Over the years there have been several protests about the owners, most notably the green and gold campaign and yesterday's protests. What they have in common is they took place when the team was no longer top of the league.
The green and gold campaign soon died down when we started to win the league again in two of Fergie's last three seasons, even though the writing was on the wall and then some.
It's no good only protesting when the side aren't matching expectations, which for United should be winning, or at least realistically challenging for the league, and being in the mix in the later stages of the Champions League.
As soon as we won the league in 07 the protests and movements against the Glazers disappeared from the public eye only to return when we lost Ronaldo and Tevez in the same window and replaced them with Owen, Obertan and Valencia.
Then we started winning the league again the green and gold flags started to disappear but all it did was enable the Glazers to continue to rinse the club and line their own pockets.
I guess what I am trying to say is there needs to be a constant and consistent protest against our owners, not just when they want to join a European Super League and don't buy the superstar players we want.
