However, accepting the Glazer offer gives me a sense of loss. It would have been nice if the existing management team at Manchester United could have trumped Glazer's ambitious plans so that it wasn't worth us shareholders accepting what was not such a massive premium to the share price. In other words, if Glazer can squeeze all this extra value out of Man Utd, why couldn't the old management team? I would have liked to hold Man U for the long term. Now I can't. Ah, say the doomsters, Glazer will just lard the club up with debt; he doesn't understand it; it's a huge risk. Well, all that is true, and it could end in the virtual destruction of the Club, a national institution and one of Great Britain's few global brands.
