The problem is it’s not going to make a difference- they won’t sell up. If UTD were about the win the league and in the semis of the CL this protest wouldn’t have happened

Come on, Phil, you don't know that, you're just guessing and repeating Graham Souness.
I think it'd still have happened.

So United haven't spent big??!!

Yes spent big but haven’t been winning the titles. Many will just forget or ignore behind the scenes if their team is winning.

If next season United win the CL or title then the fans won’t be protesting , they will fill the stadiums. Football has long gone past caring - it’s all about winning

Highlighting that all Clubs have idiots and that shouldn’t tarnish how the majority behaved or the message they were trying to get across, he hates it when the idiots at Lpool let them down and other fans jump on it.
He preferred it 2 weeks ago when all fans came together to condemn the ESL.

Not quite what you said to Tashy...Because they have spent a billion plus to buy players and win trophies.

Kind of implies United haven't and hence their complaints against their owners...

Anyway. I do agree no way would this have happened if they needed to win today to actually win something :-)

Yep exactly - Hence why nothing was done against Roma because they had something to play for.

There's always something to play for when United take on Liverpool!
I'd suggest that this match is a far higher profile game and, and this is very important, it's on a Sunday afternoon, Live on Sky.
Today was ALWAYS going to have a far greater impact in my opinion.

I wonder how that was organised this afternoon? What were we saying earlier about social media and social responsibility...

Micah Richards said this protest taking place was announced 3 or 4 days ago.

You can only think they expected a peaceful demo similar to Chelsea/Arsenal demos last week.
 
Sadly football has moved on too far. The “Product” no longer relies on local fans to generate sufficient income to survive. The bulk of the income is generated Worldwide and from Sky, so in comparison the income generated from true fans is a “mere drop in the ocean”
While I agree with the protests, sadly at the end of the day it won’t have any effect on the owners selling the club.
Despite Roy Keane admiring the protest from the fans and indicating they might have further measures planned, the Glaziers will NOT sell.
If he thinks it will have any impact then maybe he should have a chat with the leprechaun ? at the bottom of his garden.

If United were closer to City and had a chance to win the title then they wouldn’t have a done a thing today - there is no way they would have damaged any chance of winning a trophy , the exact reason why they didn’t do a thing at Roma - because if the club was winning instead of being in the shadows of City and Liverpool over the past 4/5 years then the fans wouldn’t be protesting.
