Football: Man United fans plan further protest against ownership

Image
Manchester United fans have once again been urged to wear black to protest against the ownership of their club. This idea has come from a significant supporters group, the 1958, who have told fans to wear black when they attend Sunday's match against Arsenal at Old Trafford. Author - Olivia T A spokesperson for the ground said: “The club is slowly dying before our eyes, on and off the pitch, and the blame lies squarely at the current ownership model. The club is facing financial Armageddon. Debt is the road to ruin." In recent months, several cost-cutting and fundraising measures have been implemented following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS group completing a minority share purchase of 27.7% on February 20 of last year. These measures include the recent decision to set all ticket prices at £66, regardless of age, as well as two rounds of redundancies. Ruben Amorim took over from Ten Hag in October, but there has been no improvement in the team's performance. The latest...

Another frustrating afternoon for Wigan Athletic  The Latics suffered late heartbreak as Reading struck twice in the final 20 minutes to turn the game around and snatch a 2-1 victory at the DW Stadium. Author - Amy W The first half was largely dominated by the visitors, with Latics goalkeeper Sam Tickle producing a string of fine saves to keep them at bay. He pushed away a powerful Lewis Wing free-kick from 25 yards before pulling off a stunning reflex stop to deny Andre Garcia from point-blank range. Match highlights | Wigan Athletic YouTube Wigan had a stroke of luck when Harvey Knibbs’ deflected effort looped over Tickle but landed on the roof of the net rather than in it.
