United are big enough and financially powerful enough to survive the criminal act. If that had happened to a smaller club (like Liverpool) they would have effectively faced insolvency.
I'd have to disagree with this. Utd are millions in debt to the glazers, it's no longer a debt free club.
Last time I checked it was over 500M owed to the glazers with them taking out a dividend of over 50m a season for consultancy fees etc.
Manchester United earn record revenues but still have debt of £487m
So they've paid 3m a season off the debt having owned it for 13 years. Servicing the debt is costing 24m a season. Clearly they have no intention of clearing the debt, and are simply taking out money from the club.
Manchester United has highest net debt of any football club in the world, new Uefa report shows
Further context, that Utd have the highest debt in Europe, and went up 25% alone in that year (2017). As the article says, it's 80% of the clubs assets or 1 seasons revenue. But that's without paying any bills or players or investment. I'd say you were a little off gastrodamus if im honest, seems you're back to making stuff up again.
Modern day football is just that, a rich company/person buys the club, then loans them the money to improve. They never invest their own money, it's a business after all. Chelsea, PSG, Arsenal, Everton, Utd, City, Spurs to name but a few that are in this situation.
If any of the owners pulled out suddenly, without a buyer to purchase the club then they would be in trouble. Why do you think no-one has bought newcastle yet. Because Ashley wants a massive amount of money to cover what he's "invested"
Whilst Utd have a massive fan base, and an expansive commercial operation, to say they could take the hit is not true, and doesn't make business sense. If the glazers pulled out, then someone would need to pay over 1 Billion for the club, and there aren't that many people with that kind of disposable cash laying around.
