Ed Woodward's house attacked by 20-30 balaclava wearing "United fans"

[OleBoiii]

Imagine snapchatting yourself commiting a crime Thickos.

They probably think that they are in the right and that the police will look the other way

Imagine how embarassing it must be to be dating someone who was caught doing that. It's right up there with dating someone who's caught on camera doing racist chants.

Manchester United thugs threw flares at Ed Woodward's home as the protests against the Glazer ownership at Old Trafford took a sinister turn on Tuesday night.

Between 20 and 30 balaclava-clad United fans marched on Woodward's Cheshire mansion as anger at the way the club is being run turned militant ahead of Wednesday night's Carabao Cup semi-final clash at Manchester City.


A number of flares were thrown at the gated property in the quiet village he lives in – at least one of them ignited – and it is understood that graffiti was sprayed on the fence surrounding Woodward's home.

Woodward, 48, his wife, and their young twins were not at home when the thugs descended on the property, throwing lit flares into the grounds.

The group of United fans are known as 'The Men in Black' due to their preference to dark clothing.

was always on the cards, just sheds a bad light on the club and the fans. Well done morons

 

[Castia]

Too far Tony.

 

[MUM]

As the club have said, "There is simply no excuse for this."

Whoever they are? To go to a fellas home and do this FFS!

What a weirdo

 

[Kag]

People (me, for one) get banned on this forum for quite rightly - and articulately, I might add - calling people wankers, yet the psychotic underbelly of the forum seem to be able to post drivel with reckless abandon.

Trivialising the throwing of flares. Suggesting, rather absurdly, that this is a self-created PR move. At what point do these people get told to post their tosh elsewhere?

 

[sosolid4u09]

If you read properly, I’m not making any conclusion. Just suggesting other possibilities. It could be true. But there’s not enough evidence to suggest that actually happened to Woodward’s house other than a 3 second clip.

He has also hired a PR person to paper over his cracks.

Or the fact that its been reported in the media

 

[Nori-]

Why are you trivialising criminal activity?

"Criminal Activity" So I guess anyone who lights a flair in a stadium (common around the world) should also face criminal charges and the LFC fans who light up flairs outside Anfield before big matches, lock them up too.

The only criminal activity I see is millions of pounds being funneled out of our club with no one able to do a thing.

 

[Stacks]

Pathetic. Football is a fecking game. It's entertainment. How mofos taking it so serious to bring thugs to your family home? That's beef. If this was the USA I would not begrudge Woodward firing shots at them. How dare you pull up on a man at his home. I hope this story is fake

That's a really odd thing to imagine

Just because something gets reported all over media doesn’t make it a fact. Now there’s a fact for you to digest

 

[dwd]

Reminds me of that scene from Looking For Eric. Idiots.

People who throw flares in football stadiums are generally idiots, yes. Throwing a flare at another individuals’ house or property is a criminal offence. That makes you an even bigger idiot. What our executives, or players, do in their roles at the club has no bearing on that.

You don’t go to peoples homes and do stuff like that. It’s illegal. Also he got two small children. Grow up!!

Whenever something like this happens, I always think about their partners and kids etc. I have no patience for these idiots, but I feel for the people in their lives.

 

[Whiteside '85]

This is bang out of order. Same people endanger fans in and around stadiums. Just scum basically with nothing constructive to offer.
They are not fans of anything.
Hope Ed and his family are ok. [End]

 

[LInkash]

I always hear about Woodward being in his London offices, does he even live in that Cheshire mansion of his?

 

[Betson]

A total embarrassment to the club , scumbags. Thankfully the family were not home , that would have been quite frightening for them if they were.

Find something in real life to care about more.

 

[AlexUTD]

Genuine question: Would people be this outraged if this happened outside Glazer's mansion?

 

[Cypherage]

You make it sound like stupidity is inevitable. It should never reach this state.

It's human nature, stupidity is always inevitable, I mean they commited a criminal act, and they recorded it, how stupid can you be to record your self commiting a crime.

 

[Kag]

Let’s pretend for a second that this is all a hoax; your view is otherwise a very cynical one. And when you enter a thread like this to say anything other than these lads are idiots it quickly emphasises an agenda, in my opinion.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Alright, own up. Which one of youse was it?

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

I think this type of behavior is disgusting and unacceptable.

No matter who is involved.

You don't get to just turn up at someone's house and terrorise their family simply because you don't agree with them on a sporting matter. It doesn't matter who it is.

 

[Eyepopper]

No wonder our club is in the state it is in.

Reading the comments in this topic shocks me more than anything. A few dozen people sing an offensive song outside the walls of your protected home and fire a flare over and you're all showing your sympathy for the enenmy. FFS!

They should have left a pig's head on his lawn.

Do you have a Top Red tattoo?

If not, you should definitely get one... Maybe under the Twat one on your forehead.

No-one is going to admit it because....

The first rule of Flare Club is you do not talk about it.

[Yagami]

Our fan base absolutely sucks. First, chants in the stadium of him dying, now this?

 

[hobbers]

Cave dwelling people obviously.

I don't get the level of aggression aimed at Woodward. He's an incompetent clot and shouldn't be anywhere near any job with football oversight, but it's not like I want him sacked from the club. From a commercial perspective he's been great for us, he's just clearly in the wrong role now. And that's because of the Glazers.

 

[cian68]

The horrors of supporting a team that is 5th in the table drove them to this. Do they think because the club they support is financially succesful there is some right to greater on field success? I'm frustrated as well but look at the 87 teams below us in the football league

 

[ravi2]

No mate. Read our finances. Look where we were before the Glazers, how we dropped in immediate seasons after the take over and how we rose again after he started making deals in 2011-2014.

It’s funny but this was actually an accepted fact several years ago. But now G Neville has decided Woodward is the problem the sheep will believe him

We dropped in immediate seasons after the takeover because of Glazer uninvestment.
We sold Ronaldo and replaced him with Valencia and Owen, that is madness.

If you want to see who the the real sheep is, take a look in the mirror.

Guess i am a bad person then cause i feel bad for Woodwards family this happened but would not have cared if this happened to the Glazers to be honest.

Ed only works for them,they are the ones bleeding the club dry.

 

[MrBest]

I thought singing songs about Ed dying was horrible, this is a step too far. He may be a terrible CEO, he may be a lot of other things but he does not deserve that. Shocking behaviour, I felt embarrassed reading out it. That lot of 20 are no better than the brainless scouse fans.

 

[ravi2]

Jet fuel doesn't melt Ed Woodward's house.

Of course we would.

The Glazers are still human beings believe it or not.

 

[Okey]

Dearie me! Just saw this. What cretins would go to such lengths??? We want him out of the football side of our club, not dead or the victim of criminal vandalism. Just giving us a bad name, this. Gosh!
