Video footage of the violence towards GMP at the start and during the protests. Loads of bottles being thrown at GMP officers.

For some reason, only GMP know why, GMP TAG(helmets, body armour, shields, etc) weren’t deployed before or during the demonstration.

Note: ’Some’ Man Utd fans.(BBC News at it’s best)

Manchester United fans sentenced after protest turned violent

Some Man Utd fans were protesting against the Glazer family's ownership of the club last year.

It's great the GMP nicked them really good but it just makes more mad that the dipperforce couldnt nick one dipper for the coach attack.

Two different police forces run differently I guess.

What was utd fine for the stewards letting them ?

Fuck Apple, I'd be willing to boycott air or water if necessary. Still won't buy anything made by Sharp.

Would love to see what businesses think they get from sponsorship deals, especially if they're already known. At best, the fans of the club feels more warmly towards you, but I've not owned a Saab or anything by Brother, but you do manage to piss off millions of other potential customers.

Let the message be sent loud and clear.
We. Will. Make. You. Pay.
For decades...

'Positioning the club to capitalise on opportunities both on the pitch and commercially'
...which was the reason you bought them in the first place...

So basically, you're saying that you're selling up because now you have no idea how to do so, or possibly that there really aren't any, given their current situation.

And covering your tracks by trying to make it sound like there are.

With the £ so poor in recent years on average if the Glazers were taking out £50 million a year that would be $75 million.
Now $50 million would be $59.4 million at today's rate.

So basically, they were only ever worth $15mill a year.
Which I wouldn't sniff at, especially if I could make that happen at zero risk to my own finances.
But still...I'm.sure there are better ways to make more money if you are already a multi-billionaire

Perhaps Gary and his pals will buy them!

Rock 'n' Roll!!! HEY! Rock 'n' Roll...

That fifteen million was their cut.....
The debt loaded on to the club would have been in $$$$ - and the money taken to pay back the dollar interest was coming from money earned in £££££
So the weakened sterling fucked the Glazer's twice, as well as ultimately, the rags.
