Protesting the owners by going to games and putting money in their pockets.
I've always been aware of the LUHG faction of United support, what happened yesterday was a step beyond that.
Imagine you are a Newcastle fan and you see these guys turn the place upside down. A billion spent, but those greedy b*stards didn't spend another 120m to get Sancho. So your team isn't as successful as it used to be, that's sports.
The Glazers are shytty owners but don't forget that they got ownership because your boy Sir Alex was beefing with the old owners over horse semen. Afterwards Sir Alex and all your legends endorsed these guys.
What's hilarious about all this is Neville and them on TV talking about what is fair. Was it fair when United kept gate receipts and killed revenues for smaller clubs? Was it fair when United and 5 other clubs started up the premier league and figured ways to keep most of the money? Was it fair when they started the Champions league and how they shared that revenue up?
Y'all should just say you want your team to win again and don't care about anything else, this protest isn't about empowering people.
The money that's been spent over the years has been from profits made by the club. The debt that these leeches put on the club has been paid from the same profits by the club due to success on the pitch. The difference between Glazers and the Sheikh for Manchester City is that they've invested over a billion while these sucks have drained over a billion. They should be commended for spending the clubs own money?
Not gonna argue too much on the Rock of Gibraltar stuff. That always seemed super shady tbh. But what did you want him to do at 70+ years old? Risk tearing down everything he's built over two decades getting into a war with owners that it could be argued he's somewhat responsible for being there? At that point he's just trying to keep a steady ship and hope for the best. Die a hero or live long enough to become the villain type of situation really.
