United fans to step up Glazer fight ‘for the good of football’

MANCHESTER United supporters vowed yesterday to step up their resistance to the takeover of the club by American sports entrepreneur Malcolm Glazer.

Leading members of United's 'Not For Sale' coalition urged a packed public meeting at the Apollo Theatre in Ardwick not to give in despite Glazer holding 76% of the club enough for private ownership.

The coalition made up of members of the Independent Manchester United Supporters Association, Shareholders United and the three main club fanzines will set up working groups to target business partners of both United and Glazer, and lobby politicians and football authorities for a change in the law.
