Using Flotation Device
ManU joint-chair Avram Glazer is seen before an April 30 match against Man City.
The Glazer family's timing for floating ManU is "facing criticism from some analysts" who argue the Glazers are "deliberately avoiding having to present United's expected decline" in financial performance in '11-12, according to David Conn of the London GUARDIAN. The Glazers have filed to float ManU on the N.Y. Stock Exchange. ManU's income is expected to have "suffered a significant decline" last year, principally due to the club being eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage.
