Question: If you had the chance to rebuild this entire Manchester United squad, how many of the current crop are you keeping around? #mufc

Shaw and Dorgu both injured so Dalot playing left-back because club refused to sign one.
Sesko out till January which means we play half the season without a striker.
This is for those toxic positivity fans who were telling us "you don't know better than the club" when we were begging every day to sign a left-back and striker, see how silly you look?

**THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE SALOON**
Our club have acted from day one as though the new stadium is already a done deal.
Surveys built around theoretical scenarios, diluting the voices of the very people who fill Old Trafford and have devoted their lives to this club.
There is a rot, a decay, a sense of hopelessness all due to the Glazers and Ratcliffe. They have sucked the life and dignity out of our club.
**Make no mistake. We are at a crossroads**
Act now or wave goodbye to the Manchester United you once knew.
Over the coming weeks, we will lay out clear plans. Plans that demand **ACTION**
And those actions will be down to **YOU, the fanbase.**
Not The 1958. Not another supporters' group. Not somebody else.
**YOU**
You might not like us. You might think we should smash the place up or somehow empty a 75,000 seat stadium.
We don't care what you think of us. It's all irrelevant.
This is bigger than The 1958. Bigger than egos, personalities and petty differences.
**Get behind the action or STFU when the club tramples all over you.**
Stop waiting for somebody else to fight your battles.
Because if we sit back and everything we've warned about becomes reality, don't start complaining that nobody did anything.
**You were warned. You had a choice.**
The plans will be crystal clear. The actions will be crystal clear.
The question is whether enough Reds give a shit to follow through.
**More to follow. Get your notifications on.**

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the broke billionaire.
MANCHESTER UNITED
He paid $33 a share. It closed at $20.00 this week.
At a $3.44bn market cap, his roughly 29% stake is worth about $1.0bn on the market. Around 39% below what he paid.
Club net debt passed $1bn for the first time. The $425m of 3.79% notes were refinanced into $550m at 5.36%. Cash at 31 March: £60.9m, down from £73.2m.
A £3bn new stadium, "privately financed" with no commencement date in sight.
Until February 2027, if the Glazers accept $33+ a share for the club, Ratcliffe is legally forced to sell too.
OGC NICE
Bought for about €100m in 2019. Asked €200m. Price cut. US sale collapsed in June 2026. Now needs €40m in player sales just to spend.
INEOS AUTOMOTIVE
Built to make 30,000 cars a year at Hambach. 2025 production came in under 7,000, down from 7,500 in 2024. Two straight years of nine-figure losses. Hundreds of job cuts.
PERSONAL FORTUNE
2023: £29.69bn
2024: £23.52bn
2025: £17.05bn
2026: £15.19bn
£14.5bn gone in three years. Down about 50%. From 2nd richest in Britain to 9th.
DEBT
By late 2025, INEOS Group Holdings and INEOS Quattro carried over £18bn of debt, up almost £3bn in a single year.
Annual debt servicing costs: £1.8bn. Up £600m in a year.
Projected Quattro's debt at 16.7x earnings for 2026.
In February 2026, S&P cut Group Holdings to B+ and Quattro two notches to B. No sustained recovery before 2028.
BORROWING
May 2026: €700m of new notes at 7.875%.
Group Holdings paid €474.8m in interest and finance items in just the first half of 2026.
INEOS QUATTRO
Even in the best chemicals quarter in years, Quattro lost money.
Q2 2026 loss: €34.7m
H1 2026 loss: €66.2m
Debt: €7.14bn
Total equity: €1.82bn
Shareholders had to inject €200m of fresh equity to prop it up.
NO DIVIDENDS
INEOS skipped its dividend for a second straight year. Group revenue fell from €16.2bn to €14.3bn in 2025, and European earnings nearly halved, from €470.2m to €252.3m.
Meanwhile, in H1 2026 alone, Group Holdings and Quattro paid a combined €86.1m in management fees to INEOS Services, a company owned by the same parent Ratcliffe controls.
Cash fell from €2.58bn at New Year to €1.85bn by June.
EUROPE
Antwerp: €3.0bn already drawn on its loan facilities. Start-up pushed to 2027 after the final modules got stuck at the Strait of Hormuz. INEOS is now suing Flanders and taking Belgium to international arbitration over about €1.5bn of claimed losses.

🗣️THE WARNINGS AND THE TRUTH
Four years ago we warned where this was heading.
We warned about the marginalisation and eradication of generational match-going Reds. Nobody listened.
We warned about the Americanisation of our game. Nobody cared.
We warned that if Ratcliffe didn’t change direction, he’d become another Glazer in all but name.
Polls said give him more time.
So we did.
We even postponed a protest at Arsenal because fans wanted to give him more time. Again we got abuse.
That decision demotivated lads in The 1958 who have sacrificed years of their lives, time, money and energy fighting for this fanbase and never asked for a thing in return. Some lads had personal abuse. Not after sympathy, those are the facts.
We never asked for nothing in return. We always preferred to be pissing from the outside in. Stood shoulder to shoulder with you.
We have banged on about unity since day one.
And for the last 12 months we have spent an unbelievable amount of time trying to make it happen.
Meetings
Calls
Messages
Statements
Campaigns
Endless frustration
Meanwhile some fans wanted to be edgy.
Some said it wasn’t their fight.
Some thought it would never affect them.
Well look around now.
Ticket prices.
Season Ticket sanctions.
Long standing Reds treated like suspects.
Time served Reds receiving banning orders.
Concessions disappearing.
More hospitality.
More premiumisation.
A future built around revenue, not supporters.
The chickens have come home to roost.
We take no pleasure in saying it, but we have got far more right than wrong.
And we wish we hadn’t.
This was never about being proved right.
It was about stopping it before it happened.
So now the question is simple.
Are you finally United around what we have been warning about since the day we formed?
Wake up and smell the coffee.
This is your Club.
This is your fight all generations all ages.
Are you with us, or against us?
Time is running out fast.
STAND BY.
The 1958 🇾🇪
