In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
This is brilliant. It says, they want to cut their losses. This is the opening gambit, before legislation, before the axe falls. Keep the pressure on #GlazersOut
its like 2 testicles wearing glasses and scarfs
Club is fecked as long as the Glazers are here so no point ever giving up in trying to get rid of them
Seen pictures of all the Glazers. They aren't fine specimens.
If the story is true. Forget any signings.
It's not like we did anything of note last summer anyway.
Which story?
So the glazers want to be paid 10 times the amount they borrowed to sell the club? Absolute snakes
That they want to sell

We have 140m fans apparently. Someone just needs to coordinate the kickstarter.
Would feel bad to line Avram’s pockets further though, but once we own the club I’m sure we can set aside say 2% of the revenue dedicated to fecking up the Glazer’s other businesses, especially if we stop giving contract extensions to Jonesy and Bailly.

I doubt that is true but yeah, I don’t see many if any signings.
From the very first moment that Pinocchio inspired "garden gnome turned into a real boy" shitface and his entourage of knock off lookalikes, led by Ed "Where The Fecks My Chin" Woodward, rolled up at our club I've been counting the minutes until they absolutely get to feck. I hope the club set up a leaver's party and someone just comes on to the stage and says "well...bye." and promptly pour buckets of water over them so they melt.
Wasn't sure on starting a new thread for this but this twitter thread buts into contrast the difference between the Glazers and Abu Dhabi.

Can anyone update me on this fans' forum call shite? Been busy with work this week and haven't been able to keep up.
How exactly are they ‘cutting their losses’. Bought the club with money they didn’t even have, made it club debt and would walk away with billions. I’m surprised they haven’t sold already given the stupid profit they would have made.
What's Disney up to these days?

This pretty much is the reason City comfortably by-passed us. The lack of backing for Fergie since Ronaldo was sold and the players brought in the same summer (Owen, Obertan, Valencia) was the beginning of the phase where the passing of the baton to our noisy neighbours was taking place. We gave City free runs at signing the likes of Silva, Aguero, Toure etc and pedalled the 'no value in the market' line. City also pumped millions into their youth team whilst ours was left to decay and it's only in recent years we've arrested the decline and handed the youth department a very sizeable budget which is the biggest in the history of the club.
The bottom line is that we put a plaster on wounds that were inflicted by the Glazer takeover. And when the plaster was removed (Fergie), the wounds were still fresh and needed major surgery which exposed the incompetency of several people who rode on Fergie's success.
Hopefully there is a huge turn out at the protest this Sunday before the game. Let us not let the pressure off these leeches.
There's going to be thousands protesting outside Old Trafford on Sunday. We need to keep this thread on the first page.
BUMP!
BUMP!
OUT
Medieval attitude by some fans here: the Lord of the castle is bad, let's burn the village and the castle, we all die of starvation.
The Glazers are awful, let's hurt the club until they sell it, ruined.

"See you out there"
Yes this is exactly what we should do
Yeah, I've read this "I'd gladly spend 5 years in the Championship if that meant that the Glazers are OUT" for quite some time now. Surely, there has to be some kind of middle ground.
Well that won't happen. If the Glazers see their investment is losing value faster than they can extract revenue from it they will sell. It's that simple. Because they only care about money they are completely predictable.

Because by still controlling it, they can take out more profits in the long-run, sort out lucrative sponsorships, and (luckily not) propose stupid ideas like the ESL, which in turn makes them even more money.
I do not under any circumstance understand how the Glazers were able to take over United in the way they were. What's stopping anyone from hypothetically doing the same? I mean take out a huge loan and transfer it to the club, the glazers unwillingness to sell or the straight up illegality of it?

You could sort of tell on NBC too that the commentators were being directed to paint the protest in a negative light.
But, but, Glazers out, that's all that matters.
Apparently it doesn't matter what damage is done to the club as long as they go.
Yeh. Not many people can fork out 5.6 billion cash to buy a football club. Most likely it will involve loan/debt, with interest need to be paid. The loan+interest will be huge at the beginning, and most likely it will hinder our spending on players. Just like at the beginning of Glazer's era.
I've been told the fans don't own the pitch, the facilities or anything like that. So why should they care?
Are they gone yet?
Damage to the club? The Glazers will sell the club as soon as it's lost its marketability. United in the Championship? As far fetched as that can be, I don't mind it at all personally.
Look at Glasgow Rangers. They had to dissolve and were banished to the lower rungs of Scottish football. But they came back, largely with the spirit of the old football club intact.
I might be a bit naive here, of course.
So why the protests if they don't care?
Extremely I'd say.
I don't understand why any true supporter wants to see damage done to United just to rid us of owners who, realistically, could be far better than any alternative. I also don't see any clear objective to these protests, what is the end game?
