Ed002, do you see a time when the Glazers may look to sell united? I remember a few years back you mentioned they may looo to sell. Additionally has anybody actually shown any interest/ approaches to doing so. Thanks very much for all your info during silly season, much appreciated.

{Ed002's Note - They will sell at some point but it may well be through floatation or in to institutional ownership.}

Thanks Ed, what is the difference between flotation of stock and instituionall? Is the latter a corporation owning a majority stake and flotation more of a public owning?

{Ed002's Note - Institutional ownership would see ownership/control held by large financial organisations or other funds. If floated on the stock exchange a certain percentage would be public and typically the rest would be sold to investment companies.}

Ed002 are either of the above a common model in other countries or sports?

{Ed002's Note - No, but the value of the larger clubs is such that individual buyers do not have the funds to make huge purchases. Liverpool, for example, is owned by an investment group. }
