I’d rather have the glazers than the saudi’s careful what you wish for.

What are you protesting over?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This. What are you protesting over? The hundreds of millions they have provided you with the last 5 years?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you thick or just trying to wum? Pretty sad either way tbh

I despise United btw, just not an utter clown
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite the trolling going on, I actually think this was a genuine question.

The Glaziers have milked Utd but at the same time they've not done a Mike Ashley since they've spent a lot of the clubs income on transfers. Issue is ofc them letting Ed run the footballing side for so long despite being well out of his depth and spunking hundreds of millions away on players and managers who are failing. He seems untouchable
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’ve taken more money out of the club than the club has spent on transfers since they cook control.

According to Transfermarkt, since 2005/6 the club has spent £990m on transfers in and recouped £471m on transfers out, giving a net spend of c. £520m.

They’ve taken nearly twice that straight out of the club.

Theres only one way the glazers will sit up and take notice and that's when it hits them in the pocket

The liverpool game isn't the one to do it but a fan boycott of a home game would cause mayhem in the board room

The counter argument though, is to question whether if we'd had a bigger transfer budget, would we be any better off?

Whilst it saddens me how the club is used in that manner, I don't think it's necessarily the real problem.

We protested the takeover, nothing happened, I watched the Green and Gold shambles and nothing happened. There are fundamental issues at the club that need addressing. Not sure how people think this would do anything.

The decisions the club have made with management have been fully endorsed / supported by the majority of fans (apart from Moyes).

The owners have provided close to a Billion pounds of investment since Fergie left. The money has not been spent well, especially by the last useless manager, Jose.

Yes, I want a plan and direction for the club going forward but I am not sure this is the best approach for it

I tend to agree, although I have to be honest and say I don't know enough about the investment and management of scouting, youth teams etc. to have a strong opinion on that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know enough either to be fair so won't pretend that I do. From what I read and hear, and what I see on the pitch though, the structure could and should be better.

what? you're -437m net past 5 years so you spent 80m net for the other 10 years?

With Ed acting as de facto Director of Football, no, we probably wouldn’t be any better off.

But that’s their fault as well

Absolutely - what's been happening on the pitch suggests something is wrong.

I'd also add that the management and players should take some responsibility too. The problem is, IMO, is that we have an average squad, with an average manager under a pretty incompetent board.

We’d probably have spent the extra £500m on Faubert, Taarabt, N’Zogbia, Benteke, Mangala and Richarlison.

The Sky Sports advert for the match on Sunday is some urban guy talking about Instagram and it shows Lingard doing a dance.

Yeh, I've never really been one to support the idea that the players have to take responsibility.

If the players aren't doing the business then it's usually the manager's fault.

The only time I feel differently if when they're clearly on strike, like Leicester players did.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I just think the players could just take a little more care at times. Just the simple little things like passing a ball into space in front of a player running onto it rather than passing square and killing momentum. These should be things that management pick up on I suppose but it's pretty basic stuff IMO. Even I do that in our (very) amateurish weekly kickabouts!

Bulgaria is right about England's racism problem

Unfortunately the people running this seem to be a bunch of nobodies. Their last march didn't attract many people from what I've heard.

There'll probably be a bigger crowd marching from Trafford Bar with TRA and they're not doing it for anything in particular.

I read that a previous effort had about 20 people turn up

Hopefully the coverage that this outing is getting combined with mounting frustrations will are a bigger turnout.

If not the glazers then who?

Im sure most don't want the Saudis etc due to human rights stuff.

However its amazing how quickly football fans would forget this once the trophies start rolling in.

This should be a anti-Woodward protest not an Anti-glazer one. As others have said, the Glazed s have provided the funding the last few years, but Ed has squandered it.
Also, can we use a different colour for protests? At this rate we'll never get a Newton Heath away kit.

Surely Woodward doesnt identify the targets he just secures them?

I mean people are saying Solskjaer had a good transfer window. If Woodward is in charge of transfers then it's him who has had the good transfer window isn't it?

Well they're both marching from the same place so maybe there will be.

I'm not sure TRA will want to get themselves heavily involved with anything like this though given how closely they've been working with the club over the last year or so to improve the atmosphere and how successful their efforts have been so far.

The club have given them 1400 tickets, their biggest allocation yet in the Stretford End Right Side for Sunday and if they want even more for future games which will hopefully happen, they can't go giving the club any reason to say no, lower their allocation or stop this altogether.

1400 people in the same area who will stand and sing for 90+ minutes straight should help make Sunday one of the best atmospheres in years hopefully and I'm going to be right in the middle of it.

Even though we'll probably end up on the wrong end of a bad result I've not been this excited for a game in a long time.
