11a BIG Q MAN UTD
Answer the BIG question on the blog:
When the Glazer family bought the majority of shares in Manchester United they chose to take Machester United plc off the stock market and changed its legal structure to a private limited company (ltd). This meant that only people the Glazers invited to buy shares in Manchester United could do so whereas when the football club was a public limited company anybody could buy shares. The key shareholders in Manchester United are Malcolm Glazer and his sons. Question: Why do you think the Glazers chose to take Man Utd off the stock market and run it as a private limited company instead of as a public limited company?

10D Big question
The BIG question: Last lesson you learned about identifying gaps in the market. Sometimes gaps in the market occur because the market is growing meaning there is space for new businesses. Gaps in the market can also be in the form of a niche (pronounced neesh) market. Explain, giving an example if possible, what a niche market is.
