Pretty crazy how any coverage of this disappeared after a day. You'd think we'd have heard news of a least some arrests by now given how it was literally caught on camera
To be fair, the police probably have more important things to worry about than some spray paint and a small patch of blackened lawn. Even if they caught these guys, it's a slap on the wrist for minor criminal damage.

If they'd "caught the attackers" after 24 hours people would have said it was PR.

"well that was far too easy, must be fake"

If anyone on here has been taken in by this fake news story, I really feel sorry for you. You are beyond all hope.

Incidentally, I have some genuine silver cutlery for sale. Yours at a snip for a mere £200.

I mean, apart from probably the most idiotic 'logics' I've ever managed to read on this forum, and I've seen a fair share of idiots here, the bolded is so wrong from psychological and pedagogical point of view it's hard to believe that in the 21st century somebody can be that uneducated.
You have any memories from when you were 2 years old? No. Didn't think so.

1) Some people do have memories from that young an age.

2) Adults not being able to remember something that happened to them as a child doesn't mean that incident didn't have an effect on them. @Kostor is right when he suggests your "it doesn't matter because they won't remember it anyway" theory is mind-bendingly out of date.

They were probably Smart enough to realize it was all bullshit too.

So we hire Neil Ashton from the Sun, a week later the paper knows about an "attack" on Woodward's home whilst the guy is away.

There are photographers present.

I guess Neil Ashton knows better than most what The Sun gets up to.

Bizarre case. Who the feck invites a journalist for something like this?
People who want attention to their story, they believe the balaclavas will protect their identity.

I can not state enough just how impossibly big cowards people who disguise themselves in a gang are. Absolute pathetic mongrels.

The journalists were well in on it. I remember being in France in 98 and Sun and Star journalists were provoking fans to run at riot police so they could get pictures.

I think its more pathetic that some folks think this was an actual attack and not a PR exercise orchestrated by Neil Ashton.

If you think it was set up/coordinated by the club, then why would we report The Sun to IPSO when they'd say that it was coordinated by Neil Ashton. Do any of the conspiracy theorists have an answer for that one?
They dont have an answer for anything. They just make conclusions based on conjecture and act surprised when people don't do same

It wasnt set up by the club. United has nothing to do with this
Ed hired Neil as a PR agent to rehabilitate his image.

Neil Ashton is working for Woodward, not United.
If Ed cared about helping United he would have hired a DOF, not a PR agent.

So if this attack is all bullshit organised by Neil Ashton/Woodward, again, the question is why would we report The Sun when they'd turn it back onto Neil Ashton and put Woodward in a bad light? You've not answered that at all.

Wouldnt make sense to be making a complaint because the police would actually now investigate and expose the PR stunt if it is one. Why would anyone bring the police into their own sham?

This is difficult to comprehend for some.

Why did The Sun blame players and Glazer's in an article before the attacks?

Manchester United reported The Sun, not Ed Woodward.

And have there been any arrests associated with this crime?
