@The__1958 Means nothing if even just one person is in the stadium for the game.
As long as there are people putting money in the Glazers and INEOS pockets nothing will change.
You want to protest? Empty the stadium for every home game next season. They’ll get the message

[Caleb🇮🇪 @CalebUtd23]

@The__1958 Protest then enter the stadium after and buy food and watch the match nice one lads👍🏾

[NME1999 @NigelMusca47253]

@The__1958 The fans should not enter the stadium, we should leave the stadium empty like AC Milan

[Jo 🔰⚽️🔴⚪️⚫️ @Jivo76]

@The__1958 Your protests are useless.
If you somehow don’t empty the stadium it won’t work.

[UTD_Menzguy @Menzguy_mufc]

@The__1958 UNTIL YOU EMPTY THE GROUND IT WONT MAKE A BLIND BIT OF DIFFERENCE!

Protesting on your way to the game is like complaint about the price of sainsburies food whilst shopping there. Idiotic.

[Ryan @UtdBaryRyan]

@The__1958 And you're still filling the stadium mate?

The “Glazers” Dark Cloud Still Hovers Large!

The Glazer family remains deeply entrenched in the operations of Manchester United, holding ultimate authority over the club’s most significant decisions. Despite the ongoing speculation and narratives surrounding their supposed reduced influence or the potential for a full sale, the reality is that they still wield considerable power.

As majority shareholders, the Glazers retain control over the board of directors and have veto power over any major operational or strategic changes. This includes transfers, managerial appointments, commercial partnerships, and long-term planning. Even with the arrival of external investors or minority stakeholders, such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25% acquisition of a stake in the club, the Glazers’ overarching influence remains intact. They dictate the club’s direction, approve financial budgets, and make final calls on investments, whether in the squad, infrastructure, or global expansion efforts.

It is crucial not to be misled by PR narratives or public statements suggesting otherwise. While the Glazers may delegate certain responsibilities or share decision-making with advisors and executives, such as Jim Ratcliffe or other board members, this delegation does not equate to relinquishing control. At the end of the day, they retain the power to override any decisions or proposals that do not align with their vision or financial interests.

For years, the Glazers have been criticized for prioritizing profit over the club’s competitive and cultural needs. Their history of leveraging the club’s finances through debt acquisition underscores their tendency to place financial gain above the concerns of fans. Their continued involvement ensures that the priorities of Manchester United remain closely tied to their business interests, even at the expense of footballing success or operational transparency.

In short, the Glazers’ role as majority owners guarantees their dominance over the club’s decision-making. Until there is a complete sale or they relinquish their shares, it’s naïve to assume they are not involved in the day-to-day operations and long-term trajectory of Manchester United.

The recent reports of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s further job cutbacks and ticket/season ticket price increases at Manchester United are deeply concerning. These measures, aimed at tightening the club’s financial operations, will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the staff who keep the club running day-to-day. Many of these employees are ordinary people with families, mortgages, and rent to pay people who depend on this club for their livelihood.

The prospect of job losses and financial strain on loyal fans highlights what feels like an era of penny-pinching and cost-cutting. For many, this reinforces the belief that Ratcliffe’s partial takeover merely continues the Glazers’ legacy of prioritizing profits over people. Let’s not forget, this is the same ownership structure that plunged the club into debt while lining their own pockets.

This situation underscores exactly why fans pushed for a full sale and the removal of the Glazers entirely. A fresh start, free of debt and free of the toxic legacy of financial mismanagement, was what the Qatar bid seemed to promise. While some claim the Qatar bid “never existed,” those of us who followed the process closely know otherwise. The bid was real, and so was the opportunity for transformative change at the club.

It’s vital that fans remain vigilant and do not fall for attempts to rewrite history or downplay the consequences of this ownership model. Manchester United deserves better a club built by the fans, for the fans, not as a cash cow for billionaires.

Glazers Out.
