Thread: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford

  1. #1

    Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford

    Better bit of action on the pitch than the game will likely be - if it goes ahead now?

    That's strange. I didn't think United had any Manchester based fans.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Game called off.

    Re: Scenes outside and Inside Old Trafford

    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.

    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.

    Funny. Good on them I was wondering when they would have a protest, is this there first home game since the greed fest?
    Publicity and disruption was the aim....

    I thought the Man U fans would have been protesting about Pogba’s agent trying to get him £450k a week contract ?
