Our Aims

Lower ticket prices. Top players. Magnificent atmosphere. 'Fortress Old Trafford'.

Is this what you want for your club? We do. Unfortunately however as money continues to drain away from the club to service the debt or line the pockets of private investors these things become harder to attain.

Our 33,000+ strong organisation is grounded on two simple beliefs.

1. That supporters, not absentee investors, are our club's lifeblood. It is our support, our passion, and indeed our funds that propel the club.
    
2. That because we are its lifeblood, the club's priorities should reflect our priorities. We want a rampant United with world-class players winning trophies, not an absentee investor creaming off money to pay his bills.

To this end, we strive for a future in which the loyal supporters of Manchester United FC possess significant ownership in the club. Only by securing a meaningful ownership stake can we ensure -- permanently and irrevocably -- that the priorities are set straight. We aim for the day when the distinction between supporters and owners no longer exists.

This is why we created the Phoenix Fund. Born from the ashes of the fans' shareholdings in the club, the Phoenix Fund is the seed from which supporters' dreams of ownership can grow into a financial reality.

Do we want to run the club? No, of course not. We believe that the club's day-to-day affairs should be professionally managed by qualified individuals who understand the operational side of running the world's greatest club. But we do believe that the priorities should be ours; that the football and the future of the club must come first and never be sacrificed for a parasitic investor.

If your heart beats faster when United surge forward, if being a Red is your badge of pride, if you want YOUR club to be successful on and off the pitch and reflect YOUR priorities, please join us.
