Man U has millions of fans they pay good money for Man U merhcandise and if they got demoted not only would peole not show up to game but merchandise sales will fall too.

Glazer isn't a fool. He changed the Bucs logo and colors and got the team good and guess what the Bucs went from near dead last in merchandise sales to a top 10 seller anually. Also if all he wanted to do is make moeny he culd have kept doing what the old Bucs owner was doing. He never invested in the team, the team lost a lot, the stadium was always half full and most of those people were fans of the OTHER team. Yet the Bucs were always one of the most profitable teams every year.
Again, they are afraid he will transfer the debt onto the club (he will not sell the bucs if they are doing well and man u bad, he is a business man not a man u fan). So if things are going bad, and he is actually losing money on Man U, there is very little to stop him from bankrupting the company and going back home. That would be the beginning of the end for Man U, relegation, losing star players etc. (note, I am talking about if they do bad and Glazer leves the club)
