The Devils & The Details

ManU Reports $113M Loss

Less than two weeks from facing rival Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League final, Manchester United's on-field success is not reflected in the Glazer family’s bank account. In the most recent FY, ManU reports losses of $113.3M, and the club still owes creditors up to $1.5B. While the Red Devils are on the verge of on-field greatness, SI.com's Gavin Hamilton notes the Glazers' finances "could start to unravel" if ManU loses to Chelsea. The news is not all bad -- ManU's $1.8B value tops Forbes' valuations of soccer clubs, making it the most valuable sports franchise in the world. However, a new cloud could hang over the sport in England, as a recent immigration law requires all EPL players to pass an English-language test. Stateside, the Dynamo receive a potentially huge boost in their ongoing stadium efforts as Texas Southern Univ. offers to help finance the endeavor.
