Manchester United Protest

By Anthony Hegarty · November 9, 2026

The only way out of the mess United sit in today is new ownership. The problem is, rumour has it the current owners, the Glazer Family and Ineos, want in the realm of 8 Billion GBP! That would make MUFC one of the most, if not THE most, expensive sports franchises in history!

The solution is twofold – 1: We need to get relegated. 2: We need to let the current owners know we will not buy any merchandise while they are owners.

To demonstrate this to the owners I suggest each fan cut out the badge on one of the many Team Shirts they own and mail it back to the Glazers/Ineos at Old Trafford. I have just done this today!

It is reported that MUFC have 1.1+ BILLION fans worldwide. Approximately 75 MILLION are core fans. If only 2% of that core followed suit and mailed a badge to the club, they would have to handle 1.5 MILLION badges at Old Trafford! That would not go unnoticed! Particularly if each and everyone returning the badge posted it somewhere on social media.
