sebuah gerakan "bersatu untuk menarik perhatian dan menegaskan pernyataan" telah digagas dengan 'Hijau dan Emas' sebagai caranya..

walau sempat menjadi topik perdebatan panas di Red Cafe, tapi tampaknya gerakan ini semakin meluas...

berikut alasannya dari Red Issue.... sori kalau banyak kata2 yang disensor, gw copas seperti aslinya soalnya..

Green And Gold - Make A Statement ?

redissue.co.uk

http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/full/58895761.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82&Expires=1264087825&Signature=vShM%2FzCFKdf4YBBuZdM%2FA%2FXoOrk%3D

The thing that I have noticed particularly obvious about the whole Glazer takeover has been how good the Glazers have been at dividing the fans.

Even amongst my friends there are pro FC / Anti FC / Not A Penny More / Match Tickets Only & no pies e.t.c but the one thing that obviously unites (excuse the pun) all of us is our need to get rid of the ****ers.

I honestly do not believe for one minute that it is possible to get everyone to agree to anything, as has been shown here, but one think is for sure we all hate the Glazers. Unfortunately because we have different ways of showing it, and different ideas it will/has got very diluted and this is a major blow to everyone except the Glazers.

I think scarves/hats/badges etc are a good idea, alright it's not very radical but it is something that realistically could be adopted by everyone from the 'terrorist bomb the bastards' section to the 'no pies inside' protestors.

One thing the chants inside OT this week did achieve should not be underestimated, and that is the fact that a lot more people were showing discontent than we imagined. Allright it's easy to chant but it's easy to wear a scarf/hat/badge/flag as well.

Now this bit might prove slightly controversial and it may sound like I am taking the piss but the big problem with the scarf/hat/badge/flag idea is that it is impossible to distinguish people who are wearing them and who are not. I therefore suggest that all anti glazer items be easily identifiable by making them a set colour (color for any Americans lurking).
My suggestion for this is Green/Gold of the old strip. This would make any anti glazer supporter stand out and a sea of green/gold could never go un-noticed on TV.

Also even thinks like green/gold cards or flyers of the back pages of fanzines (we would have to have a word with the mags about this) could be used to signify our dislike of the cunts.

And I doubt it is possible for anyone to be ejected for wearing a green/gold scarf. It mught be a **** idea, but if we can get ONE ****ing thing to unite all of us then at least we have a start. I would gladly redo a section of the site in this colour and explain to a few thousand people what it means when they see anyone wearing this colour.

It's a visual impact, something that we have been severely lacking. And who knows, once people start to see how many people actually are opposed to this they may start being slightly more pro-active.

* As a side note if we ever played against Norwich it might get confusing, but **** it.

** We considered black etc but it's hardly noticable on TV or amongst the red/black that people currently have.

*** Let's go one step at a time. Get the people wearing colours who give a ****. If we later want to set off g/y flares, throw g/y scarves or paint the megastore g/y then that is another question for another day.

If you have a green/gold hat, scarf, badge, dog or child then you ****ing hate glazer.

True colours: United fans wear green and gold - the colours when the club were formed as Newton Heath

On Saturday supporters demonstrated outside Old Trafford before the 4-0 Premier League victory over Hull City that saw United regain top spot in the standings. Fans were chanting "Glazers Out" even after Wayne Rooney opened the scoring.

United manager Alex Ferguson used his programme notes to appeal for unity in the face of the financial pressures facing the club and the opposition from fans to the Glazers.

"The family of Manchester United is under pressure as a result of all the issues and controversies surrounding the ownership and financial situation of our club that have been stirred up in the media," Ferguson wrote.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to express their disapproval if they don't like what they see around them, just as it has always been the right of fans to let it be known if they are not happy with the way their team are playing.

"I'm not slow to express disapproval myself if there is something I don't agree with, even in the boardroom with the directors, but once I walk out of the meeting I get on with my job as manager of the team."

Ferguson recognised there was discontent among some fans but stressed the importance of maintaining focus.

"Some of our fans are clearly unhappy with the financial position but we mustn't allow the situation to become divisive."

Fergie Minta Suporter Tetap Bersatu

http://www.unitedindonesia.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=355&Itemid=38

Fergie Plea

In his programme notes, Sir Alex Ferguson pleaded for disgruntled fans to avoid fanning the flames engulfing the club’s owners, ‘Some are clearly unhappy with the financial position,’ he conceded.

‘But we mustn’t allow the situation to become divisive.’

That plea appeared to fall on deaf ears. Some United fans are refusing to wear red — opting for the green and gold of founding club Newton Heath — until the Glazers depart Old Trafford.

Green and gold United protest gathers momentum

Stuart Mathieson
MEN
January 25, 2010

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/764.$plit/C_71_article_1190196_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?25%2F01%2F2010%2008%3A58%3A08%3A810

THE Old Trafford green and gold protest is gathering pace and a new batch of the scarves worn by the anti-Glazer movement is being shipped in for the Carling Cup semi-final second leg against City on Wednesday.

The initial 500 consignment of the scarves were snapped up and sold out for the Hull match as supporters visually and vocally expressed their disapproval of the club's American owners.:-bd hahaha keren!!!

United's support agreed in principal with Sir Alex Ferguson's call for loyalty, but believe his words in his match programme notes indicated for the first time publicly that the manager recognises that all is not well.

Though Fergie implored the fans not to let their unhappiness with the financial situation the Glazer's have dumped on the club to be "divisive", they refused to let the platform for a vocal and visual demo against the Glazers to pass.

There were constant anti-Glazer chants during Saturday's 4-0 win against Hull. And even though a semi-final second leg success against City is paramount, the protestors won't be silenced on Wednesday.

A further delivery of 1000 green and gold scarves - which have become the symbol of the anti-Glazer protest and based on the colours of United's predecessors Newton Heath - will be on sale before the derby.

"We are not forcing the pace with the green and gold protest it is going to happen naturally," says Duncan Drasdo chief executive of MUST (Manchester United Supporters Trust).

"The symbol has a power that has excited people and the momentum is happening without any need to force it.

"The transparency of the bond issue document has angered fans and those previously who were in the wait-and-see camp can now see exactly what's happening.:devil2:

Fans' mood

"People didn't always believe you before when you explained the financial situation but that document has changed that. It was a turning point.

"It's not just the fans either, I have a feeling there is a different mood running through the whole club now."

Ferguson called for unity in his programme notes.

"The family of Manchester United is under pressure as a result of all the issues and controversies surrounding the ownership and financial situation of our club," he wrote.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to express their disapproval if they don't like what they see around them, just as it has always been the right of fans to let it be known if they are not happy with the way their team is playing.

"Some of our fans are clearly unhappy with the financial position but we mustn't allow the situation to become divisive. The danger is that we could be presented as being split, which would be harmful and inaccurate because I believe the vast majority of United fans are behind us and appreciate the importance of standing together in support of the team.

"I could see our opponents rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of watching us fall out among ourselves if we don't all think carefully about what we are doing.

"We must remain loyal to the cause of Manchester United. The staff and players should be quite one-eyed about that and stay true to the history of the club and all the work done by Sir Matt Busby and the other managers who have contributed to creating the great club we have at Old Trafford today. "This is not about stifling criticism; it's simply a plea to stand together."

CEO Drasdo said, "It is very important to be loyal and the fans have always been loyal to Fergie and the players.

"He talks about the Manchester United family and he's right all strands of the family must come together to accelerate the change of ownership because we certainly don't see the Glazers as part of the United family.

"I thought Fergie's words smacked of a conciliatory gesture to the supporters and that he understood our concerns. He has not defended the Glazers in his notes!"

Drasdo launched Reds in Business last September to build relationships between businesses owned or operated by United supporters.

The group now has 2500 members and there are many wealthy businessmen among their number. The bond document has sparked off fresh interest in a possible takeover among prosperous United fans.

"People are doing the sums. They want to know what the options are," says Drasdo.

"The conversations are happening in the United business community."

Jim White: a green and gold twist to Manchester United protest
Many of the walls in Manchester have acquired new decoration these past couple of weeks. The letters LUHG are spray-painted on brick across the city: Love United Hate Glazer the letters stand for.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01568/newton-heath_1568268c.jpg

And at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, the campaign against the sub-prime Americans took on a new sartorial twist.

At least half of the United crowd assembled for the Carling Cup semi-final second leg against their ever more voluble neighbours, City, were sporting green and gold, the early colours of United’s parent club, Newton Heath.

It is a cunning visual protest: not even the most meat-headed of security staff would try to confiscate a scarf. And it has represented a windfall for the merchandising operation that blooms on match days on the pavements around the ground.

Making my way to the game with a friend on Wednesday, he stopped to buy one of the scarves from a freelance marketeer. It was, the man revealed, the last of 70 he had sold in under an hour at a fiver apiece.

And how much of each sale, we inquired, was he passing on to the anti-Glazer movement which had inspired the new fashion?

“Nowt,” he replied, apparently puzzled that we had even asked.

It seems the Glazer family are not the only entrepreneurs with eyes trained on the pockets of Manchester United supporters.

The story behind the Manchester United protests: Good old days that unite army of fans

The inner city, industrial area of Newton Heath lies to the north of Manchester city
centre, hemmed in by the similarly urban districts of Monsall, Failsworth, Miles Platting and Ancoats.

Many of the Manchester United supporters who travelled from around the country to watch their team at Villa Park last night would, perhaps, not be able to find it if they tried.

Once more, however, Newton Heath is somewhere near the centre of United’s world.
Angered and dismayed at the financial climate in which the modern club now exists, supporters of the Barclays Premier League champions have chosen to look into their club’s history for comfort and for an appropriate point of reference from which to mount their challenge to the owners, the Glazer family.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/02/10/article-0-080ECF37000005DC-317_468x260.jpg

The history boys: United adopted the Newton Heath colours as a third-choice kit and their players and staff dressed up to celebrate the centenary of the club’s entry to the Football League in 1892. Back row (left to right): Lee Sharpe, Dion Dublin, Peter Schmeichel, Les Sealey, Eric Cantona, Gary Pallister. Middle row: Andrei Kanchelskis, Brian Kidd, Mike Phelan, Darren Ferguson, Steve Bruce, Lee Martin, Alex Ferguson, Mark Hughes. Front row: Paul Ince, Denis Irwin, Bryan Robson, Brian McClair, Ryan Giggs, Danny Wallace, Paul Parker

Newton Heath, of course, was the name of the club — formed in 1878 — from which the modern United was to grow. Or the Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railways Football Club, to give it its full and proper title.

For six years, during two spells in the late 19th century, the club wore a green and gold strip. And it is these colours that have become the symbol of a growing resistance to the Glazers’ ownership.

It is said that 30,000 green and gold scarves have been sold since they were produced at the behest of the Manchester United Supporters Trust two or three weeks ago.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/02/10/article-1250062-083ADC15000005DC-531_306x423.jpg

Sam Black was Newton Heath’s first star. The full back with a build like Wayne Rooney was club captain from 1883-1887.

At £2.50 a throw they have proved understandably popular. In the region of 15,000 were in evidence as United beat Portsmouth at Old Trafford at the weekend. Last night, there were plenty in the away section, too.

Just five minutes into the game they were being swirled above fans’ heads as the travelling support began their ‘Love United, Hate Glazers’ refrain. Two banners expressing opposition to the Americans and chief executive David Gill were decked in those colours, too.

Already the scarf has become a remarkable symbol. Dreamed up in a room above a pub in Stretford, it has already proved more effective than anything any of United’s handsomely-paid marketing directors could have come up with. One senses it is beginning to make Gill and Co squirm a little — and understandably so.

The modern United, said to be valued at more than £1billion, could not on the face of it be further removed from the club formed by railway workers and small-time industrialists more than 100 years ago.

The only trophy the club ever won, for example, was the Lancashire Cup and for some time they were bettered in league standing by neighbouring clubs such as New Brighton Tower and Glossop.

There are, however, some peculiar similarities that may make some of the club’s more cynical supporters smile a little.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/02/10/article-1250062-080F5251000005DC-514_233x311.jpg

Tables turned: Newton Heath prop up the First Division in 1894 (with last night’s opponents Villa at the top)

Newton Heath were, for example, evicted from their first ground on North Road by their landlords, the Manchester Deans and Canons, in 1893.

Recently the Glazer family warned in a prospectus ahead of a £500m bonds issue that, if their financial situation worsens, they may sell Old Trafford and effectively become tenants too.

United’s founder club also suffered its share of financial woes as it struggled to become established. Money was a constant concern in the 19th century and at one point Newton Heath attempted to raise £2,000 in share capital.

It wasn’t quite the £500m the Glazers have been trying to raise through their bond issue, but it was a substantial sum all the same.

Duncan Drasdo, of the Manchester United Supporters Trust, said: ‘The club has been in debt several times in its history and has always been saved, usually by local businessmen or entrepreneurs. The problem this time is that we really don’t know who is going to come along to save us.’

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/02/10/article-1250062-082E7EAA000005DC-461_468x286.jpg

Dedicated: Supporters wear the Newton Heath colours at Old Trafford

As United’s support has rallied, so the club has attempted to resist. Anti-Glazer banners have been removed — allegedly with force — from Old Trafford, while one steward with 19 years’ service claims he was sacked after attempting to return one to supporters in the club car park.

At Milan in the Champions League next week, there are unlikely to be any offending slogans either. The Italians, according to United, don’t want any. But at Wembley in the Carling Cup final at the end of the month, United are expected to face last night’s opponents against a backdrop of green and gold.

United, of course, have traditionally embraced their own history —but the fact their supporters are now looking to a bygone age to attempt to shame them must
trouble the current board. United fans, blessed with so much talent in Sir Alex Ferguson’s squad, are remembering previous players not for their ability but for their authenticity.

Once, back in the early 1990s, United produced a commemorative green and gold away strip, designed to remind people of Newton Heath. It is highly unlikely they will ever look to do such a thing again.

Manchester United Steward Sacked In Row Over Banner (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/7203021/Manchester-United-steward-sacked-in-row-over-banner.html)

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01575/united_protest_1575340c.jpg

Manchester United's owners have come under renewed attack from disgruntled supporters following news that one of the club's longest-serving stewards was sacked for siding with the Glazer protestors.

The Times reports that CES, the security firm employed by Manchester United on match days, gave Granville Boden, 53, his marching orders after he took back a banner that read "Love United, Hate Glazer", seized from fans before kick-off during the Burnley match on Jan 16, and attempted to return it.

Boden, a steward with 19 years service at Old Trafford, reclaimed the banner at the end of the game with a view to giving it back to its owners.

However, Boden was subsequently dismissed by CES, while four other stewards have reportedly been disciplined for wearing green and gold - the colours of Newton Heath, United's original name when founded in 1878, that have been adopted to represent opposition to the Glazers.

Boden, who accepted why CES had felt the need to sack him, told the Times: “There is a lot of internal conflict between the staff and I think that conflict is only going to grow as the protests against the Glazers gather more momentum.

“There are a lot of staff at the club who are sympathetic to what the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST) are trying to achieve. I don’t regret anything I did.”

David Gill security alert: Anti-Glazer fans turn up the heat on Manchester United chief

By Ian Ladyman
Northern Football Correspondent
Last updated at 10:50 PM on 18th February 2010

Manchester United supporters angry at the ownership regime of the Glazer family have brought their ‘green and gold’ protest to the driveway of Old Trafford chief executive David Gill.

Security has been stepped up at the directors’ entrance at Old Trafford on match-days and it is understood that a member of the security firm that looks after United’s stadium spent time outside Gill’s house on Wednesday as a consequence of the supporters’ protest.

United fans have been wearing green and gold scarves and shirts at recent games as a symbol of their dissatisfaction with the Glazers’ debt-ridden stewardship. The colours are a throwback to the strip worn by United’s formative club, Newton Heath

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/02/18/article-1252097-085B06FB000005DC-38_468x242.jpg

And on Tuesday, as United were in Milan preparing for their Champions League game, a group of fans carried a green and gold banner to Gill’s home in Cheshire to protest against what they see as Gill’s compliance with the Glazers.

The slogan reads ‘Debt is the Road to Ruin’ and is a reference to a quote from Gill while he was initially opposing the Glazers’ proposed takeover in 2004.

The United chief executive has subsequently claimed it was taken out of context and he recently gave Radio 5 Live an interview on Sportsweek when he tried to explain the way the Glazers work with United and defended their record.

Gill was also involved in a heated confrontation with a fan at Birmingham University last week. The row flared when Gill was approached after a question-and-answer session about football finances and was asked to explain comments six years ago.

It seems he will continue to come under pressure as the protest gathers pace ahead of the Carling Cup final on Sunday week when the majority of United fans are expected to wear green and gold.\m/

Fergie support for green and gold protest against Glazer family: 'At least it shows United fans care'

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/02/19/article-0-07FBA4EC000005DC-757_468x286.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson spoke for the first time about the green and gold protest and insisted Manchester United fans have every right to wage their campaign against the Glazer family, as long as it does not affect his team's performance.

The United boss expressed his concern last month that public demonstrations against the American owners were in danger of causing divisions within Old Trafford at a crucial stage of the season.

But asked yesterday if the problem was escalating as the number of green and gold scarves being worn by disgruntled supporters grows, he claimed that fans are entitled to show how much they care about the club.

'It's not a concern,' he said. 'Every fan has a right to complain about what they think is right.

'We also have to run the club the way we think is the right way to do it, and I think we are doing the right thing with the club.

'Obviously there are fans protesting and we understand where it is coming from, but we carry on with the football side of it.'

The colours represent United's roots as Newton Heath, and fans using the scarves and banners to demonstrate against the Glazers have timed their demonstrations so as not to disrupt the team at crucial points in a game.

Ferguson insists it is vital that remains the case as United go to Everton today looking to go top of the Premier League, at least until leaders Chelsea play Wolves later.

He added: 'I've made my point to the supporters that (it's fine) as long as it doesn't interfere with the team. It shows we have fans who care. The foundation of the club is just the same as it has been for years. We have a good youth set-up, the first team is doing well, and that's what concerns me most.'

Asked whether he would prefer to see fans in red, white and black scarves instead, the United boss replied: 'It doesn't matter, they're still supporting the one team.' As Ferguson prepares for another hot reception at Goodison Park after Tuesday's Champions League clash with AC Milan in the San Siro, he admitted the atmosphere inside Old Trafford can often be lacking in comparison.

He said: 'We do have a lot of visitors from all over the world. I've made that point in the past that some fans come here just to sit there and admire a lovely stadium.

'Goodison Park is a difficult place to go to. The atmosphere is electric and it's a real old football ground, but after going through that first 15 minutes in the San Siro, nothing compares with that.

'I don't care what happens tomorrow, I thought the world was starting to fall on top of us in that first 15 minutes. And we survived it. That stands you in good stead.'

Ferguson also called on Paul Scholes to extend his career by another year after the veteran midfielder once again underlined his importance with the first goal in the 3-2 win over Milan.

The United boss admitted there had been no talks over a new deal yet but he said: 'I think it depends on what Paul thinks. His form in the last few weeks has been incredible. There's no need for him to think about retirement. Another year would not be a problem for him.'

Harris calls for United boycott

Football finance expert Keith Harris has called for Manchester United supporters to boycott matches as he plots a buy-out of the club.

Harris, a United fan who has been involved in several takeovers involving Premier League clubs, has previously claimed to have spoken to several interested parties as he attempts to put together a takeover proposal.

And he now says "getting the money together is the easy bit" and that fans must now "force" the Glazer family to sell the club.

Harris, the former Football League chairman, is executive chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce and began working on a possible takeover after being contacted by members of the Manchester United Supporters Trust.

MUST have recently launched a 'green and gold' campaign, with fans donning the colours in protest against the Glazer regime.

But Harris reckons they must be prepared to take further action.

He told the Daily Mail: "The green and gold protest is fabulous, a symbolic and significant message to the owners. But it won't force the Glazers to sell.

