I have put a fair bit of thought into this, and it's not a result of blind emotion. Some posters have adequately described the incompetence, such as below:
It's a team effort, but is anyone aware of any orchestrated actions which the fanbase can take to put pressure on infrastructure changes? I do not buy the idea that we are helpless as a collective. The Glazers & Ed Woodward, they depend massively on the Manchester United brand, and unanimous fan outrage is terrible for the brand.
I feel the issue is we are not showing our discontent in tandem. There is limited scope in the current environment, and in my opinion we really wasted opportunities to voice serious discontent pre-pandemic.
But what can be done now? Is it organised protests? Is it a united front of unfollowing social media, getting hashtags to fire Ed Woodward trending? What can reasonably stoke the fire in the board? On the surface it sounds stupid to point to social media like some keyboard warriors to show our rage, but I think it can be a powerful weapon of raising the awareness of the discontent, and flag it to a top level. If anyone gets wind of orchestrated action, I have created this thread to share. Because it looks like all we need as fans is traction to get something going and force a change.
I want to make it clear in this thread that no one should condone violence of any form, nor any personal attacks on the board/Ed Woodward.
It's always been on our minds, when is it enough? A scatter-gun approach to hiring managers, to completing transfers, to promising DoF before changing direction, to throwing ridiculous sums on players never meant to work out. We've seen this cycle with our club every 2 years like a broken record, where we are at optimum outrage before a false dawn appears with a new manager.This doesnt feel like incompetence, its more like being hoodwinked. You cant fail this spectacular unless its by design
