Shocking company

Shocking company. Very questionable high risk strategies investing in poorly run companies. Keep your money OUT of their hands. Avoid at all costs

Stay away from Manchester United .

Stay away from Manchester United .

I have supported United for 60 years , & without doubt these Glazers are the worst thing to have happened to our famous club . All they have done is rob money from the club & put no investment into it . Old Trafford has gone from one of the best stadiums in the world , to a shadow of itself . The toilet floors are flooded with urine on match days . On wet days the roof leaks onto the fans . The training ground has gone to wreck & ruin , it being one of the best also . They have put the club in debt of 1b . When they bought the club it had NO debt .
We need proper owners in our club , who will bring us back up to where we used to be . We need investment into the stadium , the training ground , proper pitches for our junior & Ladies teams . We also need to be able to get some of the best players in the world .
With you investing in our club this can not happen . What will happen is the Glazers will get a few pots of paint , spend the least amount of money on our club & then POCKET YOUR MONEY .
Please do not invest in our club with these evil people . We have been tortured enough over the last 17 years . Thank you .

Jim Wall . ( a very proud United fan )

Awful company

Awful company
A company willing to do business with the Glazers.

Avram Glazer went to Epstien Island and the Glazers are blood sucking parasites.

Stay away from our club!

#NoToCarlyle Stay away from Manchester United

The Investment Firm Carlyle has shown nothing but greed and arrogance in its attempt to acquire Manchester United Football Club against the will of the fans. The fact that they are willing to disregard the wishes of the people who have supported and loved the club for decades shows a complete lack of understanding and respect for the traditions and values that make Manchester United what it is.

Carlyle's track record in business and finance is nothing to be proud of, with several cases of unethical practices and disregard for social responsibility. Their pursuit of Manchester United seems like nothing more than a shallow attempt to increase their portfolio and satisfy their own egos, without any consideration for the well-being of the club or its fans.

The prospect of Carlyle taking over Manchester United is a nightmare for fans who fear for the future of their beloved club. The company's reputation for prioritizing profit over people is a major cause for concern, as fans worry that the new owners will only be interested in making money at the expense of the team's success and its fans' happiness.

It is a shame that Manchester United is being threatened by such an unsavory company. The fans deserve better, and it is hoped that their voices will be heard loud and clear, and that Carlyle's bid for the club will ultimately fail.