"If enough people - and I'm talking about thousands - stop turning up to matches and do not renew their tickets then that does it.

"The supporters have to hurt the Glazers in the pockets. They have to be prepared to take the pain of not watching their club in order to achieve long-term gain.

"It's a big ask, it's a risk, but that is what must happen. The Glazers are thick-skinned and seem impervious to protest. They will not be impervious to enormous drops in revenue."

Referring to his proposed takeover bid, he added: "I would not talk about this if I didn't have full confidence in our ability to raise the money to do this.

"Getting the money together is the easy bit. But we can't make an offer until the Glazers are placed in a position where they are forced to consider it."

PICTURE SPECIAL: Fan boycotts Manchester United club to join the hoards buying green and gold

Parading in front of the embodiment of corporate Manchester United, a street trader does some swift business — another sale of the green and gold anti-Glazer protest colours.

His buyer, Chai, was on his way to the Old Trafford megastore, but decided to join the 30,000 who have already bought into the green and gold revolt at the Red Devils.

Seller John Alesbury is expecting more business before Tuesday’s Barclays Premier League match against West Ham. United fans will then take their protest to Wembley for the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Takeover specialist Keith Harris yesterday urged the American owners to sell the club after claiming he has put together a £1 billion buy-out. He said: ‘The fans have to start boycotting matches.’

Manchester United fans prepare to show their true colours at Wembley

Green and gold will outnumber the traditional black and red at Wembley on Sunday as supporters unite against the Glazers

When a Manchester United supporter still known only as "chatmaster" floated the idea on an internet messageboard that fans might defy the debt-laden Glazer family's ownership by wearing green and gold, he can surely not have dreamed the scale the demonstration would reach. At tomorrow's Carling Cup final against Aston Villa, United fans in their thousands will arrive at Wembley sporting scarves or shirts in those original colours of Newton Heath, the club formed in 1878 by workers on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, which later became Manchester United.

It will, surely, be the first time in football history that fans choose a showpiece final to protest en masse against their club's owners, and that signifies the remarkably educated nature of this United fans' campaign. The half-hearted argument that they have nothing to demonstrate about given three Premier League championships, a Champions League trophy and now yet another Wembley final since the Glazers bought the club in 2005, is having no impact.

Last month the Glazers published their bond-raising prospectus setting out the details of their ownership. The fans know that Sir Alex Ferguson and his team's success has been achieved despite the £716m of debt the Glazers loaded on to the club, the £464m fees and interest for which United have since become liable, and the £22.9m the family have taken out in fees and personal loans. No justification of that, or attempt to say it has not affected the club, from Ferguson, the chief executive, David Gill, or the Glazer family's representative, has swayed general outrage among fans whose ticket prices have steadily risen to pay for it all.

"It had a very powerful impact for fans to see from the Glazers, in their own document, that so much money is going out of the club," says Duncan Drasdo, chief executive of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust. "Green and gold has become so effective because it is a clear way to protest against the Glazers while supporting the team and proposing a better vision for United. It feels now like a widespread movement for change."

The yearning fuelled by this reaction is for United to be owned not by investors like the Glazers, but by the supporters, for the club to be truly a club. Given the scale of finance required to buy the Glazers out, presumably with a profit, and the £716m debts to take on or pay off, this is beyond a movement of ordinary fans. The trust, though, is in contact with the "red knights", a group of wealthy United supporters developing a bid to put to the Glazers. That, Drasdo says, is likely to involve 40 or so people taking a small stake each, and giving opportunities to the trust and fans generally to build up a shareholding.

Andy Green, an investment professional and United supporter who wrote a challenging open letter to Gill last week under his blogging name Andersred, says: "There is a very serious process going on in the City, with investors looking at a structure in which fans can develop as significant a stake as possible. Key will be persuading the Glazers to sell."

Keith Harris, the merchant banker and United supporter working with the red knights group, called this week for supporters to hit the Glazers where the prospectus showed they would be truly damaged, by withholding the money that services all that interest and fees. Drasdo says the prospect of replacing the Glazers with ownership more suited to United's character is hugely important to fans.

"Supporters do have very significant power because the Glazers' financial plans rely on fans continuing to pay their money in a variety of ways," he says. "I think when a very credible bid comes forward, fans will then feel most motivated to wield that power. We already know there is a huge drop in demand for executive facilities, and we believe many people will not renew those subscriptions next season."

The Glazers' representative has declined to comment on any alternative bid, and continued to say the family are long-term investors at United. Yet anger at the debts their takeover has imposed on the club, the other north American "leveraged buyout" at Liverpool, and Portsmouth's financial collapse has popularised the idea of supporter-owned football clubs beyond the passions of a small group of active fans. Supporters from the City of London to the Stretford End are asking why great sporting institutions like Manchester United should be owned by speculators from Florida with no previous connection to it, rather than the crowds of adherents who have supported it for life.

Some fans did turn away from Old Trafford immediately after the Glazer takeover in 2005, and today FC United of Manchester, the supporter-owned club that has since enjoyed three promotions to the UniBond League Premier Division, are holding a rally "Beyond the Debt" at their Gigg Lane ground, to promote supporter ownership.

"Those of us who formed FC United did so because we recognised there was a need to provide a positive, supporter and community-focused alternative," says Andy Walsh, the anti-Glazer campaigner turned general manager of the club. Today's rally will be attended by the Liverpool supporters group Spirit of Shankly, Portsmouth fans and Dave Boyle, the chief executive of Supporters Direct, the organisation that promotes democratic fan involvement in clubs.

Boyle and Walsh were in Brussels this week lobbying the European Parliament for an idea whose time, they believe, has come – together with Uefa, which enshrines in its document "Vision Europe" the idea that clubs should be clubs, owned by the fans. "In an ideal world," it says, "all clubs would be controlled and run by their members – eg supporters – according to democratic principles."

At Gigg Lane today and in green and gold at Wembley tomorrow, supporters will be united in campaigning for football to reassess its tortured relationship with money and rediscover its true colours.

Manchester United would have won the domestic Treble in 1994 if not for Aston Villa beating 3-1 in the League Cup final, with Mark Hughes scoring our only goal.

Interestingly, United wore the green and gold strip during that final, which is a colour that will be reflected in the crowd this Sunday.

Red Knights Ajak Suporter Lawan Glazer
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/03/03/72/fansprotes-reuters-285.jpg

Manchester - Pergerakan Red Knight tak hanya sebatas mengumpulkan dana untuk membeli kembali Manchester United. Kini mereka mengajak suporter MU di seluruh dunia untuk bergabung dalam gerakan menentang Keluarga Glazer.

Seperti diberitakan sebelumnya, Red Knights tengah berusaha mengumpulkan dana hingga 1 miliar poundsterling (sekitar Rp 13,9 triliun) untuk membeli MU dari tangan Keluarga Glazer. Mereka berniat untuk menyelamatkan klub yang kini tengah dililit utang sebesar Rp 1 triliun.

Dalam usahanya tersebut, Red Knights sudah mendapatkan izin dari MUST (Manchester United Supporters Trust), sebuah organisasi suporter yang sejak awal selalu memberikan tentangan terhadap Keluarga Glazer.

MUST jugalah yang memprakarsai gerakan lambaian syal "hijau-emas" dalam laga final Piala Carling akhir pekan lalu. Hal itu adalah bentuk simbolis dari warna Newton Heath yang menjadi cikal bakal MU .

Gerakan hijau-emas itu sendiri sebenarnya sudah dilakukan sejak laga melawan West Ham United beberapa pekan silam. Sebagai aksi tambahan kala itu, para fans datang 10 menit setelah kick off dan tidak memakai atribut simbolis MU yang berwarna dasar merah dan putih.

"Agar gerakan ini tetap hidup, kami membutuhkan dukungan suporter Manchester United dari seluruh dunia. Red Knights telah melakukan hubungan dengan MUST dan perwakilan mereka kemarin," demikian statemen Red Knights di ESPN Star.

"Sebagai langkah pertama, Red Knights ingin para suporter menunjukkan komitmennya dengan bergabung keanggotaan MUST secara gratis melalui online di www.joinmust.org."

"Model kepemilikan yang baru akan bertujuan untuk membuat klub berdiri dalam sisi finansial yang lebih seimbang. Kepemilikan yang baru juga akan menempatkan suporter sebagai jantung dari klub, apa pun yang klub lakukan," lanjut statemen tersebut.

Sementara Duncan Drasdo, chief executive dari MUST, mengatakan pihaknya mendukung apa yang dilakukan oleh para 'Ksatria Merah'. Ia menyebut, hal ini bisa menjadi

"Perkembangan ini sangat didukung karena adanya keinginan luhur untuk mengubah sistem kepemilikian di Manchester United," ucapnya.

"Secara tidak langsung Red Knights menantang suporter MU secara halus, sejauh mana keinginan mereka untuk melihat sebuah proposal kepemilikan baru dikembangkan."

This United goal is green and gold

May the Red Knights oust the Glazers. But this campaign should encourage fans to demand real collective ownership

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/3/2/1267550576515/Manchester-United-v-Aston-001.jpg

A consortium of City bankers is planning a £1bn takeover bid. Such news rarely sounds as promising as it will to Manchester United fans today. The deep antipathy to the Glazer family has hardened after the financial results of their ownership of the club were laid bare in January.

Yet optimism should be heavily tinged with caution. While Malcolm Glazer's route to a takeover was to steadily buy up shares when it was a plc in 2005, the club is now his alone to sell or not. And though this consortium features influential financiers described as committed United fans, football is littered with the debris of owners, chairmen and directors who promised much and wreaked havoc at the likes of Newcastle, Leeds, and Portsmouth.

Even the name Red Knights evokes cringing memories of one Michael Knighton, who promised to take the club soaring from the clutches of the unpopular Martin Edwards early in Alex Ferguson's time as manager.

There may be no such doubts over the credentials or affiliation of the likes of Jim O'Neill, a key player in any bid, but there still seems something unlikely about this Goldman Sachs chief economist endorsing the "collective ownership model" that would give ordinary fans a real stake in the club.

The major, overriding reason that United fans will be backing the Red Knights is simple: the endorsement, and partnership, of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST), whose membership has swelled to 54,000 and is still growing.

Whether it succeeds in ousting the Glazers, the campaign has been an extraordinary one to see. Anti-Glazer feeling has been strong enough to provoke direct action from supporters before now, but it was muted on a wider level – partly by the defence mounted by Ferguson of his American bosses.

After years of subdued resentment, the massive profusion of green and gold – the colours worn by United in the days when they were Newton Heath – has suddenly made visible all that individual anger, the rage shared by the spectators in the next seats and rows. We might look like Norwich fans, but it has been inspiring and energising – the waving scarves and chants have helped create an atmosphere that has not been matched at Old Trafford in years.

The genius of the protest is in providing a way to demonstrate both passion for the club and dissociation from the specific, corporate elements that currently occupy the boardroom.

The green and gold symbolically bypasses the dilemma that Glazer has posed every United fan: do you continue to support, emotionally and financially, a team turned into a company-cum-brand or company run for the speculative financial benefit of a Florida-based family, when the profits are being leached away and the cost of your season ticket is being hiked year after year? Is it better to walk away and start again – as FC United of Manchester did?

Now, to some extent, it feels possible to voice that positive support and massive dissatisfaction at once, as the sight of thousands twirling green and gold scarfs back at the United players and manager parading the Carling Cup at Wembley on Sunday showed.

Whether such a brilliantly simple, visual campaign could work here without the ready-made crowd and constituency of a football club is difficult to know. Yet there are British parallels that go beyond the game: the mass of Labour supporters who have felt their party had been hijacked by a leadership alien to its values, or even those conservative homeowners who want banks for their pensions and mortgages but are outraged by the Fred Goodwins of the world.

In an era where it's easy to believe, from the Iraq war to Cadbury, that most people are powerless in the face of bigger, shapeless forces, even wresting control of Manchester United away from the Glazers would feel a real victory – and a start. The detail that MUST has drawn on some of Obama's campaign consultants should make fans recall that hope doesn't necessarily deliver change. Putting one's hope in a group of bankers may not prove enough, but the momentum the campaign already has could make supporters – of all clubs – believe that shared control is an achievable goal.

Kesatria Merah Gerilya Rebut "Setan Merah"
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z220/CJW010490/luhg2.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Kelompok suporter Manchester United yang berjuang membeli klub tersebut, Kesatria Merah, terus bergerilya. Mereka akan semakin giat menghimpun suporter untuk merebut klub berjuluk "Setan Merah" itu dari kepemilikan keluarga Glazer.

Kesatria Merah menyatakan yakin bisa menghimpun dana 1 miliar pounds (sekitar Rp 13,9 triliun) untuk membeli MU. Namun, keluarga Glazer menyatakan tak akan menjual klub itu.

Meski begitu, Kesatria Merah tak patah arang. Mereka akan terus bergerilya dan memaksa Glazer menjual klub itu. Kesatria Merah yakin bisa menghimpun 10.000 suporter untuk tak memperbarui tiket semusim. Dengan demikian, pemasukan MU akan berkurang dan itu akan memaksa Glazer menjual klub.

Seorang sumber dari Kesatria Merah mengatakan, "Ketika pertama kali Glazer membeli MU pada 2005, klub mengakui ada 100 fans yang tak memperbarui tiket satu musim. Menurut kami, bisa 10.000 orang yang akan menolak memperbarui tiket satu musim."

Suporter MU menganggap Glazer merusak klub tersebut. Sejak kehadirannya, MU bukannya lebih kaya, melainkan malah terlibat utang besar. Glazer dicurigai sengaja menggunakan MU untuk menghimpun utang. Pasalnya, MU selalu berprestasi dan penghasilannya termasuk terbesar di dunia.

"Para suporter merasa kecewa dengan keadaan keuangan klub. Jika banyak fans yang menolak membeli tiket semusim, maka tindakan ini akan menjadi masalah bagi penghasilan klub," tambah sumber itu.

Sejauh ini dikabarkan bahwa Glazer kemungkinan akan melepas kepemilikannya jika ada pihak yang membeli dengan harga 1,5 miliar pounds (sekitar Rp 20,9 triliun). Sementara itu, Kesatria Merah menilai, harga yang pantas adalah 1,2 miliar pounds (sekitar Rp 16,7 triliun). Dengan jumlah itu, Glazer sudah mendapat keuntungan besar.

"Keadaan memang belum jauh berubah. Sekelompok suporter kaya ingin membeli klub. Sementara itu, Glazer menegaskan tak akan menjualnya. Namun, pada akhirnya, suporter akan sangat menentukan sebab mereka punya peran penting," kata sumber dari Kesatria Merah itu. (SCN)

Manchester United fan thrown off MUTV for wearing green-and-gold scarf

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/03/article-0-08642E9C000005DC-930_468x286.jpg

Manchester United have been accused of behaving like a communist dictatorship after barring a fan wearing a green-and-gold scarf from appearing on the club' s in-house television station.

Lifelong supporter Steve Tilzey was thrown off the show Red Cafe on MUTV when he refused to take off the scarf, a symbol of the protests against the Glazer family's ownership.

He said: 'This is censorship. It's symbolic of what is happening at the club and it is bang out of order. It's like being told to leave by the secret police or the Stasi. But this isn't Tianaman Square, it's a peaceful protest.'

Former United players answer questions from supporters on the programme and Tilzey is often a member of the audience.

He added: 'I have been going on it regularly for about 18 months. About 20 minutes into the programme during an advertising break, suddenly I got a tap on my shoulder and there were two or three security guards saying: "You have to take that off or leave." I said: "I will never take the scarf off but I am prepared to leave."

'I don't blame the producer or the floor manager. They got a call and they were told to get me off. Another man was wearing a green-and-gold scarf but he chose to take his off. He must have felt intimidated.

'I went to the bar and people, the crew, the security guards, were coming up to me and saying: "That is so, so wrong".

"I don't wear it to wind people up. I wear it because it's my club. I have been wearing it for the last five or six weeks. I wore it at work and in town and I didn't even think about it when I went to the show with it on. I wore it on the Red Cafe about three weeks ago and no one said a thing. This is the first time the club has gone into press censorship. It's not acceptable.'

And Tilzey said the club's heavy-handed treatment was needless – because he wasn't using the show to ask awkward questions.

He added: 'I had put my name down to ask a question. I wanted to ask Lee Martin, one of the ex-players, about the 1991 European campaign. It wasn't a political statement.'

MU Larang 'Hijau-Kuning' Muncul di MUTV

VIVAnews - Manchester United secara resmi melarang tampilan syal hijau-kuning dalam siaran MUTV. Penyensoran itu pertama kali dilakukan saat salah satu penggemar MU, Steve Tilzey, diminta untuk melepaskan syal tersebut saat acara Red Cafe yang disiarkan oleh MUTV.

Seperti dilansir The Daily Mail, Kamis 4 Maret 2010, Tilzey menolak melakukan hal itu. Pasalnya, warna hijau-kuning tersebut merupakan simbol perlawanan fans atas kepemilikan Keluarga Glazer di MU.

"Ini adalah penyensoran. Padahal, ini adalah simbol atas apa yang terjadi di klub. Kami diminta menanggalkannya oleh polisi rahasia atau Stasi. Tapi ini bukanlah lapangan Tianamen, ini adalah protes secara damai," kata Tilzey.

Sebelum menggunakan syal itu, Tilzey sudah rutin mengisi acara tersebut selama 18 bulan. Namun, ketika jeda iklan Tilzey ditegur dua sampai tiga orang aparat keamanan yang memintanya melepas syal itu.

"Mereka bilang 'lepas itu atau pergi.' Dan saya bilang 'saya tidak akan pernah melepas syal ini dan siap untuk pergi," kata Tilzey.

Keluarga Glazer dituding jadi biang keruntuhan MU secara finansial. Saat ini, Setan Merah terbelit utang sebesar 716 juta poundsterling. Demi menutup utang, keluarga Glazer menjual pusat latihan mereka sekarang, Carrington.

Dan itu artinya MU terpaksa akan berstatus penyewa di lapangan latihannya sendiri. Padahal, tidak ternilai betapa berartinya Carrington untuk Setan Merah.

Terutama karena fasilitas yang dimiliki kompleks itu sangat lengkap. Dari 14 lapangan sepakbola dengan berbagai ukuran, pusat rehabilitasi, fisioterapi, rumah makan, aula, sampai sebuah studio televisi.

Are You United?

http://therepublikofmancunia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/areyouunited.JPG

Red Knights are developing a plan to buy United – and any new ownership model would aim not only to put the club on a sound financial footing, but would also put all of us, as supporters, at the heart of everything the club does.

Crucially, before they take action, the Red Knights need to know that they have the backing of United supporters. They’ve played their part and now we need to play ours by demonstrating mass support. We need to race to our first goal of 100,000 fans.

This is our moment – in the coming days and weeks we can change everything.

We have a window here – and we must rise to the challenge and grasp this opportunity. Or else we risk allowing the Glazers to throw our club’s future away. If we unite now at this crucial time, however, we will achieve real and lasting change.

This is no longer just about protest – this is now our positive movement that can make a difference. And we need your help to seize this moment. Add your support to the campaign and then make sure that all of your friends sign up as well.

Are you United?

There are plenty of questions we have as fans about the Red Knights and I think it would be naive to assume they will provide us with some sort of utopia. I am wary about their calls for fans to ditch their season tickets and am intrigued as to whether they plan price freezes/cuts. However, we at least have a group of people who are claiming they want to do right by the fans and who claim to be fans themselves. To the Glazers, we have always been customers and our club has always been a franchise.

For the Red Knights to have the total backing of MUST suggests that this lot might just be the good guys. I don’t expect them to ride us off in to the sunset but they impressed representatives MUST enough at a meeting on Monday and I am going to trust MUST on this one. Of course, it is up to you whether you choose to do the same.

