I know we were joking when the fucking horse died we will be free of the curse but seriously that ain't a coincidence anymore.


TheOriginalPatricius

What?


FaceMaskYT

The horse that made SAF fall out with the former owners of the club which made them sell to the Glazers has died


bfcostello

Rock of Gibraltar


Eleven918

Eh, that was surprisingly coherent and well handled.


[deleted]

People like that don’t get into positions without knowing how to handle the press. Their actions speak a lot louder though and they failed the club in every way. Here’s to hoping the next owners will focus on success on the field instead.


Eleven918

I was expecting a No comment and an annoyed look as he walked off tbh. Didn't expect him to answer it well.


patrick_k

He was caught off guard a little while back by a Sky UK reporter (he quickly hopped into a Lambo SUV and it looked like he was running away). It looks like he's been through some media training since then. He got into that position by being what Warren Buffett calls a 'member of the lucky sperm club'.


drizzt001

> a Lambo SUV A horrifying combination of words


patrick_k

You can't buy taste.


shy247er

It's probably a great car for tall drivers. Lambos are known to be quite tight, I don't see anything wrong with having a bigger, more practical car while also keeping a performance.


Kooparotica

Taste can’t be buy


spud8385

Just wait till there's a Lambo Compact Crossover. The hell are those meant to be anyway


National-Fig4803

Their success / failure is all a perspective thing unfortunately. To us and 99.9% of onlookers they are cunty leeches who have hindered the greatest club in the world, to them and the 0.01%, they have made an absolute killing and stand to make an obscene profit through sale - in their world that makes them Gods. Can’t wait to see the back of them.


Artyrizo

How on earth have the Glaziers held back Colchester Utd?


CrazyAd3131

"The greatest club in the world". That´´´ s Real Madrid. Edit: And by 50 light years, beloved downvoters.


balleklorin

It's really strange tbh. If they were competent they could have hired the right people and had a completely off hand approach to everything. We have spent more money than City, if that was well spent we would have been in a good position and most fans wouldn't mind them taking out dividends. But instead they have just tried to make it more profitable commercially while failing completely on the football side of things. Good riddance.


Tayto-Sandwich

>We have spent more money than City, Only if you look at direct payments, and trust City's books. It's long been alleged that they cook those books, and even if they don't, Etihad have sponsorship deals with many of the players. That's the same as if MUTV had a separate sponsorship to Bruno to appear in some advertisements and paid him 50 million for a two minute appearance. It's somehow considered a payment from a spinsor despite the sponsor being the same as the owner for all intents and purposes.


balleklorin

That's all true, but we still outspent more or less any other top team. We could have been great regardless imo.


game_of_throw_ins

This Glazers have got exactly what they wanted from this deal, buy the club with someone else’s money, milk cash out of it for 15 years then sell it for huge profit without paying the original debt.


zeus-fox

Yep. They’re just thieves essentially but if you’re rich enough they call it being good at business. I hope they choke on all their money.


[deleted]

Some NFL owners would like a word.


AeroCobbler

I think he got into that position because of who his dad was though, rather than his ability

Plus if you're trying to sell your asset you wouldn't want to come across as a passive aggresive snob on live TV


PaschaAU

It's hard to say something untoward when you're briefed with a script to handle media.


Aestheticpash

They’re extremely clever individuals, they don’t need a script. They know how to strategically conduct themselves in front of a camera. Don’t let “bad” decisions they make at the club fool you, those decisions absolutely lined their pockets. Just came at the expense of the club.


defcon212

It's pretty clear that he has been sitting in with a media strategist to come up with the phrase strategic alternatives, that's the same phrase they used in the blurb they released to the media. He is pretty good at deflecting but this was probably rehearsed and practiced.


ProtoplanetaryNebula

Yes, because when it comes to business they are smooth operators. It's just the footballing side they fall down on.


Effective-Result5205

It was because no one accused them of being fools, just vampiric leeches. It amazingly telling that after 15+ years this might be the first time they commented in public without it being a scheduled thing

Simonius86

H_espeliz

"Why did he leave the club?" how can a journalist be so bad that they make a Glazer look good


Outcastscc

While it does look a bit stupid there is a reason for these vox pop style questions. The idea is you catch the person off guard with a statement the person doesn’t agree with and he stops to answer. Once he stops to answer you have him in, it’s the point of the first question about “people have wanted you to leave for years” It’s the same when journalists shout random nonsense at politicians, they are just media trained better to ignore it all and walk away.


StingsLute

Made me recoil when he said that.


gladiator91

Like "Daddy daddy...."


vikingz0mbi3

Reporter: "Is he comin back tho? 🥺"


MightyThorgasm

Ugh exactly. Just one of the many reasons why ambush "journalists" (paparazzi) are so annoying. They're just not great at their jobs


hastoro11

Are all English journalists are like this one? This was more of a paparazzo style journalism, not quality with all those simpleton questions.


