With the Premier League allowing individual clubs to decide whether to put up a to the former Prime Minister, United have opted for not to ask followers at Old Trafford to cover respects through a minuteas stop. Although the team have not provided a basis for your choice, the danger of the silence being disrupted by supporters is likely to have been central to the transfer, as is just a determination to separate activity from politics. Plans by Mrs Thatcher to implement an card system for football fans in the late-1980s demonstrated hugely divisive and controversial, leading to a groundswell of animosity towards the former Conservative party leader. Lately, Liverpool fans have already been described with anti-Thatcher banners, with derogatory chants also broadcast. And with Thatcher seen negatively in working-class towns and cities in northern England, Unitedas decision to not keep a minuteas stop is likely to avoid that opposition being broadcast all through any honor.
