Manchester United fans are understandably becoming frustrated over the takeover process.
As things stand, the Glazers’ refusal to so far accept an offer from Sir Jim Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani looks like a blatant attempt to create an all-out auction.
Instead it is a farce.
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has hit out at the Glazer family with another rant (Neville hasn’t been shy — in recent years — when it comes to criticising the Glazers).
Neville has accused them of sucking the energy out of “everything they do” and claims he understands just how the fans are feeling.
“Honestly, I think everyone has got to the point whereby what the Glazers do, they erode every little bit of energy out of everything that they do,” Neville said, as per the Belfast Telegraph.
“The fans have had enough, they want them out and I think, to be fair, it’s sad, really, that it’s come to that but that’s exactly how I think everybody feels.
“They know nothing about Manchester or the north west of England and the tradition of football in this part. They have not embedded themselves in the local culture.”
Neville sums up the situation rather well and the regular briefs from the bidding process only makes people more impatient. In fact, it’s now a tiresome saga and the transfer window is just around the corner.
Ratcliffe, who wants to secure majority ownership of the club, is being reported as the preferred bidder by some media outlets. Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim wants a full takeover.

I agree with Gary ,all United supporters should boycott all games and buy tickets and shirts. The Glaziers are only interested in taking the money. Last time I checked the share price it was only worth £3.5 Billion and not the £6 Billion they want.
The Glazers have not outlaid even one cent of their own money for our Club, but have enriched themselves considerably since they ‘bought’ it.
Now they want SIX BILLION POUNDS for it – at least.
How much money do these elderly leeches think they can burn through in what remains of their miserable, greedy, grasping lives?
Totally agree. It always bewildered me as to how they were allowed to buy our club and put the debt onto us. They are pure greedy little men who have no interest in Man Utd except for what they can make out of the club.
Get rid asap. No more Americans involved with us.
Am one of the frustrated fans because i feel the pain from bottom of my heart all way through to my viens seeing a big club with a big name controlled with greedy owners(The glazers) .
Making my pee boil all this peeing about, fuming
Those guys are not human how do you make millions of money at the expense of the integrity of a club
The Glazer must go! I agree with Gary that they know nothing about Manchester. Again Manchester United is not their club, it’s ours. If they want to get embarrassed like that time when we invaded the pitch and the Manchester – Liverpool game fail….let them not handover the club. We love Manchester United and what is happening now is not good. For how long are we going to watch Manchester City dominating football in England? This is because of their foolish economy. Let’s have someone who can help the club have the glory that we deserve. They should not have shares in the club….let them go completely.
#GlazersOut!
They know nothing about footballing
Let them go now.
