You want to support a plastic club?
That's the issue. You are asking people to do something you yourself can't even do. I've said it before, but demanding match going fans stop attending matches in protest b/c the team is not winning is a selfish request. For some, attending matches is what they look forward to after a week of work and life. Crazy to ask them to deprive themselves of that because you think the team isn't winning enough.
We sell our souls to noodle snack sponsors. We are nothing other than a brand these days. The football world has changed dramatically since the billionaires came long. Sadly we got one who liked to take money out of the club rather than pump it in.You want to support a plastic club?
People who think Glazers are any better are delusional. They have sucked the life and a billion quid out of our club.
So you do want to support a plastic club.
Also, the bolded is not true, but I'm sure you already knew that.
If we say 30% of matchday goers is realistic to influence to drop Going to stadium, its not really much and wont have a big effect Im afraid.
That might be 30m less income a year. The income from matchday revenue is not a big part of the commercial cake - its about 1/5 or 1/6 I believe. Check the black squares on this graph. It wont shake the trousers of people who already have the pockets full. A boycot of the commercial side would have more effect
It is true though sadly. We've spent very close to a billion pound on interest payments and dividends since 2005. Money we won't ever get back and guess what......still loads of debt remains. More interest will be paid.
No, it's not true. Corporate finance doesn't work like that. Interest payments don't count as "taking money out" when the original debt is used to fund club operations. Dividends only started in 2015 (the total amount isn't that much IIRC). You and others are getting really bad information.
And rightly so as you say you were supporting us since 70's, so did you chant "ta ra fergie" in 89
And we had some dire ones also under him prior to him finally getting it right. You're right there is "no coincidence" as the decline started when Fergie bought the likes of owen,Valencia to replace tevez, CR7 and his and gills infamous bs about no value in the market.
She cant as she to busy cleaning the diesel back up engines on her so called eco friendly boat she sails around and then flies, yes carbon footprint leaving pilots in to bring her home.
Well here were are. All either
- moaning at how shite we are
- we made a sterling effort
- applauding Scousepool (my god worse than that 1st two points)
We are now missing Rashford for well 6 weeks? No signings in Jan so far. The Fernandes negotiation is a classic Ed & Matt cock up. Oops sorry Ed does not deal with transfers - yep!!
Fans have been smelling the coffee for too long action is now required. Acceptance that the Scousers are going to dominate is not on the agenda, particularly with the hypnotist routine being played out by the Regime.

Sad replying to my own post after the Scouserpool game. Well here we are after Burnley. 3 signings are required before the 1st otherwise we are going to see a terrible run of results here 5th will turn into 16th very easily.
19m in dividends has just been taken out by the Adams family and we are mucking Sporting around. It beggars belief.
No of the ex Utd pro's are being totally direct in their assessment - too much fence sitting. Some high profile supporter or ex player is needed to come out and slam the whole Regime. This along with increased match day "noise!" will start to ratchet things up. Any media campaign requires fans willing to put some money into an organised group to start to undermine the Ed PR machine. Its all about organisation now.
