The talk about owners on here, as it always is, was started by non united fans. The result yesterday was nothing to do with the owners, no one has said it is.

Like any takeover the previous owners were ultimately led by commercial realities as opposed to fan dissatisfaction/protest. I'd also argue (even with the apology) the furloughing reversal was a massive PR faux-pas, and the negative media coverage led the decision.

Agree on the ticket price reversal though.
This isn't actually true - Hard to accurately describe all of if but, for example, Liverpool fans in NY spotted Hicks and Gillett heading for a meeting with a financial institution in order to try and refinance their debt. Within hours the financial institution was bombarded with emails etc saying it would be a bad idea to do this. I think it was RBS ultimately who pulled the plug on Hicks and Gillett (Might have the wrong financial institution). The reason this was done was that thousands of people contacted RBS and told them they'd take their business elsewhere if they continued to prop them up.
The book "An Epic Swindle" by Brian Reade gives a very good and detailed account of all that happened to get Hicks and Gillett out. 

And it's fair to point out that this isn't a direct comparison to the United situation as the Glazers aren't i the same financial situation was Hicks and Gillett were. 

A few emails. Heroic stuff. LOL

Again, what I will say to you is go and read what has been written and documented on this. 
That book I mentioned is a good place to start. 

I'm happy to read it, but I also read into it, and the machinations are complex enough to believe that commercial realities were the first things that guided the decision. I respect any club that listens to its fans, and credit to Liverpool for doing so from the point of view of ticket prices etc. That is also laudable. But I just dont buy the idea that commercial realities and reasonings were not almost entirely responsible for the takeover at Liverpool, especially given the fire consequences predicted.
Let me know if you still feel the same after reading it. 

Sure. But I've taken a lot from public sources here, and it will be difficult for me to change my mind. Especially, given legal actions taken afterwards, Gillett and Hicks weren't going to go quietly, based on their valuation of the club, no matter how the fans felt about them.

What I can be sure of is that Liverpool never got a game cancelled by protesting. 

So you acting like Liverpool are the experts at removing difficult owners when the situations are so totally different, and when United have provably gone above and beyond the efforts that Liverpool did - its condescending horsesh*t.

Sorry, what? I've said absolutely nothing of the sort. Go back and read my posts.
Somebody commented that fan protests, outside of the super league, have achieved nothing - I challenged that and mentioned specifically I was going to reference Liverpool because, being a fan, I've more knowledge on that. 
I'm making a general non club specific point - Apologies if that doesn't fit in with the tribalism you are looking for.

No, somebody commented that utimately it is factors beyond the protests which lead to these decisions being made. 

You challenged that and pointed out stuff like Liverpool fans sending a few emails like true inspirational heroes, and the seemingly gigantic effect that had on Hicks and Gillette. I'm sure they were completely bamboozled by it all.

Previously in the thread, you seemed oblivious to the extent that United fans have protested. Which is provably more than anything Liverpool fans ever did, thereby reinforcing the idea that protesting is not the silver bullet you claim it is.

I'm sure Liverpool fans love giving themselves high fives and like to delude themselves into thinking that they got rid of Hicks and Gilette, and therefore now are the experts on removing owners. The reality is that none of these owners give a toss about the protests or the fans, every fan is replaceable and very little that the fans do matter to the decisions these people make.

Ha ha ha - You are just making sh*t up now and seem incapable of having a discussion here without trying to score some of points over a perceived enemy or something. I'm on the side of any fans who are protesting against unfit owners - Owners should be custodians, clubs should be community assets -but you crack on with your point scoring.

Agreed. When you look at many takeovers (and that includes Liverpool's), the commercial reasonings behind them will trump any fan protest, as the reasoning for the transition.

I don't subscribe to this - It works in theory but if, for example, the Qatari lad turns out to be the person willing to pay the most and United fans, en masse, where to turn up on matchday and protest against him (which I don't think would happen) then I dare say he might have second thoughts. 

LOL

United fans have been singing about literally murdering Joel Glazer and previously his dad, by cutting him up, for a very, very long time now. No second thoughts up until recently they saw how much Chelsea went for.

If songs was the extent of it then I don't blame them for taking no notice - Proper protest is what I was referring to. 

United fans got a game called off thanks to their protests, maybe they should send a few strongly worded emails like the Liverpool fans.

It's literally in the quoted thread. LOL

The poster said that it was commercial realities that led the takeover as they do all takeovers. You said no no, Liverpool fans sent emails to financial institutions and told RBS that they would leave if they 'propped them up'. So Hicks and Gilette sold. You said it's all in a book, which simply has to be read, presumably so one can understand just how amazing the Liverpool fans were at removing poisonous owners.

Elsewhere in here, you've shown obliviousness to the extent of united fans protests, and acted like everything United fans have done is completely uncoordinated - intimating that if they had just been more coordinated like Liverpool fans were then the Glazers would be gone. Yeah, if only the United fans had sent more emails.

Acting like that email or RBS nonsense had any real impact on anything is just deluded self congratulatory rubbish. Give me a bloody break.

I sent an angry email to kellogs when they got rid of Start. They didn't reinstate the product and sent me a £1 Kellogs voucher instead. I'm still undecided if I won or not.

It had nothing to do with the fact that Hicks had defaulted on a similar loan in the states and the only reason they were able to refinance a year earlier is because Gillet sold his NHL team LOL
