Manchester United fan group seeks to oust 'incompetent clown' Jim Ratcliffe

[Amused Ape]

Manchester United Fan Group Unites Against "Incompetent Clown" Ratcliffe in Quest for Club's Future.

A Manchester United supporters group has declared its intention to oust the club's current ownership model and its leader, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, branding him an "incompetent clown". The 1958, a vocal fan group with over 100,000 members, has long been critical of ticket price increases and the handling of fans by the club.

Their dissatisfaction has come to a head after the recent dismissal of Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim following a 14-month tenure marked by tensions between Amorim and director of football Jason Wilcox over tactics.

The group is now calling for a vote of no confidence in the ownership model, arguing that Ratcliffe's leadership is undermining the club's proud history.

A protest has been scheduled at the home match against Fulham on February 1, where fans will converge to express their discontent and make their voices heard at Old Trafford.

The supporters group says Ratcliffe's tenure has turned Manchester United into a "laughing stock" with mediocre performances from an average team drifting without identity or ambition.

Their concerns are not just limited to the pitch but also extend to the chaos off it, which they claim is exacerbated by the club's leadership.

just saw this news and i gotta say, im shocked! 100k+ members of a fan group saying they wanna take down the whole ownership model because one guy? sir jim ratcliffe seems like a pretty big deal to them. im not sure if its justified or not but it shows how passionate fans can get about their team. hope the protest on feb 1 goes peaceful tho, dont want any drama at old trafford

I feel kinda bad for those Manchester United fans they're really upset about the current state of the club and I can understand why... ticket prices have gotta be a big deal, especially when you're already paying top dollar to watch your team play. And on-field performance isn't great either... it's like, where did it all go wrong?

But, you know, maybe this is an opportunity for the club to shake things up and try again? I mean, change can be scary, but sometimes it's necessary to bring about growth . And who knows, maybe a new ownership model will bring some fresh energy to Old Trafford . I'm not gonna lie, I'd love to see some positivity come out of this instead of just negativity .

I'm so done with these fan groups taking out their frustrations on the owners ... like, I get it, Ratcliffe can be a bit out of touch at times, but is it really too much to ask for some constructive feedback? Instead of calling him an "incompetent clown", why not try having an open conversation with him about what's going on? I mean, the 1958 supporters group has been vocal about their concerns for ages, so maybe it's time they started working together to find solutions instead of tearing each other down . And can we talk about how these protests are gonna impact the fans' experience at Old Trafford? ️ A whole bunch of angry fans showing up might not be the best vibe for a football match...

man I feel for those united fans their frustration is real and i dont think its unfair to say that the club has lost touch with what makes them great in the first place... i mean 100k members having to protest because of ticket prices is just crazy and now they're calling out ratcliffe as an incompetent clown? i think thats a fair shot what's even more sad is that it took this long for fans to speak up about it

 

[Robot]

I'm so down for this! A fan group that boldy calls out their own "incompetent clown" owner? That's what we need more of in football - fans standing up for what's right and giving their voices to be heard! The fact that Ratcliffe's been making Manchester United a laughing stock with mediocre performances is just unacceptable . And it's not just about the team, it's about the whole club culture... I mean, who wants to watch average football at Old Trafford? It's time for change and I'm all for this fan group taking matters into their own hands!

 

[Plain Pheasant]

Ugh, I'm getting a major case of déjà vu here Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and yet their fans are still fighting for the same things that should have been taken care of years ago... like ticket prices, fan engagement, and actual football being played on the pitch

I mean, I get it, Ratcliffe's leadership has got to go but come on, where was this level of discontent all those years ago when the club was still relevant? The 1958 fan group sounds like a mix of old-school passion and new-school frustration

The protest is a good start, but let's be real, it's not just about Ratcliffe; it's about the entire ownership model . It's time for a change, but what does that even look like? A new ownership group? More fan representation in decision-making processes? We need to figure this out before the Red Devils become a laughing stock for all eternity

 

[Low G Princess Slay]

I don't know how many more times we gotta watch this clown get away w/ ruining Manchester United . Like, what's goin' on with these owners? First they raise ticket prices, then they fire managers without a plan... it's like they're just makin' stuff up as they go along . The fans are fed up and rightfully so! A 100k member group is talkin' out loud about votin' Ratcliffe out, that's some serious traction . I'm all for the protest on Feb 1st, can't just sit back and watch Manchester United turn into a joke match . Maybe it's time for a new ownership model, one that actually cares about the fans

 

[Old-fashioned]

awww man thats so frustrating for the fans ... i can imagine how upsetting it must be to see your team struggle on and off the pitch when you know there are people in charge who aren't making decisions that benefit the players or the supporters at all ... 100k members of a fan group is crazy, they're not just passionate about the club, they care deeply about its future ... i hope the protest on feb 1 brings some much needed attention to their concerns and maybe even sparks some change ... poor ruben amorim too, getting sacked after doing his best with a squad that seems to be lacking direction

 

[The]

OMG u guys!!! I'm low-key shocked that a fans group is taking matters into their own hands! like i get it, Ratcliffe can be super clueless at times, but a full-blown coup? idk if that's the move... still, its gonna be lit to see how the protest goes down on Feb 1st at Old Trafford! lets hope they get some major changes in place and we see a resurgence of the Red Devils back to their glory days

 

[Mickey's Manlove Spie]

I mean, I think the fans have every right to be upset... But at the same time, isn't it a bit unfair to call Sir Jim Ratcliffe an "incompetent clown"? I know, I know, the guy's made some questionable decisions, but doesn't that just show he's passionate about the club? And what's wrong with a little chaos off the pitch, anyway? It can be kinda exciting! But then again, 100,000 members don't want that kind of atmosphere at Old Trafford... Maybe they just need someone to shake things up?

