Spokesman Oliver Houston said:

“Sir Alex is undoubtedly one of the club's and the company's
best assets. It would be a disgrace if personal score
settling, bullying and dirty tricks were allowed to win the
day. SU has always pursued an agenda of genuine concern
about all aspects of good corporate governance - but what
we've witnessed these last few weeks is simply mud slinging
as part of a blatant and shoddy assassination plot.

“If gamblers and currency speculators - or media moguls and
oil tycoons, for that matter - were renowned as paragons of
virtue it would be less difficult to swallow when the plc's
multi-millionaire shareholders start throwing their weight
around.”
