Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford
Better bit of action on the pitch than the game will likely be - if it goes ahead now?
Re: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford
That's strange. I didn't think United had any Manchester based fans.
Re: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford
Kick-off delayed apparently.
Didn't they have any security? Wasn't anyone aware at Manchester United that this protest might happen? They'll probably be fined a bucketfull of money more than what extra security would have cost.

Good on them I say, time to stand up and get the fans voices heard. Peaceful and very effective protest

Citizen infiltrators, clever ploy to get the rags fined:hehe:

Would we put up with their owners idiosyncrasies if they spent £719 Million on players?
I think I would .

Let's not open that debate up, alot of our fans sold out with the mere promise of money being spent.
Re: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford
I’m confused, I watch Sky’s coverage while having my dinner and hear how it was a peaceful protest and those involved were right to air their grievances at the owners, Then I go to do the washing up, switch Radio Five on and there’s blanket condemnation from pundits and fans alike with talk of violence behaviour and the protesters being little more than hooligans - it’s balanced coverage as long as you constantly switch between the two!

Spent 719m of money generated by the club itself

We did. Hammam was a precursor to the Glazer model. Splurged on players loading debt into the club whilst taking hefty amounts out to line his own pockets with little or no risk to himself. Glazers have bought Man U with borrowed money, loaded the cost of that purchase onto a debt free club in interest payments, siphoned off £200m into their own pockets whilst loading £500m debt and counting onto the club.

Good. That’s the only way these Yank billionaires will take any notice - if it hits them in the pocket.

Glaziers leveraged the buyout against the club. Like someone buying your house and borrowing the cash from you to buy it.
Difference is we were effectively worthless (to a degree) where Man Utd have a value
Re: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford
Irony being that Sky probably having a massive say of whether this game goes ahead or not

Thanks.
What’s needed is the match cancelled and the three points awarded to Liverpool and/ or a twelve point deduction from Manchester United next season.

That should make you happy since it would hurt the owners as well as the idiots doing it and the game itself.

I don't see how the game being called off will affect the owners as it was a postponement and not a cancellation meaning TV money is secure.
