That's not the only thing you could do. Season ticket holders could not show up to match games, stop buying new merch (couldn't matter less whether we wear shirts already bought and paid for), get games postponed like they did after the super league, show up to the game but not actually enter the stadium. These would send far stronger messages than just wearing a rival shirt. Pretty ridiculous suggestion to be honest.There is one thing that would get their attention, but it won’t happen. If every one of you who have game tickets bought a City jersey (you can burn it later), walked into he stadium normal, threw the City jerseys on, and walked out of the stadium.
Showing up for protests in expensive United merch and shouting about how much you care for the team doesn’t make them want to sell. They don’t care if you hate them. They spend money on the Bucs because if they don’t, people will just become Dolphins fans. There is market pressure on the value of their asset.
You guys will be there for United no matter what. Which is awesome, but in this case puts you in a serious disadvantage.
Yeah but looking at fans today I have zero confidence they have any guts to do itNeed those super league type protests every home game to actually drive them out.
Get the Liverpool game postponed, cancelled or delayed. Then do the same for the one after that, and the one after that.
If games keep getting disrupted, they'll eventually have to address it.
They've done it once. The blueprint is there.Yeah but looking at fans today I have zero confidence they have any guts to do it
I just saw some wet lettuces on the pitch and in the stands today, bedsheet with Glazers out on but no intensity about it at allThey've done it once. The blueprint is there.
Hooliganism is natural to English fans too, now's the time to use it as a force for good.
While the stadium is publicly owned, they have rules about signs limiting them to handheld signs only with other content limits too. And Florida cops are still Florida cops. I don't think they'd take too kindly to hanging effigies of all of the Glazers.That would be a direct violation of the First Amendment in the United States. Believe it or not, but Americans LOVE their First Amendment. You have to be quite ballsy if you go against the First Amendment in a context where there is nothing irresponsible in the message.
This is the problem the match going fans are all too respectful and timid for this type of approach to be utilised. I just find that fans voices against the Glazers is not consistent bar a select minority. If United had an excellent summer window and won the first two games you wouldn't hear much about protests.Need those super league type protests every home game to actually drive them out.

Whereas if it was consistent irrespective of the conditions / circumstances of the football team then it would be more of a thorn to the ownership of the club. I realistically don't see the Glazers moving unless United ended up relegated or something and loss significant brand value with it messing up sponsors etc. The fans 100% have the power to drive out the owners but it takes radical methods, that's something that you won't see at Old Trafford.
I could understand his pragmatism when he was in charge, winning titles. Probably didn't see the benefit in rocking the boat too much.Wonder how Fergie feels these days after supporting these parasites to take over the club
It's destroyed his legacy for me
The Glazers ultimately are at fault for the money wasted on sub par players by Woodward. How did Woodward keep his job for 8 years when he was proven to be incompetent after year 1/2? That's on the Glazers.They have spent money on players, the issue is that the huge money bought players like Fred. If I were forced to play with Fred, I will put on similar display as against Brentford. Lets calculate the amount of money spent since 2014. It is insane yet I keep hearing it is the Glazers fault. Sack the evaluators. Gut the middle of the field and we will be ok. The problem is the midfield. Play the kids for all I care, can it get any worse?
Unfortunately not. I can't see it working.
is he a serious candidate to buy the club?
Sir Tatcliffe was mentioned who's a billionaire and a huge man united fan. why hasn't he bought the club already.?Unfortunately not. I can't see it working.
Because our owners are probably asking for billions? No matter how much of a fan you are, no person in this world can spend (and honestly should not) spend 5 billions for a football club.Sir Tatcliffe was mentioned and he's a billionaire and a huge man united. why he hasn't bought the club already.?

Chelsea were bought by a similar sum weren't they? tbh I'm clinging to anything at the moment in the hope that glazers will sell.Because our owners are probably asking for billions?

Me too mate.Chelsea were bought by a similar sum weren't they? tbh I'm clinging to anything at the moment in the hope that glazers will sell.
Tesla founder, whatever his name is!!Because our owners are probably asking for billions? No matter how much of a fan you are, no person in this world can spend (and honestly should not) spend 5 billions for a football club.
How much of their own money have they invested? They’ve only ever spent the clubs money through commercial success or borrowed money. I’m pretty sure they haven’t spent a penny of their own money. They have put this club in so much debt, how do we afford to do the things we need to do to compete with others? We’re behind even tottenham and Arsenal.. and we’re falling further and further behind. Players don’t want to come here. We’re struggling and this has been coming for along time, we were so far ahead of the other clubs it was always going to take years to get to this point and now it’s happened. Cities plan was executed brilliantly. Newcastle will do same. Watch it happen and then say it’s not the glazers fault.They have spent money on players, the issue is that the huge money bought players like Fred.

They spent none of their own money and have taken more out. How much more do you think we could have spent if they weren't trying to line their own pockets only?They have spent money on players, the issue is that the huge money bought players like Fred.

But we still have a massive debt and tons of money needed for infrastructure etc.Chelsea were bought by a similar sum weren't they? tbh I'm clinging to anything at the moment in the hope that glazers will sell.
No, only a comedian

This, and exactly this.How much of their own money have they invested? They’ve only ever spent the clubs money through commercial success or borrowed money. I’m pretty sure they haven’t spent a penny of their own money. They have put this club in so much debt, how do we afford to do the things we need to do to compete with others?

we do not go forward until we have owners who come into this club, with a lot of money to invest in paying off the debt, sorting the stadium, sorting the facilities. Making this a club that reflects on how special it is. It’s falling apart. The womens team shower and have team talks of our portable cabins ffs. This is Manchester United. It’s rotten from the top down. So yes it’s on the glazers. The point this club is at… it’s on them. We were the big 3 ten years ago. Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United… these people have fleeced this club and let it run down to the point we’re not even top 4 in the PL.
chucking money at players doesn’t actually run a world class football club, everything around it has to tick, you have to have the best of the best in every aspect. Again, have to say it, but look at city. Look at all the aspects that are taken care of and world class.. for it to tick on the pitch. That’s not going to happen while these frauds have their greedy, fleecing hands on our football club.
but of course, it’s not on the glazers.
Arnold said in the pub next summer will be worse, so maybe they knew then. Problem is we likely wont be in it for a couple of years nowWe'll be losing money on the Adidas deal next season with two seasons out of the CL won't we?
Do the US really care that much, or even grasp what they have done to us? Not fans, but media etcI’ve said it in other threads, but we supposedly have 35 million fans in the US. Our friends across the pond should protest at Tampa games, removing the Glazers ability to hide and also creating far more negative exposure as the US media would be all over it and are far more brutal than our own.
I personally think negative publicity in the states would be more damaging to them than over here, as that’s where the majority of their businesses lie.
Was thinking more the effect would have with global sponsors. Plus I think they would care if our fans were disrupting their ‘football’ on Tampa game days.Do the US really care that much, or even grasp what they have done to us? Not fans, but media etc
The time is right for action. There seems to be a growing acceptance that they are awful owners and I think we'll get good media backing as we protest over the coming months.Nice to hear Henry Winter savaging the Glazers on SSN this morning again, absolute disdain for them.
Reckons they'll be plently of buyers if/when they do sell, but can't see it happening anytime soon due to future income opportunities, which will always be there, so they need to be forced out another way, as doing it by choice doesn't seem to be an option.
