Reply to comment by iamamuttonhead in [OC] How does Man United ⚽️ make money? by giteam

7% is pretty bad in the investment world. Statistically, you're better off placing your money in the S&P 500 or most other major index funds

Except that's not what's happening. The Glazers purchase was HIGHLY leveraged (the debt was twice the cash invested). Their return on THEIR investment is far, far greater than 7% ARR. Their roughly $500M investment has an ARR much closer to 15% - far better than any stock index. I'd also add, as a marque EPL team, there was essentially zero downside risk, I defy you to find a better investment.
