Joel Glazer sets fan forum date (4th June)
- Thread starter UnitedSofa
- Start date
This is going to be held online right?
I obviously understand why, but it's a shame in a way that it's not an in-person event.

Even at that Woodward has reportedly said he feels he might have jumped to the decision too hastily.
In fairness to the man, he is a cnut that cares as much about football in general and Manchester United in particular as I care about American Sports. Thing is though, this is unprecedented for him/ them and after the fall out of the ESL plus us being closer to the title then ever since SAF, I can see this being an honest opportunity for them to change tactics and be more involved.
At the very least I feel this will be a summer of massive spending.
You offer options, not ultimatums.
50 + 1 or Glazers Out!
You don't meekly just say, please improve the stadium when face to face with Joel Glazer at the fan forum after saying Glazer's Out/50 + 1 everywhere else.
Mr Bean will be in attendance
Screw these MUST sellouts. They have sold themselves to the Glazers years ago if you haven't noticed. Or maybe you are with them given this cringy propaganda you just put out.
If that happens i'll be amazed.

It's a PR exercise from Joel. Questions in advance and scripted answers that deflect blame and fudge the truth.
I bet he's delighted Covid gives him the excuse of doing this over video link.
Nothing will change after this meeting. United will sign Danny Ings and what ever other bargain basement dross they can scrape together.
it should consist of some of the large YouTube perspnslities, someone from tifo football (fans that are educated with numbers and not just emotions) but also educated unknowns imo.
I really hope so. It’s the least the parasitic leech can do. But there’s a massively long road ahead.
I haven't noticed - so when exactly do you alledge that MUST 'sold themselves to the Glazers' ?
We’ll have spent big and announced an ambitious stadium regeneration plan (over the next 5 years) by the time of this meeting
To be fair, they've been acting high-and-mighty for years because they got to talk to Mr Billy-big-bollocks Woodward and they definitely think of themselves of some sort of appointment representatives of the fans.
They've been quite dismissive of fan channels, for example, and as much as people hate them, I don't think MUST are some sort of better fans.
So I can see why people would call them hypocrites when for years MUST have been propping the Glazers regime since they got exclusive access although they got nothing done with that access, except bragging rights.
Guaranteed to have a big transfer lined up for the 4th. Possibly Sancho, given all the leg work we've already put into it for the last 12 months.
Renovate the stadium you mugs.
It's going to be really interesting to see how this is actually put together and what questions and answers we get. Though I can see it being very tightly controlled, and little of actual concern addressed directly, with Joel throwing out some PR words about wanting to see us win the premier league again.
I had been critical of MUST in the past but I actually think they have done much better for the fans in recent years by working the club rather than fighting against them like in the past - they were a big part of the safe standing campaign for example, has also been big wins on ticketing with discounted youth tickets etc
They are the biggest fan group so have as much right as any to claim to represent the fans - but as mentioned previously, they have only 1 seat of 11 on the Fans Forum so many different groups are represented

Demand to change manager with modern entertaining attacking system for a world biggest club.
Bet he cannot wait to attend now.
No trophies in 4 years, No Prem title since Fergie left, a stadium falling apart, a manager who is out of his depth, the owners leading attempts to create a super league etc
If they were forced to answer the question we want answered, the forum would last a week.
A controlled effort to win over some fans. Feck off Glazers.

Let’s hear what the parasitic leech has to say about turning our fortunes around
"We lost a final?"
“I was devastated to see our defeat in the Myropa League final...”
So this is tomorrow, yeah? What bullshit are we expecting to hear?
There’s Money there for marquee players, love the club, we will communicate better and bla bla bla
Joel Glazer to appear with Jadon Sancho by his side.
Whoever ends up in this meeting best tell him straight, we will never be successful again when we have a bunch of clowns running the club! We always drag transfers on and then when it comes close to the end of the window we panic and buy someone we don’t need!
Chances of him pulling out last minute now and getting one of his puppet mouthpieces to attend on his behalf?
Buzzwords galore.
"Open a clear channel of communication where we can reach out to the fans."
"There will be recruitment but we are in unprecedented financial times..."
"There is a plan in place for stadium repairs..."
strange i was hopping/expecting we would have signed a big player by now to make it look like they are ready to spend
Do people want a constructive forum or do people want a bunch of angry fans asking loaded questions?
Can we have a bunch of angry fans throwing bricks at him?
A bit of both. They can't go easy on him.
Let be honest they won't have good answers for anything in the past really.
Let's only hope the answers for the future aren't blatant lies
I want to see Joel squirm.
Everyone is focussed on Joel but the biggest problem will be the people asking the questions.
I spent decades setting up community fora for local govt schemes and the most vocal become all "professional" in meetings with officials. If anyone has seen eddie Murphy's stand up it's basically his mate in court type of thing.
That said I hope Joel is honest. If people say are you selling the club he should tell them to feck off and stop wasting questions. If they say why didn't you buy Sancho for 120m same response or this ain't Monopoly money son type of thing.
Repairs to OT and future plans and what they have in mind is fair enough questions. Even the ESL and wtf were you thinking fine. Ole and his future fair enough, albeit he would probably want to discuss that with Ole first rather than Ole hearing it in this meeting.

“ Who is this Ol fella you speak about ?”
He can basically say anything, and once the meeting is over, go back on it. 'I'll spend some money, we want the club to do well, we'll listen more to the fans etc.' I imagine once he hits the end call button on the zoom he'll be grinning and flipping hos finger at the screen.
Stadium regeneration should be top of the list.
We've thrown good money after bad at the team so I don't see how criticism in that regard can stick but the neglect of the stadium has been a disgrace.

I hope the debt is thoroughly discussed. It's only there because of how they took over the club. Any additional spending to appease the fans simply adds to the debt of the club.
If they want to get fans onside, then they need to put in their own money, or sell shares to clear the debt, not line their own pockets like the last 16 years.
