Well, we don’t know yet. Unless the Premier league want this to happen again they must act to punish the club, and a good start would be to award the points to Liverpool.
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.
Are the protests there so bad the game needed to be called off. ?
Get up stand up - don't give up the fight.
Rebrand aside. Tan has done well for us.
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
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.
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.
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.
I agree, all they did is borrow money to buy the club, that shouldn’t be allowed, it isn’t in lots of countries like the USA for starters.
Football authorities shouldn’t allow such take overs to even happen. Isn’t there supposed to be some form of parameters that potential owners are supposed to meet?
Think the government task force needs to look at and merge this in with Competition Commission , as I see it these clubs have been allowed to create a monopoly.
If it did apply stricter laws , would big European clubs follow ?? If they didn't we the UK clubs would become weaker in all European competitions , I do wonder then how the UK fans would react as it woudl not be a level playing field with the other bigger clubs in Europe carrying on regardless and our alleged top 6 looking on in envy ??
I just watched MOTD2 and the fan/journalist they interviewed didn't come across very well. Tried to justify the actions as Manchester United fans campaigning for fairer distribution of wealth across the football pyramid. Yeah, that's what it was about.
