordan points out Manchester United FC is one of the top 3 or 4 valuable clubs on the planet. They have no reason to name a price, nor sell.
@@trevg9450 If they don't win anything in the next decade then they become worth very little because a large portion of fans these days are glory hunters and not winning only keeps loyalty for a short time from the glory Hunter's.
As long as they make money they won't sell
@@jacksonbow2766 Yeah but as you point out, that will take 10 years which is to my point. The owners aren't going anywhere anytime soon. So the protest should just be taken for what they are...a way for fans to express frustration, not as a way of moving the needle to remove the owners.
The glazers have not paid for Man Utd. The loaded the debt of their loan on the club. Investment is a strange thing to say when talking about the Glazers. They have invested NOTHING. The money spent on players is club revenue not Glazers own money from their pockets. People need to do their research properly.
how can the glazers just be like every other owner when their ownership model is literally outlawed for other clubs?
Simon is spot on here
Simon had £100,000,000 at 31 years old 😳
The reality is man utd is just to expensive for most business men . Glazer's are going nowhere unfortunately..
He sounds like Simba's father from Lion King🤣🤣🤣
I now believe that they may be a chance that this ‘Consortium’ which is headed by Knighton is serious. The fans should keep the pressure in the Glazers and stop buying stuff from the Superstore and keep peacefully protesting.
Those green & yellow shirts should make a comeback.
Very undestimated what knighten did for Manchester United. He joined the board and did a very good job. Also the glazers didn't pay for Manchester United.
The glazers bought the club with 200 million liquid pounds money , Knighton never ever has had, initial purchase price was circa 800 m, debt of 600 million , cash from glazers 200 m , various refinances have since occurred leveraging the debt and a sale of shares benefiting the glazers, key is glazers have 63 per cent of the voting shares so they control the destiny of the club and I day will sell to realise the latent value. McManus and mangier made more of killing on their short term minority interest tipped off by we know who nobody mentions that though.
If you buy a house with a mortgage did you pay for it?
@@MrPhilysis1 Glazer's are broke too they couldn't afford the club hence why they hired experts to tell them how and they took loans from a bank to do it
@@charleswebster830 every lender needs skin in the game aka a deposit , glazers Also did the same when they bought the club, as the club value rose with strong revenue growth they remortgaged like it or not most property owners do this , to generate future wealth.
@@user-tt6kl6nb1x I would not mind being a pound behind them. They paid 2oo million cash ie putting their skin in to the game to buy the club , they ain’t broke Don’t forget old man glazer died leaving then a huge inheritance to the boys . And they have plenty of assets in USA to sell should they wish. Summary, they are loaded
THE PROBLEM IS GLAZER ONLY TAKE RETURN ON INVESTMENT BUT THEY INFACT NEVER INVESTED ANYTHING IN CLUB APART FROM GIVING DEBT TO THE CLUB
@@shaun8141 That's not the Glazers money, that's money Man Utd generates. They generate an enormous amount. They've had to pay off interest loans to banks and dividends to their owners both of which are the highest in sports history taken out of a team.
The Glazers have taken £1.5-£2bn out of United.
These are the undisputed facts.
Now imagine Manchester United having that £1.5-£2bn more in the transfer market over the last 17 years.
@@shaun8141 then imagine that £900m topped up by that billion and half or 2 billion
That's almost £3bn United could of spent instead of the £1bn.
If the Glazers sell United, they'd be back dominating football.
@@reecemesser I reckon that would have got wasted aswell! The poor management of Man U is the main issue.
@@shaun8141 that was club generated money ....they've never dug into their own pockets to give back to the club.....united makes alot of money and is self sufficient...but instead of investing that money well, all the glazers do is take it out
Here we go again
He is a good narrator.
True the glazer brought the team been smart of using their brains on using a method non using own money. But by using the borrowed many from unknown banks of purchasing the football not an American football team
I am a united fan and i think simon talks a lot of sense. Fans need to be realistic, and the owners are just a scapegoat for these players and recruitment departments but the glazers have released funds as much as possible from the last 10 years
No they are at fault, if you hire someone to do a job and the person isn't doing well and you keep him in a job the failure becomes your fault
are you dense wtf ,who hires these players and recruitment departments ? so you have consistently recruited wrong for 10 years and you wouldn't revamp your organization lol .glazers are clearly incompetent in terms of football
Glazers are slumlandlords if you invested 1000 in utd when they went on the stock market its now worth 700 . So there crap commercially as well . Club Value down , they bought the biggest sports club in the world in 2000s not in the top 5 now . share price down , debt up ... glazers are 100 % to blame . Poor leadership .greed and fuckin arrogance
Lol, they've taken out £1billion to service their debt and pay themselves dividends in last decade
Releases funds lol they haven’t put a dime into the club they only take dividends this the glazers haven’t bought anything the only reason utd haven’t fallen is because there self sustained the club brings atleast over 200 mill not the glazers but now the club is falling sponsors backing out the glazers take atleast 20 to 30 plus mill a year in dividends but they can’t do tht now because there’s no money thts why they only took out 11 mill in dividends this year
As a United fan I'm fine with the club being run as a business since it is one. Just please hire intelligent football people to make decisions on player transfers, it's that simple. Woodward and Arnold and Murtough are just complete bozos.
You know it’s not about brain. It’s more about putting money in when the right player come through
Football clubs should be leaft as football clubs not businesss
@@liamgallagher9803 that’s not the world we live in. The top European league’s clubs are all ran as businesses.
@@blackrider7631 you don’t know football name me a top European club that’s run as a business Bayern not Dortmund not PSG definitely not Man City definitely not Liverpool not Real Madrid and Barca not just bad financial dicisons Ajax not so all the top European clubs are run as football clubs unlike what your saying u 🤡
A new owner doesn't need to spend lots of their own money
United aren't an artificially rich club like Man City or Newcastle who depend on the owners to bankroll them.
United have massive revenues, the club funds itself
City are self sufficient now, after 10+ years of investment. As opposed to Stretford who are having money taken out by the owners. Bottom line is the FA should look at how these clubs are ran and set out workable rules. Wage caps, better loan rules, removal of buyback clauses, leverage deals etc.. Don’t get fixated on them vs us, it’s bigger than that... Just look at what a mess Barca are in, I’d rather have a club ran by the glazers than selling tv and merchandise rights for years to come...
I'm surprised some shady businessman hasn't tried to buy Brazil fc yet haha imagine how much international teams would be worth. That 90s-00s Brazil team
I hope so
Manu have spent more than any other PL club if anyone needs to go its the scouts and the people who sign the players
Yes an who got these people in an continue to employ them THE GLAZERS
“Glazers want a return on their investment”. What investment? They haven’t paid a penny for the club.
You have NO clue what “investment” means.
@@stugotz986

