Who are Manchester United's mysterious owners? They're rarely interviewed, barely at the club, and spend most of their time in Tampa, but Sally Nugent, Faisal Islam and Simon Stone are determined to find out everything they can about the Glazer family. Joined by Chris Blackhurst – author of the upcoming book ‘The World’s Biggest Cash Machine: How the Glazers Made Billions from Manchester United’ – they dive deep into their leveraged takeover in 2005, the explosive fan protests that followed and how all this ultimately affected the club. Of course, we'll be chatting about the big League Cup win at Wembley too, and whether it might actually tempt the Glazers to stay! PRODUCTION TEAM: This episode was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Maia Lowerson and Josh Jenkins. The podcast lead for BBC Radio 5 Live is Matt Smith. The assistant commissioner is Stevie Middleton. The editor is Sam Bonham. CLIP CREDITS: Sky Sports Channel 4 News JOIN THE CLUB: Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to 0330 123 9480 Email [email protected] Or use #HowToBuyAFootballClub
