Breaking: Utd fans protesting against the Glazers have blocked both entrances to Carrington
First team pitch:
Carrington’s facilities manager came out to speak to the protesters, despite brandishing a scouse accent.

He was told the group wanted to speak to Solskjaer. The scouser said that he wouldn’t be coming out cos the group was “intimidating”.

They said they’d stay until he did.
The facilities manager went back inside to petition Solskjaer, who eventually came out alongside his coaching staff.

Solskjaer was asked where his voice has disappeared to, having previously become a patron of @MU_ST in 2005, supporting the campaign against the Glazers.
The protesters asked why he could take a stand then, as a player, but not now in his far more powerful position as manager.

He replied that “Joel” loves the club.
A police car and riot van that turned up kept their distance as the protesters and Solskjaer exchanged views.
Utd staff requested no recordings if Solskajer came out.

In response to his waffle, the protesters told Solskjaer they didn't need a history lesson from him.

And it was pointed out very clearly that "Joel" only loves the money he takes out of the club.

Henderson and Bailly amongst players waiting for the road to Carrington to be unblocked who showed support for the protesters as they left.
Complete fantasy from the Mail, in stark contrast to this in the Sun:

Well well well...

🤔
What penalty clauses are there on the JP Morgan financing now this has been abandoned 🤔

If none, why not?
Where are the contracts on the financing?

How can a €10bn venture collapse in under 48hrs after going off so half-cocked?

Why would it have such a poxy website?

Woodward's stewardship at Old Trafford can probably be summed up by the following tale, which occurred long after he twice pulled out of scheduled interviews with your super soaraway RI at the last minute (heeding the advice of Comms Director Phil Townsend not to go ahead)...
Fast forward to a deserted Hilton bar in Cardiff, the night before the 2017 CL final: Our correspondent is catching up with a couple of pals when a coachload of drunken UEFA delegates walk in, W'ward and Gill among them.

"Not in here, mate" pleaded our man's drinking company.
Of all the seats in all the bars in all the world, W'ward opts to perch himself on the back of the one our chap is sitting in, whereupon he chirps up, "Oh, it's Woodward!"

He turns round, gurning, expecting to be asked for a selfie. "Get yourself off my seat, you wanker!"

It’s time, time to expose @WebbyONeill and his treacherous collaborations with Ed Woodward and the Glazers.

He has spent 16 years clamping down on fan dissent, to the extent that suspicion was widespread that he stuck people’s names in to Cheshire Police.

Read on...
The whole sorry tale has long been laid out in the pgs of @RedRebels2005 - a Penguin publication that underwent intensive legal readings.

The Purple Army Corporal consulted a solicitor about its contents but slumped off when informed he can’t take a libel case out on the truth.
In 2010 when the Glazer Bond issue inspired the Green & Gold protests, @WebbyONeill hijacked a public meeting to insist that “yes something must be done” but that “no, not just yet.”

It had the effect of stifling momentum. Just what the Glazers and Woodward would have wanted 🤔

As promised, a further update on fancams, their links to established media such as TalkSport, the connivance of supposedly 'proper' journalists in their cretinous output, and the involvement of grasping members of football's Twatocracy...
Last Thurs @UnitedStandMUFC's 'rantsnbants' was invited on TalkSport to discuss the growing hostility to fancams. Quite a coup for a barely-literate moron to be given such a stage - if you ignore all the corporate links between TalkSport and fancam world:
@UnitedStandMUFC We've previously pointed out 'rants' is basically a Murdoch puppet, whilst TalkSport is also owned by NewsCorp. Hence they were happy to grant fancams what was basically a 15min advert-cum-puff piece, dressed up as an 'attack' on TalkSport's Simon Jordan: talksport.com/radio/listen-a…

We recently looked at the ludicrous @FullTimeDEVILS, which pretends to be a fan-run entity when it's a construct of @rtlgroup's Freemantle Media. Below we'll delve into the equally fake @UnitedStandMUFC
@FullTimeDEVILS @rtlgroup @UnitedStandMUFC Fronted by an arch bellend who calls himself 'Mark Goldbridge', he's actually a middle-aged, Forest-supporting, ex-copper called Brent Di Cesare: fourfourtwo.com/features/mark-…
@FullTimeDEVILS @rtlgroup @UnitedStandMUFC Very few people willingly leave the police, and then usually only if they've seriously misbehaved or have a very lucrative offer elsewhere. Companies House accounts show 'Goldbridge' fan channel was sitting on a £50,000 cash pile as of late-2018.
