The useless crew commonly know as MUST are once again inviting questions that they claim they will table at the next fans forum meeting on the 24th Sept. Ian Stiring claims that if you submit a question via email to him before 5pm on 19th,he will put it forward at the meeting & then get back to you personally with a response. Prior to the Joel Glazer farce meeting Ian & the rest of the useless crew made the very same claim & offered exactly the same. To be clear,prior to the last meeting the most commonly requested question they received was ‘when will the Glazers be fucking off’. When I pointed out to Ian prior to the meeting that he,nor anyone else in the useless crew had the balls to ask it,Ian tried to unsuccessfully call me out on Twitter. The one question Ian & the useless crew didn’t ask was obviously the one that most people wanted an answer to. I urge everyone to contact Ian & the useless crew with questions you want answers too. I guarantee that if you ask about pricing of beverage & snack you will get a response. Lets not forget,Ian & the useless crew wanted patting on the back after the last meeting for securing a cast iron promise from Joel that there would be a ‘meaningful’ fan share scheme in place before the season started. Well where is it then? Feel free to submit questions lads & lasses,i’ll be getting one or two in . Ian & the useless crew are taking requests on info@joinmust.org Also never forget that the useless crew only have circa 4000 members so they are very far from representative of the clubs fan base.

Umbro is a subsidiary of Iconix - an American footwear brand of which the founder has been twice investigated for criminal conspiracy and fraud. One investigation was as recently as 2019.

Iconix Brand Group is the latest company to get out from under the scrutiny of Wall Street.
On Monday, the New York-based brand manager completed its deal to be purchased by Lancer Capital in an all-cash deal for $3.15 a share, which totals $585 million including debt. Iconix, which owns Starter, Candie’s, London Fog, Umbro, Zoo York, Ocean Pacific and other brands, had been exploring strategic alternatives for more than a year before making the deal with Lancer in June.

One of the principals of Lancer is Avram Glazer whose family owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who holds a majority stake in the Manchester United soccer club.
Upon completion of the deal, expected for Wednesday, the shares of common stock of Iconix will be delisted and will cease to trade on the Nasdaq exchange.
Iconix traces its roots to 2005 when Neil Cole, who ran Candie’s, changed business models when he switched the company’s approach from manufacturing goods to owning names and licensing them to others. The approach was successful for a while but after Cole stepped down in 2015, the company found itself the target of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into its accounting. Iconix reached a settlement in the matter and paid a civil penalty of $5.5 million in December 2019.
The company signed 190 license agreements last year, representing $134 million in total minimum royalties.

— Ehsen Shah, chief executive of B-Engaged, specialists in sports marketing, on Ronaldo impact:
"How much is a club making off each shirt? Maybe 10%, if they're lucky. The rest goes to Adidas. Who's the biggest winner here? Probably Adidas.

Shirt sales is a very narrow way of looking at it. CR7 returning to Manchester United massively increases brand equity. That leads to far more lucrative sponsorship opportunities. Naturally Ronaldo will get a bit of a cut as I am sure he has negotiated image rights. But we'll easily make way more than we paid for him in transfer fees and wages. And if he can get us through the group stages in the Champions League that is also a nice chunk of revenue right there.

I agree completely & I'm delighted he's back but given the narrative from the club over the last 3 seasons,don't let anyone think it was a football over commercial decision because it wasn't. There will a training kit/carrington sponsor on the horizon very soon.

@swissramble #LFC owner loan is interest-free, while bank loan is now 1.2%, so #LFC only paid £26m in the last 10 years. This is in stark contrast to #MUFC, where the Glazers’ leveraged buy-out has resulted in £448m net interest payments. United also the only club to pay dividends (£122m).

The scale of those dividends is incredible. This has been vulture capitalism in action since those vampires “bought” the club. I honestly son’t understand how LBOs are either justifiable or in fact legal any more.

More bollocks from the soon departed fool!
Executive vice-chairman Woodward trumpeted the significant strengthening of the United squad in a statement attached to United's financial results for the fourth quarter.
"It has been an exciting start to the season at Old Trafford, with capacity crowds in attendance for the first time in almost 18 months," Woodward said. "We were delighted to welcome back Cristiano Ronaldo to the club, along with Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Tom Heaton, to further reinforce the progress that our first-team has been making under Ole.
"These signings have demonstrated our continued ability to attract some of the world’s best footballers to Old Trafford, and our firm commitment to helping Ole deliver success on the pitch. Furthermore, we recently sold Dan James to Leeds for a fee of £25 million, plus add-ons.
"This was made possible by the strength of our operating model, with sustained investment in the team underpinned by robust commercial revenues.
"Everyone associated with Manchester United can be proud of the resilience we have shown through the challenges created by the pandemic and we look forward to the rest of the season and beyond with great optimism."
