I think today might genuinely be my last day supporting Manchester United and I have a few reasons for that. 1. The Glazers seem content treating this great institution like the Dallas Cowboys franchise: a global commercial powerhouse with enormous revenue but seemingly very little sporting ambition. A club happy to milk its brand while wallowing in perpetual mediocrity. 2. INEOS has been nothing short of disappointing. Their approach to running this football club has done little to inspire confidence and frankly, I've had enough. 3. The match-going fanbase also needs to take some responsibility. The reluctance to engage in meaningful, disruptive protests against the ownership, coupled with the hostility towards alternative forms of protest that could actually generate attention and pressure, is part of the problem. Singing, chanting and bantering might make for a good atmosphere, but they aren't going to change anything. At some point, enough has to be enough. I wasn't born in Manchester, so I have no business dictating how the local fanbase should support or protest. But I also cannot, in good conscience, continue emotionally investing in a club whose owners appear comfortable with mediocrity and whose supporters seem increasingly divided on how to hold them accountable. I'll probably always have a soft spot for Manchester United. That kind of attachment doesn't just disappear overnight. But there's a difference between loving a football club and blindly enabling the people running it into the ground. It's genuinely heartbreaking watching what was once such a great institution become this version of itself. I don't think I've fallen out of love with Manchester United. I've simply run out of reasons to keep defending what it's become. Cc. @SaeedTV_ @jonmikesav8 @ManUtd #MUFC
