Joel Glazer wants his family's ownership of United to be given time. In an article in the official magazine he said:

"Part of the problem with being a plc is that you're very restricted with what you can and can't say. Besides which, nothing I can say today, or could have said yesterday, is going to completely change people's views, so judge us over the long haul not on a day or the last several months."

"We would not have got involved in Manchester United if we did not fell that under our ownership it could continue to be the great club it has been.

"Our family has personally invested over £270m, so we have every reason to see this club be

as successful as it's always been. A lot of business have debt, but I can assure everybody that the structure that was put in place is a structure that we're extremely comfortable with."
