Wait What?

 

[RoyH1]

That's one thread title I never expected to read.

 

[DRJosh]

Was expecting the credits to “Yes Minister” to start rolling after. But seriously, great impassioned plea by Galloway.

 

[AndySmith1990]

Always been a fan of George

 

[Red Regista]

He has a point in general and is spot on in United's case.

 

[Giggsyking]

Wait What?

He goes really two footed on them. He said they looted billions.

 

[RedNome]

Mike drop from George, nice work.

 

[LInkash]

George Galloway for PM

Who are the 0.1% that want Glazers to stay?

 

[Matt Varnish]

Rare these days to see an MP speaking without notes, too many of them have speeches and motions written by secretary's.
Of course everything he said is right.
United fans did try to stop the Glazers, but they didn't haven't the backing of the major shareholders who sold out for 30 pieces of silver, many of us held out until we were forced to sell.

The Glazers

 

[SuperiorXI]

As long as the Glazers are here they will continue to drain us as they always have; it was a disaster to allow them to buy us in the manner they did... a disaster for the whole country given the significance of the club. It would be the same if it were the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Forest, Villa etc.

Why's there hardly anyone there?

Austerity hits people hard...

 

[Plant0x84]

Never liked this slimy cockwomble, but he makes a lot of very salient points here. Fair play.

 

[VWW]

Nice work actually having a real fan of football talking about the problems that modern fans face as opposed those mindless drones that are supposed to represent voters interests.

 

[tomaldinho1]

An unlikely and somewhat unwanted ally in our fight against the leeches.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Broken clocks twice a day and all that

[grahamo]

Well said Mr. Galloway

 

[Plant0x84]

He says he is most associated with Celtic and United. What’s his association with United? I’m not aware of it.

He's a big United fan.

 

[TrailMonkey]

He talks a lot of sense on this occasion. Unfortunately, it's likely he'll be ignored by the power mongers across Parliament because they don't speak his language.

 

[Precaution]

He obviously knows a thing or two about fat cats milking everything it's worth, maybe he can give the Glazers more tickles.

 

[Raven]

He really is a world class speaker, shame he's such a bollocks. Absolutely spot on in this case though, glad to see someone speak out against the ownership model in the PL properly.

 

[Tibs]

George Galloway is a legend

Big United fan, surprised you haven't heard.

 

[Mb194dc]

Agree with him and the Clearlake disaster makes it clearer by the day, there should be the golden share with the majority of clubs owned by the fans. Football isn't a business like in US sports with franchises... Need a hybrid model between the two but with fan majority ownership.

 

[ROFLUTION]

That speech is like spoken from Cantona's mouth. Finally someone who just goes full blast on behalf of the fans on the subject.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Regardless of whether it was deemed legal back then when it happened, questions need to be asked of the people in charge back then as to why such a takeover was allowed back then.

It boggles the mind of how it was allowed.

 

[SuperiorXI]

It boggles the mind of how it was allowed.

All you have to do is look at who benefitted the most and you have your answer.

Funny, it's the same answer for a lot of bad shit that is allowed to happen in the world.

 

[Sandikan]

Nope, even with this headline not listening to anything from Galloway.

 

[rimaldo]

Nope, even with this headline not listening to anything from Galloway.

he was saying how that even if you see @Sandikan on the street, you shouldn’t spit at him.

 

[BuzzKillington]

He's a big United fan.

Grim. The bar has now unbelievably been set lower than Mick Hucknall, in the “worst person to support your club, not called @rimaldo ”debate.

 

[Kaos]

Grim, the man’s a massive twat. The bar has now unbelievably been set lower than Mick Hucknall, in the “worst person to support your club” debate.

I'd say Rachel Riley wins that accolade quite convincingly.

It’s a tight field tbh.
