Why is Manchester United considered the most hated football club by most football fans?
Glory Hunting fans.That’s right I said it.There’s a shit ton of them.The past 3 seasons have been a blessing in disguise for the fan base, it really filtered out all the band wagoners and the glory hunters from the true loyal fans who have stuck with the club through thick and thin.Don’t get me wrong , there are many factors which cause United to be the focus of hatred for many fans , which include their commercial and on the pitch success , their dominance for the last 2 decades but I am sure the United fan base is the main root of all the hatred.United fans have been arrogant for throughout the Sir Alex era, and now are becoming like Liverpool fans bragging about their history throughout the barren years.Don’t get me wrong, banter makes football that much more interesting, but there are many United fans who are down right deluded.Many United fans are just too biased to be objective about football debates and are too impatient with the club.I am no saint also, I have been very harsh on some players but I still believe my criticisms are just.Ps I just think Liverpool fans are the most hated amongst the league.
Manchester United fans , others may also contribute....!?
You'll get many United fans on here claiming "well I never did!" but i'm pretty sure you, as i have MANY times over the years, seen the complete 180 attitude they have towards former "heroes". Remember how they lashed out at England and the England fans for criticising David Beckham's red card at the world cup in 1998, and when he's sold we see signs and placards at Old Trafford reading "Beckham WHO?" It was the same with Van Nistelrooy, Heinze and Stam. Tevez is further proof. "Fergie, sign him up, Fergie, Fergie sign him up" Yet on ALL the internet football forums "He's a Mercenary, only wants more money" Whether it's their way of saving face and embarrassment over being snubbed by players or they genuinely didn't like the players i don't know. All i know is it's nothing new to me. I've listened to their garbage for years and although, again, it's not ALL United fans it's in the HUGE majority of voices and opinions that love the player one minute and then when he's no longer associated with the club, he's forgotten and even ridiculed. Judging by the td's i've received i've obviously hit a raw nerve. No Farrah, you're giving your opinion, just as i am giving mine from my own experiences. It's not automatically the truth just because you've said it. I've been around Utd fans a lot longer than you have, what Umer has mentioned is nothing new to me. Besides, if you've noticed yourself that Utd fans acted angrily towards you for those views it sort of confirms what i've said doesn't it? Why shouldn't Umer say that? It's his opinion and one shared by many Utd fans here in Manchester. Most if not all my Utd supporting mates say that OT is full of 'fans' who don't really cheer for the club and are plastic glory hunters. You have to really discuss football matters to get that admission out of them though, they can be quite defensive.
How could fans and clubs work together to improve security and fair play in football?
OMG, IT"S Patrick Viera HIMSELF.*faints* ^_^ --------------------------------------... -Hooliganism sometimes starts within internet forum groups. So fans would be wise to report these forum groups so that these sites can be dismantled. -In some countries that receive terrorist threats , there is usually a guard/s who checks all baggage, pockets, clothing, etc. before anyone steps on the bus, into the mall, on the subway, etc. This quick and simple security check has SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the possibility of people bringing in firearms and other weapons and dangerous devices/ material into these facilities, and terrorism in these countries and it would be a good idea if this was implemeted in all stadiums. If people can't bring anything dangerous inside then the chance of a violent event will be significantly reduced. Police can set up K9 units, X rays, and others to help reduce the threat. - Managers should not allow notoriously violent players to play often as punishment. If football is the livelihood for these players, they are ruining their only chances of income by being rowdy and should be punished in and off pitch. - Clubs should set a good portion of their budget to maintain and repair their home stadiums. Some accidents on the past were caused by faulty maintenance. FIFA and some volunteer fans could help inspect the stadiums before games are played. It will cost FIFA more money to make regular inspections but safety and not money should be their top priority. - Materials that advocate racism, etc. that are brought into games should not be allowed inside. Fans who chant things that are meant to degrade or demoralise other fans or the players during games (ie booing, taunting a player) should be sent out immediately. Security personel should be deployed around the stadium. - Fans should notify authorities immediately if they suspect anything suspicious. -Some stadiums should be given special funds from FIFA or other sources to increase capacity and improve maintenance. Better capacity means less crowding. - Security cameras would also be a good idea so that potential hooligans know that they are being watched. ---------------
What is wrong with Manchester United?
An incredible lack of self-awareness.That's what is wrong with Manchester United, for a few year nows.1. They didn't aware that they had a worse squad than most of their competitors. This had been the problem in the last few years of Sir Alex Ferguson's reign. Besides Van Persie, Vidic and Ferdinand, none the rest (including Rooney on his recent form) would have made the first team of Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea or Manchester City (and those three good guys were old to begin with.) Sir Alex, Giggs and Scholes helped paper over the crack, but they were always going to retire. Instead of taking advantage of the time these veterans buy them to build the next foundation, MU rest on their laurels until it was too late.2. They didn't aware that they could spend money. I don't understand their logic. For many years under Sir Alex Ferguson after the Glazers' takeover, they made one big signing in Van Persie. Even he came for only 22.5m pounds. Then they suddenly they spent like crazy under Moyes and Van Gall. What's the deal? Why wasn't those money available for Sir Alex? Just imagine what he could have done with the kind of money available for his successors!3. They didn't and still don't aware that they don't hold much power on the transfer market any more. Just look at the recent dealings. They lost out on all of their main targets such as Fabregas and Vidal, yet somehow they still think that players such as Hummel and Strootman would be excited to ditch their respective current high-flying clubs for them. MU simply need to wake up from their illusion. They need to become humble, understand that they're no longer a top dog and start rebuilding from the bottom. That means not going for the superstar like Di Maria but buying good and young players that cost about 10 to 20 millions each to build a solid foundation a.k.a the Roma, Aletico Madrid, and Borrusia Dormund's approach. That will get them back to near the top. Then, and only then, they could buy one or two true superstars to put them back into the rank of the Europe's elites. (Heck, if they do it fast enough, they may even be able to get Ronaldo back.)Yet, with the kind of talks they're giving, I'm not sure if they have waken up. MU fans may have to suffer for a few more years.
