Protest for being absentee owner’s

Manchester United supporters protest against club ownership outside the team hotel.

"Get out of our club," fans chanted as flares were set off. "We want Glazers out."
The match has now been abandoned.

They are demanding change at the top of the club which has been in control of the Glazer family since 2005.
The family, who also own the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have declined to engage with fans since gaining control in a leveraged takeover that loaded debt onto the club.
The anti-Glazer movement has gained huge momentum in recent weeks following their failed attempt in April to form part of a breakaway Super League. Fans are calling for them to relinquish control.

Nothing puts a shine on your brand like one of your richest boosters, the Glazers, cultivating goodwill in other markets.

Great story. Last paragraph telling;
“Glazers at United since day one. The fans wanted them out then, and it remains the case 17 years later. The hostility is as fierce as ever, and even when beating Liverpool and Arsenal at Old Trafford this season, the stadium reverberated to chants of "We want Glazers out."

But do they care enough about Tulane to make that kind of commitment? Pretty much our only chance at this point is to have that deep pockets benefactor to put up wads of cash to upgrade our facilities and get us into a PEE league.

If they only donate the part after the decimal, we can build an upper deck on the Nimby side and put a roof and a/c the whole stadium!
