@henrywinter@unna_chilanga@FA Amen, Henry. Wonderful people. Warm, welcome and magnanimous in defeat.
This photo is AFTER they lost. We few England fans didn’t celebrate too much out of respect - but they said “why aren’t you celebrating? You must celebrate!” So we did, with them! Incredible!
🗣️A CALL FOR UNITY AND TO CAST ASIDE DIFFERENCES
Some journalists, paid accounts, and bots will do everything they can to discredit and defuse any message or action that challenges this ownership. That’s expected, we have always had to put up with this.
We do what we do for one reason only, the love of our club. Nothing else. We have never monetised this. We have never sold access, clicks, or credibility, unlike others.
We put ourselves out there to defend and fight for our club, fan culture and for the next generation of supporters. We are just honest, hard working lads who refuse to be silenced.
Look around. Cut through the bullshit. They do not want fans united against the ownership, so they will do whatever they can to divide opinion and fracture support.
We urge fans to unite, stay the course this time, no matter any previous differences. We can all go back to calling each other 🤬 after if needed. Fans are not the problem. We are not the problem.
One unified goal: the removal of this rotten ownership and inept executive team.
Follow the truth.
Tomorrow belongs to those who see it coming.
The 1958🇾🇪
Right after the tongue in cheek piss take (a bit cringy to) yesterday which was sent to us, time to get serious.
This shouldn’t need explaining but this protest is against
👉Glazers (dysfunctional/inept owner partnership)
👉INEOS/Ratcliffe (dysfunctional/inept owner partnership)
👉Inept executives (Barreda/Wilcox)
This is our full press release.
🗣️PRESS RELEASE: PROTEST ANNOUNCEMENT
It has been an extraordinary and deeply troubling few days at Manchester United.
On the pitch, we are watching mediocre performances from an average team drifting without identity, direction, or ambition. Off it, the chaos is even worse.
A manager has reportedly been dismissed not primarily for abject performances against Grimsby, Everton, West Ham, and Wolves, but allegedly for a heated exchange with Jason Wilcox. Wilcox a man with just nine months’ experience as a Director of Football at Southampton is said to have attempted to interfere tactically, despite the club hiring Ruben fully aware of his rigid system. The situation beggars belief.
This decision was allegedly endorsed by Omar Berrada, a CEO with no prior experience in the role, listening to the complaints of a close ally rather than exercising independent leadership. We are once again witnessing Manchester United being run by executives learning on the job, at the expense of results, stability, and credibility.
Let us be clear: this is not a defence of Ruben or the football served up under him. Much of it was unacceptable. But his dismissal once again exposes the continued dysfunction at our club.
Manchester United is now owned by a toxic partnership where fans are getting the worst of both worlds.
The Glazers continue to cream money off the top, while Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS hammer supporters at the bottom. Together, they are running one of the biggest clubs in world football like a local corner shop penny pinching, short term, and utterly devoid of vision.
WE CALL FOR A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN THE OWNERSHIP, BERRADA AND WILCOX
Over $1 billion has already been sucked out of Manchester United at the altar of greed.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has betrayed the hope and faith many supporters placed in him and INEOS. He was supposed to be change. Instead, he has become the perfect Glazer shield absorbing public criticism while Joel and Avram Glazer quietly continue their asset stripping behind the scenes.
Nothing has changed. In truth, it is worse.
Our club is run like a media circus. The social accounts a mess, the clubs a mess with access and tickets thrown about like confetti to influencers. Fan culture being destroyed on and off the pitch
INEOS’ incompetence is now clear for all to see. The direction of their intentions is obvious. We expect further marginalisation of match-going fans, continued bullying of season ticket holders, and an accelerated move toward a future where supporters are priced out entirely.
A model where fans pay £100-£150 per match, mirroring the grotesque PSL system, is no longer a distant threat it is looming closer with every decision they make. Our club again leading the way across the Premier League in how to exploit not reward loyalty.
Fans have been banned from home and away games, not for violence or disorder, but to free up tickets to be sold to tourists chasing a “once-in-a-lifetime experience”. We’ve had the club flouting their own rules and passing on away tickets to darts players. Leeds away should have been a line in the sand. It wasn’t.
We warned about this.
We warned where this was heading.
Too many are now sleepwalking into the abyss.
Earlier this season, we asked supporters if they wanted to protest. Many chose to give Sir Jim time. That time has been squandered. The situation is undeniably worse.
That is why we will protest at Fulham at home on Sunday 1st February (or Spurs on the 7th should the club decide the Munich remembrance takes place on the 1st).
We posted this over a year ago and its now two years of shame. Nothing will change or get better until this dysfunctional ownership model is resolved. Until then our club, generational loyalty and fan culture will continue to be destroyed.
We postponed what we felt was a needed protest at the start of this season due to fan sentiment.
Are you all feeling the same way now?

Evitemos simplismos. Tan aguda crisis no puede resumirse señalando a un entrenador o jugador. Jimmy tiene parte de la culpa, sin duda, lo mismo su plantel. Pero ya es hora de entender que los males de nuestro futbol son estructurales y muy profundos. Nos dirija quien nos dirija.
Después de 4 meses y medio compitiendo, Cruz Azul es antepenúltimo en la Liga MX y está a 22 puntos del América, que está firmando un torneo extraordinario y que podría lograr la mejor puntuación de todos los tiempos en fase regular, si gana su último partido.
Si Cruz Azul gana en la última jornada a Puebla tendría opciones matemáticas (pocas, pero las tiene) de clasificarse para la liguilla.
Si lo consigue, en ese momento se borraría todo lo que ha pasado desde julio y, pese a la diferencia brutal que ha habido entre ambos equipos durante más de 4 meses, ambos partirían en igualdad de condiciones en la fase final (la única diferencia es que Cruz Azul tendría que jugar el play-in).
Es decir, en la Liga MX, con un buen play-in puedes borrar de un plumazo 4 meses horribles y 22 puntos de diferencia respecto del líder.
Y lo peor de todo es que este tipo de situaciones se dan continuamente y rara vez el mejor equipo de la temporada regular logra el título (solo ha pasado en 9 de 53 ocasiones). En el caso concreto del América, solo ha sido campeón UNA VEZ (de 8 posibles) después de ser Superlíder.
Es un formato totalmente obsoleto e impropio del fútbol. Fomenta la mediocridad y posibilita situaciones terriblemente injustas que se dan permanentemente. Y lo peor de todo: no ayuda a que mejore el futbolista. En su cabeza está que nada de lo que pase entre julio y noviembre sirve para mucho. Con un mes bueno (el de la liguilla) es más que suficiente para lograr el objetivo.
No hay día a día. No existe el esfuerzo semanal continuado. No hay la presión de ganar cada jornada para no descolgarte de la lucha por el título. Y, encima, no hay descensos. Es la cultura del pelotazo.
