Manchester United voted 'most hated company in Britain
http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddball...#ixzz1HuW5NLdb The results of an online survey of more than 1,000 people, conducted by Online Opinions, show that the side built by Sir Alex Ferguson is the most hated firm in Britain. Manchester United are the most despised firm in the UK, a survey suggests (PA) Manchester United are the most despised firm in the UK, a survey suggests (PA) No other football team is anywhere near as detested as the Red Devils, which secured 26 per cent of the overall vote, as the success, power and huge worldwide following were cited as major reasons for aggrieving football fans. Man United owners the Glazer family may not be happy to hear that they run the most hated firm in the country. The American businessmen are already battling discontent from their own fans, with many upset that the club was plunged into nearly £1billion worth of debt when it was purchased. Second on the list of hated companies was Ryanair, with 23 per cent of those polled claiming to be fed up with the airline's 'money-grabbing' ways. Utility company British Gas was named by 22 per cent of respondents as the company they really can't stand, after repeatedly raising gas prices. Despite helping to plunge the country into recession with mountains of bad debt, government-owned Royal Bank of Scotland was further down the list, sparking rage in just 16 per cent of those taking part in the survey. |

Re: Manchester United voted 'most hated company in Britain
A whole thousand people eh? If you look at the manpower that forums like RAWK can gather online for hijacking these things you see that this is a pathetic little poll that means nothing. Nice to know people think about us mind.

Re: Manchester United voted 'most hated company in Britain
It just makes the Trophies taste sweeter tbh.
As most of us have noticed lately, 'ABU'ism is off the chart right now ...not quite sure why??...I mean Chelsea won the Double last season so it's not as if we're the team to knock off the top. We also have a collection of pretty mild mannered, wouldn't say Boo to a Goose Players so it aint like Leeds in the 70s when they had Bremner, Hunter & co.. It's fuelled in part by Fergie's ongoing War with the scumbag media, which has reached breaking point at times this Season. For me this Season has really dragged it's heels...still can't work out if I've 'enjoyed' it or not, but if we win Number 19 & IF we get past Chelsea & City (regardless of whether we go on to win the Cups themselves) it'll be a £#%&!ing unforgettable Season. |
