1/ Just come off the planning call, with Police and clubs, ahead of Liverpool away this Sunday. A few notes from the meeting below: In recent seasons there has been no post-match holdback and that is not expected on Sunday but as ever Police may change that decision on the day

Not aware of any but best to ask the club as it seems the there is a time limited window to make the change prior to renewal with ID verification. If you get an issue with this please copy ISLO into the email @islo-must.bsky.social

We continue his work today inspired by his warm, compassionate nature and the widespread affection and respect by all those whom he met & we drive for a brighter future for Manchester United Football Club.

He always looked at the bigger picture & had balanced views based on wanting to know all the details. Ian Stirling left a legacy through the many hours of work and determination he did fighting on behalf of many reds in our fanbase on various issues and campaigns to better our football club.

As we at MUST raise a glass in honour of our much loved friend & colleague 2 years on from his passing. We remember him in these ever changing times for the club by wondering what his thoughts would have been on the various things that have happened or will in the future of Manchester United.

10/ But until the questions are answered, our optimism about plans to make Old Trafford the biggest and the best again will be restrained by caution about what the consequences for fans might be."

071

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

9/ If they are able to produce a new stadium as stunning as the plans suggest without harming the atmosphere, without hiking ticket prices and without harming investment elsewhere, then this could be very exciting.

010

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

8/ "We look forward to further consultation with supporters and discussing these vital questions with the Club.

000

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

7/ Will it add to the debt burden which has held back the club for the last two decades? Will it lead to reduced investment in the playing side at a time when it is so badly needed?

000

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

6/ Whilst investment is much-needed and welcome, fans remain anxious about what it means and what the consequences will be. "Will it drive up ticket prices and force out local fans? Will it harm the atmosphere, which is consistently fans’ top priority in the ground?

020

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

5/ So now that decision has been made, fans will need to be consulted all along the way on the key features that impact match-going fans' experience and atmosphere.

000

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

4/ "As our own and the club’s consultations have shown, the answer to whether United fans want to refurbish Old Trafford or build a new ground depends entirely on what the consequences of the decision are.

010

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

3/ But against the backdrop of uncertainty around next year’s ticket prices, continuing poor performance on the field, speculation around sales of key young players, and the recent financial results, the news probably does beg more questions than it gives clear answers.

030

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

2/ Everyone wants the biggest and the best for our Club and the visuals look both stunning and exciting.

1/ Commenting on the announcement of a decision in principle to build a new stadium, a Manchester United Supporters Trust spokesperson said: "The announcement of plans to build a brand new stadium adjacent to Old Trafford is clearly very big news for United fans.

3/ £18.8m in debt interest payments over six months, taking the total interest costs since the Glazers’ leveraged buyout to more than £1bn Without the INEOS cash injection of £80m, the club would be down to £15m cash.

022

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

2/ Amongst the low-lights revealed in the figures are: A pre-tax loss for the three months of £38m The Club spent £14.5m on giving Erik Ten Hag a new contract and sacking him four months later.

021

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

1/ Commenting on today’s financial results released by Manchester United, the Manchester United Supporters Trust has issued the following statement: Today’s financial results lay bare the scale of the financial mismanagement we have seen at Manchester United.

This is the sort of negative malicious and inaccurate nonsense that we're referring to in 18/ above. A minutes research would have enlightened them. If you're attacking other United fans you're part of the problem. Best not to engage - ignore and crack on.

081

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

21/ He deserves that chance and our support deserves better - we need to go circle the wagons and adopt the siege mentality of Sir Alex. The only enemy is outside - we are United!

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

20/ And we need to get behind the team for the remaining matches of this season to reclaim what we can and give the manager the best chance to turn things around.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

19/ We need unity amongst our fans and that requires tolerance of different tactics but support wherever that is possible for anyone and any group who shares the same objectives.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

18/ That is the approach we believe is in the best interests of our supporters and our football club and we won't be deflected from that regardless of the negative voices. Those negative voices need to be ignored if they can't see they are damaging the interests of all fans.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

17/ So we'll continue with that dialogue but as we always have, we will also continue to support our fans' right to protest and publicise those efforts including those led by other groups.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

16/ It can only be achieved by a dialogue where the other side is prepared to listen to the arguments you are making.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

15/ It can tip into discontent and even rebellion in the stands. That's an impossible environment in which to expect players to perform and could spiral downwards into an irrecoverable tailspin. That argument needs to land with the decision makers.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

14/ Customers demand value for money and if they don't get the "product" they expect they complain - loudly. On the streets and in the stands too. Losing the fans doesn't just lose that inspirational support that can push the team for that injury time winner.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

13/ We impact the team performance and can make the difference between a win and a loss. But if you treat fans like customers then don't be surprised if they start to act like them and stop playing that role of support - getting behind the shirts unconditionally.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

12/ Not just because that's an obvious injustice but also because it is counterproductive even for the owners and will cost more than the small benefit it brings in short term revenue. The supporters bring far more value than the simple collective ticket revenue.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

11/ We know there is a lot of pressure on club finances due to past decisions. But we don't believe the fans should be paying the price for that.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

10/ So any price rise or policy is seen as a failure but they don't see just how much worse things could be with no voice at the table. So we need to continue that dialogue to work to get the best outcomes we can, both for our football club and our supporters.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

9/ So while we know we can't dictate the decisions the club and owners make we know that we can influence them and get a better deal. Perhaps the most frustrating thing is fans only see the final decisions.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

8/ Our fans were left without independent representation - without a voice at the table with the club. We got it wrong but those of us who made those choices have learned this the hard way and we aren't going back to make those same mistakes again.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

7/ And at the end of that 8 year war of attrition the owners were still there too. We've seen this movie before. Those 8 years were wasted. That personal sacrifice for those who gave up their STs was wasted.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

6/ From 2005 when some of us took the difficult decision to give up our season tickets and continue a hostile protest against our owners, to 2013 and the re-opening of dialogue around 8 years later, we had no influence over decisions that affect us as fans.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

5/ We know from history that that will not happen without dialogue as part of that strategy.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

4/ So it's horses for courses but ultimately we all want the same outcome. Owners who care about the club like we do as fans. Owners who don't take from the club but give to it just as we do.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

3/ Not surprisingly your opinion carries less weight if you hold a private conversation trying to persuade the merits of a certain course and then you step outside and slate those same people you are trying to persuade.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

2/ There needs to be some separation for that dialogue to be credible & influence decisions.

011

MUST - the Manchester United Supporters Trust @imust.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

1/ It's not a matter of dialogue or protest. Both have a role to play and we've used both tactics at different times over the last 25 years. But the most effective strategy is when they work in tandem.
