The supporter and banner groups that are Glazer apologists and just went against a 93% vote of over 60,000 people to remove the banners just because of a Joel Glazer statement? As stated previously, this needs momentum. If no fans protest for ten days the Glazers and the sponsors will believe they've gotten away with it. What's wrong with protesting every day instead of just before a big game??
Stretford End Flags aren't exactly a supporter group so you've got that mixed up.

Get Fecked you halfwit twat.
They illegally entered our players training ground, wrong way to go about things for a start.
They then show off a banner ''we decide when you play''. They don't represent me with that dictatorship statement.
Isn't that what the Glazers were initially trying with the whole ESL thing and are now getting slaughtered for it and rightly so.
Hypocrites!
7 years to the day you've been a newbie, can see why.

Where would you propose that they do their protest? The training ground will have got the Glazers attention for sure and that's what matters because throwing #GlazerOut in a tweet isn't going to make them sit up and take notice.

You have to wonder how they entered the training ground, as sure that isn't easy, unless someone let them in.

I don't think you know how business works. You also seem to be ignoring the fact the Glazers have supposedly rejected offers of 3 billion plus in the past you now think they'll accept a low ball offers, because they've upset the fans, again.

They don't give a shit, about you, me or any of the lads that stormed Carrington, I'm sure this news will be a footnote on their morning memos.

The only way to force change is to petition the government to make changes about club ownership, not make fantastical suggestions about protests, which we know don't work.
Regarding the UK government. Do you believe that they can instruct or even legislate a US based and owned company to fundamentally change the way they operate.
I am asking because I don't know myself, not to be critical of your post.

I must have missed the "Rashford Out" banner. Could you point us into its direction?

Ole's been sucking up to the Glazers and denouncing fans since getting the job, after publicly taking supporters' side and denouncing Glazers and their takeover in 2005. So I'd say Ole is in fact the one who needs a history lesson.
Proof?

Because that's what will happen if we just get rid of the Glazers.

We need to make the PL/FA change their rules first to ensure that this sort of ownership can never happen again. People are just too blinded/have tunnel vision with just wanting the Glazers gone.
The is not the only solution so it's a pointless comment.

We want those changes AND for the Glazers to go. No one is suggesting otherwise.

There are other potential buyers or a consortium. It's not Glazers or Saudis. Not sure why you are challenging people wanting Glazers out.

And here we go. The perfect reason why ultimately these things always lead to splits in the fanbase and never go anywhere.

Glad to see people taking some concerted action no matter how small or “pointless”.

You know the state of football ownership has hit rock bottom when 12 wealthy but soulless conniving individuals can collectively agree on something as absurdly selfish and disruptive like a super league to the detriment of all fans.

no apology will ever fix this.

fans have every right to protest no matter how small or pointless it may be.
Agree and also the apology was meaningless. I was doing some googling. They backed down because of the reaction in the UK. I looked up figures, 12.7m people here have sky sports subscriptions and you can bet your bottom dollar they were expecting the same footfall in their projected figures on streaming revenue. I think i pay £33 a month for my sky sports packages - do you think people in china and albania pay that for football subscriptions?

I reckon They realised fans here wouldnt watch it on principle and it wasnt financially viable without a strong uk streaming base so they have backed out only for money issues, then pretended they ‘listened to the fans’ for PR purposes. Intersting the first two clubs to back out, Chelsea and Man City, are probably the ones who need the money least.

cold blooded parasites.

I'm not challenging those who want the Glazers out, I'm saying we need change to PL/FA rules first, or we're likely to be in exactly the same situation as we are now.

If you actually read my previous posts you'd know that.

The problem is, it's too small an audience to cause any problem.
They can just have them arrested. Needs to be more than just six or seven people.
It needs to be a consistently large amount to be seen as relevant.

Both to the UK government and to the Glazers.

Another story to twist into Ole hating. Tedious.

Ole clearly didn't want the Super League, we all know it, he was in an awful position and totally in the dark like everybody else.

