A few things:
Great that Woodward is gone, but a new idiot will follow
Hoping that the owners (not the clubs) will somehow be punished (unlikely, I know)
Let's change the model in England and get the Glazers out once and for all
So great to see all collapse so quickly!
Big respect to Shaw and Maguire

To be fair it was just a funny quote some guy made when BSkyB tried to take United over in 1998 I like regurgitating. The club should belong to the fans though and is still an institution of Manchester.
Fair enough, I agree with that

Respect to Chelsea fans. Incredible. I will be rooting for the Chavs in this year's CL.

I'll hold the champas until we get a full autopsy of this whole ordeal and when we have an inkling of who might be getting Woodward's gig.

Hopefully the reports of Glazers potentially packing up due to the fall out are also true

Spot on mate. Government get off your arse and get this 50.1% in, this was nothing but a warning shot, these scumbags will continue to treat fans like "legacy fans" and real football fans do not deserve it.
In principle, I completely agree.
But. And it is a massive massive but. Assuming United are worth say £1bn, how is it going to be even remotely possible for the supporters to come up with £501millions.
Unfortunately, it is a pipe dream.

Love this notion that he planned to leave on summer anyway, i mean you set up Super league, all that money from it and just leave before everything starts.
The parasites probably figured he was starting to taint their image. He was a tremendous earner for them, so after this deal would be the perfect time to let him move on.

And now it is convenient to make him a scapegoat to deflect attention. Woodward could not care less about this imo. You'll see him in a top job very soon, bet it.

Until the parasites are gone there is nothing to cheer about Woodward leaving.

I know that, but does it apply to courtroom jurisdiction? I can easily imagine that courtroom decisions by member states are not applicable to Switzerland? I'd guess that might be one of the reasons they are still outside of EU (despite close economic and political relationship) Also what if UEFA gets a court in Switzerland to overrule the decision by Madrid court (as obviously a Madrid court was influenced by Perez)? I'd say a lot here depends on the exact nature of bilateral agreements between EU and Switzerland.

Also they are definitely not applicable to UK after brexit, meaning the "bigot six" can still be punished by the FA and Premier League.

It seems to me this Madrid court ruling is just posturing.
Yes because the competition laws under the single market comes under eu law with the eu courts as the arbitrator .... it was one of the major reasons the conservatives wouldn't remain in the single market with brexit

The answer is obvious, a loan that we actually pay back unlike the Glazers

Sadly we are tainted af and there is no washing from this. Also think this might be missed opportunity for everything to go to hell and burn whole thing down, UEFA/FIFA included and press hard reset button.
We are not, Glazers and Woodward are.. Feck em

Glazers have got to go. 51% fan-owned model needs to happen. I don't want anything to do with greedy owners who don't know football

The vice chairman of ESL, please start floating your Man Utd shares. You are hated by hundreds of millions of fans across the globe. FU
