Violence? Seen more blood spilt and damage done on a Wednesday night in the local bingo hall. Catch a grip mate.Sad, isn't it?
As a Manc who has family living near where the violence occurred, I'm glad you weren't. The less people breaking the law and causing chaos near them, the better.

Will play tomorrow.
Yes,I would think marching in Manchester with thousands of people protesting the Glazers would do more than today. But, I for sure understand what the supporters did today, I just hope some good comes out if it.
Probably the most popular generic finance site. Kind of a news aggregator but I saw it on there! Not a huge deal....Is this a stock exchange tv channel?
How would disrupting the streets of manchester city centre effect the Glazers? People outside the UK wouldnt careYes,
a massive crowd doing a peaceful protest march through Manchester would have been a far more palatable effort. With respect to some good coming from todays efforts, well thats already happened. Its a main topic among football fans all over the world. Lots of debate over it. That in itself is a huge amount of good to have come from it.
Irrelevant. I really don't see the point in trying to frame the blame elsewhere. What's happened, happened. Whoever did what just condemn the violence as no one wants to see anyone get hurt.This will go down as a great day in the history of the club.
I'd be interested to learn how many people got hurt before the police started to force people away from the protest. I don't mean the ones who removed people from the stadium, but the lines of officers in riot gear we saw in videos, who started pushing crowds away from where they were gathered outside.
I've never once seen those tactics employed on protests without things ending violently. That said, I'm sure 99% of police officers out there were just doing their job to the best of their ability, and just like the 99% of fans who did a great job protesting, we shouldn't let the 1% wrong 'uns dictate the story of the day.
Who do you think put Eddie in charge of United and left him in that position for 8 years? How are people so blind to something so obvious?United have invested adequately for a club of its stature. The reason for our decline is 3 successive poor managers and 3 successive conflicting and wrong recruitment strategies. There was no clear vision or direction the club was taking post-Ferguson. Things seem like they are slowly changing under Solskjaer. To me this seems like the fault of whoever is/was in an executive position (Woodward) rather than the owners, who have interfered minimally.
Things could truly be a lot worse.
That's true and a very valid point. But I see so many fans critcising a lack of investment, which is patently untrue. We've spent a huge amount of money over the past decade, the bulk of it has just been spent on a disastrous clash of transfer strategies and ideologies.Who do you think put Eddie in charge of United and left him in that position for 8 years?

They've kept us ticking but we're in an obvious decline and in another 10 years, it'll be worse, not better.
Your point about 'investment' is completely wrong but I've addressed that in a lot of my posts today and feel tired repeating it.That's true and a very valid point. But I see so many fans critcising a lack of investment, which is patently untrue. We've spent a huge amount of money over the past decade, the bulk of it has just been spent on a disastrous clash of transfer strategies and ideologies.
United have spent United's money while continuing to be saddled by Glazer's debt.That's true and a very valid point. But I see so many fans critcising a lack of investment, which is patently untrue.

That people still don't seem to understand this is pretty wild - thinking all the money comes from the Glazer's pockets.United have spent United's money while continuing to be saddled by Glazer's debt.
Yet any new owners will have to pay vastly more for the club than Malcolm did, so the fans will resent them for wanting a return on said investment?That people still don't seem to understand this is pretty wild - thinking all the money comes from the Glazer's pockets.

Literally about to reply the same thing.What investment?

Who is “we”?That's true and a very valid point. But I see so many fans critcising a lack of investment, which is patently untrue. We've spent a huge amount of money over the past decade, the bulk of it has just been spent on a disastrous clash of transfer strategies and ideologies.
I'm not sure what point you're making? Should fans be grateful the club has been allowed to spend some of its own generated money? It would have even more spending power if it wasn't being shackled by the debt and interest payments brought upon it by the owners. Owners who make money each and every year by taking out and putting in to their personal accounts.That's true and a very valid point. But I see so many fans critcising a lack of investment, which is patently untrue.

We’ve spent our own money, part of what’s left once you deduct their dividends and the massive debt they’ve saddled us with. We shouldn’t thank them for that.That's true and a very valid point.

“Fans” who do not support the protests today do not understand the battle at stake. We are trying to get our club back, It’s the end not the99% of those in attendance today are generational United fans who fill terraces up and down the land - and further afield - wherever and whenever United play. Yet we have bleeding hearts here condemning their actions, the same people who have never set foot in Manchester before, let alone the ground. Go figure.
We have the best supporters in Britain, bar none. If any fanbase can eradicate a parasite, it’s ours. Well in, lads.
It’s just football? Football is a way of life. A true fan would understand that. We breathe football and want our club back. Bigger picture this was definitely the right move.Utterly pathetic behavior, shades of angry republicans entering Congress. If we needed proof why governments around the world imposed strict rules during the pandemic, look at Liverpool, Glasgow and Manchester after each episode over the last year. It’s just football, there are other ways to make a point, this is just people needing to break the law.
If new owners buy the club then they’ve invested in the club. So new owners not Malcolm and co!What investment?
No I don’t think you do! I’m asking a question about new ownership. Club isn’t going to be bought by fans, so if someone invests 3 billion of their money are they allowed a return?I don't think you follow
Seriously?How would disrupting the streets of manchester city centre effect the Glazers? People outside the UK wouldnt care
It was on ESPN, our main sports channel. But people here don’t really get it. While we’re very passionate about sports, the main purpose for sports owners is to make a profit. The only other reason is for ego/status, say like a Jerry Jones.There much coverage in the states about this?
Would be nice for their leaching ways to be highlighted over there, if nothing more than to embarrass them on the golf course in front of their business buds.
Have others spent nothing during that time? They bought into success. Sir Alex went a number of years without buying a midfielder. We made statement signings too late. The club had lost the ambition to improve the first 11 and we were left with average squad players for long periods to make up the numbers. There was a lot wrong but look we never got the players LVG wanted. We never backed Jose when he wanted a defender. Ole was obvious as he was a fans fave but also would promote youth further which helps spend less so has appeal to greedy owners.That's true and a very valid point.

Americans do love their billionaires. Free speech indeed.Tweet

please check this out. ESPN in USA, their guy was starting to defend United fans and speak truth about glazers and was taken down OH SO FAST
It was done at OT by 4:30ish yeah. Stormed the barriers and a few got into the ground obviously but it did die down quickly because police got their batons out. Would not say it was peaceful protests today, to be fair, but feck itI have the rough impression this protest was relatively short and sweet? They got in, made their point and left?
Is that accurate ?