Red Knights raise £1.5bn for plan to buy Manchester United from Glazer family
The Times - March 5, 2010

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00470/NO35DAVIDGILL_385x1_470546a.jpg
David Gill, the United chief executive, was dismissive of the Red Knights' plan earlier in the week

Sixty super-rich investors have pledged up to £1.5 billion in their bid to seize control of Manchester United, The Times can reveal.

Although the Glazer family have insisted that the champions are not for sale, the leaders of the Red Knights, the group of leading City financiers behind the move, will sit at their round table today to sift through a rich list of applicants ready to back a buyout.

“We thought we had 40 investors — well, it is already 60,” one of the Knights said last night.

It may mean that a bid for Britain’s biggest club could soon be a realistic prospect and that the Knights will be in a position to make an offer that cannot be refused.

The strength of the bid will become clear today when Jim O’Neill, head of global economic research at Goldman Sachs and a lifelong United supporter, and his team analyse the offers on the table at the City headquarters of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, the top law firm.

With him will be Mark Rawlinson, a senior partner at Freshfields, and Paul Marshall, the multimillionaire founder of the Marshall Wace hedge fund.

The Red Knights believe that the club is worth about £1 billion, while the Glazers’ valuation — which they insist does not equate to an asking price — is approximately £1.2 billion.

David Gill, the United chief executive, dismissed the Red Knights out of hand this week, describing their takeover plan as unworkable.

But anger at the massive debts run up by the Glazers that has rippled through the Old Trafford stands is now making waves in boardrooms as it appears that leading investors as well as fans, who have been hit by big increases in ticket prices, are rallying behind the Red Knights.

The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST), which is campaigning to oust the Glazers, said last night that membership was on target for 110,000 — more than doubling in a day since the Red Knights’ plan emerged on Tuesday.

Duncan Drasdo, the chief executive of MUST, said: “The growth rate is absolutely phenomenal. MUST now has more campaign members than the official Manchester United membership scheme.”

There is still a long way to go, though. According to Gill, the Glazers are adamant they will not sell one of the most prized assets in world sport, while O’Neill, who has been given leave by Goldman Sachs to pursue the bid, and his group still have to prove that they have the cash to wrest control from United’s controversial American owners — though they may be able to do so by the end of Friday.

MUTV Sensor Suporter Beratribut Hijau-Emas

Bola.net - Setelah beberapa waktu hanya diam mendapat serangan dari suporter Manchester United, kini manajemen klub jawara Inggris tersebut mulai melakukan serangan balik. Salah satu wujud serangan balik tersebut adalah penyensoran suporter yang menggunakan atribut hijau dan emas oleh MUTV.

Seperti diberitakan Daily Mail, salah seorang suporter United, Steve Tilzey diusir dari acara 'Red Cafe' yang disiarkan oleh MUTV. Pengusiran tersebut terjadi setelah dia menolak untuk melepas syal berwarna hijau dan emas, sebuah simbol protes suporter terhadap kepemilikan keluarga Glazer di United.

"Ini merupakan tindakan sensor. Ini merupakan perlambang apa yang terjadi di dalam klub. Pengusiran ini seperti pengusiran yang dilakukan oleh polisi rahasia (antek pemerintah otoriter, red) atau Stasi (polisi rahasia eks Jerman timur, red). Namun, ini tidak terjadi di lapangan Tiananmen. Protes kami merupakan protes secara damai,"cecar Tilzey.

"Setelah diusir saya pergi ke bar. Di sana, sekuriti yang mengusir saya tadi menghampiri saya dan meminta maaf. Mereka juga mengakui bahwa situasi ini sangat-sangat tidak bisa diterima akal sehat."

"Saya tidak pernah mengenakan syal ini untuk memprovokasi orang lain. Saya memakainya sebagai wujud kecintaan pada klub ini. Sebelumnya, saya selalu mengenakan ini, dan tidak pernah ada tindakan apapun. Ini merupakan pertama kalinya United menerapkan tindakan sensor. Ini merupakan tindakan yang tidak bisa diterima," tandas pria yang kerap menjadi tamu di acara "Red Cafe' tersebut. (day/den)

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/03/06/0534344p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Keinginan suporter Manchester United (MU) untuk menendang keluarga Glazer dari klub itu semakin kuat. Setelah Glazer tak mau menjual kepemilikannya, suporter akan mengorganisasi sejuta fans untuk memprotes dan menekan Glazer agar pergi.

Glazer dinilai memanfaatkan MU untuk kepentingan bisnis mereka. Sejak dia membeli klub itu pada 2005, utang klub justru semakin banyak dan terancam kebangkrutan. Suporter yang menamakan diri Kesatria Merah siap membeli klub itu dengan dana Rp 14 triliun. Namun, Glazer menyatakan tak akan menjual sahamnya. Itu membuat suporter semakin marah.

Manchester United Supporter Trust (MUST) menganjurkan agar suporter MU mengenakan warna hijau dan emas (kuning) sebagai protes. Itu warna kebanggan klub Newton Heath, klub yang didirikan pada 1878 yang akhirnya berubah menjadi MU.

"Tujuannya sekarang untuk memperbesar protes dari Stadion Old Trafford, menyebar ke seluruh dunia. Kami akan mengambil foto suporter di Singapura, Amerika Serikat, dan di seluruh dunia," jelas Sean Bones, Wakil Ketua MUST.

"Dengan menggunakan seragam hijau-emas, Anda masih merasa sebagai Manchester United. Tapi, pada saat yang sama, Anda mengatakan bahwa Anda menentang segala hal yang telah dilakukan keluarga Glazer kepada Manchester United, termasuk rencana mereka," tambahnya.

Bones juga menegaskan, "Ini sekarang lebih dari sekadar protes, tapi sudah menjadi gerakan. Kami ingin menumbuhkan anggota, dari 100.000 pada akhir musim ini. Tapi, dalam dua hari ini, jumlah anggota berlipat dari 53.000 menjadi 106.000. Kami yakin akan terus tumbuh hingga mencapai satu juta."

Sebelumnya, kelompok suporter MU kaya yang tergabung dalam Red Knights (Kesatria Merah) menawarkan diri untuk membeli klub. Namun, Glazer menolaknya. (AP)

United hero David Beckham pins colours to the mast by backing fans' green and gold protest

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/10/article-0-08AACD33000005DC-578_468x475.jpg

Former Manchester United Manchester United hero David Beckham gave his own remarkable support to the Old Trafford green and gold campaign on Wednesday night.

The England midfielder made an emotional return to the club where he made his name, only to see a rampant United crush his AC Milan side.

Beckham, however, still made sure that he grabbed the headlines as he plucked a green and gold scarf from the pitch at full-time and draped it proudly round his neck.
The campaign has grown every week since it was launched in January as a symbol of defiance against the Glazer family who own United.

But Beckham’s gesture, watched from the directors’ box by Avi Glazer, represents one of the most significant moments yet.

He said: ‘I am a Manchester United fan and I support the club. I always will. I saw the scarf there and just put it round my neck. It’s the old colours. That’s all I know. It’s nothing to do with me how it’s run. That’s to do with other people. I support the team.’

Glazer had already endured a difficult night as Sir Alex Ferguson’s team put on a majestic performance against a backdrop of anti-Glazer protests.

On the field, United’s performance was notable for two more goals from the remarkable Wayne Rooney. The striker has 30 this season and it is possible he could even beat the 42-goal haul of former United winger Cristiano Ronaldo from two seasons ago.

United manager Ferguson said: ‘There’s a challenge for him now and he will be aiming for it. I was happy for him to get to 30 goals but he keeps improving. Tonight he was sensational. I thought our second-half performance was marvellous. When we play with that tempo we are difficult to play against.’

On a dramatic night in Europe Ronaldo and Real Madrid went out 2-1 to Lyon on aggregate. This removes one significant obstacle for United as they seek to reach the final for the third season running.

Ferguson added: ‘With this team of ours it does not matter who we play. We have that confidence now.’

The night was glorious for United but not so for Beckham. The former England captain was left on the bench at the start and did not appear on the field until the 62nd minute — seemingly with a tear in his eye.

Beckham did threaten to score with one volley and almost set up a goal with a late cross. He received a rapturous ovation from the Old Trafford supporters and swapped shirts with Rio Ferdinand afterwards.

Beckham said: ‘It was very nice to be back and yes it was emotional. I don’t know if I had a tear in my eye or not.

‘It’s a disappointing night in terms of the result. They are a very good team. When you don’t start the game it’s always frustrating.

‘I wanted to play but I’m part of a team and we have to win together and lose together. I keep saying that Wayne Rooney is such an exceptional talent and that is obvious. Without doubt he’s one of the best players in the world at the moment.

‘This is possibly the last time I will play at Old Trafford and I have been given some great memories from the fans. The way they gave me that reception was terrific and I’ll never forget it.’

Ferguson added: ‘We expected that reception for David. I think he deserved that. He was a great player, he had a great spell here. Normally they always applaud our players, the ones who have had great careers here.’

Milan coach Leonardo conceded that United had ‘dominated’ and added his own tribute to Rooney, saying: ‘Rooney can grow up even more because he is still young. He’s a complete player, strong, fast and he works hard.

'He does a lot of incredible movement and he’s playing in a system that is perfect for him. United play at such speed and often on the counter-attack. That system, with Rooney, is incredible.’

MU Tangkal Gerakan Anti-Glazer
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Manchester+United+v+AC+Milan+UEFA+Champions+i55wx9 zvGgQl.jpg

Manchester - Manchester United berusaha menangkal gerakan anti Malcolm Glazer yang tengah digalang suporter 'Setan Merah'. Sejumlah langkah sudah dilakukan, termasuk melarang pemain berbicara soal hal ini.

Gerakan anti-Glazer lahir atas ketidakpuasan suporter atas menumpuknya utang MU. Gerakan ini dimotori oleh Must, salah satu kelompok pendukung MU.

Dalam beberapa laga terakhir, suporter mengenakan syal warna kuning-hijau sebagai bentuk perlawanan terhadap Glazer. Selain itu suporter juga membentangkan spanduk yang bertuliskan kalimat yang meminta owner asal Amerika Serikat itu angkat kaki dari MU.

Bahkan pemain AC Milan sekaligus mantan maskot Manchester United, David Beckham juga mengenakan syal kuning pasca laga antara kedua klub di Old Trafford, Kamis (11/3/2010) dinihari WIB.

"David telah menunjukkan warna sejatinya. Gerakan untuk perubahan kini semakin tak bisa dihentikan dan kami paham bahwa David tidak sendirian. Dari Eric Cantona dan Andrew Cole, mantan-mantan pemain kami sudah menunjukkan perasaannya soal ini," demikian pernyataan dari Must.

Bisa jadi klub menganggap gerakan ini bisa membahayakan kinerja The Red Devils. Itu sebabnya klub melakukan sejumlah langkah untuk menangkal semakin meluasnya gerakan anti-Glazer.

Seperti diberitakan Guardian, klub melarang pemain untuk membicarakan hal ini kepada media. "Saya tak terlibat dalam hal ini," tukas pemain senior Gary Neville.

Sementara itu bek Patrice Evra berkomentar diplomatis. "Hijau-kuning merupakan warna dari Newton Heath, cikal bakal Manchester United. Fans mengenakan syal warna itu karena mereka mencintai klub ini. Mereka punya alasan untuk melakukan ini, dan saya pikir ini bukan tindakan yang gila," tukas pemain asal Prancis tersebut.

Selain itu klub juga melakukan sejumlah sensor dan editing terhadap wawancara dengan Ferguson yang disiarkan MUTV. Klub juga mengusir penonton di setiap show MUTV, setelah dia menolak untuk melepas syal warna hijau-kuning.

Seorang steward berusia 19 tahun di-PHK setelah ia melepas spanduk anti-Glazer dan mengembalikan kepada pemiliknya.

Di tengah protes tersebut, MU menyepakati kerjasama sponsor dengan Telekom Malaysia selama lima tahun. Ada pun nilai kerjasamanya tidak diumumkan.

"Semua memiliki hak untuk protes dan tentu saja banyak yang mengenakan warna hijau-kuning," tukas CEO MU David Gill.

"Namun kerjasama ini menunjukkan bahwa klub tetap kuat. Menurut saya masih banyak kerjasama-kerjasama lain yang akan kami jalin."

Didukung Bank, Kesatria Merah Menguat
KOMPAS.com - 12/3/2010 | 06:13 WIB

MANCHESTER, Media-media Inggris memberitakan, Bank Nomura mendukung usaha kelompok suporter Manchester United yang ingin membeli klub itu dari Malcolm Glazer, Kesatria Merah. Bank Nomura akan mengambil posisi sebagai penasihat dalam proses pengambilalihan Manchester United.

Polemik Manchester United bermula dari terungkapnya beban utang senilai triliunan rupiah. Belakangan, pendukung mengetahui, Glazer kesulitan membayar utang ini. Mereka menilai Glazer tak becus mengelola klub dan khawatir Manchester United akan bangkrut.

Pendukung kemudian rajin menggelar spanduk bernada kecaman terhadap Glazer pada laga-laga Manchester United, terutama, di Old Trafford. Karena tak mendapat respons sesuai harapan, sejumlah suporter yang kaya raya bergabung dalam kelompok Kesatria Merah, untuk menggelar aksi yang lebih ekstrem, yaitu membeli Manchester United dari Glazer.

Sejumlah media Inggris sempat memberitakan, Kesatria Merah sudah melontarkan tawaran. Namun, Glazer menolak penawaran itu. Padahal, kemauan Glazer menjual sahamnya adalah kunci keberhasilan pengambilalihan.

Meski begitu, Kesatria Merah terus mencari dukungan demi memaksa Glazer membuka pintu negosiasi. Di luar dugaan, mereka mendapat dukungan dari Bank Nomura.

Untuk membantu Kesatria Merah, Bank Nomura membentuk tim yang diketuai Guy Dawson dan Andrew McNaught. Menurut Soccernet, dua orang ini adalah penasihat Dewan Direksi Manchester United, ketika klub itu dijual kepada Glazer pada 2005 silam.

Tugas tim ini adalah merekatkan kelompok-kelompok suporter Manchester United supaya bergabung dengan Kesatria Merah, mencari investor yang potensial, dan mengoordinasikan dan memformulasikan proposal untuk diserahkan kepada Glazer.

United fans urge legends Cantona and Schmeichel to join green and gold protest after Beckham boost

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/11/article-0-08AAC4BB000005DC-528_468x314.jpg

Manchester United's green and gold anti-Glazer movement has called on the club's former greats to follow the lead of David Beckham and join their campaign to oust the owners of the Barclays Premier League champions.

Former United hero Beckham took the green and gold campaign to new heights on Wednesday as the AC Milan player draped himself in one of the movement's scarves as he left the Old Trafford field after his team's 4-0 Champions League defeat against his old club.
David Beckham

True colours: David Beckham wears a green and gold scarf and applauds United fans after Milan's defeat at Old Trafford

And the Manchester United Supporters Trust have now written an open letter to the likes of Eric Cantona and Peter Schmeichel aimed at encouraging other Old Trafford icons to visibly support their war against the club's owners.

Part of a letter to MUST's 131,000 members reads: "I'm sure you were watching the incredible moment when Beckham bathed in green and gold. It's moments like this that justify all the collective effort we've been putting into this campaign. We are showing our strength. We are making a real difference.

'We welcomed a legend back to Old Trafford - now we need to capitalise on this moment and bring other United heroes into our fold.

'We've just written a letter to Beckham, Cantona and all of the former United players which calls on them to join our campaign to reclaim United.

'This is our chance to reach out to the United players who built our club - who led from the front and defined United's success over the past decades. But our club is in trouble - we need them to lead United again right here, right now.

'Beckham united with the fans and led by example. Beckham has shown his true colours, now it's up to us to show ours.

'The time to reclaim United is now.'

Membership of MUST has risen steadily since the green and gold campaign began in January but it surged again after Beckham's gesture, with an extra 3,000 fans joining the fold.

With a group of businessmen naming themselves 'The Red Knights' and trying to raise money to buy United from the Glazers, it emerged yesterday that they have appointed Japan's largest investment bank Nomura to help them.

It is also not beyond the realms of possibility that Beckham may be asked to officially join the group, too.

MUST spokesman Sean Bones said last night: 'What Beckham did was a fantastic gesture from the heart of a United legend who cares passionately about Manchester United and its supporters.

'David is exactly the right type of person United supporters would love to see as a future Red Knight.'

Two of the Glazer family were present at Old Trafford on Wednesday to witness a superb performance from Sir Alex Ferguson's team but also a protest against them that reached a crescendo during the last ten minutes.

Last night United chief executive David Gill said: 'There are protests.

'Everyone has the right to protest and there was certainly a lot of green and gold there last night, you cannot deny that.'

DISGRACEFUL: Club sacks another worker for Green & Gold support !
united-latest.com - 15/03/2010

Club sacks innocent student !
A young and innocent student working for United to earn his college fees has been sacked by the club, after he donned a Green & Gold scarf while serving at a kiosk. This is the second time an employee has been fired for supporting a just and honest campaign... simply, it's a disgrace !
The Glazers and club staff have recently moved to distance any club officials or players with the Green & Gold Campaign. The club has now; 1.) banned players from speaking out publicly about the anti-Glazer protests 2.) strongly told MUTV and MANUTD.COM not to make any reference to Green & Gold 3.) sacked any club official for either supporting or been involved in the campaign, including speaking about the matter !

The club sacked a veteran steward earlier this year for attempting to return confiscated property to a fan - a Green & Gold banner. The steward in question served at Manchester United FC for nearly 20 years, match in, match out. He had never previously been in trouble. And yet the club had no respect whatsoever for the poor bloke for doing exactly what was right. They could have easily given him a warning or a weeks pay suspended, but no, they just chucked him out...

The same a**hle superiors have now sacked a young college student, working part-time and helping out his local club. The student wore a Green & Gold scarf, and his bosses somehow saw it as an offence to fire him for. Since when have your heard of something so mindless: a college student being fired for wearing a scarf ?, surely there is some kind of employee code that can prevent this kind of discrimanation from happening !

It's basically the same as firing a person with a different religion or belief for wearing a religious statement. In this case; the religion or belief is not having the debt-ridden Glazer family in-charge and the religious statement is obviously the Green & Gold scarf.

So, can the bosses really fire an official for wearing anti-Glazer apparel ?, well if the FA got-up off their fat lazy asses we might have an answer. But in the meantime, I will be writing to the club, the FA and Greater Manchester Police on the matter - so they might cough-up an answer for us... stay tuned !

Revolution?
unitedrant.co.uk - Dan. Mon, Mar 15, 2010

http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/wp-content/themes/flashnews/thumb.php?src=http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/rooney-green-and-gold.jpg&h=189&w=279&zc=1&q=95

With an air of rebellion surrounding Old Trafford some of the attention has shifted from a side striving to maintain its dominance. Despite Wayne Rooney’s heroics in recent games there is an uncertainty presiding many squad members long-term status at the club, including both senior players and those on the fringe.

Captain Gary Neville is the heart and soul of the football club but at 35 the defender’s age is now getting the better of him. Retirement this summer is not unexpected and at best Neville will play one final token year as a professional. Paul Scholes is also yet to sign for another season at the club.

Meanwhile some of Sir Alex Ferguson’s more frustrating players face uncertain futures. Anderson – injured for at least the next six months – and Nani are still stuck in the rut of inconsistency. Nani’s brief return to form in January is only a moment in a largely disappointing campaign.

Manager Ferguson must also make some big decisions about his younger players. Gabriel Obertan, Mame Biram Diouf, Ritchie De Laet, Darron Gibson, Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck are clearly far from the finished product. Will each progress into the players they were once expected to be, or be jettisoned to the Championship in years to come?

Even if United take the Premier League this May or head to European glory in Madrid some rebuilding is necessary this summer. Arguably, United needs to invest in another reliable winger, a creative central midfielder and possibly a striker.

