A bit cringe but if it gets them talking in the board room then you never know what snowballs.
Not really. Most of suggestions will be to sack Woodward and hire a competent DoF. We're past asking for specific players.It's stupid and a case of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Why hurt your own club when we rely on boasting about our numbers to generate ad revenue?
I guarantee you if you ask 90% of those fans who gleefully #UnfollowUnited what their suggestion is to fix things, their answer would be this:
Buy: Sancho, Koulibaly, Alderweireld, Wan Bissaka, Fernandes and Felix
Where do they think the money going to come from to pay for that?

And who is going to hire the competent DOF? The Glazers?Not really. Most of suggestions will be to sack Woodward and hire a competent DoF. We're past asking for specific players.
I can understand where you are coming from but doing nothing means nothing will change. At least people are making an effort even though it might fail.How times have changed, hoarse before the game having murdered "We will follow United....." when we were shite, and I mean proper shite.
People do this as a way to try to force the owners to take action or make them more inclined to sell the club. MUFCs whole business strategy is to monetize the global reach of our club, either through merchandize or sponsorships.It's stupid and a case of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Yeah because they are going to read the tweets and apply it, right ? People tweet them to announce signings all the day during summer.And who is going to hire the competent DOF? The Glazers?
There must be another way to get through to the club. How about we twitter United to hire an experienced DOF? Scaring sponsors away will just further destabilise the club if this is successful. Getting new sponsors would be a bitch because we currently serve up shite on the pitch.
Should I start following the account first and then unfollow?
"follows Pogue around, fixing his images"I never followed in the first place. First never follows.
I would not hold my breathWould be fantastic if it took off and we manage to have a detrimental impact on our ability to negotiate sponsorship deals, pay top transfer fees and wages.
No I don't think buying players is the be all end all. Getting a manager who can make his team better than the sum of their parts like Sir Alex did or Klopp is doing now with Liverpool is how I see us challenging, not by spending hundred of millions every summer. You contradicted yourself in those paragraphs because the whole make the owners more inclined to sell is in reality hoping for Saudi's to buy us which will give us an unlimited budget. While we don't have unlimited funds, we do have a healthy amount to spend which will be less if our own fans tarnish our image with social media crusades like this.People do this as a way to try to force the owners to take action or make them more inclined to sell the club.

You obviously think that if we buy those players (if we could attract all of them) then we will be a top 4 club again and we are all good. Well, if you drop a stone enough times from a certain height, it might learn to fly...
Us being shit affects those things more than Twitter followers.Would be fantastic if it took off and we manage to have a detrimental impact on our ability to negotiate sponsorship deals, pay top transfer fees and wages.
No one is arguing they are; people are saying they are incompetent. Giving contracts to Young and Jones and letting players like Herrera run their contracts down is disastrous from both a playing and financial point of view.We should stop being a spoiled fans.
We've swept everything under the britain sky for 25 years, some corrections are due. Just because we didnt win the league for 5 years doesnt mean the board is some evil mastermind who doesnt want to win. Efforts are being taken, academy are being revamped, we're trying new stuff, the board keep on pumping money to fix this mess. Give them some benefits of doubt.
Plastic fans10k followers less in 2 days is not bad.
No cringe IMV. And in hindsight, the Woodward banner is probably the most sensible thing the fans have displayed in 6 years.A bit cringe but if it gets them talking in the board room then you never know what snowballs.
First thing first. Who decides which player to keep and who to let go?No one is arguing they are; people are saying they are incompetent. Giving contracts to Young and Jones and letting players like Herrera run their contracts down is disastrous from both a playing and financial point of view.
The only constant during this period has been the board. That might give you a clue as to the root cause of our position.We should stop blaming everything on the next availble thing, we blamed moyes, lvg, jose, ed, ole, and now the board. They're paying top dollars to keep martial, young, de gea, etc. Even if it's a move i disagree strongly the intention to keep us competing is there, they just havent find the fix.
They're also the constant when we won under fergie. Nobody's complaining then.The only constant during this period has been the board. That might give you a clue as to the root cause of our position.
I think you'll find Fergie was here long before these owners or this board. And I think you'll also find plenty were complaining about these owners from the minute they took over the club.They're also the constant when we won under fergie. Nobody's complaining then.
Woodward is the thing who is constant is that crap period then. He witnessed the full six years and all his decisions about the club has been an absolute disaster. He wasn't the CEO in Fergie years.They're also the constant when we won under fergie. Nobody's complaining then.
You clearly didn't pay much attention then.They're also the constant when we won under fergie. Nobody's complaining then.
It will cause a board reacting if it makes national news and the drop off is millions of people.A bit cringe but if it gets them talking in the board room then you never know what snowballs.
