That’s unfortunately the truth.I'm with you this makes me feel sick. But if anything the Glazers are never leaving now. They are set to become a lot richer now for ever. And even if all of us never bought a ticket again they would probably move our games to some stadium in Asia
It was quite impactful at the games to see the Newton Heath colours and the Glazers apparently hate it. I’m not saying we just change the forum colours but we can start there for sure and lead the way.Ye lets change the forum colours that'll teach them
Someone actually created a thread with this IIRCYe lets change the forum colours that'll teach them
Sadly it wasn't impactful enough to change anything, I don't think there's anything the fans can do that can actually change things at the club, the amount of money at play is too large for anything to change.It was quite impactful at the games to see the Newton Heath colours and the Glazers apparently hate it.

The one thing fans can do is what fans never do - boycott matches, boycott club merchandise. Actually hit them in the pocket. But it never materialises. We're screwed... If this goes ahead, and it looks like it will, I'm done with the club.

With a club as big as Manchester United you can't organize a big enough boycott to impact the club financially, maybe fans dissatisfaction with the recent news can lead to something but I think there's a very low chance of that happening.The one thing fans can do is what fans never do - boycott matches, boycott club merchandise.

That's because all fans (die-hard and less die-hard) would need to organise around the cause on a global scale which is unlikely to ever happen.The one thing fans can do is what fans never do - boycott matches, boycott club merchandise.

I don’t know if you stand for something or not in this matter, one thing is clear: Trying to shoot down ways to express resistance to the Glazer’s, Agnelli’s and Perez’ mutiny, you are effectively supporting it wether you like it or not.Green and Gold is a total waste of time and effort, this Super League is the dream scenario for Glazers and other American owners it’s why they bought into the clubs.
Only way to have an impact is no one buy a season ticket, no one go the ground next season, let them keep playing in front of banners. Zero chance of that happening though.
Enough fans are fickle, Green and Gold until club is sold was forgotten as soon as we got better, if we start next season well a lot of this uproar will be forgotten.
No Green and Gold exactly why Glazers can get away with this, it’s half hearted. Wearing a scarf while still lining the owners pockets, the loyalty fans show even if they are unhappy is why Premier League is so attractive. Wear the scarves and watch Glazers keep doing whatever whey want. It’s a nice idea and makes people feel like their doing something but that’s it, fans has chance to stop this by buying shares (I did) but they weren’t interested, they’d rather have a shirt or a scarf.I don’t know if you stand for something or not in this matter, one thing is clear: Trying to shoot down ways to express resistance to the Glazer’s, Agnelli’s and Perez’ mutiny, you are effectively supporting it wether you like it or not.
Green and Gold is one of many ways to express antipathy to this takeover, and it is not forgotten (in evidence), and it is not easily misunderstood.
I bought shares too. Some people got g and g scarves AND boicotted. There are different levels and ways of opposition. The ones paying and going to games with g and g are likelier to take a sharper step next time compared to those paying and not wearing g’n’g - in the eyes of themselves, the media, the club and the owners. G’n’g is a simple and visual way of expressing loyalty to the historical club and opposition to the current club hierarchy at the same time. Sometimes such expressions are enough to provoke changes, other times, more is needed. More - not less. Larger crowds taking sharper measures of resistance is built on the back of such expressions - not in competition with it.No Green and Gold exactly why Glazers can get away with this, it’s half hearted.

Exactly, it isn’t a silver bullet but it is a very visual way of showing our displeasure and just one of many strategies.Green and Gold is one of many ways to express antipathy to this takeover, and it is not forgotten (in evidence), and it is not easily misunderstood.
Yes, it’s probably the only way to halt the development the greediest owners are pushing for.It’s an absolute fantasy that the Glazers might be bought out by some sort of altruistic sugar daddy that comes with zero baggage.
The best we can hope for and something all supporters clubs should be campaigning for right now is mandatory supporters club ownership of a portion of shares that carry enough voting rights to veto the owners.
This might just be the time where there is enough appetite nationwide to force this through.
Yes I'm sure UEFA will shoot themselves in the foot and pay BACK all the revenue from the cancelled CL/EL finals to broadcasters all around the world...Is the season going to finish. Uefa have confirmed utd have withdrawn from their euro club association also
Does this mean EL will be banished.
what about CL? Will PSG be given CL by default as city, real and chelsea are punished?
Something is very wrong right now
In addition, withdrawing all banners of support from Old Trafford for the remainder of the season is a minimum. Replace it with green and gold messages.I think the only course of action is to block all entrances to Old Trafford. If enough people stand in the way of the entrances and players and fans can't get in then the games won't go ahead.
the big clubs are only doing this because together they have UEFA by the balls. This season will play out as normal. I think so far it’s all just a rough negotiating tactic.Is the season going to finish. Uefa have confirmed utd have withdrawn from their euro club association also

I am just curious as to how it would work and What are the legal measures to push it through?. the parliament?.It’s an absolute fantasy that the Glazers might be bought out by some sort of altruistic sugar daddy that comes with zero baggage.