World Cup years are not normally the best time to rebuild with grossly inflated prices for many of the best performing players. Mangers often try to do their essential business before the tournament, which begins on June 11.

Ferguson, once again, will face another huge conundrum this summer. Break the bank on a few class acts – Angel di Maria and Karim Benzema for example – or invest sparingly and hope for continued improvement in the current squad.

Benzema or Luis Suarez could prove useful acquisitions and each fits within the transfer policy of only signing younger players that command a high resale price, although neither will come cheap.

With the Argentine Di Maria grossly overpriced Joe Cole’s acquisition, if he remains a free agent, would represent a major coup for Ferguson. A player the Scot tried to sign at the age of 14, Cole still has years at the top ahead of him.

Although Jack Rodwell seems, almost inevitably, keen on a move to play along side his hero Rio Ferdinand a transfer is probably dependant on whether Nemanja Vidic remains at Old Trafford beyond the summer.

What is clear, the club’s financial situation means that United will not pay £50 million for Frank Ribéry this summer. The signing of Chris Smalling suggests another summer of caution in the transfer market that will disappoint many fans.

The green and gold army is gathering strength, although a full takeover seems unlikely in the near term. Whilst fans may hope for a revolution at Old Trafford, don’t expect major changes anytime soon. On or off the pitch.

Ancaman Bagi Glazer Makin Keras

Bola.net - Perjuangan pendukung Manchester United untuk mengusir Glazer dari Old Trafford mengalami perpecahan. Sebagian kelompok suporter memisahkan diri dan menempuh jalan lebih radikal dalam berjuang.

Seperti dikutip dari Tribalfootball, kelompok suporter United penentang keluarga Glazer, MUST mengalami perpecahan. Sebagian dari mereka memisahkan diri dari dan membentuk kelompok suporter radikal yang sama-sama bertujuan mendepak Glazer dari Old Trafford.

Kelompok radikal tersebut menyatakan bakal menempuh cara apapun, termasuk kekerasan dalam perjuangan mereka. Hal inilah yang membuat mereka keluar dari MUST, yang terkenal menggunakan cara-cara damai dalam setiap demo yang mereka adakan.

Menurut salah satu media yang mendukung kelompok radikal ini, tanpa adanya ancaman fisik, keluarga Glazer tidak akan menanggapi tuntutan mereka secara serius. Selain itu, mereka juga berharap agar ketimbang membuang uang untuk berdiplomasi dengan keluarga Glazer, MUST lebih baik membiayai mereka terbang ke Amerika untuk memberi pelajaran para petinggi keluarga Glazer.

FYI :

VIVAnews - Red Knights tampaknya tak main-main ingin mengambil alih Manchester United. Kumpulan suporter itu memasang tenggat waktu Juni nanti untuk membeli MU.

Red Knights siap mengucurkan dana 1,25 miliar poundsterling atau Rp 17,2 triliun untuk membeli Setan Merah. Dan fans MU akan menjadi pemilik saham terbesar.

Menurut Observer, sekitar 30 orang kaya anggota Red Knights akan menjadi investor yang mengontrol United. Mereka siap mendirikan perusahaan baru yang mengundang fans dari seluruh dunia untuk memiliki saham. Proposal ini sedang dipelajari oleh penasihat keuangan dari bank Jepang, Nomura.

Proses akuisisi ini kelak akan membuat struktur kepemilikan MU mirip rivalnya di Spanyol, Barcelona yang dimiliki fans dan keuntungannya dikembalikan lagi ke klub. Keuntungan MU kini justri digunakan untuk melunasi utang besar milik Keluarga Glazers yang membeli United pada 2005.

Red Knights didukung oleh banker macam Keith Harris dan Paul Marshall, pendiri lembaga keuangan yang berbasis di London, Marshall Wace.

Koran Inggris itu juga menyebut bahwa beberapa orang kaya di Inggris siap mendukung Red Knights. Lima pribadi Inggris masing-masing siap menginvestasikan 10 juta pounds atau Rp 137,6 miliar.

Chief Executive MU, David Gill, selama ini mendukung kepemilikan Keluarga Glazers di United. Gill menyebut dana segar masih banyak untuk dibelanjakan di bursa transfer pemain, musim panas nanti.

MANCHESTER - Hasrat para fans dan pengamat keuangan Manchester United yang menamakan dirinya Red Knights untuk mengambil-alih kepemilikan klub dari pengusaha Amerika Serikat Malcolm Glazer ternyata bukan hanya gertakan belaka. Front-man Red Knights, Keith Harris menegaskan bila pihaknya siap melakukan penawaran untuk menyelamatkan United pada akhir musim ini.

Diketahui, sejak dipimpin Glazer United memang harus menanggung hutang besar dari sang owner yang berhutang kepada Bank saat mengakuisi klub pada periode 2003-2005. Kabarnya, bisnisman AS ini berhutang mencapai USD850 juta dan membuat United terancam kehilangan aset berharga seperti stadion kebanggaan Old Trafford.

Tak ingin klub kesayangannya bangkrut, kubu Red Knights pun menyatakan siap mengakuisi saham The Red Devils pada akhir musim ini. Untuk bisa mengambil-alih kepemilikan klub, Harris menegaskan bila kelompoknya telah menyiapkan dana tak kurang dari 1 miliar poundsterling.

“Untuk mengambil-alih kepemilikan klub, Anda harus bisa menjamin keseimbangan klub paling tidak untuk jangka pendek,” papar Harris sebagaimana dikutip The News of The World, Minggu (14/3/2010).

“Inilah mengapa sejumlah orang mengatakan, ‘kapan waktu yang tepat untuk mengakuisi klub?’,” tambahnya.

“Well, saya tidak tahu kapan pastinya. Tapi, kami terus mencoba untuk melakukannya. Jika semuanya berjalan dengan lancar, kemungkinan hal itu (mengakuisisi klub) bisa dilakukan pada akhir musim,” lanjutnya.

Selain tengah mengumpulkan dana, konon Red Knights juga telah menyiapkan rencana radikal untuk mendesak agar Glazer melepas sahamnya. Caranya, dengan menaikkan harga tiket musiman dan memboikot pertandingan. Namun, Harris menegaskan bila supporter akan kembali mengembalikan tiket seperti biasa bila akuisisi klub terealisasi. (acf)

kalau terealisasi, hmmm.... United bakal jadi klub yang benar-benar merakyat.. (halah...)

25% Of United To Be Owned By Fans ?

http://www.united-latest.com/uploads/1/9/5/6/1956984/1806067.jpg?208

Labour is proposing plans that would allow fans take up to a 25% stake in their club, if or when put up for sale. The plans are set to be included in the party's general election manifesto, and comes in light of the huge debts amounted by English clubs over recent years...
The Government could also introduce a window during which fans would be given time to gather resources for a takeover, if the club was put up for sale. The Conservatives have obviously laughed-off the proposals, calling it a 'pre-election gimmick' - but a gimmick or not, it's a darn good idea !

UEFA President, Michel Platini, has already given his blessing for the introduction of fan-run clubs, such as Barça and Madrid in Spain.

"Personally, I think it is a great idea for supporters to invest in a club because they at the end of the day defend the club's identity. They are always there, they are the ones always watching the games." he said.

"There are clubs now where the president is not a national of the country, the coach is not of a national of the country and the players are not nationals of the country. The only ones to have any kind of identity are the supporters."

Among the other plans is a much-needed total reform and overhaul of The FA, something which Ian Watmore attempted and subsequently failed !

In other financial club news, The Red Knights are set to hold-off on a bid for the club until the summer, when they expect that sufficient funds can be raised...

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/columnists/2010/4/7/1270665038583/Police-deny-tactics-inten-002.jpg

The police commander for Manchester United matches has called for a meeting with fans to explain the unusuallyrobust policing tactics during the Premier League champions' 2-1 defeat to Chelsea last Saturday. Chief superintendent Mark Roberts issued a statement through Digger to explain that he had taken legal advice before deploying his officers to accompany the stewards, who occupied the aisles in the Stretford End 20 minutes before the final whistle.

That move angered a section of the United fans, who interpreted it as Greater Manchester Police siding with the club to prevent them unfurling banners in protest against the Glazers. But Roberts said: "I would welcome a conversation with the fans engaged in the protests to reassure all parties that the police remain impartial, that we are not and never will be agents for any interest, but that we will deal with any disorder or allegations in an even-handed manner.

"Additional police resources were deployed at the Chelsea game as a contingency to deal with any confrontation between club officials and supporters. Before agreeing to the deployment, [I sought] advice from the force solicitor."

Roberts conceded that dealing with fans would ordinarily be a matter for stewards but that he sent in his officers because in past weeks stewards had been attacked while trying to clear the aisles of protesting fans. Roberts stressed that his officers have received public-order training and were directed to step in if stewards' actions were deemed heavy-handed. He added: "The officers were to intervene if they witnessed disorder, intimidation or abuse directed at the stewards and it was made clear to the club that the officers would also act if they witnessed inappropriate behaviour by club officials towards fans."
Clarke's feisty first day

Greg Clarke will be thrown into the thick of it when he formally takes up his position as the Football League chairman today. In his first day in post at Gloucester Place, Clarke will chair the league board meeting, at which directors must grasp the nettle of Notts County's breach of the salary-cap regulations. At a meeting of all league clubs in Walsall a fortnight ago there was widespread anger about the Magpies' possible promotion from League Two with an illegal wage bill. Currently, breaches are dealt with through the application of a transfer ban – which has clearly been an ineffective instrument for the Meadow Lane club. The matter has been referred to the board for discussion today, with directors mandated to come up with ways of strengthening the rules to ensure better deterrents to clubs in future. Indeed, in his farewell letter issued to clubs yesterday Lord Mawhinney urged them to strengthen their financial rules in other areas, calling for a ban on director loans in favour of equity-based gifts. A thoroughly sensible measure that would be – however the ideas are the easy bit: Clarke may find it altogether harder to push it through a vote of the clubs.
Shankly's family values

From the Spirit of Shankly to his flesh and blood. Karen Gill, the granddaughter of the man who created Liverpool's boot room, pictured, has joined the campaign to persuade the Royal Bank of Scotland to withdraw its financial support for Tom Hicks and George Gillett's ownership of the club. Her message, which has been sent to the bank's chief executive, Stephen Hester, along with hundreds of other emails from a group called the Kop Faithful, announces her desire to "force the American owners out". She adds: "I call upon Hester to stop the renewal of crippling loans and urge Gillett and Hicks to sell the club with immediate effect to more suitable custodians."
Hill hedges its bets

William Hill has become the first commercial organisation to attempt to capitalise on the changing tides among Manchester United fans. During the bookie's television advert for its "I Will" marketing campaign – which was broadcast around United's Champions League fixture last night – the camera focuses on a fan wearing a distinctive green-and-gold scarf. The voiceover says: "Show your true colours." Hill says the campaign was designed to reflect fans' rituals while being topical, but stressed that alighting on the anti-Glazer symbol was not meant to be an attack on the Old Trafford regime. And this despite Betfair being Manchester United's official betting partner and Hills having its head office in Leeds.

Red Knights sign up team of investors in Manchester United bid

More than 40 wealthy individuals recruited in attempt to buy club from the Glazer family

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/4/9/1270835771981/manchester-united-protest-001.jpg

The Red Knights, a group of investors trying to buy Manchester United, have recruited more than 40 wealthy individuals to help provide a £1.25bn bid kitty.

The Knights, initially 10 people led by Jim O'Neill, chief economist of investment bank Goldman Sachs, are now hammering out a deal structure.

In weekly meetings at the London offices of financial adviser Nomura, the Knights are in the process of deciding whether 50 investors will contribute £10m each, or a slightly lower number will provide more funds per head, but still bringing in £500m.

A further £250m will be found by issuing securities to United's estimated 3.8 million supporters in the UK. The Knights also plan to retain the outstanding £500m bond issued by the club this year in order to reach the £1.25bn valuation.

Manchester United insists that it is not for sale, but experts see it differently.

"It will be [for sale] – everything's always for sale," said Philip Long, a partner at PKF, an accountancy firm that has been involved in football deals. "The model at the moment isn't profitable unless they sell players. The club can't continue making the losses it's made."

The latest accounts of United's parent company, Red Football Joint Venture Ltd, showed debts of £716m and a profit of £6.4m in 2009, compared with a loss of £47m the previous year. The club sold Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m last summer.

The Red Knights admit it will be difficult to come up with a deal structure that satisfies the "egos and testosterone" of all the individuals in its investor group. O'Neill's idea is they will only get a small dividend or return on investment as the bid is conceived as an act of altruism.

But some investors may be after more than a seat in the directors' box and a small dividend, especially those who have individually approached the owners, the Glazer family, with offers of about £1bn.

The plan is for fans to eventually buy out the investors. The institution would be governed by a board that would elect its officials and chairman along the lines of the model used by Barcelona, the Spanish club owned by its 100,000 socios, or members.

But some experts believe such a deal will be hard to reach. Jimmy Burns, author of football books including Barca: A People's Passion, said: "It's going to be incredibly difficult to put together a capital structure which satisfies individual egos – the natural instinct of entrepreneurs is to see a return on their investment – and which in the medium and long term gives a sense of involvement and power to the fans."

Debt-laden English clubs have not had the funds to strengthen their squads this season, and for the first time in seven years England will not have a representative in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Europe's premier competition.

Despite an exit in the quarter finals last week to Bayern Munich, United insist earnings will only improve with the digital and mobile revolution, which will bring games and other appliances to mobile phones.

Manchester United and the Red Knights declined to comment.

Red Knights Lanjutkan Rencana Akuisisi MU

Manchester - Red Knights terus melanjutkan upaya untuk mengambil alih Manchester United. Namun upaya tersebut dipastikan sulit terealisasi lantaran keluarga Glazer bersikukuh tak menjual The Red Devils.

Utang klub yang nyaris menyentuh Rp 11 triliun membuat seluruh suporter MU berang. Berbagai cara dilakukan fans untuk mendesak agar keluarga Glazer segera mundur dan menjual klub.

Salah satunya adalah yang digalang Red Knights ini. Kelompok fans MU dari orang-orang kaya dan berpengaruh tersebut ingin mengajukan proposal untuk pengambilalihan klub pada akhir musim.

Sebuah pertemuan yang memfinalisasi proposal tersebut telah digelar di London. Diberitakan Sportinglife, hal-hal yang dibicarakan meliputi dari mana sumber dana yang akan membiayai proposal tersebut.

"Kami sekarang tengah mengembangkan model keuangan sebelum mengajukan sebuah tawaran. Ini sangat terkait tentang detail dari pembiayaan dan masa depan kepemilikanm" tukas seorang sumber Red Knight.

Sementara itu, digelarnya pertemuan ini disambut antusias oleh MUST, basis fans MU yang cukup besar. "Laporan dari pertemuan yang berkelanjutan akan mendorong pendukungnya karena sebagian besar ingin melihat perubahan kepemilikan," ujar Duncan Drasdo, ketua eksekutif MUST kepada Guardian.

"Mereka (fans) ingin melihat rencana berkembang. Ini adalah kesempatan bagi pendukung memiliki kesempatan untuk memiliki kepentingan nyata dalam klub."

Meskipun demikian, keluarga Glazer belum ada yang memberikan reaksi soal hal ini. Namun yang jelas, mereka masih bergeming dengan pendiriannya untuk tidak akan menjual klub.

Gerakan Anti-Glazer
Suporter Teror Sponsor MU

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/03/12/1026574p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Sekelompok pendukung Manchester United kembali merongrong keberadaan keluarga Glazer sebagai pemilik klub. Kelompok dengan nama United Supporters for Change (USC) itu telah meminta kepada para sponsor MU untuk menghentikan kerja sama mereka dengan klub tersebut.

Dalam aksinya, USC telah mendata lebih dari 400 perusahaan yang menjadi klien "Setan Merah". Kepada maskapai-maskapai itu, USC meminta agar mereka tidak melanjutkan penyediaan beragam fasilitas untuk klub sampai ada penawaran peralihan kepemilikan klub oleh "Kesatria Merah". Sampai sekarang kelompok anti-Glazer itu masih berupaya menghimpun kekuatan untuk mengambil alih saham yang dimiliki Glazer di klub tersebut.

"USC secara tegas mendorong perusahaan-perusahaan dalam daftar ini untuk menolak keputusan apa pun guna memperbarui fasilitas mereka di Old Trafford hingga "Kesatria Merah" memberikan tawaran mereka dan (dengan asumsi ada peningkatan kemajuan signifikan dari pemilik klub saat ini) keluarga Glazer membuka negosiasi dengan Kesatria Merah," sebut USC dalam pernyataan di situs wewantglazerout.com, Rabu (21/4/2010).

Meski mengklaim bahwa gerakan mereka tidak melawan hukum, USC menggunakan cara-cara valandalisme demi melancarkan aksinya. USC telah mendatangi kantor AIG, sponsor seragam MU, di Manchester untuk mendukung tuntutan mereka. Dalam aksinya, USC mengklaim telah mendapat "dukungan dari karyawan-karyawan senior MU FC yang menentang upaya pelepasan aset klub oleh keluarga Glazer."

Aksi penentangan terhadap keluarga Glazer terus meningkat setelah pengusaha Amerika Serikat itu gagal memulihkan utang sebesar lebih dari Rp 10 triliun. Akibat besarnya utang itu, Glazer dikabarkan hendak menjual aset milik MU, antara lain Stadion Old Trafford yang menjadi kebanggaan juara bertahan Liga Inggris tersebut. (IDP)

Glazers Haramkan Hijau Kuning di Old Trafford

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2010/03/04/86092_syal_hijau_kuning_digunakan_para_penggemar_m u_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Penggemar setia Manchester United menyuarakan kekecewaannya kepada pemilik, Keluarga Glazer, dengan menggunakan warna kuning dan hijau di tubuh mereka. Dalam bentuk pakaian maupun scarf, warna itu menggantikan merah sebagai lambang kebesaran Setan Merah.

Kesal dengan perlakukan itu, keluarga Glazer kini dilaporkan telah melarang fans memasuki Old Trafford menggunakan warna kuning-hijau itu. Seperti dilaporkan The Daily Mail, Selasa 4 Mei 2010, Asosiasi Pendukung Independen

Manchester United (IMUSA) menyatakan kalau ada beberapa penonton yang dicegah masuk Old Trafford karena menggunakan warna tersebut. Kejadian ini berlangsung ketika tim cadangan MU bertemu Aston Villa.

"Banyak penonton yang dicegah untuk melihat kemenangan mereka (tim MU muda). Penonton dihentikan CES (tim keamanan yang disewa MU) karena dukungan mereka kepada protes (melawan Glazer) di beberapa acara sebelumnya," demikian pernyataan IMUSA.

"Kami juga diberi tahu kalau ada intel polisi yang bergabung dengan intimidasi ini," tambahnya.

Anggota keamanan CES yang melakukan 'peringatan verbal' diduga tidak menggunakan lencana yang biasa digunakan. IMUSA pun melancarkan 'kekhawatiran' atas tekanan yang diberikan oleh aparat bayaran itu.

Keluarga Glazer dianggap sebagai biang kekacauan manajemen MU. Klan pengusaha asal Amerika Serikat ini bahkan menjual markas latihan Setan Merah dan tidak menutup kemungkinan untuk melepas Old Trafford.

Atas hal ini, para penggemar berat MU yang tergabung dalam Red Knights menyatakan siap membeli saham MU dari tangan Glazer. (one)

United security accused of denying protestors
Soccernet - May 4, 2010

Manchester United's security staff have been accused of denying supporters entry to Monday's reserve league final at Old Trafford because they believed the fans were about to engage in a green and gold protest.

United's reserves celebrate their Premier Reserve League Play-Off success against Aston Villa

But United have played down the incident, saying the initial decision was taken because the size of the banners being carried contravened ground regulations.

"As a result of meetings between the club and IMUSA, banners are allowed at Old Trafford that conform to our regulations,'' said a United spokesman. "Fans are free to protest providing it is in a peaceful way.''

