Sir Alex Ferguson Calls for Unity
August 26, 2010 by Chris Marker · 1 Comment
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.
