Actually, Man U is owned by an American billionaire who made his money in food processing industries.

 


and runs the club with £500m of debt... and thats fair!?


to be fair: The 500 million debt results from the money he paid for the club. That is the irony: He buys ManU with XXX million and these millions are now the debt of ManU.

anyway: It is about time that financial fair play is coming. A club like Dortmund that is actually making money is struggling to keep their players, because other clubs that are losing money want to buy them. And the German league has a very strict policy when it comes to the financials. The English, Spanish and Italian leagues are pretty much broke without any chances to get the money back.

 

*edit* the article you linked seems unlikely. Lewandowski and Hummels will stay in Dortmund. Kagawa will leave, but the whole premier league seems to be after him. Arsenal, chelsea, ManU and Liverpool are the ones I heard rumors about.

Man U make a lot of money every year and the longer they go on the less of a debt they have. Arsenal are also a profitable company. Man City lost £170m. A lot of that is players spending but the FFP will include players wages too. But with deals like allowing a sponsor to rename the stadium for 10 years, who know how much they can afford as they certainly aren't goint to make money like the big clubs.



Hmm, pie.
