What he should write - if you send me 2 billion dollars, I will give you back your club
the Glazers are destroying this club and everything we love about it, and two weeks ago they made an attack on the game as we know it
they don't give one single feck about us the fans or the clubs history, they don't even bother going to the games
the protests will probably fail but feck it, at least we'll go down fighting
to me the last 15 years has felt like slowly losing a loved one

No its not. Games gets rescheduled all the time. The Glazer cnuts have bled the club dry for years now and the ESL was an attempted coup of not just the club, but football as a whole.
Mate, our last RW was Nani.
End of discussion.
Sickened that we didn't get a game but honestly, just feck the Glazers. Horrible little blood sucking cnuts. Violence is never nice but it's often necessary so I really couldn't give 2 fecks about people doing it. I really hope we see some form of structural change in football so that fans are further empowered but I'd take the Glazers pissing off ASAP as a consolation prize.
I do wonder if there are the Glazer's shills on this forum. Those cnuts (will not call them the owners) put a huge debt onto the club. Moreover, the club is obliged to maintain this debt by paying huge interest every fooking year. The OT needs some serious spending, the club needs to spend big to match City. The leeches will allow none of it. The club will have to continue to pay off the cnuts' debt, while the cnuts continue to suck more blood. Without those parasites and their fooking debt we can literally match City's spending both in transfers and infrastructure development. Parasites need to go. The players will not revolt, neither will Ole. It is all on fans now. We either do whatever we can, or we turn into another Milan. A day will come, the cash cow will not be as healthy and profitable anymore and the parasites will leave the club in ruins and rot which may last for decades. I do not want it to happen to Manchester United. We are not the parasites cash cow, we never took any of the cnuts debt. If pesticides are needed to get rid of the parasites, then let it be.

I don't think that's the Glazers fault. Maybe it's the scouting department.
Look, I'm not that good with maths, politics and all. I'm a simple guy. I see pictures of sexy ladies, I click. I'm that kind of guy.
So, I just learned what the Glazers had done to our club and it's sickening. But to say they had not invest in our team over the years is a bit of a stretch..
Don't you think?
I agree 100%
Eh? RM and Barca are near broke.
I've been near plenty of this and I fully support these protests. Football is part of our culture and these rats are trying to steal from it wherever possible. I fail to understand how "fans" like you don't support these protests.

It shows it in the video why they became more aggressive not to mention have you not seen the video of the security guard with the slashed face?
Think many support the cause, stop the game from going ahead, make it impossible for the teams to travel but do not vandalise, assault tresspass, break and entry or cause criminal damage.
And? When was the last time you saw them play in the EL or finishing outside the top 4? Or not involved in a title race for a decade?
Their fans won't allow that.
How exactly? By stopping the playetrs leaving an hotel? Damaging property inside the stadium? Attacking and injuring police? Wow!, well done.
What a day. Proud to be a Utd fan. Protest did it's job which was to have the match postponed. Of course there will always be a minority who take it too far and quite rightly they should not be praised. Already hearing lot of sponsors were unhappy the match was called off and the bad publicity it caused. Proud of our club and proud of the fans who acted responsibley.
Was that really last year? Completely forgotten that.. surprised the game hasn't already been rescheduled then. To be fair, I was swamped at work at the time: I got home just in time to see the Harry Maguire goal if I remember rightly (having been up since 5am).
That said, a 1-1 with Club Brugge does sort of make my point
Haven't they changed that now? If not, they bloody should! But fair point
Not irrelevant and not trying to frame blame.
It happens at every protest you ever see once those tactics are employed so it's perfectly relevant to ask whether or not it's time new tactics should be explored.
Especially when every time it happens, people use the actions of a small minority to belittle and deflect from the impact of the protest.
do you think anyone would care in New York or China about some streets being blocked off miles from the ground if they still got to watch the Utd Liverpool game? Matchday at Old trafford is the golden goose, the product, what everyone tunes in for
Just to remind all of you who are opposing the protestors
Proud to be a United Fan.
We are finally harming the Glazers where it hurts, their pockets.
Lets continue with this.
Lets focus on all the good things that can come out!
Also hope that the Police understands that the protestors are their neighbours and friends while the Glazers are dodgy American businessmen who wont have their interests at hearts, so really...

