Agreed.
Just like the way I and every other football fan now refuse to buy petrol.

Or red bull products for that matter
To be fair I won’t touch Nivea.
I heard spotify lost millions of Madrid subscribers this year…. Oh wait, yeah that didn’t happen.
Imagine thinking most of the World give a monkies feck where their phone or laptop maker invests their money
who do you propose as the owners then, greenpeace?
not saying you're wrong with your criticism of apple, but samsung do the same, and all of us here use one of their phones. there is culpability for all of us just participating in the modern world.
Sounds legitOk everybody send the money to me. I'll put the bid in name of the Caf
basically the owners needs to be
rich enough to buy UAE
have made their money by being nice to people
have a doctorate in human rights law
have a CV that includes running major football clubs
have experience as a DOF
be a lifelong United fan that grew up in Manchester

Have you not heard about all the people refusing to board or land at Heathrow airport because it’s 20% owned by Qatar?I heard spotify lost millions of Madrid subscribers this year…. Oh wait, yeah that didn’t happen.

Not use Ed Woodward as a consultant.. or in any capacity
By all the people do you mean the 0.01% of Karen's who shout the loudest on twitter?
If Apple bought United all you'd see is a few unwashed scouse prats posting pics online of them holding smashed up 10 year old iPhones
Ed Woodward will see this as an opportunity to right the wrongs of the past.
In Ed we believe.

I wasn't trying to attack people wanting Apple as the new owners, more the notion that Apple's rep is squeaky clean in contrast to the much maligned 'oil states', when in fact, Apple got probably the worst rep of any major international companies when it comes to violating worker's rights. And this has followed Apple for atleast 15 years, so it's not like this is some sudden issue. More I found it interesting that many still doesn't know about this, even though Apple is the most valueable and recognisable brand (maybe Aramco has overtaken them in value now due to the current situation) in the world. Also with the timing, considering what is going on at the major Apple factory in China right now. And yes, this has been an issue for pretty much all of the major ICT companies the past decades (PC manufacturers like HP and the likes got most of the flak in the laptop's heyday).
I think many are indirectly culpable if you look deeper into things, but can't blame people for not managing/wanting to keep up. It's too inconvenient for people to boycott ICT products. And that can probably be transferred to being an football fan of an English top club also - what's more convenient, having controversial owners that brings success or having bad owners (with a mostly clean CV) that slowly ruins your club?

Don't Samsung have a large part of the South Korean military, they are above the gov there.
I'm suddenly realising I might be from a family of nutters in that we DO purposely avoid buying stuff from rival team sponsors.
Although I think the stance has softened in recent years. Remember when we were buying a new TV in the 90s and even though we liked the JVC one more, we bought the Sharp.

What wrongs? He did exactly what the owners wanted him to do.

This is basically like the terms fathers put when someone asks for their daughter's hand in marriage
- rich but generous
- has a house with no mortgage
- car available 24/7
- guaranteed lifelong job with obscene pay
- good family heritage
You're never gonna find anyone like this
Yep.That was the other big one that was actively avoided!I have trained my brain into thinking that Carlsberg tastes like piss, something I still think to this day

There is no content and Apple aren't touching United.
Yes please.
My last car came with Yokohama tires during the period when they were sponsoring Chelsea. I should have told the company I'll take it without the tires.
Personally I just push my car to work every day as a FU to the saudis.
Should have sent them on loan to a a much smaller car in Europe for 8 years before selling them.
And recruit players based on redcafe poll results
Make substitutions based on match day thread
Complete any transfer activity even before the window is open
Never recruit players older than 24 years
Turn Old Trafford into Gold Trafford
The fact that Woody is coming back to the fold worries me greatly...
I still won't buy Crown Paints.I'm suddenly realising I might be from a family of nutters in that we DO purposely avoid buying stuff from rival team sponsors.

He's not coming back to the fold, he is working with the Glazers on the sale not in any capacity for Manchester United.
Would be entertaining to have a poll, like with the new permanent manager last year.
Don't forget that 24 year olds in 5 years are 29, which is almost 30.
Yeah trust Goldbridge to do video on it
Woody helped bring us the Glazers, the least he can do is help to feck them off
Couldn't have phrased it any better
Woodward will do as he did before. Make sure the Glazers get the best possible deal and feck United.
WOW and they call me negative
It does, it’s weak pathetic beer.I have trained my brain into thinking that Carlsberg tastes like piss, something I still think to this day
Nonsense. The ridiculous posts in here today are something to behold.
Woodward will be a conduit for the Glazer family and potential buyer.
The highest bidder will buy the club. So Woodward isn’t going to just sell to some random guy for a Twix and packet of Hob Nobs.
The party who offer the most money will purchase Utd. And it’s going to be an organisation who is absolutely loaded because they’ll be required to have deep pockets.
This isn’t the same situation as buying Chelsea. The opportunity to buy a historic club the size of Utd rarely, if ever, comes along. There are going to be behemoths like Apple and Saudis lining up resulting in a bidding war. Ironically, both the fans AND the Glazers will get what they want this time.
Saying that, a portion of our fanbase won’t like who ends up owning Utd due to ethical reasons but in no way does Ed Woodward have the means to ‘feck over Utd’ and why would he anyway? The club were good to him and paid him a fortune in his time here. Sure, a few idiots visited his house but in general, EW was given a lot of money and power for his role as Chief Executive of Manchester United.
Some of the negativity and paranoia in here over the last 48 hours is ridiculous. Some of you are never, ever happy.
