The same way they've ridden 16 years of saddling the club with mountains of debt and syphoning off millions in each of those years, by waiting for people (and especially the currently pearl clutching media) to inevitably get bored of protesting. Their family is set up for their lives and a dozen generations that come after them, off the back of this club, why would they give a toss about this now? Let alone enough to sell up and head back to the states for a penny less than the club's billions in market value.
The Government should not stop. Press on with the German model. To the Glazers: this isn't the end, you thought the horse has bolted but it has come back and kicked you in the nuts and bolted in the opposite direction.

So yeah. You're just thinking of yourself.
I didn't realise Everton were the only club in the footballing pyramid. They wanted to feck over every single club in England by doing this. The punishment can therefore reflect that.

They should have known once they included Spurs that this would end in a bottle job.

They didn't just propose it though, did they? They/people in their clubs were leaving organisations in preparation to begin this ESL.



I agree that this is likely what will happen but that's what I mean in terms of hoping they receive a bit more punishment. I don't think the fans will continue to punish them with voices of dismay, they'll forget about it next season.




Which is fair, so distributing more of the PL money to the rest of the footballing pyramid and away from these parasites - exactly what they were trying to get away from with this ESL - would be beautiful.
I hope the United fans never forget this. As far as I'm concerned its over for the Glazers and Woodward at this club. Hopefully people like Neville and Keane don't return to not talking about what they are doing to us. They crossed the line too far this time.

Very much. Do you have any doubts ? Seriously? The withdrawal is not due to the ban threat from uefa or PL but it's purely from fans protest.
... which was the entire point of my initial post.

They don't understand what "fan" means beyond the most basic/business simple reading of clicks and "engagement"

This is beautiful to see. Glazers next. Need to keep the momentum against them.

Hopefully the damage has been done and the government will be serious in its proposals to look at/reform the ownership of clubs.
They have to. It's not enough to push this problem away until another day. Everyone knows what kind of people are running our club and they need to be reigned in. Kicked out ideally but I'd settle for them being marginalised to the point of wanting out themselves.

Happy day in a lot of ways but we need to get these cnuts out of our club.

so they did something they had a right to do, misjudged the position and weakened themselves, but you want them punished further because they dared to do something you didn't like. Like a fecking tory using conspiracy laws to punish union members or some shit.

Whatever happens the view of United as a club will be forever tainted as one of the key players in this abomination. Not until the Glazers are frogmarched out of the corridors of power.
Spot on. For the first time in 55 years, I am embarrassed to admit that I am a United supporter.
Almost as embarrassed as I am to admit that I am a fan of Bristol Rovers.
But for completely different reasons.

Fair play to Chelsea for being the first to pull the trigger and to City for following through on it. It's been depressing following the news of this the last few days so I'm taking quite a bit of delight in seeing it fall apart. Reports of Atletico and Barcelona pulling out is music to me ears also.

We're in it until the bitter end unfortunately, with the Glazer's fingerprints all over it, us and Real Madrid will probably be the last 2. Hopefully they accept this is doomed sooner than later though. Absolute parasites. Wouldn't be surprised if we were still sanctioned which is a shame after all our progress on the football side, but the owners/Woodward have royally screwed us.

Persoanlly i can't see United officially pulling out. I think this thing will just cease to exist due to it not being viable, and just end.

This is the Tories we're talking about. They're currently selling off a health service the entire country has rallied around for the last 18 months to exactly the sort of people that own the clubs involved in this. If Johnson is even talking about any of this by this time next week, I'll be amazed.

We aren’t going to pull out. Woody and the Glazers have shown for a long time that they’re no good at reading what the fans of the club want. They’re going to go down swinging with this idea. United and Real will be the last two left in this.
I honestly don't think this is true .... They simply decide, as always, that the fan (not the TV package subscriber or merchandise customer) isn't at all important.

I do as well. Part of me wanted us to get booted from the League cause we fully deserve it.

So no penalties for ditching the sinking ship?
I would dock them all a point a day, starting from Sunday. Let’s see how quick they can move then!!
Chelsea and City 3 points. For the other 4, the clock is still ticking.....
