Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but no longer are they one of the most successful ones. For too long the Glazers have used the club to enrich themselves, they must go.
The Glazers are gone. Sir Alex Ferguson and Bobby Charlton are the only board members that remain. The new owner of Manchester United is, Myra Kingston. With her on the board is Barry Dederick as chairman, and directors Tegan Lewis, Duncan McTavish, Coleman Caitlin and Garland Fowler. The "Glazers out ownership group" has taken full control of Manchester United. Even with the Glazers gone however, not all is rosy at the club. The Glazers put United in debt and the new ownership group has been forced to inherit that debt. The first move upon taking over the club, Kingston has negotiated a 1B pound loan to consolidate the various debts the club had been saddled with, that loan will be repaid over the next 15 years and repayments will begin immediately. The club have also announced the hiring of young hotshot manager Doyce Kirkland, an American of Scottish descent, to helm the club in the new vision of the future.
The Glazers out ownership group has stated that the club will focus on home grown talent and domestic players. This is an effort which the club states will create a more tight knit club and fanbase. Kirkland has been tasked with clearing the club of overpaid stars that no longer possess the skill or work ethic that should embody this great football club. The task for this season, club chairman Barry Dederick says, is to finish top 6 in the league and put forth a challenge in both the Europa League and FA Cup.
Only time will tell if this new ownership group are saviors or just the next ones to take advantage of the club. One must also question the decision to hire an unproved, 30 year old American. Is this job too big for him?
