The fans dislike the owners of ManU and a***nal mainly because the money they have paid for the club and the money invested has not resulted in either improved facilities at the stadium and improved results on the pitch. The Glazers have extracted huge sums from ManU to pay back loans and interest. If they couldn't afford the buy the club they should not have bought it. That money could have been better used.
Whilst Man City supporters (and Chelsea and to a greater extent Liverpool) were disgruntled, at least we have benefitted from silverware and good facilities. In the case of ManCity, the club has a huge outreach and charity programme. The owners have invested tens of millions in new training and academy facilities, remediating a large contaminated site opposite the Etihad and regenerating a swathe of east Manchester which had very low house values and there was little desire to live there. There is a genuine feel that the attending and locally based fans are important to the club.
Agreeing to join the ESL was a mistake but given that we have one piece of silverware already this season, one hand on a second and hopefully going into the final of the Champions League - I for one, am not complaining about our owners, now that they have admitted their mistake.
