Something tells me you are always against protests.
Protest at Old Trafford
- Thread starter Lennon7
- Start date
Some of the responses in here are slightly ridiculous. I actually don’t understand at all the point of all this. Why don’t we go one further and burn old Trafford to the ground, that will show them...
No participation trophies? Horseshit.
The secret OT/Anfield tunnel has been reopened - used previously by Owen, Ince and Beardsley - rumour has it Heinze is still down there.
It was the group that were deemed not fit and proper not Saudis themselves. I’m sure there are a couple of billionaires in SArabia who have the capital but have interests elsewhere
I think the idea is that the club should be in a position to re-invest that which it generates without it being taken out of the club by parasites.
Especially when they took over the club with money that wasn't theirs then re-aligned that debt directly against the club, to the tune of half a billion quid.
It isn't about being a FM fever dream every summer, it is about being able to see our club operating without both hands tied behind it's back.
There’s a scousers and overtime joke here somewhere.
What's anti football about Utd fans not wanting the glazers to steal money from the club and for the money we make to be pumped back into the club?
This isn't us protesting because we want a sugar daddy owner.
Can’t we point the FA to their Caf posts where they boast about having stopped watching us in 2006 as evidence they’re not actual fans.
Unless..... wait a minute... you don’t think they just say these things to make themselves look pious in front of complete strangers online, do you?
Yes that is the next logical step and given some of these uncultured ruffians are drinking beers they will be out of control enough to do so.
Been waiting years to post that clip somewhere, and this was maybe the perfect moment!
The point is they are shite owners. They don't give two shits. Have us up to our eyes in their debt. That we will be paying off forever. It's as high today as when it started yet we have nearly paid it off two times over.
Are the fans misguided? No they are correct.
This post is embarrassing.
a drink of what though?
Quite exaggerative. I don't think you identify with the supporters who actually feel affiliated with the club. You are just pissed off you cant watch some evening entertainment, and think the disruption to a team that's already qualified for CL in what is a dead rubber match is not worth the disruption to the club which is already showing to rock the owners.
The secret tunnel? I remember Heinze walking around with his hands in his pockets scattering earth around OT while the squad were jumping over a wooden horse
You may need a history lesson start with the Peterloo protest and work your way towards more modern times.
Oh and the police can not just remove people lawfully protesting by force.
It was the Saudi royal family wasn't it?There is more than one Saudi
how did you even find something so relevant so quicklyYea no shit.
You can really tell with this thread those who don't truly "Care" about the club.
It's just something to watch every now and again for some.

From one view from outside, I would not want to be driving past that mob tonight!
FFS
Just an edit for this guy then? I recall receiving a warning for insulting other members with far less inflammatory language
TR alert TR alert
I have said it's fair enough to want the Glazers to stop taking money. So this isn't about the motives of the protest. It's about what happens after.
My point is, does having that much money help Manchester United but at the detriment of the game? Could Utd then become another Bayern/PSG and turn the Premier League into a farmers league solely based on having much more financial firepower than anyone else? Would such an outcome be in line with the current arguments made against the anti-football that the ESL represents?
I see the argument that says oh well, we earned this, and it's not our problem what happens to other clubs. But that's exactly what a hyper capitalist would say, isn't it?
They aren’t there to attack motorists, cause a minor delay to your journey maybe, but nothing more.
So so tempting to break the "attack the post not the poster" rule
Go grab some beer you miserable human.I lived in Manchester for years, I’ve been to countless games. Don’t start top redding me. I’m also not a fecking idiot who doesn’t realise there’s no magical way out of this. There’s no superman owner on the horizon. Fans made their voices heard last time and I have no problem with continued protests outside the ground to keep it that way, but getting games cancelled, calling for the club to lose points, disrupting the our players, that goes against the very essence of support and frankly is more damaging than the glaziers anyway.
Maybe they just don’t want any trouble with the Police? Doubt there’s anywhere they could go other than the stadium to be honest
Well played
Never a bad time for a moral lesson from the caped crusader.
