Here come the Men in Black
They want Ed gone forever
The first thought that crossed my mind.
I don't think it makes you a bad person.
Do people not think destroying a greatly loved club for your own greed can have any consequences?
I agree about Woodward though, he's just a frontman. But I certainly wouldn't jump aboard the moral sympathy train if this was at a Glazer gaff.
Home attacks should never be done especially if there are kids involved. The people who did this are idiots.
A false flag operation carried out by the men in BlackThe notion that this is a PR stunt is nuts but I'd be amazed if Ashton didn't milk this to win some sympathy.
5 pages in. I'm actually impressed with the Caf. I expected shite takes like this on the first page.
Took a few minutes to celebrate perhaps
The worlds most supported team, and it took 15 years of leeching before it snapped for a group of people. I am amazed that it did not happen sooner mate.
Sorry, 4 years old. Ignored.
I can remember listening to a Danny Baker phone-in the evening before one of the times he was sacked.
I was driving home from abroad, so hadn't seen the match. Some referee decision in a Chelsea match had been diabolical, a foul or not a foul, I can't remember.
DB was incandescent with rage, how could the ref have got something so obvious so wrong. He was encouraging fans to go round to the ref's house and demonstrate their feelings. He just wouldn't stop, got worse in fact. People came on the phone and if they sounded just normal, or said calm down a bit, or can we talk about the rest of the match too, he cut them off in a couple of seconds, went on again about harassing the referee at home ...
Next day I was not amazed to hear he'd been sacked.
Oh, you can imagine the defence, this was just a joke, nobody was supposed to take it seriously.
No, hysteria takes some people over the top, as this evening shows.

Was it? Was it really?
Gives a whole new meaning to guerrilla marketing
Yeah, same here. But, again, misdirected. And, counter-productive.
30 supporters turn up at his house and all we get is a three second screen grab off Snap Chat 
If its not right for Woodward - it's not right for the Glazers. Humans are humans.
You can't have it both ways - I don't see it any different.

That's the ideal first step. Targeting the sponsors, targeting every Glazer-owned business, targeting Glazer customers (they own plenty of shopping malls), etc.
I remember this during the Occupy Wall St thing. As soon as they started bus tours to protest in front of CEOs houses, the "they have children" was used. Of course, a way more serious matter, but I couldn't believe that people who actively were responsible for tens of thousands losing their homes, their jobs, resulting in the break up of families and whatnot, could use "what about our children".
I would have zero issues with people protesting outside the private homes of the Glazers. Non-violent, of course.
Yes,hit them where it hurts. The wallet.
I said arguably.
1) Ole scored the goal but to call him the man that won us the tremble is utterly disrespectful to SAF and first 11 that got us to the final.
2) He was doing his job as hired by the Glazers as a banker to pull off the takeover and he succeeded. It might be shitty for us but all he did was the job that he was hired to do and he did it very well.
3) After the Glazers takeover and our club struggled financially Ed was moved to the commercial side and his deals helped put United back at the top 1 to 2 of the financial league and allowed us to go on £150m summer spending sprees. It should be noted his deals and structures have been copied by Real, Bayern and every other top club. Without him significantly raising United’s revenue at best we’d be spending no money, at worse we’d end up in administration. Research our revenue and dept repayment / servicing between 2006/2013 and see for yourself. I really can’t believe how this that were widely accepted and reported several years ago are now forgotten and called “lunacy” simply because G Neville has decided to say Ed’s to blame for everything.. funny how he blames the man hired but not the actual owners.
4) Yes he’s made bad football decisions.. but tell you what. If United had signed the exact players that Liverpool have signed under Klopp... people like yourself would be calling him stingy and saying he’d wasted the little that he’d spent on crap players.
I wonder how long it took him to buy the house.
Yeah I get that but these things don't happen to plan. People snap mentally. All it takes is an accident to happen for someone's life to go from not in danger to be in ICU.
But its more likely that this was staged by Manchester United
I thought this might happen and suggested as much in the Bruno transfer thread - doesn' anyone remember the Rooney to City thing ? People take this stuff seriously in Mcr
That's where organisation comes in. In broad daylight, peaceful, in numbers. Anyhow, it's not like it would happen. A trigger happy US cop would probably massacre people with banners in an affluent neighbourhood.
This.... Also the timing is perfect to have this before the supposed walk out.30 supporters turn up at his house and all we get is a three second screen grab off Snap Chat
Well, this is the thing, MUFC supporters have been so passive and patient about the whole thing, and now a group of them jump from inertia to crime.
Wave banners, organize protests, do what you will. There are thousands of things fans can do to press EW, violence is not one that should be encouraged or tolerated.
Not being funny but has anyone seen @esmufc07 around tonight?
Absolutely the wrong way to get anything done. This will have the opposite effect, instead of putting pressure on Woodward this will get him sympathy.
Agree with this. Resign and don't put yourself and family at potential peril. Simple.
For fecks sake, they could've at least waited until the end of the January window, Bruno's on his way boys things are good.
Woodward is an employee of the Glazers. Attacking him is a pointless exercise.
This is insane. Usually nice area has their own security people. Can't imagine how they missed 20-30 people gathering around, freely throwing flares into a house.
They weren’t home, so how could anyone be involved?
Yes they’re idiots but let’s not add things onto the story that didn’t happen.
Liverpool fans fire flares into crowded stands full of families, not just the hoolies and you never hear an utterance.
A few fireworks outside an empty house with nobody in danger or even around and it’s all over the broadsheats as well as the red tops. Then again, hardly surprising when it comes to United.
