[1] YET MORE GLAZER FINANCIAL HORROR
[2] THE GLAZERS - WHAT YOU CAN DO [3] GREEN & GOLD MUST FUNDRAISER - MANCHESTER THIS SUNDAY - ARSENAL CHUBB CLUB - FREE G&G SCARF [1] YET MORE GLAZER FINANCIAL HORROR Not only did the bond issue allow the Glazers to take up to £130 million out of Manchester United in the first year and up to £500 million pounds over the bond issue but new evidence uncovered by MUST member "Andersred" suggests they do have every intention to take up to £400 million in dividends. http://andersred.blogspot.com/2010/0...-take-out.html This is a necessarily technical document but it is the duty of every loyal Manchester United supporter to use the anger the Glazers' plans and actions provoke to motivate ourselves into positive action. Who are the MUGS who bought the bonds. They made a paper loss as soon as they started to trade - so much for being oversubscribed! [2] THE GLAZERS - WHAT YOU CAN DO The MUST strategy is based on three strands which might be summarised as Supporters, Political, Financial. We'll go into more detail in due course but suffice to say growing the network of Manchester United supporters is the most important single thing any of us can do right now. See RECRUIT below. Building a huge international network of Manchester United supporters is crucial not just in order to whield a big enough stick to persuade the Glazers to go but also to form a significant group to participate in any future ownership structure. The financial component is really encouraging. We have been approached by a number of super rich/influential United supporters interested in exploring the options for a change of ownership. The individuals are high profile and totally credible. If/when they choose to go public is a matter for them but we will be appealing for all those potentially interested in participating in future ownership of Manchester United to join us or make contact now. If we're going to win this battle and prevent them from doing any more damage to our club it is going to require the whole of the Manchester United family to come together from your ordinary supporter to the wealthy "Red Knights". We understand the mood has already changed within Old Trafford as everyone realises they have to go sooner rather than later. ACTIONS: [a] Ask every United supporter you know to join MUST as a free e-member and chase them up to make sure they do: http://www.joinmust.org/refer MUST has grown rapidly in the last week - now more than 41,000 members. We can double that if we all make the effort. [B] Sign the Number 10 petition. We understand this was created by a MUST (e)member. Well done to Andrew Henderson for getting off his backside to take action: Wording starts: "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to believe the Government should urgently take action on behalf of all football supporters to prevent Manchester United Football Club (and other English football clubs) being destroyed by corporate greed ...." Sign here: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/football4fans/ [c] GREEN & GOLD - wear your colours with pride The GREEN & GOLD campaign is about showing your opposition to the Glazer regime in a very visible way by wearing the old GREEN & GOLD colours of the original Newton Heath - the origin of Manchester United. It is important not to get in people's faces with this - we want to persuade supporters to join rather than get into arguments that turn them against the campaign. MUST has been ordering GREEN & GOLD scarves as fast as as suppliers can produce them and selling them at cost price (£2.50) to help get the GREEN & GOLD "ideavirus" to critical mass. It looks like we're already there judging by the colours on show at OT on Wednesday night. However we're continuing with another 2000 in time for Portsmouth(H) on Feb 6th on sale from outside MUST office on matchday. They'll also be available online shortly. Street sellers have been posing as MUST sellers so don't give a donation if they demand one or ask for more than £2.50. Safest to buy from the MUST stalls or Premier Inn (formerly Golden Tulip). T-Shirts United have also produced a special fundraising t-shirt - use this link to give MUST a special commission: http://www.tshirtsunited.com/affilia...on-tshirt.html MUST will get a 10% commission on all other products too so please bookmark this link for future use: http://www.tshirtsunited.com/affiliates/must.html [d] Donate - time and/or money We've got a number of initiatives that are going to require significant funding - web development, mailshots, PR stunts, GREEN & GOLD promotion. These will be detailed in due course. If you'd like to help by donating to MUST please do so via your account here: https://www.joinmust.org/members/emsp.php If you'd like to donate your time to the cause and especially if you have some specific skills you think will help please get in touch with the MUST office via the helpdesk. http://www.joinmust.org/help [3] GREEN & GOLD MUST FUNDRAISER - MANCHESTER THIS SUNDAY - ARSENAL CHUBB CLUB - FREE G&G SCARF For those who can get into central Manchester on Sunday we'll be holding a special GREEN & GOLD CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING CHUBB CLUB.
