Long live the caf favourite, the Glaziers.
Any Glazer supporters on here?

TBF that was largely true at the time and obviously we won a lot in the early Glazer years. Even postFergie the debt did not stop us from spending vast amounts in the transfer market.
It was only COVID put a black hole in matchday revenue and broke the Glazer business plan.
The biggest issues have been lack of spending on the stadium and now 10yrs of mismanagement and poor decisions at board level.
We’ve won 5 league titles under the Glazers ownership and over 15 other trophies. Not many more successful ownership regimes in world football.
Yes they clearly know what they are doing.
Stadium apart glazer has been hands off and supplied every manager with a respectable budget. Even Ole gets to spend close to half a Billion, ETH close to 400M.
I'd say it's reasonable to take a 20M dividend per year. It is their business after all.
They're just havent found the right man. If they found the right man to revolutionaize the football they'll be as good as FSG with Klopp.
There are pros and cons with a very hands off management. If we find our next SAF the structure would be golden.
Their biggest mistake was listening to SAF and hiring David fecking Moyes and gutted the whole coaching staff. They should pull a veto just right there. But in a hindsight, would you actually not listening to Fergie and going against his advice?

Better them than sports washing regimes.
I wonder what the common denominator for most of those titles was.
Hope the Glaziers take over Athletico and buy McGuire.
Not a fan of the Glazers, even less of a fan of being owned by Qatar is where I'm at.
The OP makes no sense. You ask the question is there any Glazer supporters on here yet only ask United fans to reply but anyone that does support the Glazers simply cannot be a Utd fan.
Darcie is ok i guess
Jassim has pulled out, he is now my enemy
Glaziers are Jassim's enemy because they prefer Jimmy over Qatar
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Glaziers are my friends
Friends support each other
I support Glazeirs

Yes but they're not Manchester United fans.
Ah the classic everyone who’s not with us is against us.
Nothing to do with having the best manager that's ever walked the earth.
Pretty much nailed my position at the end there.Not really. As a supporter you naturally want the best for your team and that obviously extends to who owns and run the club. Nobody is supporting Sir Jim because he does a cracking job of running INEOS, just as nobody wanted Jassim because he was great at Credit Suisse and QIB. The support comes from who you think is best for Manchester United.
Of course you may take the opinion that they are all a shower of bastards and then your indifference is warranted!
I hope this is just taking a piss... mate. That being said the really cant be blamed for everything wrong at the club
Same here. Its going overall terrible with the Glazers, but Id rather want terrible than statebacked - I dont even think we’d be beating City being statebacked, which would make it even more ridiculous.
OP’s wording of “Glazer fans” seems a bit off. I dont believe anyone who prefers the Glazers are actually fans.
Yes they can, they are literally the owners. They employ the useless cnuts who've made crap decisions after crap decisions for ten years now and have mostly kept them in employment despite that. Woodward would still be our CEO if he hadn't voluntarily stepped aside.
Ive been waiting for an autograph from Joel for years outside the parking lot at Old Trafford. He could have signed an autograph for my brother Matthew. He’s only 6 years old. We waited in the blistering cold. Four hours and he just said no.
That’s pretty shitty man. He’s like his fecking idol. He wants to be just like him, man. He likes him more than I do.
There was a pretty condescending guy back in the day who loved to link Swiss Ramble and claim that all that the lack of investment in the squad was a part of a master plan and that the Glazers were doing what is good for the club.
Mind you, this ws around 10 years ago, while I was in the newbies. Hopefully he came to his senses by now.

Lets make a poll.
If you saw either Joel or Avram Glazer choking on food in a restaurant would you:
A. Do the heimlich maneuver and save him.
B. Pretend to be blind and let him choke out.
C. Make a big diversion and go to the middle of restaurant and sing a acoustic version of Take Me Home United Road while he keeps choking.

Ok chill dude. Im all for the Glazers out but we bought pretty much a lot of players Jose, LVG and ETH all wanted.
Silly argument. The whole point of a club having a proper strategy is that they don’t just bow to the whim of the manager on transfers.
The fact we have seen it not work under 3 managers before ETH and have not changed it says enough about the leadership
It doesn't really matter does it now? Another nitpicking special on the CAF. SAF did well under the Glazers with Carrick and Fletcher didnt he? It really doesnt matter to what extent we think the Glazers are doing damage the point is we all want them out.
They have transformed the club, that’s for sure. From regular Champions League contenders to Europa League hopefuls. From hosting a Champions League final in 2003 to hearing rugby league fans complain the stadium is getting too decrepit for their Grand Final. The best I can say about them is that it is down to sheer incompetence (the idiot kids who inherited Daddy’s money) than malice.
Can you heimlich as an excuse to beat on him a bit and then say “oh well I tried” and let him choke anyway?
They are greedy, stupid and really terrible at running a football club. They've loaded debt onto the biggest club in the land just to line their own pockets and get some sense of importance. They are so unbelievably thick skinned that they are fighting to carry on, despite well over 90% of the fanbase wanting them to leave and them not being prepared to afford to carry on. These grotesque individuals and their inherited wealth are a disgusting manifestation of everything wrong with modern capitalist values.
Choice of DOF my ass.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe seems to be a great fan.
The league titles had nothing to do with the Glazers. The fall since has everything to do with them.
Why did Avram Glazer go to the football game with a ladder?
Because he wanted to see the match from the top of the league!

I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of this forum was Glazer supporters, they seem to get more empathy than the players or manager.
It's far worse than that though. They have no interest in understanding the business they are in. They run the football club with one goal, and that is profitability - and they do that badly. It took a decade for them to put in place a half-arsed DOF system. When Fergie left we were grossly behind the times, and they did nothing about it. We just got a decent analytics department funded last year. We pay billions in transfer fees when we could be spending hundreds of millions on that and hundreds of millions on infrastructure, training fascilities, sports science and analytics. Our academy has fallen on the wayside because of a lack of attention and investment. The stadium is falling apart. Meanwhile, for every £60-100M player we have signed over the years a player bought for £10-30M at the time has vastly outperformed them. The reason for this lack of investment is because they believe, wrongly, that massive transfer fees equal better players and that is the best way to get into top 4 - and secure CL money.
The kicker to all this is that the club would have been more profitable, their dividends would have been higher and the club would have had more valuable assets, and we would have had a much better and more successful team, if they just spent LESS on transfers. They don't even do what they have set out to do well.
You can’t dispute it as a fact!
They're not pro Glazer, they're just anti Qatar/state ownership.
Savage! Promote this man!
Its obviously does matter if Joel Glazer is staying and is part of the sporting committee. Nothing will change if that happens