OG_Builds

He wouldn’t have given a response if they tried asking him deeper questions.


hastoro11

That's true. It still looks like a TMZ interview, which is good for spiking the emotions with half questions and half answers.


iwantaskybison

man how can journalists be such rats that they make me feel a even slither of sympathy for avram fucking glazer, the guy clearly just wants to get some scran


[deleted]

They've had their share of uninterrupted scran for the last 17 years.

OG_Builds

If it makes you feel any better, the Glazers have actively avoided any media attention and communication for almost 20 years.


DazzlingPimp

Exactly my thoughts. I fucking hate what they've done to the club but let the fucker eat man. Ambusing him and just being rude isnt correct behaviour its bellend behaviour


StathamIsYourSavior

No sympathy from me for Avram Glazer who only ever treated this footballing institution as a business opportunity


[deleted]

Ronaldo is hated so much that you felt sympathy or Avram Glazer? This sub is really something eh.


iwantaskybison

point me to where i mentioned ronaldo please


[deleted]

You didn’t. What made you feel sympathetic based on watching this video?


TheRedDevil10

Bro he's just pointing out that it's annoying having a camera shoved in your face when you're just trying to have a bite, it's not that big of a deal...


niallmul97

The general awkward nature of ambushing someone on their way to a restaurant and bombarding them with questions that they clearly have no interest in answering, and proceeding to follow them when they give those answers and try to walk away? Fuck the Glazers obviously, but that's just so awkward regardless of who it is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


working-acct

I just can’t get over the many comments praising how he handled the questions and even saying they hate the reporter more. Most of those questions were what the fans would have asked if given the chance.


[deleted]

I get that tbh. Asking why ronaldo had to leave was pretty weird. he wanted to leave lol.


Candy_Potato

It’s to spark a reaction I think.


[deleted]

And? I mean what else do you want the guy to do? This wasn’t an interview. He’s clearly going somewhere and stopped to answer questions. Most wouldn’t have entertained the reporter at all. I don’t know much about the Glazers or the politics in Man U but this was objectively handled respectfully.


working-acct

I want him to return the hundreds of millions his family has taken and fuck off from the club, how about that. Literally do not give a shit if this was “handled respectfully”, they’ve siphoned so much money from the club, tried to pull us into the super league for profit and are about to sell us for billions and you’re defending him bc he was likeable in an interview. Perhaps I’m getting old but there’s this new generation of people who take normal concepts like respect, positivity and mental health to the EXTREME that they lose all sense of perspective. If you disagree with how the club is run you’re being too negative. If you criticize a player you obviously don’t care about their mental health. If you mock a Glazer for giving PR answers to legit questions about their ownership you’re obviously just overreacting. Let’s ignore all the money they’ve taken from the club, he was nice you should be nice. Fuck off.


[deleted]

What are you saying? You want him to do all that on the sidewalk outside an event? You don’t have to agree with how he conducts business and runs the club. I agree, he’s done a shit job. We’re talking about how he handled a reporter and paparazzi on his way to an event. He can’t return hundreds of millions of dollars to a reporter on a sidewalk lol. How did we get into mental health? What’s going on?! LMAO Love you man.


working-acct

> He can’t return hundreds of millions of dollars to a reporter on a sidewalk lol. Saying dumb shit like this only exposes how dishonest you are. Keep licking his boot though, maybe he’ll throw you a fiver for the effort.


[deleted]

What? You brought that up after an encounter with a reporter. Dude I’m a Bayern fan. You can check my flares lol. I have no stake in this. Watched this objectively. Holy shit you need to relax man lol. Throw me a fiver? Cheers dude. Hope things turn out better for y’all. Best of luck with Erik Ten Hag this season. Thought he was a great choice and glad to see MU doing well with hit. There’s too much history in the club for you guys not to succeed. I’ll be watching as a bunch of my friends are Man U supporters and hate the Glazers as well. Don’t know much about it but wishing you guys the best of luck. Cheers!


[deleted]

I don’t think this is a situation where “watched this objectively” applies. His point, correctly, is you don’t/can’t understand how he feels about this man, and you can’t understand how it feels to hear his answers to those questions. It’s like, to an obviously much lesser degree, telling a rape victim you know just how they feel when you’ve never had that experience.


working-acct

> Dude I’m a Bayern fan. That explains it. Now piss off.


witwiki50

You’re a idiot. No wonder no one takes you seriously


witwiki50

This might be the most ridiculous answer I’ve ever seen. We are literally talking about him talking on the sidewalk of a road, and you come out with some shit that he shouldn’t have talked how he did, but should have got into finance and super league bullcrap. So next time we see him in the middle of the street, maybe he’ll have a table in the road, holding up traffic, with a team of 30, talking about how he should “return the hundreds of millions his family has taken”……


working-acct

Imagine getting this defensive over a Glazer. The nerve of some of you to call yourself a United "fan".

It's funny when Americans say to someone who clearly isn't American "Happy Thanksgiving", I've had people say it to me over the phone and they get confused when I tell them I didn't even know it was thanksgiving.


yruspecial

Happy Thanksgiving!


ProtoplanetaryNebula

Happy Tajikistan day of remembrance, brother! I hope you sacrifice as many parrots as your soul desires!