@@stugotz986 Glazers put up zero of their own cash to ‘buy’ Utd. They shifted the debt onto the club, they paid ZERO.

Problem is the players don’t execute the plan. They don’t want to, don’t understand or there not capable yet. Tell me.

Simon Jordan - The Bottle Line Is.......
United suck. That’s the bottom line because Stone Cold said so
Great Simon!
If you didn't know that was Michael Knighton, you would think that it was Stephen Fry speaking.
does he come with KITTon?
One again Simon is 200% correct, so impressive with his analysis as usual.!!!!
Man Utd are a PLC so why don't all these fans just band together and gather up the money and buy ut themselves. All these billions of fans they have should be able to do it fairly easy.
Is it a Scottish thing or something, but Alan Brazil and Jim White relentlessly talk over their co-hosts.
Chelsea is in 2.5 debt. Club was bought with bank loan. Funny, Barca with 1.3 has problem and Chelsea with 2.5 not. Might because Barca at least has stadium:)
Imagine Elon Musk take over this club fam
He’d send Maguire to Mars FC, straight away
Would be a dream....i think it would work out well
Simon missed the point. His argument is a new owner won't be better because they'll also want a return for their investment, but THAT IS NOT THE POINT. Spending money isn't the only responsibility of an owner, it's also hiring competent people for the job positions in the company. If a new owner does that then they will immediately be better than the Glaziers.
only one man can save United now...Laurence Bassini
The Glazers are not selling. They can see the rapid rise in football in the United States and elsewhere and they can see the NFL model of salary caps, revenue sharing, player associations, and sustained league membership is in the future.
No, it’s not because this is European football not American. They fucked up with the super league and showed their hand too early. Now the government is on top of them, if there is any hint of another super league or they attempt to Americanise our game in any way, they’ll have their candy asses kicked back to dixie in no time. As soon as as the regulator comes in next year it’s game over for these yanky clowns
Jim Ratcliffe is the richest man in Britain for a reason.
He isn't going to be ripped off, and he won't be sentimental, and his bid for Chelsea was proof of that.
A hostile takeover would be prospective new owners coercing the players to strike, and cause the share value to plummet.
The Chelsea deal is heavily backed by Saudi money…it will take a similar leveraged deal where the owners do not want a ROI to buy Utd..everything is for sale and the Glaziers know that better than most.
He sounds like Robert M axwell.
Knighten has a voice for audible
The best thing you could do is stop going to games , stop watching on the TV they would soon sell if the stadiums are empty
Why would there sell there Golden goose
While i agree that Knighton is far from an ideal owner, and would probably still be damaging to the club. The mantra of ''be careful what you wish for'' is complete nonsense.
Its like saying ''the next guy might be worse'' when discussing whether or not to remove Hitler from power.
Knighton was a joke in 80s & even more so now. Simon is spot on.
I think Michael knight should buy man ure , maybe kit could be his assistant
Cue: Coolest TV theme tune ever.
Knighton isn't one of the investors. He's the face of a consortium looking to buy it.
Did people forget United literally had a bud accepted by Barca back in July and Frenkie refused to agree personal terms? How are we acting like united haven’t done everything to get a deal done? You can’t force a player to sign for you if he doesn’t want to.
Wrong topic champ....
He’s wrong here. The way the Glazers bought the club on debt and transferred 100% of that debt in to club, would not be sanctioned anymore.
this is what happened at Chelsea
@@pauldixon5161 they didn't buy through debt
1:55 to skip White's waffle
This man is probably clowning us 😂
Will he be our Knighton in shining armour?
Shut up
I don’t think Man Utd us worth this 5 billion that Simon is talking about. Social media has a big say is the realistic value of football clubs that potential buyers company’s take into consideration when buying an entity.
I don’t see what Knight Rider has to do with English football but hey if KITT comes as well who am I to argue.
Glaziers should sell (only for £10billion).
Have I gone back in time? Can I start reliving the 80s again.
What a great team United had back then eh, Frank Stapleton up front with Scott McGarvey. 2 FA cups, glory days indeed.
I met Michael knighton collecting he's dole last Wednesday, nice bloke
Simon is wrong, all owners expect financial returns, But the Glazers are ignoring the football side of things which is eventually going to lead to less money for them and the destruction of the club.
If United are worth 4-5bn, the cowboys, Yankees and the like must be worth 10 each….. all much more profitable
Simon talks sense
The Glazers appointed Ed Deadwood, possibly the worst "football" CEO in history who then appointed Arnold, Murtough and Binnion. I don't care if the Glazers continue ownership but these are "sheep" and this atrocious management team have messed up transfer policies, youth development and set a toxic culture for the players and fans (not for the Glazers though).
Knighton has a reported net worth of 5m quid. But he certainly knows how to get on TV occasionally.
Glazers/American Owners parachuted into PL,plot Super League,Project Big Picture.They just gonna go away?😂
He's a charlatan who shouldn't be taken seriously. What kind of consortium would upload a CZcams video on a small fan channel declaring their intent to buy United. Jokers.
This honks of the Spotify owner taking over at Arsenal
Simon says , simon is absolutely 💯 % right
like buying a mid championship team
I like this man. He speaks a lot of sense. Alternatively, I think the Glaziers can have a meeting with the fans and reduce the pressure. I would say we better off with Glaziers than a consortium. Nobody buys a club now as a pet toy. No rich sugar daddy available.
Absolutely Not. They are parasites. How are Utd better off. They haven't put a penny into the club. Bought the club on debt.. millions in debt. Spent a Billion on the wrong players,for shirt selling. Taken 2 billion out of the club. Stadium falling apart Team in total decline. They are not football fans,only interested in revenue from Utd.(Cash Cow) They are terrible for our club.
There's no way he's got a spare 3 billion