Cannot for the life of me understand why posters here expect people who are employed by the Glazers to treat and speak to the Glazers how they would want to. How on earth would Ole keep his job if he did ffs.

If anything, having owners like this means we should give the manager more support than we do already. Imagine working under these clowns and trying to implement meaningful changes and improvements.

Go on Twitter. What's the most popular hashtag? Ask any Liverpool fan, do they want John Henry? Why do you think the Tories is interested. Because its popular. People are sick of it. Great leadership by Neville and others. If you agree, shout it from the rooftops. #GlazersOut.
Do people who want Glazers out have an idea or plan on what would happen next? Say Glazers came out and agreed to sell the club, who would buy it? And would that person (group of people) be interested in the football side rather than business side? Sometimes the devil you know is better than the angel you don't.

Some people are genuinely delusional when it comes to our ownership.

I can't believe there is someone that thinks the Glazers will eventually sell if a new owner continually low balls them. The club is a juggernaut of income for the Glazers, they're not giving that up for a few piddly billions.

As you've mentioned, the only real options who could afford us would be the Saudis or Chinese states. I for one would rather the devil you know in those cases.
If these were the only option, then I will be in a minority that would rather keep who we have.
Ideally the Glaziers need getting rid of, but not for either of these !

The Glazers are the absolute worst kind of owners we could get burdened with. Yes the likes of Abramovic and Sheikh Mansoor are hardly outstanding human beings, but you can't fault the investment and ambition they'd gifted to their respective clubs. Meanwhile, we've been stuck with a bunch of parasites who've riddled a hugely profitable club with insurmountable debt, refusing to invest, all while taking millions out for their coffers every year. Ask yourself whether its possible that whoever succeeds them will be any worse?

Absolute morons " We decide when you play" what a truly scummy thing to say.


By all means make your feelings known but in the right way. Invading training and yelling at the players and manger is pathetic to me
Did that happen, thought it was pretty good natured and Ole and trainng staff came out and had a word ?

Even if they could, that would set a really dangerous precedent. Imagine being a foreign investor looking to invest in UK and seeing that the govt can basically take half your company at will.

Exactly. I don’t think Ole is the type to stick the knife into his employer, he is only trying to work within the situation. Fair play to him and the staff for coming out to talk and listen.

A) Great job. We are focusing on the people we should NOT BE FOCUSING ON. - The Manager or the Players are not responsible for this mess. They did not create it, know about it, or want it.

B) I've seen this twitter account. It reads like the perfect "School of Hard Knocks"stereotype. I don't know what was said, but I'm fairly certain that these people would not have left peacefully after being told Joel loves the club so feck off by the manager. But even then. Do you think the most public figure of the football club is going to come out there and give a bunch of raggedy angerlemmings all the soundbites and quotes they can want to spread everywhere so they can help jeopardize his position at the club? That is so wildly unreasonable I can't even.

C) Ole is not the one anyone should be spending their energy on. He can't win regardless of what he says. If he goes against Glazers he gets fired, if he goes against fans he loses the fans. His best course of action is to shut up and motivate the players.

D) You're focusing your energy on the wrong people

E) FOCUS ON THE GLAZERS

F) I don't recall Pep and Klopp being barraged with demands to go against the owners. All they did was say they dont like the competition, and they are praised. Maybe let Ole have a press conference first?

G) It's always going to be rich to actually tell the man that put his toe to one of the most iconic memories in this clubs history, that he needs a history lesson. Bloody hell. That is truly on the same level as Christians on twitter telling the Pope to read a bible.

H) The Glazer Family and Ed Woodward are the only responsible culprits and all focus should be on them and them alone.

Redissue are such scummy bastards. Not the first time either.
It's a random Twitter account that's been hijacked.

Nothing to do with a superb grass roots fanzine that no longer operates (very sadly IMO).

Agree with the protest but I don't understand the "We decide when you play".
Yeah, bit of an arrogant statement.

But regardless, anti-Glazer protests are the need of the hour. And sending a message, even if it was very few people is good IMO