Green and gold scarves have become a visual reminder of the opposition to the Glazer family's ownership of the Red Devils at United matches since January.

Supporters groups opposed to the Glazer regime estimate that "99%" of fans are against the owners, who they hope will accept an offer for the club from the Red Knights group which is due to be launched at some point in June.

Both Sir Alex Ferguson and United chief executive David Gill have backed the rights of fans to protest, even if they do not agree with the sentiments.

Only this weekend, Gill addressed the issue in the Manchester United Disabled Supporters Association magazine Rollin' Reds.

He said: "I have asked the players and they say they are not distracted, but if your question is 'would I prefer all red and white instead of gold and green when you have a full stadium and you are playing host to famous opposition', of course I would.

"If the question is 'would I prefer not to look out of my office and see the scarves they are selling on the street', of course I'd prefer that. But as Alex has said, people have a right to protest.

"Nobody is going to stop that, and in the ground itself we are not going to stop that."

United's security experts CES were accused of ignoring that stance by the Independent Manchester United Supporters Association.

"The reserves played Aston Villa in front of a crowd of about 4,000 but many fans were prevented from seeing their victory as large groups of CES (who were again not showing their badges) stopped people in their twos and threes from gaining entry because of their supposed involvement in protests on other occasions," a statement from IMUSA said.

"We are also told that the local police intelligence officer joined in with this intimidation, giving people 'verbal warnings' for having engaged in legitimate peaceful protests at other matches. This same officer told whoever cared to listen that 'he didn't need a reason' when asked why he was evicting a small number of young teenagers from the ground.

"IMUSA remains deeply concerned about the moral and legal implications surrounding this heavy handed approach to the suppression of legitimate protest."

United won their Premier Reserve League Play-Off match against Aston Villa on penalties to clinch the title, with goalkeeper Ben Foster among the scorers in the shoot-out.

Pemain MU Dilarang Dukung Kampanye Anti-Glazer
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/05/08/72/LUHG-GTY-isi.jpg

Manchester - Gerakan anti keluarga Glazer di kalangan suporter Manchester United terus bergulir deras. Pihak klub sampai melarang para pemain untuk memperlihatkan dukungan kepada gerakan itu.

Musim ini, gerakan anti Glazer diwujudkan dengan cara mengenakan atribut berwarna hijau-emas, warna MU di abad 19. Itu adalah cara para pendukung untuk mengusir Glazer yang dianggap telah merusak MU.

Minggu (9/5/2010) nanti, MU akan memainkan laga terakhirnya musim ini dengan menjamu Stoke City di Old Trafford. Suporter anti Glazer sudah bertekad untuk membanjiri stadion dengan atribut hijau-emas lagi.

Melihat gelagat tersebut, MU kemudian melarang para pemainnya untuk memungut atribut apapun yang berwarna hijau-emas di lapangan.

"Perintah itu datang dari atas yang memerintahkan para pemain hanya boleh memungut scarf, topi dan bendera berwarna merah dan putih saja," bisik seorang sumber di dalam MU kepada The Sun.

MU sepertinya tidak mau kecologan seperti insiden David Beckham. Maret lalu, Beckham yang bertandang ke Old Trafford bersama AC Milan memungut syal hijau-emas yang bisa diterjemahkan sebagai dukungan kepada gerakan anti Glazer.

"Insiden Beckham cukup memalukan buat klub dan mereka tidak mau kali ini Wayne Rooney atau Ryan Giggs terlihat memakai (atribut) hijau-emas," tandas sang sumber.

Angry Manchester United fans protest outside Old Trafford as hate campaign against Glazers escalates

A mass anti-Glazer protest took place at Old Trafford ahead of this afternoon's Barclays Premier League meeting between Manchester United and Stoke.

With feelings running high on the final day of the season, hundreds of supporters congregated outside the directors' box and chanted venomous anti-Glazer songs before being moved on by police.

Up in smoke: Manchester United fans protest against the Glazer family

There were unconfirmed reports of at least one smoke bomb being let off inside the Megastore at the front of the stadium, and at least one injury being reported as a result.

Avram Glazer, the co-chairman of Manchester United, had been due to attend this afternoon's game but never made the journey due to flying restrictions imposed because of the on-going ash cloud disruption.

Angry: United fans vent their fury outside Old Trafford before the clash against Stoke

The demonstration is the start of an escalation in the anti-Glazer campaign, aimed at driving the Americans out of Old Trafford.

A bid from the Red Knights group of wealthy United fans is expected in the next few weeks, although the consistent stance from the Glazer family has been that they are not interested in doing a deal.

Mock-up: Fake banknotes showing the face of Manchester United's US owner Malcolm Glazer

The Glazers have never been welcomed by a minority of supporters, but those feelings have grown markedly this season as the full scale of the debts incurred in their controversial takeover have become clear.

A successful bond issue earlier this year highlighted the potential for the sale of both Old Trafford and the club's state-of-the-art Carrington training complex should the Glazers hit problems with the repayments.

Altogether now: Supporters' protest continued inside Old Trafford

Although he has backed the Glazer family, Sir Alex Ferguson has previously defender the supporters' right to protest, whilst chief executive David Gill admitted he would prefer to see fans wearing the club colours of red and white rather than the highly visual green and gold scarves now being worn by a vast majority of supporters.

Sir Alex Ferguson signs a Manchester United protest scarf

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/08/article-1275460-08CF9BB6000005DC-483_306x423.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson has been caught on camera autographing a green-and-gold Manchester United protest scarf.

On the day the players had been warned to steer clear of the dissident supporters' anti-Glazer campaign, a mobile phone video clip appeared on a United fan website last night clearly showing the manager taking the scarf from a fan and signing it.

The green-and-gold scarves have become a highly visible sign of supporter rebellion against the club's American owners, the Glazer family, who are being blamed for saddling Old Trafford with debts exceeding £700million.

Yesterday, United made it clear to their players not to pick up any green-and-gold scarves thrown by fans in their direction during the end-of-season lap of honour after today's game against Stoke.

Ferguson has publicly been neutral towards the movement. With the Red Knights - the group of wealthy businessmen who want to oust the Glazers - poised to launch a £1.2billion bid for the club, the influential Manchester United Supporters Trust are planning a protest today.

Protes Anti-Glazer Terus Berlanjut
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/05/10/72/LUHG-GTY-isi.jpg

Manchester - Pekan terakhir dari Premier League musim ini dijadikan ajang berdemonstrasi oleh sekelompok pendukung Manchester United. Yang disuarakan masih sama: meminta keluarga Glazer melepas kepemilikan The Red Devils.

Musim ini, gerakan anti Glazer diwujudkan dengan cara mengenakan atribut berwarna hijau-emas, warna MU di abad 19. Itu adalah cara para pendukung untuk mengusir Glazer yang dianggap telah merusak MU.

Protes tersebut berlanjut sebelum laga melawan Stoke City, Minggu (9/5/2010) malam WIB. MU menang 4-0 dalam laga tersebut, namun gagal mempertahankan mahkota juara Liga Inggris. Bisa jadi, kegagalan ini membuat protes semakin kencang.

Protes yang berlangsung di depan MU Megastore--masih berada di wilayah Old Trafford--dikabarkan ESPN Star sempat berlangsung ricuh. Satu bom asap dilepaskan dan ada satu orang yang cedera.

Untuk menghentikannya, para anggota Red Knights--yang terdiri dari sekelompok jutawan pendukung MU--berniat untuk terus melancarkan penawaran mereka pekan ini. Sejauh ini usaha mereka untuk membeli 'Setan Merah' belum membuahkan hasil lantaran keluarga Glazer keukeuh untuk tak menjual MU.

Entah sampai kapan protes ini akan berlangsung. Yang jelas, warna hijau-emas di Old Trafford kini semakin ramai.

Red Knights won't be bullied into paying high price for Manchester United as unrest grows

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/10/article-1276280-0981A621000005DC-201_468x286.jpg

The Red Knights group of investors have said they will not overpay for Manchester United as the voices of discontent from the fans grow ever more threatening.

Huge demonstrations took place at Old Trafford on Sunday as opposition to the Glazer ownership was ratcheted up another notch.

With smoke bombs being released outside the Megastore and a 10-minute protest outside the directors' entrance, fans opposed to United's controversial American owners appeared to be signalling an escalation in their battle to seize control.

The move appeared to be directly linked to the knowledge that the Red Knights group will be lodging a bid for the club, which is expected to be put before the Glazer family prior to the World Cup.

However, the constant stance from the Glazer camp has been that they are not interested in doing a deal.

It was reported last week the family have already turned down a £1.5billion offer from a Far East consortium, which in itself was interpreted as an attempt to drive up the price.

But the Red Knights group, led by wealthy investment banker Jim O'Neill have now signalled they will not overpay in order to ensure United do not find themselves in an even more difficult financial position that they are at present.

'The Red Knights are continuing to seek to assemble a consortium to acquire Manchester United,' said a statement released on behalf of the group this morning.

'Our primary goals remain to facilitate a return of ownership of the club to its supporters and the community; and to restore the financial health of the club.

'The response continues to be encouraging but the process to achieve it is understandably complex and is taking time.

'We have had productive conversations with potential investors in recent weeks which have reinforced our belief that it is wrong to offer above fair value, particularly given the urgent need for the club to reduce debt; and that fair value is likely to be reducing over time given the headwinds facing the game of football.

'Accordingly we will continue to build support in a measured way and will give a further update in due course.'

It has been suggested the Red Knights do not want to offer more than £1billion, although it is hard to see how such a bid would prove attractive.

Sources close to the Glazer camp continue to claim the vast debts incurred by the club are not impacting on Sir Alex Ferguson's ability to do business in the transfer market.

They also insist that a number of recent sponsorship deals indicate the business community have no problem dealing with the Glazer family.

However, the Manchester United Supporters Trust has warned that if the Glazers turn the Red Knights offer down, they will immediately call for a boycott of season tickets and club merchandise in order to wreck the family's financial blueprint.

Glazers warn Sir Alex Ferguson they won't break bank to wage war at Manchester United

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/10/article-1276823-0981A6F4000005DC-49_468x325.jpg

Manchester United's attempts to regain the Barclays Premier League title from Chelsea will not tempt the deposed champions to break their wage structure, it emerged last night.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been told by the club's owners he can spend as much as he thinks is appropriate on transfer fees this summer but has been warned that the club will not pay inflated wages.

Aware that Chelsea and, in particular, neighbours Manchester City are happy to throw huge salaries at the world's best players, United have taken an in-depth look at their own policy.

It is understood that although United are aware it could cost them players, as it did when Karim Benzema moved to Real Madrid from Lyon last summer, Ferguson, chief executive David Gill and the Glazer family will stick to the methods they believe have contributed to their success over the years.

Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs are among United's top earners with wages in excess of £100,000 a week. That figure is likely to be exceeded when Wayne Rooney renegotiates his contract at the end of the summer.

However, these figures pale in comparison with Emmanuel Adebayor's £190,000 a week at City and the £150,000 Chelsea pay John Terry and Frank Lampard. City also offered Chelsea skipper Terry more than £200,000 a week to join them last summer.

According to Old Trafford sources, the club lost Benzema to Madrid last summer when the France striker demanded 'stupid money', even though United had agreed a £30million transfer fee with Lyon.

This could happen again this summer but United remain sanguine and confident that a policy aimed at keeping the club's dressing room strong will not backfire.

With much attention still being directed at the stewardship of the Glazer family, sceptical United fans will no doubt feel the Glazers' financial restrictions are stopping the club from being competitive in the transfer market.

Nevertheless, the owners' message is that the manager will be given the £40m that remains unspent following last summer's £80m sale of Cristiano Ronaldo and more if he wants it.

So far, the feeling is that Ferguson, rightly or wrongly, will not make stellar signings as he looks to make up ground on Chelsea. Having already recruited Fulham defender Chris Smalling and Mexican striker Javier Hernandez since Christmas, United have now added six players - Michael Owen, Gabriel Obertan, Mame Biram Diouf and Antonio Valencia were brought in last summer - since Ronaldo was sold a year ago.

Ferguson has suggested that two more will arrive in the coming weeks, one of whom is sure to be a goalkeeper, but it appears that United fans keen for a really big arrival may have to wait a while longer.

Yesterday the Red Knights group currently looking to put together a £1.2billion buy-out package released a statement saying they will not attempt to pay over the odds for the club.

This came on the back of leaks from the Glazer camp last week that the family had already turned down £1.5bn from a consortium in the Far East.

A spokesman for the Red Knights group said last night: 'We have had productive conversations with potential investors in recent weeks which have reinforced our belief that it is wrong to offer above fair value, particularly given the urgent need for the club to reduce debt; and that fair value is likely to be reducing over time given the headwinds facing the game of football. Accordingly, we will continue to build support in a measured way and will give a further update in due course.'

It is understood that the Glazers remain determined not to sell United and it was even suggested last night that they would be happy to receive a Red Knights offer just so that they could turn it down.

Red Knights' takeover of Manchester United looks doomed to failure
• Key players in consortium becoming disaffected
• Offer would be only for 'face-saving purposes'

The Red Knights' attempt to take control of Manchester United looks increasingly doomed to failure after it emerged that key players within the consortium have become disaffected and are losing hope of persuading the Glazer family to relinquish power at Old Trafford.

Senior figures involved with the Red Knights have told the Guardian there are internal divisions and that they suspect they are fighting a losing battle when it comes to putting together a takeover bid of sufficient value to end the Glazers' unpopular regime.

Although the consortium is rigidly maintaining its public stance that it is confident of being in power for the start of next season, one of the businessmen prominently involved has lost confidence to the point that he believes they might not even submit a bid were it not for the criticism they would attract after such a highly publicised campaign. His belief is that, if they did lodge an offer, it would be for "face-saving" purposes, in the knowledge that it would be turned down, and that it would not be followed up with an improved bid. Instead it would lie dormant, with the Red Knights claiming the Glazers were over-pricing the club.

Another high-level source has said the problems arise from bringing together so many different investors, many of whom have contrasting visions for the future, particularly when it comes to the possibility of giving the club's supporters a substantial percentage of the ownership. The Red Knights have made a point of embracing groups such as the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) but internally there are people involved who believe they have made a mistake leading such an aggressive campaign through the media, publicly criticising the Glazers in the process.

The group of wealthy United-supporting individuals, put together by the investment banker and former Old Trafford director Jim O'Neill, have been operating with a carrot-and-stick approach – the carrot being a bid, probably around £850m, and the stick being a recommendation for season-ticket holders not to renew under the current regime.

The idea was that a mass boycott would put financial pressure on the Glazers and almost bully them into believing they should sever their ties with the club. The Red Knights guaranteed, in turn, that boycotters would eventually get their season tickets price at reduced prices but it has since become clear to O'Neill and his colleagues that there is not enough support for the move and that it would have little impact on the Glazers.

The club says it is relaxed about selling all 55,000 season tickets and filling Old Trafford for every home match next season. "If there's a threat, then we'll see but our season ticket sales and renewals for this upcoming season are on track for previous years," the chief executive, David Gill, said. "Our executive ticket renewals are on track, so we'll have to see at the start of the season, but we're envisaging sell-out crowds going forward for Manchester United."

The Glazers took control at Old Trafford in 2005 and have the backing of the club's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, but the supporters have been waging a hostile campaign against them, leading to voluble protests at every match.

"It really is incredible but since the Glazers took over they have wasted £437m in fees and interest, more than the total ticket revenue (£398m) for the full five-year period of their ownership," said a MUST spokesman. "Every single penny we've spent on our tickets over their five-year ownership has been wasted. Or to put it another way, every one of us could have attended every match free of charge for the last five years and on top of that the club could have given every season-ticket holder £700 each – and would still have been no worse off."

The Glazers maintain that the club is not for sale and, privately, they have described the Red Knights as "naive". The Florida-based family say they have already turned down several offers, including a £1.5bn bid from the Middle East towards the end of last year. That figure has been disputed by the Red Knights, whose information is that it was £1bn, but their own efforts to put together a bid have been described by one key figure as "looking a bit grim".

In their last public statement the Red Knights admitted the "process [of formalising a bid] is understandably complex and taking time" and that it would be "wrong to offer above fair value".

It is understood that the Glazers remain determined not to sell United and it was even suggested last night that they would be happy to receive a Red Knights offer just so that they could turn it down.

Ferguson: Glazers are great owners

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/970.$plit/C_71_article_1240748_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?21%2F05%2F2010%2010%3A27%3A30%3A898

Sir Alex Ferguson has again defended Manchester United owners the Glazer family for their constant support despite much criticism.

"They've been great owners," he said. "They have supported me every way I've asked them.

"There's no other reason to think they haven't supported me. If you look at any time I've wanted a player they've provided the money; if you look at what we've done this season - and people don't recognise this - we've spent over £20million on young players.

"We've bought Chris Smalling, Mame Diouf and Javier Hernandez.

"People don't realise how we're structured and how we see our future of the club. We've always based it on a nucleus and foundation of young players developing in the club."

The demand for instant success, though, and the "greed" of foreign owners makes Ferguson believe a salary cap will not be introduced in football any time soon.

"I don't think so," he said. "This has been talked about for many, many years. There must be concern about the level of salaries in the game.

"But, football is worldwide game and there's a lot of greed, particularly with the types of owners that come into the game - Russians, Americans, Middle-East owners.

"Salary caps will not come into their domain in the sense of the wealth they have and what they can do with that wealth.

"They can attract the best players through that wealth and I just don't see that salary caps come into their area of thinking."

Foster message for United fans
MEN - May 22, 2010

Ben Foster has urged Manchester United's supporters to quell their protests against the Glazer family's ownership and instead show their backing for the club.

Goalkeeper Foster this week secured a £6million move from United to Birmingham, and the 27-year-old's remarks are likely to stir up anger in the supporters he is leaving behind at Old Trafford.

The Red Knights group of wealthy United supporters have recently promised to attempt to oust the Glazers from the club, which is carrying debts in excess of £700million.

Led by leading investment banker and former United director Jim O'Neill, the Red Knights have been inching towards lodging a formal bid for the Old Trafford outfit, which had been anticipated prior to the World Cup's opening game on June 11.

However Foster believes the club is functioning well and suggests fans could make a greater contribution by diverting their energies.

He said: "There's maybe too much made of it by the supporters. They are obviously passionate about Manchester United, but sometimes they need to focus on supporting the club a bit more than getting carried away with the technicalities of who's in charge.

"Personally, I think the Glazers have always put money in to Manchester United to buy players when needed. Having said that, I don't think the manager needs to buy too many players there anyway. They have a lot of good youngsters coming through the ranks."

Glazer family to keep cash in Manchester United coffers - for now
The Glazer family will not use cash generated by the club to pay down any of their hugely expensive payment-in-kind (PIK) loans in this financial year, despite having access to up to £95 million as a result of the recent bond issue.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01644/go-glazers_1644188c.jpg

Telegraph Sport understands that the Glazers did not take advantage of the available dividend to tackle the £212 million PIK loans in the first quarter of this year, and it is thought they will not take money out of the club before the end of June.

The decision to leave cash in the club for the time being is practical and political. Practically they insist that cash left will give Sir Alex Ferguson a war chest should he seek to strengthen the squad this summer.

Politically, meanwhile, it may assuage some supporter unease at their stewardship. One of the primary reasons for issuing the bond was to free the family from restrictive covenants on bank debts that prevented them from tackling the PIKs, which could grow to £600 million by maturity if not paid off.

With the Green and Gold campaign and the Red Knights watching for any sign that the dividends allowed for in the bond had been taken up, the decision to hold off until at least the autumn may draw some sting from the anti-Glazer campaign.

The club also remain confident that the growing commercial operation exploiting regional sponsorship opportunities in new markets, will make the annual £50 million interest bill to bond holders easy to stomach.

Executives are anticipating commercial income exceeding match-day and broadcast revenue within five years, with the mobile phone and, irony or ironies, financial services offering the greatest opportunity for growth.

