    To reduce their dependence on bank debt, they have just given a mandate
    to an investment bank to raise £500mln+ through a securitisation transaction,
    which effectively means pledging future ticket sales, concession payments,
    TV monies etc as both interest and security on the debt.

    Arsenal did the same when they developed the Emirates Stadium, and the
    public document has very strict rules about what they can & cannot do with
    revenues, especially transfer fees received. I would expect the same in Moan
    Utd’s case.

    Did Dirty Leeds do something similar a few years back before the recession

    ... yes, Leeds did a simple thing.
    That was a private transaction, whereas the Glazer's are doing a public offering.

    Incidentally, it appears many of the clubs in the Premiership have already "sold" forward
    their TV revenues, so as to fund transfers.
    (Certainly wouldn't surprise me if Pompey hadn't .... which makes their situation
    even more precarious)
