Anyone that supports FCUM is an uneducated idiot.
Whilst, I guess, it would be good for the Red Knights to purchase Manchester United, so long as they are paying their debts (which they are) I don't see the problem. It's hardly as if they have gone downhill since the Glazers have taken over.
FCUM are one of the best things to happen to this rotten 'industry' for many, many years. They are a club which puts service to its community ahead of success on the field. It redefines what a 'club' should be to its members and supporters. They have a constitution that means growth of the club will not be at the expense of the ethos that the club has been built upon. They do fantastic work to bring football back to those alienated by the financial discrimination that takes place in modern football, as well as many other forms of discrimination. They are trying to relocate... to the heart of their community at a higher cost than going to some industrial estate. FCUM is not simply there as an entertainment business where you pay to see the 'product'. It is a vehicle for community development, inclusiveness, ethical practice in sport, anti-discrimination campaigns, and as a national representative for grass-roots supporters groups and movements across Europe.
AFC Wimbledon have done similar things since their formation, and AFC Liverpool whilst not rejecting Liverpool FC are attempting to bring back in disaffected members of the Liverpool family.
The fans have a voice again, and I for one think it is marvelous.
