Protest group The 1958 has planned a demonstration before the first game of Manchester United of the season against Arsenal in Old Trafford per week on Sunday, and will be aimed at minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe for the first time.
The group has been fierce critics of the Glazer family, but focus their sentences on Ratcliffe with 'Jim who cannot repair these' banners. They announced the march and mocked his plans for a new stadium by burning the 'Disneyland of the North'.
The 1958 also warned that a controversially personal stuff system, which is being considered when United is moving to a new stadium and fans would see up to £ 4,000, simply for the right to buy a seasonal card, “would be a new step to ripping football away from the roots of the working class.”
The rejection of the £ 130 million that this summer was published to Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer, said a group spokesperson: 'It is a new season but the same old property problems. Twenty years of the glazers and their debt mountain is 20 years too long. Enough is enough.
'We will not allow some natural optimism and a few shiny new signing sessions to deviate from the larger image outside the field. Jim Ratcliffe chose to get into bed with the glassers and helps us to keep in charge of our opinion.
'So on August 17 we not only protest against the glassers, but now also against Jim Ratcliffe – a man who is once seen by many, including ourselves, as a possible savior, a beacon of hope, but now is revealed as an accomplice to the constant erosion of everything that makes our club to it. This is no longer only about ownership; This is about survival – the survival of our identity, our community and our values.
'The systematic expansion of long-term fans from the South Stand-Sommigen who have had seats there for generations not only a policy decision, it is an attack on the soul of Manchester United. These are the people who help build the atmosphere, the tradition, the heartbeat of the club. Putting them aside for saying profit and premium experiences is downright shameful.
'The dilution of younger supporters, the austerity imposed on loyal club staff and the Push to create where we fear would become a' Disneyland of the North ', leave exactly where their priorities are – not with the fans, not with the community, but with shareholders, managers and a worldwide brand that the club of his roots of his roots that his roots of his roots that are the club of his roots that his roots of his roots of his roots that are the club of his roots that his roots of his roots of his roots that are the club of his roots that of his roots of his roots that of his roots of his roots that his roots of his roots.
'Let it be clear: this general vision is not for us. It is not for the fans who travel up and down the country and through Europe. It is not for those who have been in the same place in Old Trafford for decades. We think it's for profit – pure and simple. The burden of this greed is forced to generatively, who are priced, pushed and ignored.
'Using our club to apparently use' healthy opinion 'about the response to personal session licenses (PSL) is another alarm bell. This would further praise the youth, local communities and generations of loyal fans. It would be another step to tear football away from the roots of the working class, which shows how our club and owners have made in contact. This is not about the game or the supporters – we think it's about winning and greed about loyalty and tradition.
'We don't believe a word that the club says, while actions speak louder than words and their actions prove their intentions. We will not remain silent. We will not be complicit. Jim Ratcliffe, you have chosen your side and it is not ours. You are now shoulder on shoulder with the glassers. The mask has slipped. You are not a savior. You are like a (red) devil in disguise.
'So we are protesting for every fan who has been silenced, deported, priced and ignored. This is larger than one club. This is about the future of football. For those in our fan base if the cent has not yet fallen. Wake up. “
