Man Utd fans’ group criticises £16m Glazer family dividend
By Simon Stone
BBC Sport
A fans’ group has criticised Manchester United’s decision to pay majority shareholders the Glazers £16m a year.
Shareholders will receive 0.045 cents (£0.03) per share each quarter, the first dividend since United floated on the US Stock Exchange in 2012.
The Glazer family, which owns 83% of United shares, will receive $24.5m (£15.79m) annually.
“This is rubbing salt into the wound,” said Manchester United Supporters’ Trust vice-chairman Sean Bones.
“Profits from the club should go back into it.”
A United spokesman said the Glazers were committed to investing in the team and that the dividend underlined the club’s strong financial position.
United estimate they will save $10m annually in interest payments following a refinancing of their debts this year.
The announcement came on the same day United said they were considering selling a further 24 million “Class A” shares.
‘The Glazers have cost us £1bn’
In total, there are about 164 million shares in United.
Around 83% are Class B shares, which are owned by the Glazer family, while the remainder are Class A shares.
“The Glazer family have already cost us £1bn in interest payments,” said Bones.
“They are sitting on an asset worth £2bn, which still has debts of over £400m, yet are now milking it for even more. How greedy can you get?”
Well done to management team tonight a solid performance that with a bit of luck could have yielded a good away win

(And this might be relevant to Canamalar, having just read his comment)
It would be useful if the CEO of the company took the trouble to meet representatives of those shareholders/supporters. Like on Tuesday for example.
Incidentally I thought the ref had a relatively good game tonight.

“I feel sorry for the people who’s greatest pleasure this evening is asking those of us who’ve been critical these last few weeks how unhappy it makes us to see this performance tonight.
How does it make me feel?
Pretty damned fecking good. As they should know.”
I wish it was an emotion widely shared, James, but if you can read around you on CQN tonight you will see a sizeable group that, if they are feeling good, are doing a pretty damn good job of hiding it as they pick scapegoats left, right and centre, in post after post, before the thought enters the head of adding a wee- “Well done Celtic!”
At no time in our history would getting a result against Ajax not be regarded as anything other than a great achievement. Yet tonight, even after such a rewarding result we have :-
Posters picking out the failures
Posters diminishing Ajax- with Fox & Grapes type reasoning
Posters predicting future failures on the night where we got a very creditable Euro result.
Anhedonia is rife and it is not all coming from hunterlopers.
And I’m not pleading guilty to a censorship or Polyanna charge. There was plenty wrong with our result tonight but, overall it was a great start. I think some on here could not take joy in Lisbon 67 without digging up that dick Craig or rejoice in 10 men won the league without destroying Johnny Doyle.
I was at the match recently where Tyler Blackett was introduced to the crowd at half time – and this was before we saw him play- Anyway, he had been on the pitch speaking for less than 5 seconds, struggling to speak into the mike- when the cry came out from a Celtic fan near me- “Speak up ya dick!”
Some welcome to Celtic, eh?
Hamiltontim …… We’ll agree to differ on this one …… See you also got yer wee “board” dig in :)
I think posters are being a bit hard on Izzy. OK, he shouldn’t have dived in but he played entire game with total passion and commitment. If all Celtic players did that all of the time, I would be one happy Tim.
Tonight was not just about Europa points, it was about a group of players who have been much maligned, fighting back and showing they had guts. There was nothing won tonight but a flame was lit, it’s what happens from now on is important.

Are your eyes painted on, or are you a bhun…… Hahahaha
Why, why.why Deila kept Izzie on

Great point. Major ref ‘blunder’ in those 3 games didnae help us. Common denominator in denying a treble, CL qualification and Pittodrie on Saturday(which will make no difference to the title race) Inept or cheats???
I was actually disappointed that we drew. I don’t think Ajax were that good. Suppose,though, that after the weekend I will settle for a draw. Griffiths did really well in the air tonight from balls lofted towards him. Izzy was good and I am not convinced he touched the Ajax player but lunging in is offering youself up for a booking.
I will give Blackett time but he needs to look more alert.
The second goal would have been avoided if the lamppost from Dam Square had been on the line. Shame on the supporters for not sticking it there .

SPOT ON ….I luv IZZI
RD has to take the blame for the Izzy s/o. Most footballers are thick as bricks, at least that has to be the default position. It’s up to the manager to give them adult supervision. RD should have yanked Izzy. He blew it. All of us at Chicago CSC saw what was going to happen. Why didn’t our manager ?

EstorilBhoy….
I am visiting your lovely town. Any pointers on visiting the scene of our greatest achievement

Sorry blog name is in memory of my late father who went to Lisbon and stayed in Estoril. Came back after we one the big cup and named his house ‘Estoril’.
As a tribute when I joined CQN I used Estoril as my blog name.
Apologies, but if you ever want to find you’re way around Garrowhill I’m your man :)
Hope ou have a brill time in Portugal.
Hail! Hail!

