With each day, week and month that passes by, optimism about a potential Manchester United takeover wears thin. Almost one year has passed since the Glazers announced they would “explore strategic alternatives” to their club ownership.
But what exactly did this mean? Most supporters - and commentators alike - assumed the American billionaires were finally set to end their 18-year reign of apathy.
The ambiguity of that statement, which discussed “exploring all options” while also suggesting they aim to “serve the best interests of our shareholders”, likely did more harm than good.
For years, United fans have demanded transparency from the owners who, throughout their tenure, have preferred the “no comment” approach.
