The supporters are the heart and soul of any club. Managers, players and even owners all come and go, but the fans of the club will always be there, paying their money and voicing their support. And although that gives them the right to show their frustrations, more often than not those in the stands will back their team.
However, tensions are high at Old Trafford this season, and those who follow Manchester United have had it hard to deal with. We now sit seventh in the table and our season looks dead, but David Moyes was always going to need time.
While I understand people getting upset about the displays, the news I read about our fans’ childish antics made me feel a little bit embarrassed.
Perhaps I am old fashioned, but when I read – via the Manchester Evening News – that our fans are planning to chip in to fly a plane over the ground this weekend during our game with Aston Villa, I could only think ‘how pathetic’.
Yes Moyes has struggled this season, but we need to give him time and all the backing we can. If he fails again next season then perhaps we can wave goodbye, but for now we need to stop the childish games and get behind the team.
