IAN LADYMAN: The Glazers are not listening and never will

Daily Mail  

For those familiar with the structural decline of Old Trafford during the years of Glazer ownership, the ease with which supporters entered Manchester United’s stadium will not have been a surprise. The Glazers never plan on listening to Manchester United fans, they never have before now Supporters forced United's clash with Liverpool to be called-off on Sunday with a protest Towards the end of season played without fans, this was something new, something even more depressing. United fans stormed the Old Trafford pitch, overwhelming security to get their voices heard Police struggled to get the situation under control after demonstrators broke into the ground A lawful day of demonstration then starts to look like football hooliganism and that is the last thing the sport needs in 2021. We have to hope that Sunday's events are as low as this crisis in English football is able to sink Football needs to get back to normal and get as far away from this season as quick as possible It is then possible they may face Chelsea in an all-English Champions League final.
