Sadly, most would just be getting our game called off so they don't have to sit through 90mins of us.
They spend money the club makes on players. They're such a rich club they should be able to develop the facilities too, but that money is spent on servicing debt they took out to buy the club.
Without the Glazers I imagine United would have either massively redeveloped Old Trafford or built a new stadium. And had more success on the pitch. They've taken hundreds of millions of pounds out of club. It's scandalous and should never have been allowed to happen.

"Tottenham supporters have stormed the pitch at White Hart Lane in protest after the starting lineup was leaked, it showed both Winks and Sissoko were going to be starting the match for the Lilywhites"
Trespass with intent is an offence (if that can be proved) though, I think?
Remembering something about that in the A Level Law I took many years back.
I don't disagree but I have very little sympathy sorry
Its worth noting they multiplied revenues compared to the previous lot. Good chance there would be no extra money without the Glazers squeezing every penny.
*I think they are cunts and leveraged buyouts should be banned.
I thought that trespassing wasn’t a criminal offence until the trespasser refused to leave when asked to do so and then it becomes obstruction which is the offence?
Probably deemed too risky for the teams to arrive at the stadium.
No, hence why Irish travellers get away with it. Although there are proposals to make it an offence to intentionally trespass.
Funnily enough, I was talking to a police officer about this a couple of weeks ago. They managed to charge someone for trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence, which I didn't know existed, because of items found in the defendant's car and messages on his phone (they just arrested for suspected burglary initially).
They’ve taken £2b out of the Club, whilst putting £0 in and loading the Club with almost a £1b of debt which they used to buy the Club with!!
One of the greatest business deals every pulled off. The only thing worse to have happened elsewhere in football are the owners that have asset striped by selling the stadium or bankrupted the clubs.
Yeah, pretty much or disrupting. You would be surprised how often the police have to remove people who just refuse to leave residential houses. My police mate talks about it all the time.
So... 'trespass with intent....' is still an offence, that's what I said.
It is not an offence to trespass intentionally, which is what I thought you meant. If you meant trespass with intent to commit a criminal offence, then I think it depends on the intended offence.
Ashley is still the owner because Newcastle fans keep going to Newcastle games, likewise the Glazers still own Utd as the fans, although protested them before never really “protested” them, those who did fucked off and started another club, but this time they may all be United in forcing them out, if that happens the Glazers have no real choice but to look for buyers....
It all boils down to how United the fans are, split, they have no chance, like us and Woolwich , we are stuck with what we have, but a United front by fans at Man U and they force change.....
That's what I said.
Apologies, got there in the end.

That doesn't even cover the specific offense I talked about in the SOA 2003 (effective from 2014).
