I'm gutted I missed this thread.
Just to make things clear; wodda, no matter how you try to frame it, no matter how inept your board of directors maybe, no matter how disillusioned you are with the United created realities of football now, no matter how you like to think of yourself as a 'proper fan', the fact remains that you turned your back on your own club.
The only time that United has actually needed its supporters to stand up and be counted in the past 50 years and you and your big FCU mates walked away. YOUR club fell into debt and seems to be falling apart at the seams, for the first time as a fan your loyalty was tested and you failed in every possible sense of the word. You're like the big hardmen at the front of the scrums, always mouthing about how big of a fan you are, about how it's United, Kids, Wife, and as soon as your club; the one who not only gave us Fergie's Fledglings, but also the Busby Babes, THAT club is the one that you turned your back on and encouraged others to do.
You are a despicable excuse for a football fan. You're actually WORSE than glory hunters. They are fairweather and come and go with the wind, you as a 'proper fan' were supposed to be there for life, in sickness and in health.
The Red Knights and the Spirit of Shankly groups won't change the world; they have a large problem changing anything in their own clubs. However, these are fans who saw the legacy of their clubs as been more important than the here and now, and tried to do something about it. The option of walking away never crossed their mind, it is absolutely unthinkable.
What you did however, was get upset that the owners of Manchester United weren't perfect (welcome to the real world by the way), so fucked off your club to go and create a cheap imitation. You complain about the state of football, then run off an create an imitation football club. You may as well have "Made in China" on your backs.
You spat upon Busby, Best, Charlton, Ferguson and Giggs the moment you walked away. The club is bigger than any one individual or owner, it's an ethos and an atmosphere that surrounds our clubs which brings us into them. You were either always a plastic and never understood this, or even worse, you were a proper fan and it didn't bother you.
The FCUM fans speak of how they are all still big United fans who are just protesting by not going and not paying any money. It's bollocks. United are in debt now more than any other club in history. What they need now, is for the proper fans to get themselves down to the games more and help them through a difficult patch. You lot however, are withholding money, and even you traitors must realise that you are forcing your own club into bankruptcy with this stuff.
That's the be all and end all. You are actually trying to wreck your own club, then have the cheek to say that you're all massive United fans.
You aren't massive United fans. Those are the guys who hate the Glazers but stayed anyway because it's their club. You guys are the equivalent of the kid who wanted to play up front and when he couldn't, went out and formed his own shit team.
You are all a bunch of disloyal turncoats, and I hope that your club goes bankrupt, you Judas bunch of cunts.
EDIT : 8000th post, and one that will be personally memorable to me.