Manchester - Keluarga Glazer kembali menegaskan bahwa klub Manchester United tidak dijual. Pemilik klub MU ini juga menegaskan bahwa mereka tidak akan meladeni segala tawaran yang datang.

Pemilik klub MU dari Amerika Serikat ini telah mendapat tekanan sejak sekelompok fans fanatik MU, yang menamakan diri Red Knights telah menyatakan siap membeli MU dari tangan Keluarga Glazer pada awak tahun ini.

Begitu juga dengan tindakan para suporter dengan syal hijau-emas sebagai simbol protes kepada keluarga Glazer. Kepala Eksekutif MU David Gill pekan ini pun sudah mengatakan bahwa mereka semakin lelah dengan protes tersebut.

Keluarga Glazer pun kembali menegaskan bahwa mereka tidak akan menjual klub yang bermarkas di Old Trafford ini. Mereka juga menegaskan bahwa tidak akan mempertimbangkan semua tawaran yang ingin membeli MU.

"Pemilik tetap berkomitmen penuh dengan kepemilikan jangka panjang mereka di klub ini. MU tidak dijual dan pemilik tak akan menerima tawaran apapun," tulis statement keluarga Glazer seperti dilansir Sky Sport.

Selain itu, dalam laporan MU juga mulai menunjukan pertumbuhan di segala bidang pendapatan mereka, terlepas dari hari pertandingan, yang turun 1 juta poundsterling, dibandingkan periode tiga bulan yang sama tahun lalu.

Gill: Green and gold will go away

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/539.$plit/C_71_article_1241390_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?28%2F05%2F2010%2008%3A12%3A51%3A565

David Gill is confident United will continue to be a top club David Gill is confident United will continue to be a top club
Manchester United chief executive David Gill believes the 'green and gold' movement at Old Trafford will fade away and labelled it a "visible minority" which would "go away".

The fans' group against the Glazer family's ownership of the club gained momentum last season with an increasing number of supporters wearing the green and gold scarves at United matches, representing the club's early incarnation as Newton Heath.

Gill believes, however, that many of the supporters who wear the scarves do not fully understand the meaning of the protest.

The 52-year-old also denied assertions that the debts the Glazers have saddled on United - reported to be around £500million - are inhibiting the club's progress, and claimed quarterly figures due to be released today will show the club has the money to fulfil boss Sir Alex Ferguson's summer spending.

"The green and gold campaign and the momentum behind that can get a bit tiring," Gill told The Independent.

"We understand people's desire to protest and I think it is a minority. It's a visible minority in the stadium.

"Would we prefer not to have them [green and gold scarves]? Yes. They have a right to protest. A lot of the fans clearly care about the club and that is a strength.

"But a lot of the other fans want to know that the team is playing attractive football, exciting Manchester United-style football, winning football. Who owns it is a bit irrelevant to them.

"I think that [the green and gold] minority will go away. A lot of people understand what it means but a lot of them don't."

Regarding the financial plight of the club, Gill added: "I firmly believe that the financing we have in place and the growth we have seen in our commercial operations, even with the [annual] interest of £45million, we can sustain that and still be a top, top club.

"We can invest in the players, invest in the training ground - we have plans for that - invest in the stadium and do those things.

"The money is definitely there. The results for the quarter ending March 31 will show the figures are about £95million cash.

"We are not in a situation where Alex is restricted in what he wants to do with the club."

Gill also moved to discredit the Red Knights group that are aiming to takeover the club, saying their ambitions are doomed to failure.

"It [the Red Knights plan] is not an easy model when you get all those people to sign up," he said.

"There are different levels of investment. To then say, 'we are going to involve the fans'? It is not easy.

"I have experienced running a football club and I do firmly believe that short, sharp decision-making is what is needed. Whether you are buying a player or whatever, you need to get on and do it.

"Also the people involved [with the Red Knights] clearly have an ego about them and when people have that sort of money they want to be involved in decision-making.

"They are not going to do it just for seats in the boardroom and they are going to want to protect their investment. That's quite an interesting challenge."

Anti-Glazer fight to persist
Supporters trust insist Glazer statement changes nothing

http://img.skysports.com/10/02/800x600/Manchester-United-anti-Glazer-flag_2416475.jpg

Manchester United's anti-Glazer campaigners are refusing to believe the club's owners do not want to sell.

On Friday, the Glazer family confirmed they had no interest in offloading the club despite pressure from disapproving fans who are critical of their methods.

Their statement seemed to end any hope of the Red Knights consortium buying them out as they wish to reduce the huge debts incurred by the Glazer family's takeover in 2005.

However, the Manchester United Supporters Trust, who launched the successful green and gold campaign at the start of the year, are refusing to back down, insisting they will carry on their fight.

"The last time Manchester United was 'Not For Sale' was back in 2005 and what happened next - the Glazer family bought it," said MUST chairman Duncan Drasdo.

"It is clear from the reactions on the Manchester United message boards that supporters are not buying into the spin coming out through the Glazers' PR machine.

"If the club really isn't for sale why would they need to say anything at all? Why are they so concerned about telling everyone they don't want to sell? If they don't want to sell they can simply reject any offer. It sounds like the gentleman doth protest too much."
Boycott threat

Should a Red Knights' bid be turned down, MUST are expected to call for a boycott of season tickets and other merchandise in an effort to hit the Glazers' various income streams.

Yet United have appeared increasingly bullish about the effect such a call would have, with chief executive David Gill recently claiming the sale of season tickets was virtually in line with expectations and not giving any hint of a potential problem.

Certainly there appears little that is going to shake the Glazers from their position, having reported a reduction in the overall debt to £520million and growth in all areas, with the exception of a relatively minor £1million decline in matchday income.

"The board noted recent press speculation regarding a possible bid for Manchester United," the statement read.

"The owners remain fully committed to their long-term ownership of the club.

"Manchester United is not for sale and the owners will not entertain any offers."

Manchester United chiefs David Gill fears the green and gold protest will never fade away

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/06/01/article-0-08824702000005DC-472_468x286.jpg

Manchester United chief executive David Gill admits he does not think the 'Green and Gold' protests are going to be abandoned.

A meeting is due to be held later this week between members of the Red Knights consortium aiming to gain control at Old Trafford, even though the Glazer family have made it perfectly clear they are not interested in a sale.

The group is hoping to piggy-back on the momentum gained by the highly-visual green and gold campaign, which has attracted the support of the majority of match-going fans.

And while Gill does not think a sale to the Red Knights is either likely or a good idea, he accepts the green and gold will be back next season.

'I don't think they will go away,' said Gill.

'There is a protest movement there and a lot of people feel exercised by it and very passionate about it. That is one of the strengths of Manchester United.

'There were some comments last week that I was belittling the protest. That could not be further from the truth. We understand it and it will be there.'

Nevertheless, Gill would prefer to stare out of the directors' box at a sea of red and white scarves rather than the colours of Newton Heath, particularly as the idea of a large group of people controlling affairs at United appears, to him, unworkable.

'My experience of being at this club for 13 years and being involved in business before that, [suggests that] having a whole group of people running Manchester United would be difficult,' he said.

Red Knights Terbentur Tembok
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/06/03/72/RedKnightsGetty-isi.jpg

Manchester - Perjuangan Red Knights untuk membeli Manchester United dari Keluarga Glazer terus menemui jalan buntu. Berapa pun harga yang diajukan, penolakan terus diberikan.

Simbol perlawanan Red Knights sebenarnya mendapatkan dukungan kuat dari sebagian besar pendukung MU. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari ramainya syal warna emas-hijau berkibar di Old Trafford, alih-alih warna merah yang merupakan warna kebesaran 'Setan Merah'.

Tetapi, apa boleh buat. Keluarga Glazer selaku pemilik sah The Red Devils berkali-kali mengatakan bahwa mereka tak akan menjual MU. Bahkan penawaran terakhir dari kubu Red Knights ditolak mentah-mentah.

Menyerah? Sepertinya tidak. Red Knights, yang terdiri dari beberapa pengusaha yang merupakan pendukung sejati MU, tampaknya memilih untuk menunggu momen tepat sampai Keluarga Glazer melunak.

"Red Knights akan terus mengejar tujuan mereka untuk membawa kepemilikan Manchester United kepada para suporternya, dan berada di bawah struktur yang bebas utang," demikian statemen mereka seperti dilansir Daily Mail.

"Sejak tujuan kami mengemuka di bulan Maret, kami hanya akan mencoba membeli klub ini pada harga yang masuk akal, sejalan dengan konsistensi kami terhadap ketertarikan dengan klub ini."

Daily Mail menyebut, para 'Ksatria Merah' itu bakal menunggu sampai muncul indikasi bahwa MU bakal dijual dengan harga 1 miliar poundsterling. Menurut mereka, itu adalah harga yang mungkin diajukan jika melihat kondisi pasar saat ini.

Andy Mitten: Reds face battle for fans
MEN - June 16, 2010

South Africa may command the attention of the football world but much closer to home the staff in United's ticket office are counting up the season ticket renewals.

They won't have to worry about the extra workload of Gary Neville's testimonial, which was scheduled to be played this summer but has now been postponed.

A big-name opponent on a relatively limited budget was required.

Glasgow Rangers appeared to fit the bill until police wisely stepped in to block such a game. The people of Manchester saw enough Rangers fans fuelled on cheap alcohol to last a lifetime when the Govan hordes were in town for the 2008 UEFA Cup final.

While there are many genuine Rangers fans who know how to behave, the drunken damage has been done.

Sunday was the deadline for season ticket renewals at Old Trafford and, despite prices being frozen following the sustained protests by fans, the renewal figures seem to be well down on the same point last year.

United will reason that many fans usually need a gentle reminder to renew after the deadline and a United spokesman said: “We are very happy with the renewals. Based on previous years we are very confident with the way it has gone.”

Anger

But it seems there has still been an underwhelming response from Reds, many of whom are angry at the Glazer ownership and the huge debts attached to the club.

Sales of executive tickets are understood to have been especially low so far and given that the waiting list for season tickets for many sections of Old Trafford is now non-existent, expect United's marketing department to start advertising the merits of owning a season ticket throughout the summer.

Without any big-name signing so far, United will have to work especially hard.

The United hierarchy have other reasons to be concerned. The average age of the match-going fan at Old Trafford is currently 53 years and seven months.

The figure is predicted to rise year on year, part of a national trend that sees the average age of match-going football fans rising.

It brings all kinds of knock-on effects - twice as many ageing Reds struggle to reach their seats in the upper tiers and now apply for lift passes by comparison with six years ago for example. United should not be complacent. Junior fans may not be as profitable as adults, but they are the future lifeblood of the club.

Committed

City have always been excellent at recruiting young fans and discounting tickets. Surplus capacity at Maine Road at the City of Manchester stadium has allowed them to do so but the Blues have remained committed to younger fans attending matches.

United's family stand is always sold out and the club do an excellent job with the annual open training session and other youth initiatives, but the family stand accounts for around just six per cent of the Old Trafford capacity. Kids can get reduced price tickets in other sections of the ground but gone are the days when unaccompanied local youngsters could queue to pay on the day and get in for an affordable price.

In 1987, I used to deliver this newspaper for a wage of £2.20 a week – twice what it cost to stand on the Stretford End.
No such possibilities currently exist and what 14-year-old wants to be applying for tickets six weeks ahead of a game?

Most kids at the match are now taken by adults - an inherently different experience and passage to adulthood than going with your mates.

If the trend is not abated, the average age of fans will creep up towards pensionable age. Hoardings would be better advertising holidays for the elderly and stair lifts rather than lurid new football boots. That's one area United's marketing are probably looking into now.

Manchester United fans plan to snub new shirts in protest against Glazers
The Glazer family face a new battle with Manchester United supporters following a warning that fans are preparing to snub the club’s new Aon-branded shirt which will be launched in the United States this week.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01676/glazer-protest_1676904c.jpg

United fly to Chicago, the home city of insurance giant Aon, tomorrow as they embark on a three-week pre-season tour of North America, which begins with a game against Celtic in Toronto on Friday evening.

The four-year shirt deal with Aon, worth £80 million, replaces the £14 million-a-year sponsorship agreement with AIG. But with United having already banked £35.9 million from the Aon deal, supporters’ group MUST claim there has already been a backlash against the new shirt due to a perception that the funds have been used to service the club’s £716.5 million debt.

A MUST spokesman said: “From reading a lot of the supporters’ forums, it is very apparent that many United supporters now see the new Aon shirt as a symbol of the Glazer family’s ownership rather than a symbol of the Manchester United we historically know and love.

“It’s important that all American Reds understand the necessity to remove the Glazers from our club to improve our future chances of success and survival.

“It’s now clear the huge effect the debt burden inflicted on us by the Glazer family is having.” Despite the clearly visible supporter-led green-and-gold campaign against the Glazers last season, the American owners have insisted that they have no plans to sell the club.

Attempts by the Red Knights, a group of wealthy financiers, to raise funds for a takeover bid have so far failed to come to fruition. Suggestions that a bid would be made prior to the World Cup did not materialise.

But while the Red Knights have held talks in recent days to review the situation, United have dismissed claims of a season-ticket boycott by insisting that sales are on course to match previous seasons.

Glazer "Kalahkan" Suporter MU

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Media-media Inggris memberitakan, aksi sejumlah pendukung Manchester United memboikot penjualan tiket untuk Premier League musim 2010-2011, sejauh ini, gagal. Menurut mereka, sejauh ini MU telah menjual 50.000 tiket musiman atau sama dengan jumlah yang terjual musim lalu.

Sejak sekitar awal tahun ini, MU diguncang krisis menyusul terungkapnya utang besar klub. Sebagian suporter menilai, pemilik MU, Malcolm Glazer, tak becus mengelola klub dan menuntutnya menjual saham kepada investor lain yang mumpuni.

Glazer menolak mundur. Sebagian pendukung MU melakukan gerakan perlawanan berupa pemboikotan sumber-sumber pendapatan klub, termasuk penjualan tiket. Mereka berharap, penurunan pendapatan akan memaksa Glazer memenuhi tuntutan mereka.

Namun, mengacu pemberitaan di Inggris, gerakan itu terbukti tak efektif karena level penjualan tiket MU tak mengalami penurunan. Toh, media-media Inggris meyakini, kenyataan itu tak akan mengendurkan semangat pejuang Anti-Glazer.

Hal itu merujuk kepada konsistennya perlawanan suporter, yang ditunjukkan dengan menggelar demonstrasi Anti-Glazer sampai ke Amerika Utara, di mana MU melakukan tur pramusim mereka. (TEL)

Manchester United place 4,000 season tickets on general sale but blame sales dip on recession, not fans' boycott
By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER Last updated at 5:23 PM on 23rd July 2010 - dailymail.co.uk

Manchester United are putting 4,000 season tickets on general sale after the club failed to match last year's mark.
The Old Trafford club has had a long waiting list for fans to obtain season tickets in recent times, but United have fallen short of the 54,000 mark set last year.
The club broke the 50,000 barrier earlier this week but have been forced to make the other 4,000 available to the general public in a bid to equal last summer's total.

The sales dip comes after several influential supporters' groups urged fans to boycott buying season tickets as a method of protest against the Glazer family's ownership of United and the more than £700million debt burden placed on the club by the Americans.
However there is no evidence to suggest that the campaign had indeed contributed to a loss of sales.
United point out that the club is still processing late renewals from 2009-10 season-ticket holders and that sales are still strong despite the recession, according to the Telegraph.

Glazers urged to quit Manchester United as Old Trafford season ticket sales dive
By CHRIS WHEELER in Philadelphia
Last updated at 9:15 PM on 23rd July 2010 - dailymail.co.uk

The Glazers were urged to surrender control of Manchester United after it emerged that season tickets were selling badly for the first time in recent history.
Despite a price freeze and marketing campaign, 4,000 tickets have been placed on general sale - a previously unthinkable prospect at Old Trafford, where fans have waited 10 years for a ticket.

United insist their sales are fine for a recession, but Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham have sold out, while neighbours City say they have just a few tickets left.
It has been claimed as a victory for the Manchester United Supporters' Trust green and gold campaign, which wants the owners to drop their £1.5bn asking price so the Red Knights consortium can take over.

MUST chief executive Duncan Drasdo said: 'This is great news for fans in terms of the balance of power shifting back towards them.'
Meanwhile, United defender Nemanja Vidic agreed to sign a new four-year deal worth £90,000 a week.

Bingung juga buat ngerti maksudnya... :confusing:
Diartikel pertama disebutkan klo gerakan LUGH kalah dengan glazer coz penjualan tiket musimannya dibilang sukses. trus diartikel kedua disebutkan klo manajemen United mo ngejual lagi 4000 tiket biar menyamai penjualan musim lalu. trus di artikel ketiga disebutkan apa yang dilakukan manajemen United itu dengan ngejual lagi 4000 tiket bukti bahwa gerakan LUGH mulai berdampak buat finansial mereka. Bingung juga.... jadi kesimpulannya sementara ini gerakan LUGH unggul gitu ya? sorry klo salah...

fredian - maksudnya ada 4000 ST yg "dikorbankan" jadi general ticket/ bukan season ticket.
disana jd udah ribuan yg tidak memperbarui season ticket SEJAK Glazer membeli United 5 musim lalu.
pertengahan musim lalu adalah peak nya gerakan anti Glazer krn keuangan club semakin buruk, dugaan penggunaan uang Ronaldo utk membayar hutang, dll.
Pihak club mulai "mengalah" dan merubah 4000 kursi yg musim lalu ada kursi utk STH ( season ticket holder ) menjadi kursi general. Hal ini dikarenakan ada ribuan STH yg tidak melakukan proses renewing, totalnya 4000-an, yg artinya hampir 10% ada penurunan.
Semua STH sampai ditelp oleh pihak club utk diberikan penawaran perpanjangan yg lebih murah dlm batasan waktu tertentu. waktu itu kl ga salah cuma 2 hari stlh ada pemberitahuan via telp.
MEdia di UK jg mulai kaget dng masalah season ticket United yg dulunya adalah paling terkenal dng "WAITING LIST", skrg bahkan dikorbankan utk general seat krn tidak/ belum terjual sampai hari ini, sedangkan musim bergulir 2 minggu lagi.

3 bulan lalu club memberikan klaim bahwa season tickets "WAITING LIST", dan skrg terlihat masih banyak sekali bangku kosong. bahkan dng status "good availability"
Sengaja gue taruh gambar disini:
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm13/budiantoandreas/Season-ticket-availabilty1.jpg
Gambar gua ambil dr Guardian ( DT )

Kondisi ini sekaligus mengkonfirmasikan dugaan awal bahwa status Waiting List 3 bulan lalu hanyalah strategi marketing club.

Mudah2an membantu.

Ferguson defends Glazers from United fans
Soccernet - July 29, 2010

Sir Alex Ferguson has launched a stout defence of Manchester United owners the Glazer family, criticising media and fans for their harsh portrayal of the Americans.

While United are the number on football club in the world on the Forbes Rich List with an estimated value of US$1.84 billion (£1.18billion), the debt is over £700million. That is a concern to United supporters and has put the Glazers in the firing line of the Green and Gold protest movement.

But Ferguson said: "The debt has come through by the club being bought out by an owner. You know full well that when a business is bought it's usually bought with debt. Because it's a football club it seems to attract a more negative reporting from the media and from the fans. But Manchester United football club, when it went plc, it was always going to be bought. It was inevitable. So when a particular family like the Glazers have bought it, it's unfair they come in for criticism because anybody could have bought it.

"I have to say they've done their job well. They support myself, the manager, they've supported the players. I've never been refused when I've asked for money for a player. So what can I do other than carry on the way we're doing it and the way I'm allowed to carry on, I've no complaints.''

