You can turn up at old trafford, sit in your seat, boo the manager, boo at the moon and call it charlie if you want - they won't bat an eyelid. As long as you keep turning up. We are utterly expendable and are nothing more than a means to an end, what we want and what we think is utterly irrelevant. Even lord Govan showed us exactly what he thought of us when he told us to all £#%&! off and support chelsea if we had a problem with what was happening at the club.
Quite frankly i'm staggered that supporters haven't vented before now to be honest. But then, most of them there are £#%&!ing morons.

I think it would make a difference - perhaps not a telling difference but I can't see how it won't hurt them at least a bit. United have created a whole branding industry surrounding their product - a product which has enjoyed 20 years harmonious success. Lack of success and negative images of supporter dissent isn't good for mister potatoe or the corporates %@#$&!s that united drive so hard.
Brands don't want to be associated with negative scenes nor do corporates want to entertain clients in that environment. They'll withdraw and that will massively hurt united. I imagine out of all the issues the club faces, not being in the champions league next year and our sponsors ability to re-negotiate their positions will be the most serious that moyes faces.