It’s easy for us here who are not accountable for the concequences of a full scale blackout of MSM but I think it must be really tempting not to call the current disgrace for what it is.
Radio Scotland was a disgrace tonight as it is most weeks with their anti Celtic bias. I don’t think anyone seriously bothers about the desperate newspaper hacks rantigs these days so my sense would be now is the time for our club to take a stand. Without Celtic these guys are nothing. Their relative contribution to our pot vs the the contribution to wider Scottish football is tiny.
I do hope our custodians make a stand.
i love izzi too
Leave him alone
We win as a team and lose as a team
Great result tonight
Now if it had been Efe ….grrr
HT @ 9.35
Not sure why my comment of 9.19 is referenced in your reply.
The relevance escapes me for the moment

No mate, rarely on here do I ‘dig’ the board. What I do is relate things that I know.
I genuinely wish you could be so objective.
Anyway, what a fantastic result tonight.
I’d very much like to contact the Michael Hannaway CSC if possible.
Any CQNers able to help me out.
You can get my via Winning Captains or Paul67.
Thanks in anticipation.

They’ve been pumping teams left, right and centre in the league.
Mulgrew had one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen from a Celtic player against Malmo – he shouldn’t be near the first team. Not against pacey wingers. Ever.
RD Explanation for not taking off Izzy – I’ll take back what i said and i’m happier now that i know he considered it.
“It’s a very difficult decision to think if I take him off [after one booking] because also we get cramps and some of the players haven’t played so much and needed to change so it was a difficult situation.”
Big Nan on 17th September 2015 8:07 pm
Sorry for late reply now back on line
Gordon ????????
Ronny had a go at him for the Aberdeen goal and he could be blamed for the second tonight – but I will give him the benefit of the doubt and put it down to a good quality ball
But improvement needed – I agree

MUST are a bit of a joke these days, the Glazers might be a bit strange but since they bought Man U they have spent more per season on transfers and won more trophies than an era of their club.
CROPPYBHOY on 17TH SEPTEMBER 2015 9:33 PM
Fully agree …. There is a balance …. I was screaming at the tele …..hahahaha
As captain, maybe Broonie should have had a word with Izzy after his foul between the two bookings.

It was in reply to your comment about JR and his reference to shareholders. It wasn’t intended as having a go, merely making a point.
HAMILTONTIM on 17TH SEPTEMBER 2015 9:02 PM
I was at Pittodrie, we were critical before hearing or reading anything from the media. To suggest otherwise is lazy and implies that we’re too thick to come to our own conclusions.
———-
Who’s ‘we’?
We’ve played Ajax four times in Amsterdam;
3-0
1-2
1-3
2-0
2-2
By any account, that’s a fantastic record against a Club that has 4 European Cups/Champions League titles to its credit.
Great result Celtic. Great result Ronny. Onwards and upwards. Good night to all Tims.
Hail! Hail!
Posters being critical of certain aspects of our play & decisions from the bench should not always be seen as being negative.
Wanting to improve areas will likely bring better results while turning a blind eye to glaring deficiencies will only have the opposite effect. Of course a draw away to Ajax is a terrific achievement but this should go without saying. Although many Celtic supporters are both relieved & delighted in equal measures at tonight’s result. Hopefully we will now build on this & make the necessary adjustments so we can enjoy more nights like this.
Looking forward to Humping Fenerbace now :)

The supporters around me, the supporters I passed walking up the stairs on the way out, the supporters I spoke to on the way back to the bus park and the supporters I spoke to on the bus back.
What was your experience?
No negative criticism is valid tonight.
Results like that will bring a lot of confidence to everyone at the club.
Personally, I was panicking after Saturday and it was great to see the Tic fight and scrap for a well earned point against one of the world’s great football clubs .
Confidence can only grow from the point, hopefully our next two games will set us up for the Hearts tie, then it’s the Turks.
So pleased at tonight’s rexult it shines a different light on the build up of a nice progression (in difficulty) of fixtures.

I have seen us twice in Amsterdam, 2-1 and 3-1. My dad, God rest him, saw us once in Amsterdam losing 3-0. How I loved to rib him about that. :)
well done tonight Celtic , point away from home against top seed in the
group is a great result . Woud have taken that before ko tonight .
Well done to efe , played really well when h came on . Good displays also
from biton , boyota and chris commons for his bit of skill in making the 1st goal .
Guy should start every game if his legs are upto it , if not , last 20 mins as sub .
Izzy , well played apart from moment of madness ………………..
any cqn folks going to the pil gig tomorrow night
EstorilBhoy…..
Good one…!
I’ll put Garrowhill on the list……:)

“It was in reply to your comment about JR and his reference to shareholders. It wasn’t intended as having a go, merely making a point. ”
Still not sure.
My use of the John Reid quote was in response to quonno asserting that John Reid had said that Celtic were not a selling club. That was the only quote by John Reid that I could find relating to that area and I was saying that it did not seem to back up quonno’s assertion. All he was saying was that the bank were not forcing us to sell players.
Are you suggesting that shareholders should vote on transfers? As you can see, I am still confused by your point
TheOriginalSadiesBhoy
That is an absolutely brilliant point you make.
Over the years our record against Ajax is actually very good.
We’ve only won once at Celtic park vs them though (admittedly in 1971 the game was at Hampden).
Beat them this season and we are well on the way to claiming dominance over them
As Bitton overlapped and angled his shot across the goalie I had a wee Agathe déjà vu feeling!
Night Timdom
