For a share that has no dividend it got sold really fast, guess our support in the west really helped out.

I think from what Gill said it was mostly institutional demand, I.e. investment banks etc that were the biggest takers, as I suggested all along it would be. That was always the point, this was never about selling shares to the fans.

Does this mean United is a PLC again?

MUDD

Were the shares that were sold not A shares?

I think the Glazers' own shares are the B shares which are worth 10 times more in voting rights than A shares.

I still can't see how this is a good investment.

Interesting article, thanks for that.

I did track the stock and saw it had climbed by a whole 1.4% before falling back to the underwritten IPO value. I don't know if that was expected or not, most analysts seemed to believe this was more a whimper than one of the UK's most successful clubs making a dramatic entry to the world of public share ownership.

Does anybody know how much of this revenue will be invested in the club and how much will be taken as 'profit' by your owners..?

I guess for those clubs still with debt, although perhaps not as high as Man U, they will be watching events with interest going forward, to see if this would be option for them.
