Sir Alex Ferguson Calls for Unity

Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Fer­guson has warned the Manchester United sup­port­ers he doesn’t want the protest against the club own­ers to affect his play­ers. The Scot has called for unity as he fears the ongo­ing cam­paign against the Glazers could wreck United’s bid for a record break­ing 19th league title. The Glazers were never wel­comed by the fans and came under heavy fire from the protest move­ment last sea­son. Manchester United being the most prom­in­ent global brand in foot­ball, the Glazer fam­ily have always main­tained that the club is not for sale and that they will not be pres­sur­ised into selling.

Even though Sir Alex Fer­guson has always backed the Amer­ic­ans, the long serving Manchester United man­ager has pre­vi­ously defen­ded the sup­port­ers’ every right to protest. As much a world­wide brand as a soc­cer club, Manchester United’s debts have rock­eted since the deeply unpop­u­lar Glazer fam­ily took full con­trol at Old Traf­ford back in 2005. Load­ing Manchester United with the bor­row­ings they made to buy the fam­ous club in the first place, the Flor­idi­ans have no doubt greatly offen­ded the Old Traf­ford faith­ful. Manchester United may be chas­ing a record break­ing 19th league title on the soc­cer pitch, but their fin­an­cial res­ults show the Manchester club are sink­ing deeper and deeper into debt.

Manchester United are the num­ber one foot­ball club in the world on the For­bes Rich List.
