The Telegraph:
Manchester United fans protesting about Malcolm Glazer's takeover stormed a UEFA meeting yesterday and demanded that European football's governing body investigate the club's new American owners.
UEFA officials had just wound up a routine press conference, at the home of rivals Manchester City, when chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson was suddenly surrounded by 30 angry fans who called on UEFA to bar the Glazer family from taking control and to stop the club from spiralling into debt.
Security officials seemed powerless to prevent what appeared to be a planned protest by members of both Shareholders United and the Independent Manchester United Supporters Association.
"We want UEFA to do something now, not next year, about the death of the club," said Nick Clay, a United fan for 30 years. "What's bad for Manchester United is bad for football." Ian Stirling, a Shareholders United member, added: "The fans are being ignored and UEFA should be looking after them [and] at indebted clubs competing in their tournaments."
Olsson, clearly taken aback by the stunt, said: "We can voice an opinion, but we have no legal right to intervene. We do have strict rules on clubs in serious debt, but only if these debts are to other clubs or to players. Only then might a club not get a license to compete."
