We all know that they are bad, but..
They bought the club legally and are running it legally.
They are capitalists, the previous owners made it possible for them to buy it.
What other types of owners are there :
Billionaires wishing to launder money Eg Abramovitch
Countries wishing to clean their image. Eg Saudi Arabia.
Local business men who have done well and want to support their local club. Eg Jack Walker.
Fans. Eg Barcelona.
What kind of ownership do we want, and is it possible to get it?
The owners

What sort of owners do United fans want? I guess ones that don't saddle the club in a huge debt for a start... It's not even a big ask.

Anyone but the Saudi’s

And Donald trump that would be a disaster, probably entertaining at times before the train wreck.

Would we be happy with a consortium buying us, and taking the same level of dividends as the Glazers do?

Who cares about legal. They bought the club with major debt with interest. That in itself is a crime. I’d rather a majorly rich group buy us. Also there’s little to no morals in football. That ship sailed ages ago and with united too

It's not a crime

They did but I'm pretty sure current rules on ownership would have rejected how the Glazers bought United through debt these days.

I heard a phrase the other day “those that like the law and those that like sausages, should never watch either be made”

Made me laugh anyway, but I saw the point as well.
