    The question remains the same....

    Who is to blame?

    The Glazers?
    Ed Woodward?
    The Fans?
    Or the Super League?

    Be interesting to hear the views of fellow football fans
     
    As a Liverpool fan its not fun that the game got postoned but what the Man United fans did was good for our sport. Its to blame Glazers that they wanted to join the Super League. The 50+1 rule need to be implemented in England so fans have a say in what happens to there teams.
     
    Owners are pretty much completely at fault for thinking they're able to take a club in the direction they wanted to rather than running it for the fans. Sadly been a prime issue in football recently with clubs like Bury and Bolton very recently being run into the ground and hopefully leads to fans in general getting some of their clubs back. Just disappointing that it's taken the so called big clubs to do something stupid to have the change enforced, as this has been going on for years. The 50+1 rule needs introducing, however may push away some people who want to invest in clubs as most see them as a business and an attempt at profitability rather than being run as a club, and with it being partially owned by the fans may mean they are unable to run it in the way they would see fit.

    Its not really about the super league mainly, the super league was the catalyst to burn the fire again

    Utd fans have protested a fair few times vs the glazers in the past inc in very successful periods for utd

    The biggeat issue is how they took over the club, leveradging the purchase as debt on the club, whilst that debt at the time of purchase was 600m, its been 16 years and theres still 450m left, btw thats also including havi g paid 1 billion on that debt from the interest thats on it

    On top of that, the glazers have taken out 1.5 billion in dividends for themselves from the club, that whilst there spenditure on transfera whilst recently seeming to be high contrast that to the above, and its nothing, all that money is also the money generated by the club, not money the glazers invested in to the club themselves

    Look at utd at the time of purchase in 2005, old trafford one of tbe beat stadiums in world, its now got holes in it n rusting, training ground not even one of the top 3 in england at this point

    They have sucked the life out of one of the biggest n most revered clubs in the world, taking the money from the club, having never actually having speng anything ong to buy in first place, they were able to buy utd through a loan, which was ultimately put on the club

    Dont condone the violence, but its gonna happen at these things, and at the end of it getting the game postponed, gets it the media attention right around the world, somewhat now with a negative narrative even though alot of it was peaceful

    Thats my dissertation wrote on the topic xD
