Superior Acuña Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The thing is too, a lot of the people outraged by this are the exact same people who snarkily dismiss non-disruptive protests as being pointless. Can't win with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Dont bother asking why we're so desperate for the PIF or why Man United fans are so angry. Must be for no reason at all, so just blame the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InspectorCoarse Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 From The Guardian And so the overwhelming reaction here is not exhilaration but sadness. As tempting as it was to get swept up in the insurgent thrill, what really unfolded at Old Trafford on Sunday was an act of pure desperation: the last refuge of a group of men and women whose every last avenue had been closed to them. Fan power? Alas, no. It was, in many ways, the ultimate expression of fan powerlessness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMTTS Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Jonathan Liew is one of the few people in Britain with more contempt for football fans than 'big six' owners - a repulsive little slug. And fans effectively veto-ing the biggest game in English football, and destroying multiple big money broadcasts across the globe along with it, is a funny example of 'fan powerlessness'. If English football fans continue to recognise that they actually have veto power over games then it's a complete game changer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legal ramifications would be huge. I do find it quite amusing that the false values that the likes of the Arsenal and Spurs boards have built around the clubs would make selling them problematic.

Yeah, he was very clear and concise with what he said. I thought it also highlighted the futility and nothingness of Jenas and Shearer there too in terms of them offering anything meaningful towards the wider discussion of football club ownership. Jenas simply refusing to give an answer or opinion when asked because he's not a Manchester United fan. Then they're rather cheaply throwing the old net spend list at Andy Mitten (the Man Utd journalist) in order to somehow justify that the Glaziers are good owners just because they spend money but he rightly says the club spend more on that servicing debt whereas they were debt free previously. I liked how he mentioned that these owners are all technically "fit and proper". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is sick of pundits coming out with hot air rather than saying anything meaningful. That was so good! It's night and day compared with how Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher articulate. I do appreciate the BBC may have to work under some different constraints in terms of what they're allowed to say (they're unable to take part in this weekend's social media boycott, for example) but they're wasting license payer's money. Jenas can spend half an hour on the One Show giving some bland opinion on the variety of lilly used in some hanging basket display in rural Shropshire but says nothing on how some owners want to destroy British and European football.

Mind to be fair to Shearer (I've been critical of him for not coming out about Bruce also) he was very vocal when it first came out and actually went on breakfast tv for an interview and didn't shy away either.

Happinesstan Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 6 hours ago, TheInfiniteOdyssey said: I definitely agree with this. The behemoths of English football - Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal are always going to act as a lightening rod for any issues and rhetoric circulating in the footballing world. That's why their ESL memberships and sullied ownership are catching fire because there's just so much more attention affixed to these clubs at any given moment. It's not just a national gaze, it's worldwide. Newcastle will obviously be the biggest club in our own head-space, but that's never going to be reciprocated. Another issue with our fanbase wondering where all the outrage is about Ashley and his ownership is that if we're being direct, the narrative has gotten stale. It's difficult to keep repackaging this trauma (more like numbness) to other audiences now. - An awful, predominately lower-half team with an owner that has no ambitions beyond that for the past 13 or so years Yes we've had relegations across that time, but that's pretty much how it's been. So for a neutral observer looking in, they're probably thinking "well yeah that's shit how Ashley is still there, but it's been that way for ages now so why are you still going on about it?". There's no new narrative, just staleness in perpetuity. We're still talked about clearly, but at the same there's nothing really new to say about us. What's more, this is compounded with little direct action being orchestrated and carried out by the actual fanbase. So you have the same narrative, every season being played-out which inevitably dilutes the issue. We are currently spitting our dummy because we're not allowed to buy every other club out of the competition. I can't see why the rest of football would unite with us.
