WAKE UP

Shareholders United have also issued a rallying cry to United fans to oppose this latest bid.

United fans must wake up and do something before it is too late," said Shareholders United spokesman Sean Bones.

"This is a disaster waiting to happen. It is nothing more than an opportunistic attempt by Malcolm Glazer to make personal gain from an institution which is loved and respected throughout the world, by someone who has no interest in, or respect for the heritage of the club.

"He risks plunging United into a financial meltdown which would make Leeds look like the equivalent of missing an HP payment on the telly.

"Glazer has shown before that he doesn't care at all about the ordinary fans, who after all are the real long-term stakeholders in their football club."

"It will not be him paying the bills," added Bones. "The fans will be paying over the money that will repay his debt."
