Manchester United fans are boiling over, and the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are squarely in the crosshairs.
With the club languishing in 15th place, staff facing mass redundancies, and Old Trafford crumbling, the rage on social media paints a grim picture of a fanbase fed up with two decades of mismanagement and broken promises.
The Glazers, who’ve siphoned over £1 billion from United since their 2005 takeover, remain the arch-villains.
And @RedDevilRants captured the sentiment: “The Glazers have bled us dry for 20 years—£815m in interest alone. Ratcliffe’s just their latest puppet, cutting jobs while they cash out.”
The American owners’ latest move—retaining control despite Ratcliffe’s 25% stake—only fuels the fire. @MUFC_Spin fumed, “Shameless Glazers pocketed £715m from Ratcliffe and still call the shots. They’ve turned us into a piggy bank, not a football club.”
Ratcliffe, once hailed as a savior, is now a lightning rod himself. His INEOS-led redundancies—up to 200 more jobs at risk after 250 last year—have fans seething.
@centredevils posted yesterday, “Staff summoned to Old Trafford for more cuts. Morale’s at an all-time low—thanks, Ratcliffe.” Then @unitedsc0ut piled on: “Ratcliffe’s slashing costs while we’re 15th and Amorim flounders. No progress visible—just Glazer chaos with a new face.”
The £300m spent on flops like Ugarte and Zirkzee doesn’t help, with @SHBEtOfficial blasting, “MAN UTD'S TRANSFER MARKET CRISIS: 4 SIGNINGS, £300M WASTED.”
Some fans still separate the two evils. @UnitedLadsss argued, “Glazers created this mess—Ratcliffe’s stuck polishing their turd. Give him time.”
But patience is thin. @SoulRedMUFC snapped, “Ratcliffe calls the Glazers ‘nice people’ while they loot us and he sacks staff. Both are complicit in this shambles.”
From social media to the stands, the message is clear: Fans want the Glazers gone and Ratcliffe to deliver, not dismantle. United’s soul hangs in the balance—will either listen before it’s too late?
