Oh wow. I had no idea that was the case. I wasn't aware of it until the whole ESL thing went down.Protests have been going on far longer than the past few seasons. The green and gold campaign started while Ferguson was still the manager. To say they are just protesting now because the team is shit is ridiculous.
The scale of protests has grown larger over the past year because of 1. The super league debacle and 2. The rumors that the glazers may want to sell.
The owners have taken out between 1 and 1.5 billion pounds out of the club. Nobody is asking them to put their own money into it. If they let the club run and spend it’s profits on players and facility upgrades nobody would protest.
