United thread 2020/21

[splinter]

A total and utter embarrassment. Sadly a poor reflection on Manchester too.

And only going one way..how ya feeling any better

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Just a bunch of sore losers and spoilt self entitled children. They have spent more money than half half the league put together over the last 10 years. I truly believe this would not have happened if City wernt going to win the PL today. I dont remember any riots when they won the PL in 2013.

Anybody who thinks otherwuse is equally deluded. Those involved sum their club up to a tee.

There is a video out which shows policeman attacking one United fan

One?

 

[waspish]

Exactly what I’d like to know.

Is it that the Glazers are taking money out of the club? Possibly, but they’ve also spent more money on transfers and wages than any other club in England:

2024-25 Manchester United F.C. Payroll Table

An updated look at the Manchester United F.C. 2024-25 payroll table, including team totals, retained figures, and complete breakdowns of player salaries, and bonuses.

Is it the European Super League stuff? Well that all ended last week, so why bother continuing to protest about it?

Is it against Woodward? Well, no, he’s resigned.

Is it against Solskjaer? Surely not, he’s got them in their best position since Gerguson left.

All I can fathom is that they’re fucking seeing their arses because despite spending more than City on transfers and wages since the Sheikh’s takeover of City, they’ve not won a league title for 8 years and haven’t challenged for once since; while City are taking over with the best manager and squad in Europe and they can’t handle it!

They thought that banner was going to keep on ticking over forever, and now it’s not they can’t handle it!

They don’t understand that in any other era of football, clubs have their time at the top and then fade away. They are so deluded and insecure that they can’t handle not being that too club anymore!

This isn’t about the Glazers, or the ESL, this is about Manchester City Football Club!

yep and next season they’ll have us Chelsea and Liverpool challenging they thought it was there year early season getting all Giddy just like Rio did.

 

[its a Barm]

I think they want owners who will spend a billion quid without putting the club into debt. They want owners who will build a successful team that plays brilliant football, wins lots of trophies and breaks records. They aspire to be the best team in Manchester, England and possibly Europe.

I wonder where they got this idea from?

Are they moving

 

[lionellettuce]

They are only protesting because Ed Woodward got sacked hahahaha

 

[manimanc]

I really hope the bastards are docked points. Enough to drop them out the top 4.

And the Glazers stay for many more years and absolutely bleed that shithouse club dry.

Fucking scum. I despise that club and everything about them.

 

[Don Karleone]

Glazers investing over £billion on players?

The bastards

So the Glazers aren’t stopping any of this stuff happening.

Is it the European Super League? Well that all ended last week, so why bother continuing to protest about it?

Is it against Woodward? Well, no, he’s resigned.

Is it against Solskjaer? Surely not, he’s got them in their best position since Ferguson left.

If they were genuinely serious about stopping the game. Once inside they could have dug up bits of turf and contaminated it with oil. Like the cricket wicket years ago. Numb as piss stones. Can’t even rebel properly.

Headingley 1975. George Davies.

 

[Cityzen_89]

Its because Ratboy essentially asked for this a week ago. He used words like “protest” “revolution” “take to the streets” in one of his rants. This is as much his doing as anyones

Don't forget "We have chopped the tree but need to go for the roots now" or something along those lines.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

big question that needs answering who let them in ?

Eh?

Perhaps it was the the tea lady preparing for an afternoon tea with sandwiches (prawn) on the green, perhaps a few Eccles cakes too; )

 

[bert38]

One?

There's a great one showing a fat rag refusing to move getting knocked over by an advancing police line.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking ratboy saying it was good natured might want to have a word with the policeman in hospital with a serious facial slash wound from being bottled by one of these “good natured” protesters, utter fucking scum vermin of a club

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

A sensible and balanced post from Red Cafe:


Fully agree with the principle of the protest, essentially what the fans set out to do. A massive, exuberant protest exclusively outside the stadium would have done though. The point is to achieve publicity, good for the fans/protesters and bad for the owners, by shedding light on how awful we have been run since 2005. The capital taken out with nothing put in, the total ignoring of the fans, hiring bankers to make footballing decisions etc.

When people start launching cameras, storming into the dressing room and breaking Covid bubbles, and attacking policemen innocently doing their jobs, then it’s too far. That turns a proper protest into a riot. Those who stormed the stadium and attacked the people and equipment inside were simply inhumane and a total disappointment. I can already see the coverage by Glazer puppet journalists in the next few days, painting the Glazers as victims to hooliganism. A lot of bad press which was meant for the Glazers has now been shifted to all United fans because of the actions of a few dozen idiots.

Also, I see people painting the stormtroopers getting the biggest game in England postponed as a victory. Yes, it shows the power of fans, but our protests getting the Super League cancelled is a better expression of that. Otherwise, it really isn’t. The Glazers probably did not even know we were playing today and will file this as water under the bridge when they are informed of it, a one-off thing.

What next for those people? Do this every game? The only thing that will happen if they do that is that we will either be docked points or not be able to fulfil fixture requirements and go down. Also, think of Ole and the players. Imagine preparing for matches all week and then not being able to play, followed by getting relegated because some clowns ‘decide when they play’ (really dislike that phrase as it brings the players, who clearly dislike the ownership as much as we do, into the situation). Let’s be honest, if they don’t continue, which they obviously shouldn’t because of the aforementioned repercussions, the only thing they’ve done today is further congest our fixture schedule. As for the fans who protested peacefully and properly, I can’t say how proud I am of you. You have actually played a part in trying to put our parasitic owners under a bad spotlight. You are proper United fans, and if I came from and lived in Manchester, I would have loved to be a part of you guys today.

So, back to my original point, I agree with the protest as a way to generate bad press towards the Glazers, but that will only play a small part in getting them out. If we are truthful, the best and possibly only way to get them out of our club without harming ourselves as fans, Ole and the players is with a complete boycott. Local fans don’t renew season tickets, fans from abroad don’t buy one off match tickets and the gift shop becomes a constant scene of desolation. If there’s minimal revenue, that maximises the chance of the Glazers selling up as there would be no point in holding on.

All of this is logical.

Why would the PL dock the rags any points? They were one of the five who had that dinner date with Greg Dyke and cooked up the whole thing in the first place, so anything negatively affecting them would be bad for business. As loads of you have said, had that been any other club (Liverpool aside), game forfeited and points deducted. You can't hurt the golden goose.

My personal favourite

 

[worsleyweb]

why Manchester ? think you will find this took place in trafford and salford

unfortunately they use our city’s name.

yep and next season they’ll have us Chelsea and Liverpool challenging they thought it was there year early season getting all Giddy just like Rio did.

That’s what it is, they all got giddy as fuck thinking it was their year again after seeing City and Liverpool takeover for the last few years... and they can’t fucking handle it that it’s not happened.

Without City and Sheikh Mansour, United would be 4 points clear with a game in hand at the top of the league. Does anyone think for one second, that if City were in mid table, that United fans would be protesting today?!