What are you rambling on about? Making yourself look very silly by firstly missing the point by a long way and secondly not having a clue what you're talking about.
PS grow up
We had to do the same in 2009. We played Villa on a Sunday before we had to fly to Porto to play the QF 2nd leg on a Tuesday.
That goal though
This is the most important message here! How can anyone say well they invested in players... they didnt! They only bought some stocks and want to see a return on it. Thats it! It is an investment and they run it like one. And that is why they need to go!
I personally dont think it is realiatic they leave but I hope I am wrong
I'm sure Joel Glazer is sat in his NYC penthouse, on the blower to the board, blubbing about how they have to sell now because some lad holding a can of red stripe is sat on the crossbar at the Stretford End.
Next time, just call in a bomb scare. Glad you did nothing but make the club's fanbase look like utter cretins.
Very proud of all legacy fans these past few weeks.
Yesterday was top.
Yesterday was top.
Their pockets? How so?
As someone who has lived in Belfast for 50 years I know plenty about street protests. You will always get a few nutters that go over the top but that does not negate the fact of what the protest was trying to highlight.
Everyone knows the Glazers should never have been allowed to buy the club and have been slowly draining it like a vampire sucking the life out of someone. People complaining on forums and online will do very little but boots on the ground is another thing altogether. This brings the issue onto mainstream television and other mass media outlets and wether the general opinion is for or against is mainly irrelevant as it starts a movement for a change in the situation. This can take years or sometimes happen quite quickly like a wildfire effect but when people get off their backsides and mobilise the authorities or power in charge have to take notice, much more so than any other way of trying to influence.
I support those who got to the ground yesterday and stood in protest in our place. Even though this is the 21st century it's still the best way to force change.

From what I can see the police (regular officers in hi vis) were pinned in near the side of the ground and and were being pelted with bottles (no idea why). You can even hear the crowd shouting "attack, attack, attack". The Tactical Aid Unit arrive to support them (blue overalls) and start to move the crowd back with drawn batons. Obviously in that situation you can't just stay pinned up against something whilst missiles are coming in. You have to create space between you and the crowd. I'm sure you've seen the injured officer who has nearly lost his eye? Even the reporter mentioned some of the crowd further down had picked up the railings and were throwing them at the police.
It all got very messy and didn't need to go that way. Absolutely no need for any sort of violence yesterday and I found that aspect really disappointing.
What a day. Utd supporters, we need to keep this momentum going. Mobalise and act. Continue to protest every game at OT. Harrass and boycott the brands that support the owners. Turn the Glazer name into a stain on whatever it touches. Everyone can play their part. Our aims must be kept in the spotlight. We may never get a better chance to get them out.
Agreed. Most fans say yes to protest but no to violence or destruction. Simple
Which club has spent more than us, other than City? And that's also crazy, considering we should be coming from a position of strength. Weaker clubs must, obviously, spend more to catch-up.
That's just your assumption. How did he buy wingers, strikers and defenders? Did he pay out of his own pocket? Just didn't want to pay for midfielders?
That's just not true. We bought starters every summer almost without exception (Mourinho's last summer probably being the one). You may not like or approve of the players but that's an entirely different point.
This is not a video game. Manchester United are not entitled to get whoever and whatever they want. Players, their agents and other clubs are part of the European football ecosystem and ignoring them is childish. It's not like the club didn't spend a small fortune on players during LvG's reign. If he didn't want them, he could've said "no, thanks, I'd use what I got". He didn't. He sold what he got.
With Pogba, Shaw and Martial being completely destroyed as part of our squad, I don't hold any grudges against the club for not indulging his request for a defender, especially after making it public matter. That's not how you deal with your
employers. The writing was on the wall.
And spending less is a bad thing? First of all, we have not spent less. Just look at our spending and compare to others. You just don't like that we don't spend more and/or buy the players you want. Again, life is not a video game.
Zero comments from any Liverpool or Man United players or managers about this is interesting.
I'm genuinely curious as to what they'll say.

I'd been really looking forward to the game yesterday and looking forward to the end of our europa Cup campaign. That said if getting every game until the end of the season called off gets those pathetic excuses for men out of our club I'm all for it. The club has been fighting with one hand tied behind is back for over a decade and it's time the debts are cleared and the club operated at full capacity.
So many other fans and pundits don't seem to realise the debt is not the clubs doing, it's the owners. They compare it to Madrids or Tottenhams. Our debt was not used to better the club it was used to steal it!

Isn't there a social media blackout?
I’m fully supportive of the vast majority of protestors yesterday, but wasn’t exactly keen on watching a group of bellends walking around the pitch, Tesco bags & lager cans in hand, kicking footballs about and stealing corner flags. It looked opportunistic, disorganised and chavvy.
I’d have preferred if those that got on to the pitch had a plan. Maybe a banner to be laid out across the centre circle as they all stood around the pitch in some kind of ‘formation’.
Anyway, I also find it odd that it wasn’t decided yesterday to reschedule the game for today. No reason whatsoever that they couldn’t put in place the required security for it to take place today.

Are new club owner's allowed a return? Yes.
Everything isn't black and white though as you try and make it. No one would mind the Glazers taking out from the club if they properly serviced the debt* and invested funds into the club facilities etc. As it stands they have no interest in doing this and instead want to maximise the money going into their own pockets whilst operating the club on the bare minimum to get by.
United generates that much money as club it shouldn't be in any debt and should be able to spend money freely. The Glazers would still take money from it but not as much as they do now so they won't change it.
*Debt that they forced on the club when they took over. Their debt.
There is a UK social media blackout.
The newspaper, radio, TV and website coverage is all going on as normal.
Journalists have the players phone numbers and loads were even at the same hotel yet not a single quote.
Yeah be lucky if has still got a job in America with such strong views as that
