As long as fans are free to protest / support human rights in the stands while at OT then I think Utd fans shouldn’t be shamed over whoever takes over.
Especially since Utd doesn’t even need insane cash - unlike City or Newcastle - as everyone knows it generates its own profit.
If some repugnant regime takes over I would wanna see rainbow / human rights flags and banners all over OT while Utd wins trophies and people in those countries watch on.
That’s how things change.
The thing that has disgusted me with the current WC is the fecking cowardly censorship.
Hanging flags etc.. changes nothing. I see the official City twitter put rainbow stuff, rainbow badge etc.. huge hypocrisy and the owners don't care nor do the people who hold bigoted beliefs.
It will make zero difference to those people in those countries who believe in said regime. Not to say we should do nothing as anything is better than nothing.

This place right now is alot like I was in 08 and even before when Thaksin was linked nevermind Abu Dhabi.
The truth is like myself (not all but) most United fans will just accept it for what it is, because we're mostly more indifferent to it than we let on. For myself I'm a massive hypocrite on many levels, supporting City is one, as is using an android phone, buying apple tech, wearing trainers like put together by children etc...
Most people don't care nearly as much about those places and their hr record as they say on the internet, its the sad truth. I'm not saying thats everyone but it is a huge majority sadly. I like to say these this is bad and that is bad but actions speak louder than words, I still shop where I shop, use what I use and support what I support.
Its not a nice position to be in, would I give up everything we've won for different owners? Honestly I don't know, would I prefer we've won what we've won with different owners? Absolutely. I comfort myself with Man City were Man City long before Abu Dhabi and will still be Man City long after.
