The club is nearly 150 years old and has had a lot worse moments than losing a sponsor.If you can’t see that this is the only way to get the Glazer’s to listen, you haven’t been paying attention.People thinking this is good is horrible. This will ensure we go further behind the oil and oligarch clubs.
United fans will never win a war of attrition with the Glazers. It’s totally one sided.
What’s next? People saying good we didn’t qualify for the CL as that would mean more money for the Glazers?
Ole and the team are already facing the brunt of the previous protest by having to play 4 games in 8 days but that’s just a temporary pain.
Do fans really want to create permanent pain by going behind the oil clubs in market power?
Without the protest and breaking into the stadium, there is no guarantee this happened. The momentum gained from last Sunday has snowballed into what we're seeing now.Been championing this type of action instead of breaking into the stadium and many posters said I and others were daft and naive.
£200m sponsorship deal gone Who's naive now?
You must realise that the match day protest was a catalyst to these sort of digital protests. They might have eventually happened but until the protest, they hadn’t and now they have.It motivated people and brought the issue to the attention of the world.Been championing this type of action instead of breaking into the stadium and many posters said I and others were daft and naive.
£200m sponsorship deal gone Who's naive now?
In what way have they come to the table and engaged?So this is why they’ve finally come to the table and engaged.
They own 78% of the club. 150 years of history means absolutely nothing.The club is nearly 150 years old and has had a lot worse moments than losing a sponsor.If you can’t see that this is the only way to get the Glazer’s to listen, you haven’t been paying attention.
Only to those willing to accept that.They own 78% of the club. 150 years of history means absolutely nothing.

By Joel Glazer sending two letters - one of which responding to MUST demands - and talking about fan purchase of shares, government legislation of fan representation at board level and infrastructure investment on stadium/training facilities - and agreeing to attend the fan forum later this month. After 16 years of absolute silence that is engagement. It’s only words but I personally think they have to follow it up with actions. It’s about getting solid commitments with timelines and holding them to account now which I trust MUST to do.In what way have they come to the table and engaged?
I mean it doesn’t mean anything from the perspective of the preserving the current financial value of the club and the loss we will incur if we don’t remain competitive.Only to those willing to accept that.
So it’s their club and theirs alone and we as fans shouldn’t have any problems with screwing things up for them?They own 78% of the club. 150 years of history means absolutely nothing.
The only way we can get rid of them is by getting better as a business that enables them to exit. Reducing the cost of their asset via protests and intimidation of sponsors isn’t going to get them a buyer who can afford to buy the club from them.
All it does is destroys our chances to remain competitive. For example, forget about buying Sancho now while all other clubs around us strengthen. We are cutting the very branch we are sitting on.
These sponsorship deals don't happen overnight. This would have been discussed for a while. All new prospective sponsors will be carrying out extensive market research before committing to such a big financial outlay. Aint nobody going to want to be having their name attached to a football club who's fans are blatantly attempting to attack their sponsors in any way they can.What action angry letter to the sponsors ?
How much did we get off Chevrolet and Adidas, close to a billion and the dept has increased, the stadium is becoming a relic, we haven’t challenged for the league since those 2 deals either, they went into paying the interest on the dept as would this.People demanding owners to clear debts and make some big name signings then applauding when we lose 200 million???
Well said!How much did we get off Chevrolet and Adidas, close to a billion and the dept has increased, the stadium is becoming a relic, we haven’t challenged for the league since those 2 deals either, they went into paying the interest on the dept as would this.
It’s probably best you put him on your ignore listJust waiting for alexthelion and a few others to come in and start going now look what you guys did…. Poor glazers can’t win with ungrateful fans like us
We already have one in the thread, but no doubt the rest will follow to save their favourite owners from the incoming shots, prime De Gea-style.Just waiting for alexthelion and a few others to come in and start going now look what you guys did…. Poor glazers can’t win with ungrateful fans like us
