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?