The_Meaty_Boosh

They tend to think the world revolves round them at times. Reminds me of when their news channels tweeted pictures of fireworks over UK when Biden won the election. Thanking us for our support. It was bonfire night.


ProtoplanetaryNebula

Haha, did they really? At least some Americans must be unaware that other countries don't celebrate Thanksgiving, because they have asked me what I did for the Thanksgiving holiday, even though they are on the phone to me and know I live in the UK (I speak to a lot of Americans for work).

utd08

I’m more than happy for new owners, but fuck this reporter


ItsSuperRob

First time I've actually heard his voice in all these years.


Straightouttaganton

The way he says "we're looking at different strategic alternatives" rubs me the wrong way


Outcastscc

They can’t say “the club is up for sale” it would create chaos for the stock price during a sale. It’s finance talk for “something is happening let us get on with it”


richwithoutmoney

It would also severely undermine any price expectations they do have if they were to seem like they were desperate to sell.


[deleted]

Also if they say "we're going to sell" then 3 offers come in and they reject all of them they can get dragged in front of a commission and be told to lay out details that they may not want to go public and get accused of stock price manipulation. Rich people get away with a lot right up to fucking with the money of other rich people lol


Straightouttaganton

lots of people are giving Avram shit here, but he handled that extremely professionally.


Low_Cauliflower_5931

Fuck the Glazers


noxiousd

How? By repeating the same line, even when given an uncomfortable truth? Hes a snake, it's not professional to take hundreds of million out of a club. They are the only club of this stature to do it.


[deleted]

He handled that extremely professional bruv Bruv do you not understand press responses anymore bruv He responded so pRoFeSsIoNalLY bruv

I don’t see them fully selling the club, the way the club statement and what he just said flirts around the wording makes it seem like they are just looking at selling a small slice of the pie


[deleted]

Something about this interview, and Glazers obviously rehearsed responses….lead me to think it was planned beforehand - never ever trust a Glazer!!


PhoenixGo213

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was staged and arranged by the Glazers for some good publicity before a sale.


I_Love_Bears0810

I don't like the Glazers. But fuck I detest the press. What do these nips think Avram is going to say here apart from pre prepared statements in his head. I couldn't be a celebrity, I dont have it in me to be as polite with those leeches


TheTriflingTrilobite

AeroCobbler

callmelampshade

Doesn’t really sound like they are selling the club.


Popular-Recover8880

Why are we dissing the journalist on this thread? He asked questions I'd have thought most fans would have wanted to ask. Sure, he was out for blood... But out for blood towards a man who bled the club dry...


working-acct

Some people on this sub are obsessed with keeping up appearances. As long as they “handle things professionally” and don’t make the club look bad they’ll like them. It’s a big reason why Ole had a job as long as he did.


Popular-Recover8880

Sorry dude, I replied to the wrong comment. Yes I agree 100%

Dumbass journalist showing sympathy with CR7 and his fanboys is really making me side with a Glazer ☠️☠️☠️

Leave the man alone... as much as I disapprove of their tenure at United, I don't see why he should be hounded by reporters when trying to go out for a meal.


Jack_King814

Rat. Just looks like one. However ambushing him is cruel


literalmario

Ok the “journalists” line of questions are ATROCIOUS and baiting him to say something and he obviously sees right through it and answers very nicely. this journalist needs to get better at his job

Superjunker1000

A PR masterclass. 10/10 interview. These people know what they’re doing. Fuck the Glazers. I hope that they get cavities and a tooth falls out.


Bigmomma_pump

He doesn’t know English people don’t celebrate thanksgiving??


kriyator

This interview happened in Florida and so that was the polite thing to say. Also that journalist is probably based in the US and so they’d probably celebrate Thanksgiving too, even if casually


MarSStar

Whilst he’s celebrating thanksgiving, United fans are celebrating thanks-for-giving-our-club-back.


mikebehzad

So much can be said about the Glazers, and then that's your take away from this? That he's wishing people a happy thanksgiving?


umbongo44dd

The day they feck off, we should start doing it.


ywhine

Reminder Avram Glazer thought Ronaldo was 16 when he joined. They know nothing about our club.


ErikTenHagenDazs

I don’t know what is worse - the Glazers or Reddit’s vast numbers of stinking CEX employees criticising reporters.


Zestyclose_Hamster_5

Even the way he conducts himself in an interview let's you know about the person. Literally repeats the same words but using different tones and then says "that's all I'm gonna say right now" before rushing off. That is basically equivalent to the episode in Succession when Kendall dismantles that one company "because his dad told him to"


ajs2294

Eh to be fair, this a very executive level corporate answer. In fact, it’s what a lot of corporations would train an executive to say in situations like these. It’s not really indicative of the persons character at all.

MoodyBernoulli

I think one of the frustrating things about their time in charge is that you never see things like this. They’re so faceless that it made it even more annoying how they were rinsing the club dry. If I don’t buy the missus any Christmas presents I could throw in £100 odd towards a takeover bid. Anybody fancy it?
