🚨 MANCHESTER UNITED FANS: WE NOW HAVE A LEGAL ROUTE TO CHALLENGE OUR OWNERSHIP! The Football Governance Act 2025 gives the Independent Football Regulator statutory powers to scrutinise existing owners and protect clubs' financial sustainability. Look at Manchester United: 🔴 Total debt and outstanding transfer fees reached approximately £1.15 BILLION in September 2026. 🔴 Historic borrowing remains around £578 MILLION, more than 20 years after the Glazers' leveraged takeover. 🔴 Another £90 MILLION was borrowed after June 2026. 🔴 Net finance costs reached £69.6 MILLION in the 2025/26 financial year. 🔴 Meanwhile, supporters face the consequences of years of debt, financial pressure and controversial ownership decisions. WHY SHOULD THE GLAZERS AND INEOS ESCAPE INDEPENDENT SCRUTINY? Fans should unite, compile evidence from published financial accounts, organise through supporters' groups and formally request that the regulator examine United's financial sustainability, debt exposure, governance and ownership arrangements. Debt alone does not prove an owner is unfit. But the regulator has powers to investigate genuine financial and suitability concerns. This is no longer just about protests outside Old Trafford. We have a statutory regulator with real powers. USE THE LAW. DEMAND TRANSPARENCY. HOLD OWNERS ACCOUNTABLE. #MUFC #GlazersOut #INEOSOut #BoycottUnited

The football world saw what happened earlier on the pitch and in the stands. These parasite owners must be held accountable and removed
🚨🗣️Alan Shearer on Manchester United's hierarchy. 🗣️“They should be ashamed, because at this point there's no excuse for what's going on at the club. I'm not a Manchester United fan, but honestly, I'm ashamed of what I'm seeing. This is one of the biggest clubs in world football, and the standards have fallen far below what you'd expect. I think it's a matter of shame, to be honest, and the fans should take action, or else nothing will be done. The people running this club need to understand that Manchester United is bigger than any individual. You cannot keep making mistakes and expect the supporters to remain silent. What frustrates me most is that the same problems keep coming back. Managers change, players come and go, but the bigger questions about leadership, recruitment, and accountability remain. At some point, the hierarchy has to stop making excuses and start taking responsibility. The fans invest their money, their time, and their emotions into this club. They deserve more than promises and temporary solutions. If the people in charge genuinely care about Manchester United, then they need to prove it through their decisions. You cannot keep asking supporters to be patient while the club continues to fall short. Manchester United needs a clear direction, strong leadership, and people who understand the responsibility that comes with running such a historic institution.”

Manchester United's rabble of pathetic, over-entitled players push Carrick towards his place in the club's endless winter. But the chaos that has gripped United is not on him. It's on the Glazers, Ratcliffe, Berrada and Wilcox. dailymail.com/sport/football…

Since 2005 Premier League clubs have had a total interest cost on borrowings and financial debt of £3.5bn. One club and one set of owners is responsible for 35% of the total. #Glazernomics Figures per @valuball

£1.012 billion taken from Manchester United, stolen directly from the club, for the Glazer debt saddled on the club. £170 million paid out in dividends. Around £42m paid every year since the 2005 Glazer leveraged buyout - a process that is now illegal - to service their debt.

Michael Carrick will doubtless pay the price with his job for this deserved defeat to an excellent Bournemouth side and another lifeless display by his Manchester United team. Some of his selections and tactics have been questionable, United were again so open in the centre. But Carrick was not responsible for recruiting Youri Tielemans, who lacks physicality and mobility (and Aston Villa haven’t missed him) and Andrey Santos, a Chelsea reserve.  Carrick was not responsible for the board’s damaging failure to strengthen at centre-back and left-back. Carrick was not responsible for his main striker Benjamin Sesko being injured and the board’s failure to provide him with cover. Carrick was not responsible for the club he loves being in the grip of co-owners like the Glazers whose priorities are focused more on business than the sport. The direction from the top has been negligible, arguably negligent. No real leadership. No expertise. Carrick may be out of his depth but many United fans sang his name during the painful demise to Bournemouth because they know he cares and they know the problems lie elsewhere. The Stretford End again sang in protest at the wretched Glazers. Noticeable that there were few songs in support of Bruno Fernandes. He is supposed to be captain, rallying the players, Footballer of the Year, Player of the Year, not arm-waver of the year, underachieving and complaining. Yet Bruno will be at United longer than Carrick.  Carrick was praised for United finishing third last season and getting in the Champions League. But he will doubtless go partly for his own failings and mainly the failings of others. And United will be trapped in this doom loop again. And again until the core problems are addressed in the boardroom - and the Glazers sell up - and flaws in the recruitment department. #MUFC #MUNBOU

🚨I don’t think people realise just how much DAMAGE INEOS have done to Manchester United in less than THREE YEARS. We were promised a new era. Proper football people making proper football decisions. A clear vision, a long-term project and an end to the absolute MESS we’ve been living through for years. Instead, somehow, they’ve managed to make things EVEN WORSE. Just LOOK at what they’ve done: • Explored replacing Ten Hag, kept him, then sacked him three months after spending around £200m • Dan Ashworth left after five months, reportedly over the Amorim appointment • Backed Amorim after a 15th place finish, then sacked him after a reported breakdown with the hierarchy • Ratcliffe said Amorim needed three years in October, and he was gone by January • Matt Hargreaves leads transfer negotiations, with a background in sports marketing • Called Carrick an interim, then gave him the job, reportedly against Vivell's advice • Went into a Champions League season without a left-back or proper squad depth, and now we're talking replacements in October • A new manager would be the fourth permanent boss under INEOS in under three years • Wilcox could still have a say in the next appointment, reportedly wanting Eddie Howe • Ratcliffe called out constant managerial changes in 2024, then repeated the same cycle • Sold McTominay and signed Ugarte, despite reports Ten Hag wanted to keep him • Made hundreds of staff redundant while spending millions reversing their own decisions • Ended Sir Alex Ferguson's £2m-a-year global ambassador role • Raised members' tickets to £66, removing concessions for children and pensioners • Moved season-ticket holders out of their seats for more corporate hospitality • Scrapped free staff lunches, cut bonuses, removed free travel to the FA Cup final, and cancelled the staff Christmas party Different owners, same story. We deserve better.

Replying to @autismspeaks
@autismspeaks @UrbanJumpUK in Gloucester is not an inclusive environment for children with autism or their parent carers. My son Oscar who is nonverbal autistic and I had a terrible experience with the staff earlier. We were constantly told off for minor infringing of the rules

Things like running between trampolines or my feet leaving the floor when holding Oscar’s hands to assist him jumping. I replied multiple times “I’m doing my best” and then was told “I will have to ask you to leave”. I said don’t, we’re going now anyway. If you’re thinking..

About taking your autistic child to @UrbanJumpUK I recommend that you don’t. The staff’s lack of understand and tone left me feeling really upset and angry.

People who sat in their stadium wearing their shirt didn’t know who the F they were. And their fans think the Premier League will collapse if they’re relegated 👍 “Go Manchester United!”
