| Manchester United Fans to Boycott Season Tickets |
|
United have already seen season-ticket sales fall from 65,000 to 58,000 this season due to the economic climate and they can ill-afford any further downturn. A boycott will hit the Glazers because their business plan relied on them cranking up ticket prices and extracting more cash from supporters.’ Last month, the Glazers had to raise £500m in a bond issue to help repay hedge fund loans they took to buy the club. Fans were alarmed that the bond prospectus allowed the Glazers to transfer £127m into their parent company in the first year. There is also concern that only a small part of the world record £80m transfer received for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer has been invested in new players.

Fans of UK’s Manchester United FC are planning a boycott of season tickets in the summer to try to force the club's owners to leave. The drastic move is a protest at the actions of the American managers, the Glazer family, who have put the club more than £700 million in debt.
