11月1日,24直播网报道,曼联在一场与切尔西的较量中败北,这一结果使得红魔与陷入降级困境的水晶宫并列积分榜,使得这家顶级英超俱乐部陷入了前所未有的困境。对此,记者亨利·温特就曼联当前的境况以及格雷泽家族的管理发表了个人看法。

On social media platforms, Henry Winter expressed his views, stating that it is crystal clear that Manchester United needs to break free from the shackles of the Glazer family, a point he has been emphasizing since 2005. However, the question remains: how can this be achieved? The process of reshuffling the management team is an arduous task. Some fans of Manchester United have even proposed that they would rather accept relegation, as it might prompt the Glazers to reconsider selling off their stake; yet, such a demotion might only serve to reinforce their grip, given that the value of a Premier League club significantly surpasses that of an English Football League (EFL) club. Others have suggested boycotting matches, yet why should loyal supporters be compelled to halt their support for their beloved team? Furthermore, even if a few matches were left unfilled, the club could easily fill those seats with casual attendees.

采取回避官方商店和赛场餐饮服务的策略已成为一种公开的抗议方式(许多球迷已先行一步),然而,此举也将对一般职员和临时工作人员产生不良影响。尽管高喊反对格雷泽家族的口号和展示抗议标语能够向全球展示这些居住在异国的家族备受反感,但这可能难以真正触动他们位于地球另一端的内心。他们或许会宣称在转会市场投入了巨额资金(尽管有不当之处),但这些资金并非源自他们个人的钱包,而是来源于众多球迷所创造的收入。

在曼联球迷群体中,存在多个有影响力的组织、期刊、在线讨论平台和音频节目。提出疑问:若对独立足球监管机构(IFR)提出质疑,探讨格雷泽家族是否满足“适宜与合格的业主”的条件,此举是否能够带来实质性改变?显然,对独立足球监管机构及政府施加压力,倡导立法改革,以禁止依赖债务的杠杆收购,这一行动有着坚实的理论基础(鉴于独立足球监管机构对立法机构有提供咨询的义务)。

英格兰体育界的一颗明珠,尽管享有盛誉,却不幸承受着巨额债务的重压,且由一位备受争议的领导层所领导,这一现状无疑造成了极大的尴尬。遗憾的是,格雷泽家族的痕迹,犹如难以根除的顽垢,其清除过程可能旷日持久。
