Going by what I've seen on Twitter, a Glazer out protest has been organised outside OT for this Saturday.

Boycots and disruption are now the only things we have been left with. Singing songs and waving scarves does nothing. People have to vote with their feet now.

We play away this weekend. Glazers in America. Woodward in London. Absolutely pointless.
It needs to be against Liverpool and for the club to actually feel some disruption. Block the teams getting to the ground etc.
I have been on quite a few Glazer protests over the years and they get weaker and less effective each time. All this one is going to do on Saturday is stop a few people going into the megastore.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You do realise the protest will get coverage from the media which will beamed across the world?!
They don't need to be where the protest is. It's symbolic!
They will see fan unrest in all its glory. That is what matters, the message getting across which it will.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This didn't do anything the last few times. They don't care.
We haven't disrupted anything. All the protests have been priory to games in the past and everyone rushes off to get to their seats in time for KO.
It will get a bit of media attention but the Glazers don't care. Only thing that they will listen to is disruption. These softly approach demonstrations make you feel good but ultimately they achieve very little.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you really want to get them out you need to do more than just protest.
One thing that nearly sums the Glazers up is when you sold Lukaku, pocketed his fee and gave his squad place to a 17 year old, the exact type of squad cutting exercise people like that thrive on. OGS has openly said fans who protested against the Glazers aren't proper supporters and has stated he's been backed by them, club legend as a player or not if you back him after he said those things you're effectively backing the owners.
The only way to have a shot at getting them out is if you boycott every aspect about them (and that includes buying club merchandise), no point saying Glazers out but then carry on backing their symptoms.

Suggesting that scousers and mancs could get together outside the ground on the day of the big game shows about as much comprehension of the traditions of English football than the big 6 owners themselves have done over the past week.
----------------------------------------------
I didn't necessarily suggest outside the same ground though, as great as it would be. It doesn't have to be.
It could even be before both coaches set off for the ground, whether it's from the Lowry or Carrington and Melwood.
These are the type of extremes we need to go to though, as unimaginable as they are, otherwise what's the point.

Surely it could be organised in some way with a common goal. I know it may be difficult but having some official representatives from organised supporter groups would be something.
It wouldn't really have to be a lot of people to get media interest. I'm sure that solidarity in terms of being anti the American owners (not anti American) would create some kind of ripples from here to LA.

Red Issue

The protesters asked why he could take a stand then, as a player, but not now in his far more powerful position as manager.
He replied that “Joel” loves the club.

That would be the place to start.

That's no surprise really.
SAF once said they were great owners.

Others on-line are saying this is BS. I don't know either way if he said it or not but it's pretty difficult situation for him to be in really.

Given it's Red Issue it could well be but they seem pretty adamant he said it.
I can't really blame him because he is in a very difficult position but those exact words are an insult to supporters.

Fergie said this in 2012
"I am comfortable with the Glazer situation. They have been great," he said. "They have always backed me whenever I have asked them. I have never faced any opposition.
"They have always been as sensible as they can be in terms of financing the club. They have to invest in the team to maintain the value of their asset.
"I think there are a whole lot of factions at United that think they own the club. They will always be contentious about whoever owns the club, and that's the way it's always been.
"When the Glazers took over here there was dissatisfaction, so there have always been pockets of supporters who have their views. But I think the majority of real fans will look at it realistically and say it's not affecting the team. We've won four championships since they've been there, one European Cup."