In an interview with CNN, Ferguson also spelt out his intention to carry on at the helm as long as he remains healthy. At 68, he is heading into his 24th season at Old Trafford where he has won 11 Premier League titles and two European Cups. The short-term aim is to wrest the crown back from Chelsea after they pipped his side at the post last season.

He said: "A lot of factors come into most important things. I'm at the right club, it's a fantastic club, it demands a challenge all the time. Every day, every year there's the challenge of being at the top and that helps me. I think you need good natural energy and I've been blessed with that.

"I'm very fortunate about that so I'll keep going as long as my health keeps going. The same applies to every person. I'm 68 and so far my health's been standing up. If I have my health I can carry on. There will be a point when I do quit but I have absolutely no idea when that is. I tried that a few years ago and it was an absolute disaster. Agony. My wife made me change my mind and she was dead right. I think she was soon fed up with me in the house. Now when the time comes I think the club should be okay.''

Ferguson: Jangan Ganggu Glazer!

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Pelatih Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, meminta suporter berhenti melakukan perlawanan kepada pemilik klub, Malcolm Glazer. Menurutnya, selama Glazer berkuasa, ia tak pernah mengalami masalah dan itu bisa berubah sebaliknya bila pendukung terus berusaha melengserkan Glazer.

Glazer membeli MU pada 2005 dengan dan kini terbebani utang sebesar 717 juta poundsterling atau sekitar Rp 10 triliun. Sejumlah pendukung menilai Glazer kesulitan membayar utang dan dengan begitu membuat klub terancam bangkrut. Mereka pun rajin melakukan protes dan demonstrasi meminta Glazer mundur.

Menurut Ferguson, dalam bisnis hari ini, berutang untuk investasi merupakan hal wajar. Selain itu, ia menilai, jumlah utang bukan masalah, selama pihak berutang mampu membayar cicilan dan Glazer disebutnya tak pernah bermasalah dalam soal pembayaran utang.

"Utang membebani klub ini sejak dibeli pemilik. Anda tahu dengan sangat baik bisnis apa pun yang dibeli dalam masa sekarang ini, dibeli dengan uang hasil utang," ungkap Ferguson.

"Karena ini adalah klub sepak bola, tampaknya ini menarik berbagai jenis laporan negatif, secara khusus dari sebagian pendukung kami,"

"Mengingat siapa pun bisa membeli MU (saat itu), tak adil bahwa karena keluarga tertentu, seperti keluarga Glazer membeli klub ini, mereka berada di bawah kritik,"

"Saya harus mengatakan mereka (keluarga Glazer) telah melakukan pekerjaan dengan baik. Mereka mendukung saya sebagai manajer dan mereka mendukung para pemain,"

"Saya tak pernah ditolak oleh mereka, ketika meminta uang untuk membeli pemain, saya pun tak bisa melakukan apa pun selain bekerja di jalur yang kami lakukan sekarang ini. Saya tak pernah mengeluh," paparnya. (SUN)

sorry mau tanya, yang "grey zone" itu maksudnya apa ya??? gak ada keterangannya...

grey area = media, sponsors, etc yg memang TIDAK ditawarkan kepada UMUM.

Memang selisih ST dibanding musim kemarin adalah sekitar 4000an seat.
Namun perlu jg diketahui bahwa para Season Ticket Holders yg TIDAK melakukan renewing jauh melebihi dr angka 4,000.

Lalu kenapa selisihnya hanya 4,000?
Karena ada juga org2 "baru" diluar pemegang season ticket yg akhirnya membeli season ticket utk musim depan.

Perlu diketahui jg bahwa Season Ticket United ini memang sangat2 ditunggu2 disana.
Semua berebutan kepengen punya bahkan sampae ada yg bertahun2 blm kebagian.
Bukan melebih2kan namun memang faktanya Old Trafford sejak dulu adalah stadion nomor 1 dlm hal "season tickets demand".

Bayangkan anda seorg supporter baru ( katakan baru jd supporter 3-4 tahun ) dan sejak dulu ga pernah kebagian season ticket. dan semakin kesini, semakin mudah mendapatkannya. pasti lu embat jg kan?

Keith Harris: Red Knights' bid would be pointless
Soccernet - August 4, 2010

One of the leading figures behind the Red Knights' efforts to launch a takeover bid for Manchester United has said that a move would be pointless as the Glazers will not sell.

Keith Harris, executive chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce, is part of the consortium of wealthy investors keen on buying United, who earlier this year shelved their plans due to the valuation put on the club. However, he now believes that any move would be a waste of time as the current owners have no intention of selling.

"The message I thought came loud and clear from the current owners that they are not interested in selling it," he told Sky Sports News. "I've been around long enough in the trading business to know that for a trade to happen it requires a seller and a buyer who will meet.

"If the owner is not a seller and owns all of it and isn't under pressure to sell it then there isn't going to be a deal.

"I don't think there's any point (in a bid). If you had such a clear message that the current owners don't want to meet with a prospective buyer then I think you've got to say 'there's no purpose in tabling a bid'.

"Bids were tabled in the past and were declined. They obviously don't feel under pressure or under desire to do it today."

Soo untuk 1-2 musim mendatang Glazer belum perlu pergi,,,mungkin kondisinya akan berbeda saat UNITED tanpa gelar.

MUST Terus Tekan Glazers
Hendra Mujiraharja - Okezone

MANCHESTER – Fans yang tergabung dalam Manchester United Suporter Trust (MUST) membentangkan poster anti keluarga Glazers kemarin. Ini dilakukan untuk memberikan tekanan kepada mereka.

MUST datang untuk memprotes keluarga besar dari Amerika itu. Kabarnya, kehadiran mereka justru telah membuat Setan Merah memiliki hutang hingga 734 juta poundsterling.

Mereka pun membentangkan poster berwarna Hijau dan Emas. Meski kelompok lain bernama Red Knights telah menyatakan mundur, namun MUST tetap berusaha melanjutkan misi untuk menggulingkan Glazers.

Langkah ini ternyata cukup serius. Terbukti, sekira 4,000 tiket tidak laku terjual musim panas ini. CEO MUST Duncan Drasdo yakin aksi ini sudah cukup membuat keluarga besar Glazers ketar-ketir.

“Langkah ini dilakukan sebagai komitmen kami demi mengganti kepemilikan di United, keuntungan klub dan loyalitas kami sebagai pendukung tim ini,” demikian pernyataan Drasdo dilansir Goal, Kamis (5/8/2010).

“The Glazers mengambil jutaan pounds dari tim ini. Selama mereka menjadi pemilik, mereka sudah mengambil keuntungan dari penjualan tiket yang dibeli penonton. Kami berharap mereka sadar sudah saatnya untuk pergi,” lanjut dia. (hmr)

GLAZERS ARE DESPERATE.

Kemarin sempat berbincang dng salah satu STH.
para STH disana sudah mulai mendapatkan Season Ticketnya masing2 dalam seminggu ini dan "teman" saya ini terkejut krn paketnya tidak seperti musim2 sebelumnya yg hanya berisi Season Ticket, Yearbook dan discount voucher utk masuk museum atau makan di Red Cafe.
Tapi kali ini jauh lbh banyak lg keuntungan yg didapat, tidak hanya discount tp dapet 2 free beer, sekali FREE museum, 1 menu makan di Red Cafe.

Hari ini baca lg di republikmancunia ternyata benar.
musim ini paket lengkapnya sbb:

- One main course at the Red Cafe
- Free entry for one adult to museum and stadium tour
- Two free beers on a match day
- One free pie on a match day
- One free Yearbook

gua setuju dng yg ditulis jg oleh Scott bahwa Glazers sudah putus asa dan mengambil langkah promosi gila ini.
free pie??? what the *****...

Season ticket termasuk elemen yg sangat ptg dlm keuangan club selain Hak Siaran dan berikutnya Merchandise.
Kenapa Season Ticket dan Hak Siar? krn duitnya CASH di depan.
Dapet duit dulu, baru jualan.

Kalau General Ticket kan bayarnya ya pas mau nonton, dan itupun satuan...per-match.

Sekali lg bukti usaha Glazer utk menaikkan jumlah Season Ticket.

Okay. I’m not the biggest fan of the Glazers but I’m fed up getting mail from people saying that we aren’t buying anyone because we have no money and that Ferguson saying there is no market in the value means we have no money.

Take a look at Man Utd’s most recent financial accounts. Take a look at the assets other than the obvious one of Old Trafford that we own. Did you know that we own the Manchester International Freight Terminal? Probably not. There is also four or five other assets outside of Man Utd that we own. All assets total almost £800 million.

Now to the stickly bit. Cash. We use this thing called cash to buy players. And there is plenty of that too. Currently we have close to £100 million sitting in the bank available for transfers. The Ronaldo money was not used on interest payments.

Maybe Fergie is right. With Man City and Real Madrid destroying the market, maybe there is no value in it. Take Man City buying Yaya Toure. Not the best player in the world but he is on £200,000 a week. Like what the ****? How can a normally run club compete with that? I do still think that we are getting Ozil despite what may have been said this morning.

Question: If Fergie was being restricted in his running of the club, would he still be there? He did back Alan Curbishley quitting West Ham when he felt he wasn’t running the operation.

Sir Alex Ferguson issues warning to United fans over Glazer protest

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/08/14/article-1303049-097FE297000005DC-42_468x338.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson has called for unity ahead of the new season, fearing the ongoing campaign against the Glazer family could wreck Manchester United's bid for glory.

Although the Red Knights' hopes of seizing control at Old Trafford are on hold after the price required to oust the controversial Glazer ownership hit £1.5billion, vociferous supporter groups are keen to step up their own campaign.

Posters have been put up in Manchester ahead of Monday night's encounter with Newcastle, hoping to further undermine the club, who still have an estimated 4,000 season tickets available.

That has not stopped United from being able to post 'sold-out' notices for Newcastle's visit, which confirms the goodwill that still exists for Ferguson and his men, even if the highly visible green and gold scarves will continue to be in evidence.

As ever, Ferguson has defended the rights of fans to have their say.

But it seems the United chief is concerned the ill-feeling could eventually have a negative effect on the players.

"One situation clouds the new season and that is the continued opposition to the Glazer family," Ferguson told United Review.

"I have no problem with the green and gold campaign. Fans are entitled to protest as they see fit. But not to the detriment of the team.

"The fact is that the Glazer family own Manchester United and until such time as they decide they want to sell, they will stay as owners regardless of the opposition.

"So it comes down to the extent of the protest. What I don't want to see is Manchester United mired in so much controversy that it deflects our purpose of winning matches.

"Whenever we have had success it has been a collective effort with everyone united - management, players and fans. How many times have I commented in the past about the need to pull together?

"There is no doubt that players respond and relish support. We have had some great European nights at Old Trafford and I wouldn't like to see anything develop that would diminish that kind of backing.

"I see that one of the protest groups has come up with a slogan along the lines of "New Season, Same Goal".

"I know what they have in mind but I just wish they meant that once again we will all be united, busting a gut to win something big; in that sense it is not a bad slogan."

Whether Ferguson's words have any effect is open to doubt.

He will certainly hope United's supporters are able to roar their team to victory against Newcastle, when skipper Gary Neville is likely to be on the bench at best.

Yet Neville is certain he made the right decision not to go on United's pre-season tour after not quite recovering from a groin injury in time.

By staying in England to use the extensive facilities at United's Carrington training complex, Neville was able to speed up his quest for fitness and he finally made his comeback with a 60-minute outing against a Chelsea reserve side last Sunday, just hours before the Community Shield.

That lack of match practice means Ferguson will almost certainly look elsewhere as he sits down to name his starting line-up to face the newly-promoted Magpies.

But Neville is ready to play a part, and is adamant he got the decision not to head off on tour correct.

"Not going on tour helped me," he told MUTV.

"I was probably fit four or five days before the end of the tour but with all the travelling and the fact you don't have the constant facilities you need when you are travelling, it was definitely better for me to stay here.

"I am still catching up on fitness a little bit. I have trained for a couple of weeks now and played 60 minutes for the reserves on Sunday down at Chelsea so I feel pretty good.

"But you are always going to be behind the lads who have had four or five matches."

The Green & Gold campaign isn't a protest anymore, it's a fashion statement Curhat seorang Die Hard United di blognya..:peace:

-------------------------------------------
from blog We Dream in Red

Green & Gold: Some fans just don't get it

One thing became abundantly clear as I watched Manchester United open their league campaign against Newcastle on Monday; the green & gold scarfs have nothing to do with the Glazers anymore.

Instead of being a symbol of strength and solidarity, and of a rallying cry to the Glazers that the fans do indeed want them gone, it has become a fashion statement.

Last season it was about raising awareness, which it did brilliantly. There was press coverage and it worried the Glazers enough to start bribing season ticket holders with free goodies – you now get meals at the Red Cafe, free entry to the club museum as well as free beer and pies on matchdays.

This season we needed those fans who so enthusiastically draped themselves in scarfs and hung banners to vote with their feet. I’ve given up my season-ticket, I’ve stopped buying merchandise and I’ve even cancelled my Sky Sports subscription. Although I’ll admit I’m still watching the games on TV, albeit elsewhere, I’ve still done my very best to hit the Glazers where it hurts the most; their pocket.

You can imagine my dismay then, that while I was rather arkwardly ‘tellyclapping’ my team down the tunnel on Monday night instead of sitting in my favourite spot in the entire universe, I spotted a United fan in the crowd proudly waving his green & gold scarf, whilst wearing the new AON shirt.

It angered me to the point where I turned the air blue. I simply just don’t understand the logic behind it.

You urgently want the Glazers out. I’ll assume you’ve done your homework efficiently enough to know that MUST (Man Utd Supporters’ Trust) and the Red Knights consortium have called for fans to stop buying merchandise and not to renew their season tickets to bring the value of the club down, which in turn will open the Glazers up to offers. So you’ve gone out and bought a scarf to show your support for the campaign and raise a few quid for the cause as well. But then you go and ruin it all by giving the Glazers some more money in the form of shirt sales and ticket sales. Add to that your match program, your half-time hotdog and pint and you’ve given them the best part of £100.

‘Every Little Helps’ isn’t just a catchy tagline for a supermarket, it’s the truth. For every person that gives up their shirt, it’s £40. For every person that decides against going to Old Trafford, it’s about £40. For every person who refuses to buy refreshments inside the ground, it’s about £6. If only 10,000 people who visited Old Trafford on Monday – and it’s only 1/7th of the crowd – refused to spend a penny more, you’re looking at nearly £1m. Imagine the power if millions of fans stopped buying new-shirts, even just in Asia or America. It’s probably worth noting too, that while the signing of Chicharito – the first Mexican to ever play for United - has been exciting, it’s also probably earned the club millions from Mexico alone.

United fans aren’t idiots. They know where their money is going, but they’re so selfish about their love for the club that they still pay out even though it might be damaging the club in the long-term. It’s comparable to a failing relationship. You know it’s not working, but because you love that other person, who make the pain worse in the long run by keeping that relationship going. Love is like that, it’s self-indulgent, as it is in all cases of unrequited love.

The green & gold scarf isn’t about getting rid of the Glazers anymore, it’s about feeling part of the movement – it’s just a cool accessory to you. The fans inside the ground wearing them have no intention of helping MUST and the Red Knights strangle the club’s income to bring the Glazers’ asking price down. It’s the fans – just like me – outside the ground that have the right idea. But we’re the invisibles. We’re the ones who aren’t part of the green & gold movement, because we actually listened and understood the logic behind it, and did the talking with our feet. I know it's the hard-line approach but it's truly necessary to get rid of this disease wasting away at our club's long-term health.

If I spot you in the ground wearing your scarf, then you’re against everything the scarf stands for. I know it will hurt for a lot of you. I know that it may well be putting a stop to part of your weekly routine that you’ve kept going for years. I know that Old Trafford holds many dear memories for you and you love them so much, but if you loved them, you’d let them go.

Keluarga GLazer Semakin tertekan oleh bunga pinjaman pembelian Manchester UNITED

Friday, 20th August 2010

SPORT FINANCE

STEVE DINNEEN

Manchester United’s American owners saw interest payments on a loan taken out to refinance the club jump to 16.25 per cent this week after they failed to keep debt at an agreed level.

The two per cent hike will see the club pay millions extra on a payment-in-kind (Pik) loan of more than £200m, which is due to be repaid by 2017.

The PIK loan will total more than £267m at the end of June next year due to the new rate of interest, rising to more than £310m by 2012.

The interest payments must be made by the Glazer family rather than the club itself, but fans’ groups now fear the club’s already precarious finances will be further affected.

Manchester United Supporters’ Club (Must) chief Duncan Drasdo said: “The rise in the Pik interest rate this week, caused by the Glazers’ inability to hit their own targets, is another sad chapter in the story of their exploitation of Manchester United.

“The increasing cost of the Piks will inevitably be borne by Manchester United. The Glazer family have failed to repay a single penny of their debts in the last four years... and the only source of cash is our football club.”

The Glazers tied around £716m of debt to the Premier League outfit when they bought it in 2007.

A group of powerful City figures, led by Goldman’s chief economist Jim O’Neill, launched a bid to wrest control of the club but the Glazers have been unwilling to do a deal

Setelah membaca artikel ini saya baru menyadari betapa besar potensi "kerusakan" yang mungkin terjadi akibat aktivitas keluarga Glazer. Dengan tingkat interest sebesar itu, tekanan dari fans, dan ditambah lagi perumusan kebijakan organisasi yg terkesan "HIGH RISK" penjualan aset2 UNITED tampaknya tinggal menunggu waktu,,,ternyata ini bukan lagi hanya melulu masalah Pembelian Pemain,,,

Setelah sekian lama gue tunggu2 dan mudah2an teman2 yg lain juga.
Akhirnya kemarin 8 Okt 2010 club mengeluarkan laporan rugi-laba per-Juni 2010.

Singkat cerita United mengalami record loss sebesar 83,6 juta Pounds ( tentunya setelah dipotong hutang) utk tahun buku yg berakhir 30 Juni 2010.

Akan gue coba uraikan agar lebih mudah dibaca ( kalo salah ya maap, auditor yg ini dulunya ga suka sekolah...bolos mulu buat maen basket )

(All numbers are in Poundsterling)
Club's Turnover: 286,4 millions
Operating Profit: 100,8 millions
Uang yg masuk (account receivable) sebesar 286,4 juta Pounds.
Jumlah ini mengalami peningkatan 3% yg didapat dr media
Sedangkan pendapatan matchday turun 8% (krn protest dan jg musim kmrn kita memainkan game lebih sedikit dibanding musim sebelumnya ).

Setelah dipotong operational cost, etc maka Operating profit United sebesar 100,8 juta Pounds
Angka ini adalah record di Inggris...United adalah club pertama dng Operating profit sebesar 100,8 juta Pounds.

Setelah dipotong hutang, bunga dan pembelian pemain maka didapatlah angka rugi 83,8 juta Pounds.

Mudah2an penjelasan gue bener, krn gue baca banyak bgt berita mengenai hal ini dan berusaha gue gabung2kan.

Dari sini terlihat jelas bahwa club ini adalah lumbung uang, United semakin berkembang dr sisi bisnis dari sisi pendapatan (match-day revenue saja yg turun) dan juga kalau tidak punya hutang....

Mudah2an ada yg mau menambahkan detail2 lain soal ini....

Fans MU akan Demo Masal

http://stat.k.kidsklik.com/data/photo/2010/10/14/0314134p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Suporter Manchester United (MU) akan menggelar demo besar-besaran untuk memprotes pemilik klub, keluarga Glazer. Demo akan dilakukan saat MU menjamu Tottenham Hotspur, 30 Oktober nanti.

Suporter yang anti kepada Glazer semakin membesar, setelah klub mengalami kerugian 83,6 juta pounds (sekitar Rp 1,1 triliun). Koordinator demo fans MU mengatakan, mereka akan melakukan long march menentang kepemilikan pengusaha asal Amerika Serikat itu.

