brilliant letter from football365
..I can't believe that these 'fans' are taking this to such extremes - this was not an example of passion but rather mindless hooliganism.
I think it is another example of ManYoo fans' arrogance, it is almost as if they think the club should be owned by the National Trust. As it is, only, a football club one wonders what they expect. Why didn't these fans buy shares in the club they love when they had the chance? For that annoying head of supporters club to say "this is an issue for all football fans, not just MUFC fans" is just another example of their pure arrogance.
How many of those MUFC fans donated money to the Wrexham? Or assisted when so many other lower-league clubs struggle? How many of them chuckle when they think of Sheff Wed or Leeds? Are they helping Man City in recovering from £60m of debt? Did they shed a tear when Wimbledon was bought by foreigners, dismantled, sold and then the trouble started? These are exactly the same, fans suffering due to fault of board. We are expected to give a flying French fry about their struggle because they are Manchester United.
What an awful advert for Britain these mindless thugs put on last night. Die Glazer Die - I saw a father and son shouting this, perhaps that father's passion would be better served in showing his son a better role model. If these 'fans' had handled this properly they may not have stopped the Glazers but they may have got answers to the questions they wanted. This "Me upset, Me not understand, Me throw stones" approach would only make the new owners resolve much stronger and reduce any sympathy for the fans.
Worst-case scenario - Man Utd can't afford to spend £30m on players, they can't invest megabucks in youth and poaching other teams' best youngsters, they can't pay mega wages, ticket prices go up, they aren't assured of qualification to the Champions League. So basically they may have to suffer what the rest of us football fans (CFC excluded) have to suffer.
The only real problem for the rest of us is the TV deal - one Malcolm Glazer has said he will honour - looking at Europe this break was only a matter of time so let's get some perspective - are we naive enough to think Roman does not want to do this?
After last night my vote is sod 'em - let Glazer do what he wants, move Old Trafford to Florida and ManYoo to the MLS. Non MUFC read the following and see if you agree - Shareholders United vice-chairman Sean Bones: "The Glazer family are the enemies of Manchester United. We find them disgusting and repulsive. In the long-term the Glazer brand will be suffocated. The previous Manchester United brand was peerless in terms of sporting brand names. The Glazer brand is toxic and tarnished, uncool and unstylish. Glazer will lose the war." What a t0sser.
Did anyone else notice them shouting 'Glazer out' and then barricading the road when they try to leave? Priceless.

last night on BBC World.
SKY news just keeps showing it over and over 
brilliant, but I am a bit concerned if they do this at a match, there would be murder if they where to do this, singing Glaziers gona die, and Glazier watch your back, this isnt over by a long shot.