It’s not about them making a return most clubs do. it’s the fact they are incapable of running a football club they employ people who know nothing about football. They don’t even know anything about football.
What kind of bs is hostile takeover? Offer to shareholders under the market value?
Man Utd is not for sale, so what’s the point!
I would love to have Simon take this clown apart in a conversation on this topic.
It's going to take a huge bid . Probably 8 bill unfortunately but please help us me get these pigs out !
If the glazers were smart they could off paid their debt off it would of saved the club over 1 billon in bank intrest , enough to build a 90k staduim . If they were smart they'd of brought in a world class d.o.f instead of a banker named Woodward would of saved them around 800m in players and agents fees . If they were smart they'd off bought hotel football before neville would off made them millions. There's not smart there con men .
Saved the club this saved the club that. They are smart. They don't care about saving the club money just increasing their own wealth and they've done that superbly well. The stadium? Why spend money on something they wont see a return from? They'd have them playing in a Tesco car park if they saw profit in it and were allowed.
United are for sale now, where is he ?
Still waiting for hostile bid 😆
Need Mike Ashley on that gig. Hahahaha, horrible Mancs, love it .
Michael knighton has got the money to buy man utd valued at 4.5 billion .glazers have no intention to sell.
He need to go one side
He should hurry up or glazers will stay for longer
But will be go down the pub and buy a round?...
He clearly doesn't have the money, would be nice if he launched a takeover and someone legit comes in to buy, but realistically the Glazers are not leaving
He's got no chance at all zilch
I do ultimately think Jim Ratcliffe will end up buying Manchester United.
Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly worth £20 Billion-ish. Glazers would want £4-5billion. On top of that Old Trafford needs work - or another stadium built. On top of that United need at least £500 million+ spent on players to compete for Top 4.
Why would ANYONE spend between one quarter and one third of their fortune on buying United when there's no guarantee of success?! Ratcliffe is wishful thinking in the extreme. You need a gazilionaire to buy them or an oil-rich Middle Eastern country.
@@johndirom8999 Bear in mind, Manchester United (the club) are more than capable of funding itself, given their enormous worldwide support.

@@johndirom8999 funnily enough you've named the exact reason why he would actually want to buy and invest in the club. Spending that much money on the"right players", therefore constantly competing will then guarantee success. Having a great stadium, training facility/environment, a competent recruiting and medical will also directly result to great success of the club. As the other fellow mentioned, Manchester United are big and popular football club they are always capable to generate funds. By the way I believe united is a worth double what you mentioned.