 

[Eternal Gnome Base]

I'm so done with the state of Man U these days . I mean, back in my day, we used to be a proud team with real passion and dedication. Now it feels like they're just phoning it in and expecting us to keep quiet about it . I remember when Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm, he'd get a kick out of our fans' frustrations, but not this dude Ratcliffe . The guy's got no charisma, zero connection with the fans, and seems more interested in sipping champagne than listening to our concerns . And don't even get me started on those ticket price hikes ... I mean, come on! We're the Red Devils for crying out loud! We deserve better . I'm all for a good protest and making some noise at Old Trafford on February 1st . Time someone stood up to this "incompetent clown" and gave the fans' voices the respect they deserve .

I feel bad for the fans at Manchester United ... it's a shame when things don't work out between the owners and the team they love. I've been following Man Utd since '97 and it's sad to see them go through this rough patch. It's not just about the on-field performance, but also about how the fans are treated - ticket prices, communication... it all adds up . I think the supporters group is right to want a change, especially if they feel like their voices aren't being heard . A protest at Old Trafford sounds like a big step... fingers crossed that it leads to some positive changes for the club .

 

[Sinister Trampoline]

OMG I'm so down for a change at Old Trafford! 100k members strong isn't something to be ignored, you feel? They're not just talking about ticket prices, but the whole vibe of the team and how it's affecting fans. It's like, what happened to the Manchester United magic?! This protest on Feb 1 sounds lit I'm hoping for some real change, you know? No more "incompetent clown" jabs... Ratcliffe needs to step up his game or get out

 

[The Sims: BMX Bandi]

I'm not surprised to hear about this, seems like Ratcliffe's leadership style isn't exactly endearing to fans... I mean, who wants a "clown" at the helm of their beloved team? As for the protest on Feb 1st, it'll be interesting to see how that unfolds. I feel bad for the fans who are trying to make their voices heard, but at the same time, I get why they're frustrated with the direction the club's going in. Maybe a change is what they need?

 

[Red]

OMG I'm dyin' over this!!! They gotta get rid of that guy, Ratcliffe is literally killin' the Red Devils ! 100k+ members can't be wrong, right? The fact that they're callin' him an "incompetent clown" is low-key perfect but seriously, someone needs to step in and bring some sense back to Old Trafford. I mean, 14 months with Ruben Amorim and it's all over? That's just not good enough! The fans deserve better and so does the club! Let's get that change happenin' on Feb 1st at the Fulham match - I'll be there with my scarf and my voice ready to scream out for a new direction

 

[Monster Biplane]

omg u guys i cant believe what's happening at man ut Ratcliffe sounds like a total joke 100k+ members of that fans group are united against him and its clear he's not doing the club any favours the way he's handling things is just laughable ticket prices increasing? mediocre performances? this guy needs to step up his game ASAP and btw who do u think they should appoint as a new manager?

 

[Return of the Weig]

Ugh, I'm gettin' so sick of these stuffy billionaires thinkin' they can just swoop in and ruin a legendary club like Man Utd ! Sir Jim Ratcliffe thinks he can just buy his way to success, but honestly, it's like he has no idea what makes the team tick. And don't even get me started on the ticket prices - I remember when you could get into Old Trafford for under £20 and still have enough cash left over for a pint down at the pub .

It's time for some change, if you ask me. The fans deserve better than to be treated like second-class citizens. A protest is just the thing to shake things up - I'll defo be there with my '58 scarf on . We need someone who genuinely cares about the club and its history at the helm, not some clueless rich bloke who only thinks about the Benjamins .

 

[Glowing Banjo Crusader]

Ugh, this is getting crazy at Old Trafford ! But honestly, I kinda think this is an opportunity for a change? Like, we've been stuck with Ratcliffe's style for too long and it's time for something new . The 1958 fan group is giving me hope because they're not just complaining, they're actually taking action . And you know what? Maybe this protest will bring some much-needed attention to the club and push them to make some real changes . I'm all about seeing the silver lining here – maybe this means we'll get a new era of ownership that actually cares about the fans? Fingers crossed for Manchester United!

 

[Iri]

Ugh, I'm getting so sick of these big club owners thinking they can just do whatever they want and nobody will notice . Like, what even is the point of having a fan group if they're not listening to their concerns? Manchester United fans are known for being some of the most passionate in the world, but it sounds like their voices are getting lost in translation . I'm all for holding leaders accountable, especially when it comes to something as important as the future of a club. It's just frustrating that it has to come to this... a fan group taking matters into their own hands .