"Hasilnya sudah muncul dan tak terlalu bagus. Ide di belakang demo ini untuk mendapat momentum melanjutkan perjuangan musim lalu," kata juru bicara United Against Glazer kepada Goal.com.

Kelompok anti-Glazer ini telah melakukan kampanye lewat website dan page di Facebook dengan nama yang sama. Mereka menilai, Glazer memeras MU, bukan membesarkannya.

"Kita tahu keadaan terkini, bagaimana Glazer telah mengambil uang 500 juta pounds (sekitar Rp 7 triliun) dari klub, sejak mereka membeli klub ini pada 2005. Saya tak tahu seberapa jauh keadaan ini akan bertahan. Tapi, tindakan mereka tak bisa diterima," tambahnya.

Para fans menilai, Glazer tidak melakuan investasi yang dibutuhkan klub, justru mengambil uang klub. Faktanya, pemain-pemain tua masih dipertahankan dan tak ada penambahan pemain muda yang cukup.

"Dua tahun lalu Paul Scholes hanya bermain setengah babak. Sekarang, dia masuk tim utama. Kami membeli Bebe hampir 8 juta pounds (sekitar Rp 113 miliar), ketika kami harusnya bisa membeli pemain seperti Rafael van der Vaart dengan harga yang sama," kritiknya.

Dia melanjutkan, "Saya kira MU sekarang memiliki saldo sekitar 160 juta pounds (sekitar Rp 2,2 triliun). Tapi, akan mengejutkan jika Glazer tak meliriknya."

Demo dengan melakukan long march itu akan dimulai di pub Tollgate dan mengambil rute 1 mil. Mereka akan berhentu di jalan Matt Busby yang tepat di luar Stadion Old Trafford. Menurut mereka, demo kali ini akan lebih keras dan menekan dibanding demo musim lalu.

"Kami sudah menginformasikan rencana demo ini kepada polisi dan lembaga berwenang lain. Ini benar-benar profesional dan akan jadi demo kemarahan kepada rezim Glazer," tegasnya. (GL)

Rooney Dijadikan 'Alat' untuk Tekan Glazer
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport
Kamis, 21/10/2010 00:36 WIB

Manchester - Kabar bakal dilepasnya Wayne Rooney membuat kelompok suporter fanatik Manchester United, Red Knights, ikut berkomentar. Mereka menggunakan kabar ini untuk menekan Keluarga Glazer selaku pemilik kub.

Bukan rahasia apabila Red Knights telah beberapa kali berusaha menawar United untuk dijual kepada mereka. Namun, sejauh ini usaha mereka selalu mentok. Keluarga Glazer selalu mengatakan not for sale atas status 'Setan Merah'.

Maka, kala kabar Rooney bakal hengkang mencuat, Red Knights kembali bereaksi. Mereka menyebut, inilah saatnya Glazer menjual klub. Apalagi, tanpa Rooney, harga United mestinya lebih murah.

Tahun 2005, Glazer membeli Red Devils dengan harga 790 juta poundsterling dan Red Knights sempat menawar dengan harga 1 miliar pounds.

"Kami senang melihat harganya kini memihak kami. Seperti keyakinan kami bahwa nilai klub kurang dari 1 miliar pounds," ujar salah seorang anggota Red Knights kepada Sky Sports.

Di tangan Glazer, utang MU membumbung tinggi, dan kabar terakhir menyebut utang itu mencapai angka US$ 832 juta (Rp 7,563 T). Masalah utang ini juga yang membuat Glazer ditekan untuk segera melepaskan kepemilikannya.

"United Against Glazer" march on 30th October
Monday, 18 October 2010
Too often football supporters in England believe they are powerless against the financial exploitation of our game and our clubs.

I do not believe this. In fact I believe that pressure is mounting on the Glazers and other carpetbaggers looking to personally profit at the expense of fans. I also believe that the Glazers have only delayed taking their £95m dividend "entitlement" because of their fears about how supporters would react....

Ticket sales are weak, the waiting list is gone, Gill et al fear more supporters making the tough decision to abandon their season tickets in the future. We know from sources inside the club that during the height of the green and gold campaign the hierachy were extremely worried about damage to the "brand" in the eyes of potential sponsors (note, not the club, the "brand").

Keeping this pressure up is important, so I would encourage all United supporters who can attend to join the:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_L3EGLVYtPHE/TLxLWNcSX4I/AAAAAAAAARI/VSz5idP4p1A/s200/UAG.png

"UNITED AGAINST GLAZER - MARCH TO OLD TRAFFORD"

On 30th October (before the Spurs match) from 3.30pm

Whether you have given up your ticket or still go to games, turn out and show the world what United supporters think of our owners. As the organisers say:

Glazers family set to pay off £220m in high-interest loans borrowed to fund purchase of Manchester United

?
By Paul Kelso, Chief Sports Reporter

Last Updated: 11:58PM GMT 15/11/2010

The Glazer family, who own Manchester United, are set to pay off £220million of their high-interest PIK loans.

The Glazer family is understood to be preparing to pay off around £220 million in high-interest 'payment-in-kind’ loans borrowed to fund the purchase of Manchester United.

In a letter to the holders of the loans, Joel Glazer is understood to have committed to pay off the loans on Nov 22. It is unclear how the Glazers have raised the funds to pay off the loans but according to Bloomberg, which revealed the loan repayment last night, club funds will not be used.

In a document known as a voluntary free-payment notice issued to the holders of the loans Manchester United’s holding company Red Football Joint Venture Limited commit to “repay 100 per cent from the outstanding loan on Nov 22”.

“I can’t speak for any other club but the United fans should not be concerned,” United chief executive David Gill said last night.

“We have a long-term financing structure in place, excellent revenues that are growing, we are controlling our costs and we can afford the interest on our long-term finance.”

The repayment of the loans in full raises the possibility that the Glazers may have sold a stake in the club to ease the debt burden.

Alternatively they could have refinanced the loans or sold other family assets to raise the money.

United are due to publish their results for the last quarter to bond holders today and they are likely to be asked to address the issue in a conference calls with investors.

There have been suggestions in recent weeks that the Glazers were troubled by the implications of the sale of Liverpool for a valuation of just £300million.

Even allowing for the distressed nature of the Liverpool sale to NESV the sale indicated that United may be less worth than the £1 billion plus valuation the family have always put on it.

In that context selling a minority stake to ease the PIK burden while retaining control might appear an attractive option.

The payment-in-kind loans, which have been accruing interest at up to 16.5 per cent since the Glazers bought the club in 2005, have been one of the principal causes of concern among supporters opposed to the Americans’ ownership of United.

There has been long-standing concern among supporters that the Glazers would raid the club’s reserves to pay off the PIK loans.

Under the terms of a bond issue that refinanced around £500?million of bank debts secured against the club at the time of the Glazer takeover, the family were permitted to take out up to £100?million as a dividend in the first year of the bond.

Announcing the club’s annual financial results last month the club revealed that the Glazers had taken no such dividend and that the club had cash reserves of around £150million.

Despite concern that those reserves would be raided to ease the PIK burden the Glazers appear to have found other resources to pay off the debts. It is unclear how the Glazers have funded the repayment of the PIK loans.

By paying off the most expensive debt incurred during the takeover the Glazers will hope to change the terms of the debate over their model and the viability of the club going forward.

Last month United reported losses of £83.6 million, with more than £40 million attributable to interest payments on the £500 million bond issue, and accrued interest on the PIK loans

Okey saya melihat kalau memang benar ini terwujud, UNITED akan mendapatkan tambahan dana lewat penghematan beban bunga yg harus dibayar. itu artinya pada transfer window januari SAF akan mendapatkan kucuran dana segar untuk belanja pemain

Akan tetapi disisi yg lain, kita msh belunm mengetahui dari mana pastinya Glazer mendapat dana begitu besar untuk membayar hutangnya,,,, Yaaa saya berharap dana itu bukan dari penjualan salah satu Bintang Manchester UNITED ataupun asset2 berharga club yg lain seperti OLD TRafford

Known unknowns and unknown unknowns
Monday, 15 November 2010 - andersred.blogspot

This evening Bloomberg's Tariq Panja has broken a story that Red Football Joint Venture Ltd (the parent company that issued the famous Payment In Kind loans) is to redeem all £220m of the PIKs on 22nd November. Perhaps more importantly, Bloomberg report that none of the funds to redeem the PIKs will come from Manchester United.

As has been well documented, under the terms of the bond issue, the Glazers can take £95m from the club whenever they wish. The fact that they are NOT using this dividend entitlement to repay the PIKs raises the obvious question; where is this money coming from?

There seem to me to be three main possibilities (and probably a few dozen less likely ones):

1. Refinancing
The PIKs are being refinanced with a new form of debt, secured (as the PIKs are) on RFJV's shares in Red Football Ltd. If this was the case, it would be reasonable to suppose that the interest rate on this new debt was lower than the 16.25% currently being paid on the PIKs. The question would remain as to how this debt would be repaid in the long-term and whether the burden of this repayment would fall on the football club.

2. Sale of an equity stake
The Glazers have sold a stake in Red Football Limited to a third party outside investor and are using all or some of the proceeds to repay the PIKs. The consequences of this would obviously be hugely uncertain. Who could this investor be? What stake would they own? How would their ownership impact the running of the club?

3. Sale of other assets
The Glazers have secured significant sums from another source, perhaps by selling assets. I find this incredibly unlikely as the only asset valuable enough is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The fact that redemption notices for the PIKs have already been issued suggests the funding is already in place which does not tally with a sale of the NFL franchise.

As someone who has repeatedly and vehemently stated that the club's money would be used to repay the PIKs, I can only eat humble pie at this point. Another source has clearly been found and that means I was wrong. I do believe however that until we have concrete answers about the source of this £220m it is best to reserve judgement about what this means for United.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 16th November) Red Football Limited announces its results for the three months to September 30th. These results may cast more light on what is going on, but there is a good chance that no further information will be forthcoming as the PIKs are held by the parent company that is not reporting its figures. I will be blogging about the figures tomorrow.

Qatari royal family will ride anti-Glazer wave to force through takeover of Manchester United
By Ian Ladyman - 24th February 2011

The Glazer family would have us believe that their years of ownership at Manchester United have been defined by trophies. Eight have arrived since the Americans bought the club in 2005. United supporters, however, would talk more in terms of parsimony, secrecy and silence.

As the Qatar royal family prepare to test the strength of the Glazers' resolve with a fresh bid of £1.5billion for the club, it would appear that they are being driven by a different agenda; by one thing the Americans never even considered. A desire to be popular.

United's followers detest the aggressive way in which the Americans took the club into private ownership. They detest the debt. They detest the jacked-up ticket prices.

Just as much, though, the rank and file of Old Trafford loathe the Glazers for their failure to acknowledge they even exist; for the fact they have always seen United followers as a simple source of cash. This refusal to communicate has alienated United followers as much as anything.

In Qatar, we are told, things would be done differently. The Glazers never needed popularity. They needed an investment vehicle and a way to make money. If they sell to Qatar, the return on their investment will be enormous.

To the Emirate states, however, popularity is everything. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar all have European Tour golf events. The first two have Formula One circuits and Qatar is about to build one.

Qatar have secured a World Cup, a shirt deal with Barcelona and persuaded United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola to endorse them as a serious base for sport.

If Qatar manage to obtain the world's most famous football club then one thing is for sure. It won't be done quietly. Indications are that the ruling Al Thani family would embrace the green and gold campaign that so illuminated the anti-Glazer feeling last season.

They would involve their supporters. It's an easy PR card to play, of course. Actually involving the self-styled 'Red Knights' in a takeover would appear to make little sense. Qatar certainly don't need the financial aid and it would only complicate matters.

But tacitly acknowledging their existence and giving a nod towards the 'Love United Hate Glazer' factions will only deepen any goodwill that may be extended to them if a bid comes to fruition.

United supporters, of course, are confused. Despite the noises coming out of the city, United continue to publicly deny that their owners would sell. They could not be more emphatic.

However, there is one simple fact to consider. If the Glazers are contemplating a sale, chief executive David Gill and his colleagues at Old Trafford would be among the last to know.

Gill has done his best to keep the club functioning during the chaotic years of Glazer. He and manager Sir Alex Ferguson have done a remarkably efficient job.

While the balance sheet has looked a mess, the trophy room has continued to fill up. The Glazers, though, are unlikely to let Gill into the loop until the moments before a sale is concluded. Why would they?

They rode straight over his toes on the way into Old Trafford and they will, in all probability, do so on the way out. The Glazers have been in this for the money from the outset.

Given the hostility that has come their way every time their private jet from Florida has touched down in Manchester, it is hard to imagine that they have enjoyed their ownership very much.

It is not hate and threats and bile that will drive the Americans out of Stretford, though. They have long since disregarded that. No, it is money. In Qatar, there is plenty of that. It depends now on just how much they are prepared to offer.

Qatari royal family in £1.5bn bid to buy Manchester United from the Glazers
By Rob Davies - 23rd February 2011

The royal family of Qatar is preparing a fresh £1.5billion bid for Manchester United after the Glazers rejected an earlier offer.

A source close to the oil-rich emirate’s ruling Al Thani family confirmed that it tried to tempt the Glazers earlier this month with an offer of just over £1bn.

The bid was turned down by the Americans, who are holding out for closer to £1.8bn.

But the Al Thanis are on the verge of raising the stakes, partly motivated by rivalry with the Abu Dhabi royal family, whose wealth has transformed United’s arch-rivals Manchester City into title contenders.

Going head to head on the pitch would give the Al Thanis the opportunity to get one over on their Gulf neighbours, with the Manchester football scene offering a high-profile battleground.

Qatar is also keen to portray itself as a football-loving nation, after critics said it did not deserve to win the right to host the 2022 World Cup, because of its lack of football history.

United strenuously deny that they have received any bid from Qatar Holdings, a division of the Qatar Investment Authority, which identifies ways to make a return on the country’s oil billions.

But the source indicated the offer could be made privately, or through a separate vehicle owned by the Al Thanis.

The revived takeover talk comes with the club preparing to unveil their financial results
for the three months to the end of 2010 on Friday.

The financial presentation is expected to include a written statement by the Glazers of
their commitment to continued ownership of United.

While Qatar’s preference is a lone bid, it is also considering a Plan B that would see it go into partnership with the Red Knights, a group of wealthy United fans who put a £1bn bid for the club on ice last year.

The collective of City financiers and wealthy fans have made clear their determination to wrest control of the club from the Glazers, but do not have the funds to match the
Americans’ price tag.

A partnership would combine the billions of oil-rich Qatar with the groundswell of popular backing that the Red Knights could attract from fans.

_______________________________________________

Glazers set to confirm commitment
Soccernet, Harry Harris - February 23, 2011

Manchester United's latest financial figures will be released within days with the Glazer family expected to issue a statement ruling out any sale of the club.

The release of the figures will place greater scrutiny on the rising wage bill, and include details of a potential drop in shirt sales as a consequence of the fans' anti-Glazer protest.

It seems certain that there will be further speculation about a United takeover by Qatar Holdings, even though it has been strenuously denied that any talks have taken place over a £1.6 billion deal. The Glazers are determined to put the story to bed with a definitive statement on their position at the club in the quarterly accounts.

Results for the financial quarter ending Dec 31, 2010, will be posted, possibly on Friday, with a statement to bond holders from the USA-based owners aimed at preventing the value of the bond growing due to constant links with a big money takeover. The club's high-yield bonds have risen to record levels due to the takeover speculation.

The Glazers issued a similar statement in their quarterly accounts last May, prompted by the ill-fated Red Knights' interest in the club.

Manchester United confirmed to ESPNsoccernet that their next quarterly accounts are due out "at the end of the week or the beginning of the following week", but the club have refused to discuss the impact of Wayne Rooney's massive hike in salary and the effect it will have on those figures.

The rising wage bill and the need for Sir Alex to invest big in the transfer market may yet persuade the Glazer family to eventually consider a £1.6 billion-plus offer to sell the club.

A Manchester United spokesman said: "At the end of each quarter the figures are presented to the bond holders within 60 days, so these figures will be available before the end of February. There will be no comment on any of the figures until then."

Rooney now has a basic wage of £160,000-a-week, which would rise to close to £200,000-a-week in the latter stages of his new deal. On top of that he earns bonuses for United's success and for goals and appearances.

The latest results will be yet another indicator of the Glazer's debt rating, always a subject to raise the temperature among the fan base.

Manchester United have risked straining relations with discontented fans still further by taking the extraordinary step of suing one supporter over action he took to oppose the Glazer family’s ownership of the Old Trafford club.

Lawyers acting on behalf of the Premier League leaders have filed a writ at the High Court accusing Thomas McKenna of damaging United’s business by posting the names and addresses of 400 of its corporate clients on the internet.

United’s case states that Mr McKenna, of Greater Manchester, published the list in a campaign to stop companies renewing their membership in an attempt to put pressure on the unpopular Glazers, who took over at Old Trafford in 2005, to sell their stakes in the club.

Despite a high-profile inquiry by United, revealed by Telegraph Sport last year, the club admitted in the High Court writ that they had not identified who supplied Mr McKenna with his information.

However they are pursuing 44-year-old Mr McKenna for “losses and damages” they claim the club suffered as a result of its client information appearing on the website wewantglazerout.com, the public face of anti-Glazer group United Supporters for Change.

The writ also details that Mr McKenna was arrested by Greater Manchester Police in August last year in connection with the incident. Data relating to Manchester United’s client list was allegedly found in his possession. Telegraph Sport understands the police are not pursuing their enquiries.

However, it is not certain what United can achieve through their court action as it can be difficult to value the type of information that was leaked and therefore calculate what damage was caused. There is no value set on how much the club expects to recover if its claim is successful.

Johnno Spence, a sports marketing expert at JSC Sports, said: “It is hard to see how you can put a value on information a researcher could pick up by spending a Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford. If this information was worth hundreds of pounds I would be surprised. There is no great secret about who buys corporate boxes.”

Despite this, United are asking the courts to order an “enquiry as to the damages (including additional statutory damages) for infringement of its database”, as well as requesting that Mr McKenna deliver up or destroy all the related information he has in his possession. The club are also asking for an injunction preventing him from repeating his actions.

In April last year, the website wewantglazerout.com published the list of 400 United corporate clients. The move came as a separate body, a group of bankers collectively known as the Red Knights, was trying to put together a bid to buy the club.

A press release published on the website together with the list claimed: “With the assistance of senior employees of MUFC who oppose the Glazer family’s asset stripping of our club, we are today publishing an edited list of the more than 400 companies which have hospitality facilities at the club.”

United denied the information could have come from a senior executive, but admitted they had not identified the source of the leak.

Though United are currently leading the Premier League and seem set to clinch a record 19th title, the Glazers continue to endure fervent opposition from a significant portion of supporters and the suggestion that the club are suing one fan for publishing information on the internet is unlikely to bolster the owners’ popularity.

Red Football Joint Venture, the holding company through which the Glazer family own United, announced earlier this week that it had made a £108.9 million loss for the year ended June 30, 2010.

That figure included an £83 million loan from the club itself - revealed in October last year – as well as more than £3 million in interest fees for a PIK loan, paid off last year.

That such losses should be possible despite season-ticket prices increasing some 42 per cent since the family bought the club continues to raise doubts over United’s long-term viability. Fans are concerned the club may yet need to sell more playing assets to balance the books after both Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tévez left Old Trafford in 2009.

David Gill, the club’s chief executive – who opposed the Glazer takeover, suggesting that the vast debts the family’s bid would incur were “the road to ruin” – has denied that selling players, including Wayne Rooney, would ever be necessary.

Mr McKenna declined to comment. A spokesman for Manchester United said: “We take data security very seriously therefore we saw this as something important to pursue. We believe this was an attack on private property and significant personal distress.”
Manchester United risk antagonising fans even further by suing anti-Glazer supporter (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8402512/Manchester-United-risk-antagonising-fans-even-further-by-suing-anti-Glazer-supporter.html)
