SATU DEKADE setelah sebagian besar pendukung klub menentang pengambilalihan klub sepak bola paling ngetop di dunia, investor asing meraih nilai dua kali lipat dari klub yang mereka kuasai, seperti diungkap MailOnline.
Kombinasi dari Liga Premier dan Liga Champions, ada 27 klub dari 44 (yang 61%) dikuasai asing sepenuhnya atau separuh saham klub, dari 33 investor yang berbeda partai dengan total kepemilikan saham mencapai 69,8 miliar poundsterling.
Dari seluruh klub, 24 di antaranya dikendalikan oleh pemilik asing, yang secara kolektif membayar 2,76 miliar poundsterling kepada pemilik lama, dan kini nilai kepemilikan saham berlipat ganda menjadi 5,78 miliar poundsterling, seperti diungkap MailOnline Sunday.
Itu nilai 10 tahun yang lalu dan pekan ini keluarga Glazer dari Tampa, Florida, menjadi pemegang saham mayoritas Manchester United, memborong seluruh saham Manchester United yang memicu kemarahan meluas karena memicu menumpuknya utang Manchester United.
Pengambilalihan saham tersebut menjadi blunder ketika kinerja klub melorot, memicu perdebatan luas tentang pengelolaan aset masyarakat, maupun kelayakan dan kepatutan dari pemilik klub.
A DECADE after the most bitterly opposed football club takeover the English game has known, the foreign investors in the country’s clubs have collectively more than doubled the value of those clubs, new Mail on Sunday research can reveal.
In the Premier League and Championship combined, there are 27 clubs of 44 (that’s 61 per cent) with a foreign owner or co-owner, with 33 different parties with a collective fortune of 69.85billion poundsterling involved.
Of those clubs, 24 are controlled by foreign owners, who collectively paid £2.765bn for those clubs, now worth an estimated £5.788bn, the MoS can reveal.
It was 10 years ago this week that the Glazer family from Tampa, Florida, became majority shareholders of Manchester United, a ‘leveraged’ buyout that provoked widespread fury as it heaped debt onto United.
That takeover was followed by dozens more as the English game was effectively flogged off, kick-starting a debate that still rages about the stewardship of treasured community assets, and fit-and-proper owners.
