Long time reader. First time poster. I have an idea to register dissatisfaction with the first XI and the Glazers, while supporting the club: how about packing out Old Trafford for the Youth Cup final (£1 a ticket), while boycotting the first XI's remaining fixtures?

I think there’s already 30,000 tickets sold.

Not so sure that the protests have much effect on the owners but a few things I think/ hope are becoming apparent to them.
I'm not pro Glazer (not really anti either), OK they used hedge funds to acquire the club and then switched the borrowed money of the funds to money secured from the assets of the club. That is just business plus, they have made money available (about £1 billion) to buy players (further assets) . If the assets diminish then I would imagine they would have to cough up the difference in the value of assets to the loan. Just maybe, with so many players going to be out of contract, that the asset is fading.
I think the problem they caused themselves by putting an egotistical maniac (Woodward) in charge as reward for helping them buy the club. They should have been hands on themselves, getting a feeling of what running a football club is about, rather than sitting in the US and letting Woodward take care of things. Things such as keeping the asset value high, probably why DDG is being offered a new contract rather than letting it run down and Pogba also being offered more money to stay.
I just hope they come to realise that the longer the club toils the more likely that their cash cow is likely to starve and even die.

I hoped the failed super league fiasco would have frightened them off as it was a guaranteed cash cow now unavailable to them.
I do wonder if the clamour for Chelsea at around 3 billion and the expense to build a new stadium on top of that purchase price has shown them now might be a good time to sell with buyers around .

Already got my tickets for me and my daughter.
Looking forward to it.

As with all recent games, it was poor, but even within a dreadful team performance Casemiro stood out for one of the worst, lowest effort, lackadaisical, inept performances by a supposedly top class player that I've ever seen. Shameful. He's either injured, in which case he shouldn't be selected, or he's not trying. We would be better playing anyone other than him. What must Eriksen and Mount be thinking sat on the bench? Why not give Dan Gore a go? I don't know what's gone on with Casemiro this year, but he's a disgrace to the club and the shirt at the moment.
