Weren’t Everton also demanding a full explanation from the league as to why it was cancelled?

United control this countries football and the media, it’s obvious to anyone who is willing to see it.
As I frequently say, the fact them and Liverpool Have interviewed at least 1 current premier league executive. Tells you all you need to know.

Nothing will happen, and United will become the victims, the narrative is already shifting!

Utd have got the money. They are second in the league and about to get to a Euro final. I suspect that they feel a fans 50 +1 model would give them Bayern Munich like status. The German model has good and bad points, a one team league is a bad point, but that's what many Utd fans yearn for. What sort of mentality thinks a banner about their neighbours lack of success is ok. They are only happy if dominating.

Exactly. That twat on MOTD the other night was a joke. Banging out about making things fairer in terms of money when his club has led the charge for over 40 years in making the distribution of wealth less equitable. What he means, of course, is that he doesn't want wealthy owners to be able to invest in clubs when his club's owners won't (make no mistake, he wouldn't give a shit if Sheikh Mansour was taking money out of City and the Glazers were pumping money in). I guarantee he's not in favour of sharing, for example, 75% of Champions League money with the lower leagues, or sharing more than a token amount from the Premier League deal with the lower leagues, because that will affect his clubs bottom line and unfair advantage.

The sad thing is that none of them realise that the ESL was just the logical end point of the changes they've been championing for decades. When you speak to rags and dippers, they make a big point of insisting that they only spend what they earn themselves, never once touching on why they are earning so much more than the rest of the league in the first place. They genuinely think it's because they've earned it rather than because they've rigged football in their own favour. They're like the trust fund kid who thinks he's rich because he worked hard and invested well.
 
Pete Boyle (Man Utd fan and singer) - compared yesterday’s shenanigans to the suffragette movement said the postponement was an unfortunate consequence (wonder if he will feel the same if they get a points deduction). Said there were protests in 1998 and that people turned up at Old Trafford yesterday and it wasn’t even a match day. The deluded fuckwit was allowed to state all this without being challenged on any of it. He thinks ALL supporters want club ownership discussing in Parliament

At end of the day we are all meant be football fans, as much as we dislike united, Liverpool etc. We shouldn’t be in joy that their clubs are getting ruined by greedy businessmen.
You never know 1 day maybe our oil money dries up and we are bought out by a greedy American owner who bleeds the club dry. We wouldn’t like that , it’s about protecting the game, protecting football and what is right.

There is no class in kicking the enemy when they are down because we are ok. You never know what is round the corner.

Football has been around a longer time then all of us alive today. If things don’t change regarding rules and ownerships then football as we know it will not survive. The rich will get richer , clubs which are the beating heart of cities will seize to exist, the game will be ruined. We need all be united against this and stand up for what’s right about football.
The clubs belong to the fans !

Reading between the lines , i think you look sexy .
 
I don't agree that United 'the club' should have points docked because their fans were out of control. Ultimately the stewards employed by United have very little power to stop protesters. If any blame is to be attached it should land squarely on the fans who took part. Criminal charges should follow for those who attacked the police.

Also the police might want to consider why their intelligence was non-existence for this event that everyone but them seemed to be aware was going to happen.
 
Had Mansour and co not taken over our club, had Abramovich ran off due to political issues, had clubs essentially remained the same, would it really affect United this much? The whole point of the protest is that owners aren't investing right? So this very model would have been deemed immaculate and genius if the success kept coming and the funds kept getting spent? Because the other clubs simply did not pose a threat.

Let's not get it confused. These very voices kept silent after that initial rage till the end of Fergie's tenure. They just come and go every few years as long as Glazers make a star signing or two every summer. The issues run much much deeper, and arrogance plays a big factor in it.

The sad facts are united was never in debt till 2005 when the glazers took over and put them in debt.
Owners shouldn’t be able to do this and the fact they take dividend payments out of the club is morally wrong.
I understand the united fans frustration and I believe all of us as fans should unite to stop these evil people ruining our football clubs.
