Are they selling?
Does it strike as odd why no such demonstrations are taking place?Yes there need to be demonstrations around the city and outside the FA headquarters.
It’s not changing. As I’ve said all summer, any protest against the Glazers that isn’t leaving your seat empty, is ultimately pointless.Nothing will happen. OT fans have watched us drop to this without a whimper, so why expect that to change?
Thats not true at all. The amount is around 20m a year the last four years (after we were listed at NYSE). Before that: nothing. So total like 78m I think it is over 15 years. To all shareholders, not just the Glazers.That's not true though.
The Glazers have taken out a substantial amount in dividends every year - to the tune of £15m a year, along with the rest of the shareholders,
Of course they would. But for the right price. I’m willing to bet they’re looking way more than the market value of the club. I’d say 4Bn quid which would be 1Bn over our valuation.Are they selling?
we should be targeting where it hurts the most. stop buying/renewing season tickets, stop buying merch, stop tv subs inc mutv... once the feel it in the pockets thats when they'll listen or at least acknowledge our pain. Otherwise, as long as money keeps coming in, wtf.It’s not changing. As I’ve said all summer, any protest against the Glazers that isn’t leaving your seat empty, is ultimately pointless.
If you have a season ticket for the coming season, you may aswell try and enjoy it. Have a sing song with your pals, make some new heroes on the pitch, take up binge drinking...
Ask yourself why the season ticket holders have shown no interest in protesting.It’s not changing. As I’ve said all summer, any protest against the Glazers that isn’t leaving your seat empty, is ultimately pointless.

Sorry but the Glaziers sign off the expenditure for ED. No fan , but he does as he is told. We spent 2 months haggling for Maguire and ended up paying more.Again, we've made attempts to sign a number of midfielders this summer. That we failed to secure any of them is hardly down to the Glazers. The club chairman controls transfer fees and contract negotiations, not the owners. You should redirect your anger at Ed Woodward.
I'm no fan of the Glazers, for what it's worth, it was solely their decision to appoint David Moyes as Fergie's successor. One of, if not the, worst managerial appointments in the history of the sport. We are where we are today because of that appointment. Everyone and their dog knew the only logical choice was Jose Mourinho, yet for reasons only known to themselves, they went with an absolute nobody. And now we, and they, are paying the price for it.

Perhaps they feel there is no just cause for protest at this point. I don't know for sure as I'm not a matchgoer myself - too tight and broke for that.Not being confrontational, genuinely would like to know why?
We can only hope it's because they are looking to sell the club.Past 2 seasons we've made over £500m in revenue and only had a net spend of £70m two summers in a row. What a joke. They've taken us for a ride yet again.
No, that was Jose's second stint in charge of Chelsea. We could have had him after his Real days when he was still the top dog. If I recall correctly, he was practically begging for the job in the media.Sorry but the Glaziers sign off the expenditure for ED. No fan , but he does as he is told.

Jose had nearly relegated Chelsea and had a complete breakdown, he wasn't a sensible choice....but that is history.
They listened to Ferguson with the moyles appt.
If anything how the Glazers have handled United financially over the last 4-5 years indicates the exact opposite: that they are not selling anytime soon. The increasing amount spent on wages the last couple of years have reduced our EBITDA and its not something a prospective seller would do. They will be around for at least 5 years more.We can only hope it's because they are looking to sell the club.
Glazers should have appointed DOF in that case. It is Glazers fault completely.You're not accounting for the fact that at the time of the Glazer's takeover, United were in possession of one of the best teams in Europe. There was no need for huge transfer market investment, just the occasional signing here and there to keep the current squad on its toes and competitive.
However, after Fergie retired and the fecking awful decision to replace him with David Moyes inevitablly blew up in their faces, they have invested heavily and consistently. That our managers wasted that investment is not on the shoulders of the Glazers.
I think a DoF would be a step in the right direction for sure.Glazers should have appointed DOF in that case. It is Glazers fault completely.
Only in the last 4-5 years or so.That's not true though.

Good for you. Me too. If everyone kept away, we may be able to get rid of them quickly. Football clubs are like a cult/religion though, the fans are easy pickings for businessmen.That bunch of wankers have me in a rage milking our club dry and not building our club. They are destroying mufc. I for one will NOT attend or spend a penny on the brand till they are gone and we have new owners who want to build us back. Please excuse the choice language but Feck Glazers and the board out
This.Glazers / Woodward are going nowhere, they're getting richer by the week. Support Ole and support the kids, f*ck the rest.

Bollocks...If I come home from work tomorrow and see that this thread has hit 40 pages or (quite likely) a lot higher, I'm gonna need a drink.
You could be right there mate, would be like cutting the blood sucking part off of the mosquito.Getting glazers out is almost an impossible task. I think there should be a whole serious movement against Ed. It's should be as intensive as the one against the glazers a few years ago. Let's pick an easier battle
And then you woke up?I could be completely off here but I feel like the owners still don't have complete faith in Solskjaer
With the way we feel apart towards then end of last season and his lack of high level managerial experience then don't want to go all in financially. Yes we bought Maguire, but that was a area everyone knew we had to fix, with or without Ole.
I think they'll give him some time, see how he is doing and if they feel confident, more of the big transfers will happen
Triple rum and coke with another triple rum instead of the coke. And a triple rum instead of a glass.Bollocks...
Shouldn't have hired him then. They either back him or bring in someone else and back them. Either way, a club of this size shouldn't be run like this.I could be completely off here but I feel like the owners still don't have complete faith in Solskjaer
