Good, maybe it will provide the backlash needed to keep Davey there for at least one more season.

adrianr said:Somehow "the gift that keeps on giving" doesn't quite encapsulate just how brilliant this whole episode is. The speech from Ferguson, the media, the plane.. It's got to be a comedy sketch. Got to be.

Anyway, Hawksbee and Jacobs interviewed the pilot for the banner on their show - or so they thought. Apparently this pilot is taking up a different banner to the Moyes Out one but would not say what would be on it as his client had sworn him to secrecy.
Ah yes, 'united not for sale'. Another prescient moment from united's Mystic Meg support.Blue Punter said:Ducado said:[bigimg]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BjxTPUSIUAA5LeN.jpg:large[/bigimg]
Utd fans have a great record with this sort of "direct action".
Racing at Hereford on Friday was disrupted by a demonstration against the involvement of racing tycoons John Magnier and JP McManus in Manchester United.
A group of about 30 supporters carrying banners declaring "Quit the horseplay Coolmore" and "United not for sale" went onto the track before the 1620 GMT race.
Magnier, owner of the Coolmore breeding empire, is in dispute with Ferguson over the stud rights to racehorse Rock of Gibraltar.
McManus, who together with Magnier holds a 25.49% stake in the club via their company Cubic Expression, was represented by Majestic Moonbeam in the beginners' chase.
The protestors strung their banners across the open ditch, causing a delay of 10 minutes before security staff escorted them from the track.
It is believed neither McManus or Magnier was present.
The group, calling themselves the Manchester Education Committee (MEC), threatened to stage further protests at minor race meetings and a "spectacular" event which all the club's fans will be urged to attend.
In a statement, the group said it has no interest in horse racing, but felt this was "the most effective way of applying pressure on Coolmore when it comes to the ownership and running of Manchester United."
It added: "We wish to make clear that we originally had little or no interest in the ensuing legal action between Sir Alex Ferguson and Coolmore, it being a matter for the Irish courts to decide.
"This action will hopefully make Coolmore aware of the scope of the options open to the MEC. This was a small, relatively insignificant protest orchestrated by invitation only.
"Meanwhile the MEC's intention is to hit more minor meetings such as Hereford until such time as Coolmore bow to the demands of the MEC."
There are fears the protests could spread to other higher profile meetings, such as Sandown on Saturday.
Mission accomplished. They forced Coolmore to sell up. To erm, The Glazers.
I would fucking piss myself if that banner went over the cesspit tomorrow, please let it be real.smudgedj said:
