seriously I have no idea, - what is the difference between what these guys are doing and Abromovich at Chelsea? Glazers are hated, Roman is loved.

I guess they think they own their club.
Wise-up arseholes - it's a product/a brand. It's 'entertainment' and just as anyone with enough money can come in and buy a club, the 'fans' (or consumers, as they should rightly be called) have the right to 'shop' where ever they like.
All of that 'my team' bollox is dead on it's arse - look at Wimbledon/MK Dons.
If you think it's a waste of money, dont shop. No one is putting a gun to your head. Oh, and can't you see the football people have got you right where they want you?
Loyalty - the holy grail of business...
Suckers!

are they not just a little pissed cos Roman went to Chelsea with silly money to chuck at the team and the Glasers have run up a massive debt to buy Man Utd? by all accounts they are not going to be handing Ferguson the kind of war chest Jose has been given, and those debts will trickle down to be repayed by the fans.
That's their chat anyway *shrugs

They're upset because someone bought their publically listed company on the stock exchange. The northern monkeys seem to be unable to grasp that the reason they had so much money for years is because they were a plc now they don't seem to understand that people can buy shares.
As it happens, only 300 fans could be arsed to turn up so I don't think the Glazers have much to worry about other than the fact they overpaid by about £500m for United.

All the 'fans' soon parted with their shares the minute they knew somebody wanted to buy them!
I can't fault them for thet, but what's with the double-standards?

Just pissed because one minute we are one of the rich clubs in the country now we are the poorist along with Arsenal.
and for what, players wages??
new players???nope just one fat mans greed!

These protesting fans are silly tho, the club has gone to one man who is not interested in football, doesnt care about fans, and is just in it for the money. But wasnt that the same when that idiot Martin Edwards took charge, he was a total ar*ehole.
Glazer is exactly the same, I agree with stem, if you dont like it, shop elsewhere.
Take your money and watch FC United in the North Conference Division and become no better than a man city fan!

I remember standing in the Stretford End 'back in the day' when Michael Knighton did his kick-ups - that was it for me!

As i understand it, Glazer has borrowed 100's of millions to fund the purchase, and now that its all his Manchester United and all its assets (Old Trafford ect...) are security against the loan. Before this manchester Utd had no debt, now they are liable to the bank for massive amounts of money
Abramovich didn't need to borrow a penny, and Chelsea were already in a lot of debt.
