Manchester United's Glazer Family and Owners Face Call to Resign as Fans Rebel Over 'Disaster' Under Ratcliffe
In a dramatic turn of events, Manchester United supporters group The 1958 has vowed to oust the club's ownership model, with owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe being labeled an "incompetent clown" by the group. With tensions running high, the group is set to hold a protest at the home match against Fulham on February 1, aiming to make their voices heard at Old Trafford.
The call for change comes in the wake of former manager Ruben Amorim's sacking, which has left fans questioning the competence of chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox. The group's frustration boils over after a disastrous run of results, with Amorim's departure following a 15th-placed finish in the Premier League β Manchester United's worst ever.
The 1958, which boasts around 100,000 members, has been vocal about their discontent in recent times, citing high ticket prices and poor treatment by the club as key issues. Now, they're demanding action, with the group's leader stating that Ratcliffe is "turning the club into a circus" and that Amorim's dismissal was a clear sign of the ownership model's failure.
As Manchester United gears up to face Fulham at Old Trafford, fans will be on high alert, holding a banner in the away end that reads 'Jim Can't Fix This'. The 1958 is now urging for a vote of no confidence in the club's ownership model, with their aim being the removal of Ratcliffe and the Glazer family from the club. It remains to be seen whether the owners will heed the fans' demands or continue down the current path.
With Manchester United's proud history on the line, The 1958 is fighting for the very soul of the club, warning that if change isn't made soon, it could be too late. As one supporter so poignantly put it: "If you knew you couldn't play tomorrow, how hard would you play today?"
