Are you a red in disguise. Why be putting this out there at this time. Trying to drag up decades old stuff to make the idiots of yesterday look not as dispicable?

I urge the mods to delete this pathetic attempt at negativity.

I don’t think it’s trying to be negative mate. I was there & it was a protest, but I don’t remember it kicking off. So it makes them look even more stupid in my opinion

Respect your opinion - but just don’t see the point of peddling this at this moment.
We have enough enemies trying to downplay our incredible achievements this season, without our own regurgitating our more difficult periods.
Let’s put the emphasis on the good stuff going on.

What are you talking about? It’s part of City’s history. We were overturning chairmen when these amateurs were out there hunting glory, thinking it would always be like that.

It's dated from April 16 2020 and it's a really good read, some nice photos of maine Road, I don't think the OP is trying to be a wind up.

Now, Raggy’s, THAT’S what you call a protest.

The thing was that since our last trophy in 1976, we'd had 17 years of failure under Swales until Franny took over. It'd been 11 when the Swales Out movement first started in 1987, as per that article and we'd been relegated twice at that point.

United have spent hundreds of millions in the 15 years since the Glazers took over and the worst that's happened is that they've occasionally finished outside the top 4, while winning 5 PL's, along with 7 other major trophies including the CL and EL, along the way. Probably win another EL as well this season. That's excluding the Community Shield and Club World Cup.
