| The owners of the big 6 clubs in the league tried to break away and form their own league with the big clubs in Europe. They did this without telling even the managers and players of the teams never mind the fans. When it was found out all hell broke loose and it was quashed but the fans will not let it drop and want the owners out, hence mass protests. ____________________ Come, it is time for you to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man.

| quote: Originally posted by Raven: Perhaps some of the UK football fans on Card Talk can explain what's going on over there? We have seen the video of "fans" breaching the stadium and cancelling the game, but the business about the MU owners and leagues wasn't well explained at all. Mob protests are getting too common now, but it would be good to know the reason.
And thanks for using Football and not the S word  Bizarrely, the whole secret Super League formation has actually brought rival fans together in Agreement that nobody wants a "private" league that excludes everyone else. As Raj says it was a small minority who caused any trouble and almost took away the real protest. A lot of Man Utd fans stopped going when the Glazer Family took over and formed a new football club called FC United of Manchester. |
