RE: Football Is A Business Nothing More Nothing Less

Mmm, yes, and the Glazers are why there was finally a breakaway, owned by the supporters, club: FC United of Manchester. FCUM has had varying fortunes but it keeps on going and now has its own ground in Moston. It's a little while since I have followed them, but I'm still a member and have shares in the club.

I have heard about the supporters and the other club. You would have thought that if the supporters all got together they could have bought the club as the fan club is huge. Maybe not so easy now with the valuation being in the Billions. Glaziers are running the club using club money and I don't think that is right as it cost them nothing.

That would have been a massive undertaking and many fans just want to come and watch football, not become owner-managers.

My friend grew up in Manchester and talks about Matt Busby coming round to his aunt's house to apologise for the behaviour of some of the players. These businesses are a world away from a club embedded in its community.
