Man United will always act with class, unlike City.

They will sack a steward with 19 years service for handing back an anti-Glazer banner, ban supporters from MUTV for wearing green and yellow scarves, and impose a vow of silence on the players andstaff.

Pure class.

And as I said on an earlier thread, would a bunch of bankers be any better than the Glazers?

John this was recently discussed on here. But we know the Glazers have financed United to the hilt, but there is very little we can do about it. They will not sell as they are waiting for the pay to view rights to unfold and they hope all will be well as this will be worth a fortune. The money that can be made from this will dwarf the debt and they will come out of this smelling a roses. Blame Martin Edwards for me, he couldn't wait to get his greedy hands on a few quid and sold the club to who ever. We now have a dodgy American family who have little or no interest in our club as a football club. It is purely a business venture for them and they will squeeze every penny they can get out of the likes of myself and other fans. They play on your loyalty and love of the club.

The only thing that may push them out is if the club starts to fail on the football pitch. The pay to view will only work if the team is winning, Catch 22 for the fans do you want to get rid of the Glazers or see your club win that is some question for the average football fan.

I think the red knights isn't a viable option, how can 60 businessmen all pull together to run a club like MUFC. They will all have opinions of how things should go. How long before bickering takes over and were in a mess again. I am no fan of Mr Gill but he isn't far wrong about Mr Harris who is fronting the bid, he is a concern. The bottom line is the Glazers wont sell anyway but at least it looks like Donegal are playing at Old T every week lol something for you to smile about......

Very sensible post MancIrish.

Too many cooks and all that.............can't see it happening myself.

But what about the steward who was sacked?

Thanks Pat, it was not a surprise about the steward being sacked. The club staff will have to be seen to be be supportive of the Glazers. I don't agree with it, what happened to freedom of speech and all. If people want to protest peacefully what is the problem. If your not happy at work you can air your grievances, very sad that the lad wasn't allowed to be seen to sympathise with the protest. At the end of the day the protest flag wasn't United's property anyway so how could they keep it?

You may be getting a call asking you to represent him yet?

For once I agree with Patrique. The sacking of that steward was a total disgrace. Also people being asked to remove green & gold scarves in MUTV shows etc - complete & utter nanny state politics. The Glazers have done nothing to ease fans fears and they've hiked up the prices of tickets by almost 50% in some cases.

I think the Red Knights could work, but only if they form a board with full control of the workings of the club. 7-12 directors would need to be empowered to make the day to day decisions. 60 people all with slightly different agendas will not work. But I would prefer to see the Red Knights in charge than the Glazers, they are total parasites.
