    Not from what I’ve seen.

      Certainly not been a selling club, then again we haven’t had a player of any. note that any other club has wanted to buy

        Ah yes forgot about that one.
        Don’t think anyone would have that down as a loss.

          The club might be sued for loss of income by tv companies world wide and I hope by the poor buggers who’ve had their cars and property damaged or been assaulted during this incident.

          If the club can’t provide security and safety for the general public then they shouldn’t be allowed to hold football games there. Possibly then , they should have to play all games next season behind closed doors in addition to a points deduction.

            Not condoning the troublemaking minority, arseholes latch on to any type of protest and often get the bloody headlines ahead of the legitimate majority. But then again holding placards in silence saying ‘Down With This Sort Of Thing’ like that Father Ted episode won’t achieve anything.

              Wrong. I’m not interested in any of the money teams who buy success and I’m not generally fond of scousers either.
              I just can’t accept that this criminal behaviour is justified in the name of football, and I don't want to see it become standard behaviour as stabbings, violence and public disorder did in the 1970’s.
              That’s exactly what will happen if we accept dissatisfaction with owners as an excuse to turn cars over and attack passers by on the public streets.

                      4 years without a trophy no wonder they are protesting.

                        If he held on to the purple patch that he showed glimpses of here he would be worth 5+ times that.

                        Unfortunately after watching him for WB and Millwall his heads not in it

                          It's highly unlikely UK football can go down the 50+1 route because it would mean undoing so much of past three decades in football and fans accepting their clubs becoming less able to purchase best players from Europe for £100million plus.

                          While there are football fans desperate for game to improve ticket prices, representation for women's game, fair compensation for buying young players and not hoarding talent etc. there are also a huge number of fans who don't like the Super League but also don't like that their owners haven't spent as Man City and Chelsea have: seemingly never ending cheque-books and almost always leading to success.

                          There is also a detained Russian politician who has asked UK to impose sanctions on Roman Abramovich due to close ties to Putin's faux democracy government and yet Roman is one of the most popular owners in UK football. No conversation about the Super League, as far as I can tell, has included talk about how UK football is currently funded.
                          Fans can't afford to buy the major stake in the big clubs. The interesting thing about the 51% fan ownership in the Bundesliga is that it was introduced in 1998 more as a liberalisation rather than as a restriction - as clubs were not permitted to be privately owned before then.

                          The model of club ownership in the UK will always involve a tension between fans and wealthy owners - and the drive towards exploiting revenue from other countries where TV viewers attach themselves to clubs merely as a brand seems unstoppable in the long term.

                            Didn't they simply spot a window of opportunity?

                              Game rumoured to being played today, not sure if credible or not.

                                Time to get these parasites out of the game. The Glazers have taken £2.1bn out of Man Utd. They're not required, time to start hurting their wallets. Man Utd have been protesting them politely for 16 years, sod all has happened.

                                Hope fans of the other clubs involved do the same. No place for violence but it is time for action now.
