I am hoping for their former manager to reassert himself. This accurate assessment of their situation by the consultant might lead to real solutions.

Far too much pro United stuff in the media again, so I'l try sending this to the Premier League again. This will be for the third time, no repsonse to the last two sent so don't hold your breath...

I would like to enquire whether there is any outstanding investigation, or whether any investigation at all was conducted, into the postponement of two Manchester United Home matches in recent years.

The first in May 2016 agisnt Bournemouth, due to a 'dummy' bomb being found in the toilets at Old Trafford. The second more recently in May 2021 against Liverpool due to protests held by Manchester United supporters against the club owners which saw these fans compromise ground secuirty by breaking into Old Trafford.

Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd stated of the first incident that it caused massive inconvenience to supporters who had come from far and wide to watch the match, wasted the time of huge numbers of police officers and the army's bomb squad and unnecessarily put people in danger.

Regarding the second incident, a Premier League statement acknowledged endangering of safety and regulation breaches by stating that "the the security and safety of everyone at Old Trafford remains of paramount importance. We understand and respect the strength of feeling but condemn all acts of violence, criminal damage and trespass, especially given the associated COVID-19 breaches"

Despite there I can find no evidence of an investigation into how the same club came to have two massive security failures that led to match cancellations and potentially endangered lives, and what, if anything, has been put in place by this club to prevent such security issues in the future, which otherwise could again lead to match cancellations and unsafe conditions.

According to the Premier League Handbook, rule K14 states that the home club must make sure that the players and match officials can enter and leave the stadium safely and that there is safe environment in which to play the match. Rule K13 also states that the players’ entrance as well as the parking area and the points of entry are adequately policed or stewarded. Regulation E20 says that clubs are responsible for their supporters and may be punished for any improper, violent, threatening, abusive, indecent behaviour, including the throwing of missiles.

It would seem that there must be questions over whether these rules were adhered to by Manchester Unmited sufficiently. Was an investigation started to review the incidents and to make recommendations to improve the situation?
