Can't some of these groups all get together and organise something on all social media platforms? Here, reddit, discord, WhatsApp, insta, Facebook, Twitter etc. Also I'm sure there's buses organised for groups to travel to the game that could do as below. Surely there's thousands of ST holders and general fans that could go to the same game and do a sit in before kick off, at half time they could do a peaceful protest and not go back to their seats for ten minutes and then sit in after the game?
Or organise some way of blocking the teams getting to OT so the game gets delayed.
Anyone that's already got a ticket can do the above too.

I'll keep posting this as some are only thinking of more radical actions. I'm not sure doing any of the above would get you in serious trouble as they're all peaceful protests and could be done more than once. Even If only a small percentage of online match going fans do this regularly it would be noticed and perhaps passing out leaflets around OT explaining to others attending the match some would join in. If it was a consistent campaign it would hopefully gain more support so eventually it would be seen more and more.

Another thing would be to boycott any spending on food and drink in the ground, this shouldn't be too difficult to get going as it's hardly recognisable as food. This would hit them in the pocket in the long term. Also if the leaflets were handed out in large numbers someone will have to pay to clean them all up and nobody would be likely to be in trouble with littering because they can't arrest everyone.

This way you get to see some of the game if you already have a ticket.
Just a few ideas. If they don't feck off then the fan base has lots of time to implement this.

It kind of feels like a hostage situation at this point. Agree to all of our demands or we keep your club, let your infrastructure rot, your brand value go down, your strucured debt go up, drive away all the serious bidders, and make a profit on the process.

I think the weirdest thing about this is how little we are hearing from the two buyers recently. There’s been no leaks to financial institutions and aside from Luckhurst and Custis who are both claiming sources within the club the constant leaks to the likes of Keegan, Kay and Lawton seem to have dried up too.

It’s gone so quiet and the two buyers seem to be patiently waiting when just a couple of months ago we heard how impatient they are.

It is a bit strange, the whole thing seems to have died off. I could always see Sir Jim sticking around as long as he could but I would have though the Qataris would have sacked it off by now.

Both bidders hired PR agencies to handle their comms while the process was active. It is clearly dormant at the moment, so Ineos/Qatar have no reason to be paying for PR press releases via The Daily Mail et al.

That’s just ridiculous. But it is the Glazers, so maybe you’ve got a point.

Can see things becoming more toxic if there's no clarity on the situation soon and especially if things are not picking up on the pitch.

Fans should take the nuclear option to force a sale. Invade the pitch for a month. Getting every game abandoned, the club fined, whilst chanting Glazers out. Rooted to the bottom of the table, bathing in fines would chase the Glazers pretty fast....just a wicked thought....

It should have happened a long time ago.

It’s the only way.

It's now a case of who blinks first, I think both Ineos and SJ would have advisors, who having looked at our financials and the needed investments, will be telling them to hold tight because as things on the geopolitical front get worse it can easily turn into a perfect storm and the Glazers will come back to the table. One would think that in six to twelve months the outlook will be bleaker and bleaker for the club. It's telling that neither has withdrawn their bids/interest.

Nobody recognises our club any more. From the inept and weak leadership to the morally corrupt ownership. Heads need to roll! The 1958

morally corrupt ownership? Thought the 1958 or whatever they’ve appropriated theirselves as wanted qatar.

Goes to show how fickle some people are. putting flyers on empty registers in the megastore but still going to pay team glazer fifty quid a pop 76 thousand times over but will sit down for an hour and get owned by the bbc again. think they speak for everyone man I’ll tell you what I don’t recognise about United is the sense of perspective no longer top of the league and bad ownership is more a moral crime than a living breathing dictatorship

sad sad sad times for United

the glazers will tell Qatar to pony up what we want because the club’s health is not our health. Walk away if you like we’ll go with the scary Failsworth sort and coin it in and youse can go buy Everton or spurs because yeah right do you want them more than us.

The Glazers will be the sorts sitting tight and biding their whatnot mark my words they will

Supporters protesting? They do not care a single jot

The Glazers are probably going to piss themselves at people spending even more time in the stadium to show them how much they hate them.

Nobody knows anything apart from those who signed the NDA’s. Just have to wait for a announcement from the NYSE on which way this will go.

A protest outside the ground by 70,000 and staying outside the ground for the entire 90 minutes would be far more effective, but that's a pipe dream I guess...

You might not think thats a big deal but Liverpool fans did something near that mark (I think it was the last 10 mins I cant be sure), and it worked like a charm. The club owners were embarassed when they saw empty seats live on TV to a global audience that they eventually caved. I think the issue was concerning the raising the price of season tickets.

I might be wrong cause it was over 10 years ago, but I remember this completely differently. The Liverpool owners had bought the club with debt too and we’re not able to pay it. Then they were sued by the bank which gave the debt, and after a short judicial process, the bank won, took temporary control of the club and sold it to the current owners.

It was not the previous owners getting embarrassed cause fans left 10 minutes early that caused the sale.

Exactly. Moan all about it on here then Slag off everything anyone tries to do!

We have to start somewhere and to those saying what a waste of time, get off your arse and do something better than these guys are then!
And if you boycott the food and drink like I said they won't get anything from that will they!

Exactly this. Weird mentality to ridicule anyone attempting to get the Glazers out. In fact, that's exactly what the Glazers want.

Is he going to keep saying the same thing every week? Next week he will have a article saying it will be complete by the beginning of October.
So when would the Class A holders agree to the amount per share, wasn’t that meant to take 6 weeks?
