They also have a low tolerance for BS & are quick to wield their muscle should the need to do so arise.
Take Mamelodi Sundowns for instance (one of South Africa's biggest clubs). Most of their managers (Johan Neeskens included) have been hounded out of the club following a few bad results. When I say hounded out of the club I mean having to be escorted police officers & armed guardsmen out of the stadium.
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm a big proponent of people power. It is therefore, disappointing for me to see United fans doing nothing but moan, whinge, feel hapless & wallow in self pity instead of DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!
I guess it is a reflection of the times. The game - atleast in England - is no longer supported by die hard, working class folks who are fanatical in their support of their side.
The game is now supported by suit wearing types that would rather moan & whinge on twitter instead of taking action.
It is sad state of affairs!!!!
This is a rose tinted view of the 'people power' that these clubs employ.
The reality is that the socios in many parts of the world are fully corrupt, draining money and resources from their clubs and, certainly at the top of the chain, are more about their own self-interest than they are about the success of the club they profess to support.
I'm not sure the socio model is one you really want clubs here to follow, let alone for the violence you seem to be supportive of.
South African fans are the softest going.
Its all this pc gone mad nonsense turning football crowds soft their are to many woman at games now men cannot act like real men this is a mans game I remember when we used to throw bottles of pissss down the terraces and it would smash a guy in the head and cover them with pisss that was a proper football experience made men real men now they probably think they are women or gender liquid or some nonsense this is a straight white mans game lets take are game back.

Happy with Mick mate?
I’m content for him to have the next 2 years. Be interesting to see how Kenny fairs
Well mate, happy enough, feels a bit short term but if the plans for Kenny come to fruition, amd Mick gets us to the Euros then will be good.
Does feel like Delaney doing his best to keep the wolves from the door though.
I was a big fan of Mick last time around but he had a far superior squad at his disposal.
My fave South African is back
Agreed on the squad issue.
Also Delaney is a cant
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm a big proponent of people power

Such a shame English fans don't get the biggest games called off, don't murder each other, aren't massively racist, aren't all banned from away games, don't kill themselves after bad results, don't physically attack players and managers, don't ruin football.
Such a shame.

Look mate, I'm a ''The ends justify the means'' type of fella.
If you've exhausted all options, then you are justified in using violance to put your point across.
As I said, in South Africa for instance, football is still a working man's sports. It is more than just a past time for them & they realy take it seriously down there.
That's the reason why they have a low tolerance for BS.
Instead moaning on twitter day in & day out, they actually get their hands dirty. There's a reason why the powers that be (chairmen, ceo's etc) don't take us seriously. There's a reason why our complaints fall on deaf ears. If they knew that our discontent could boil over into violence, they wouldn't treat us like chumps.
They would actually LISTEN when we voice our grievances.
