Anti-Glazer movement wins backing of MP
The influential Shareholders United (SU) group has been backed by Manchester MP Terry Lloyd, an SU patron and chair of the parliamentary Manchester United Group. Mr Lloyd tabled a motion in parliament claiming the bid was “against the interests of those supporters and football.” Shareholders United vice- chairman Oliver Houston confirmed his group would attempt to take their fight against Mr Glazer to the highest offices in the land.
Houston said: “We will fight this battle in parliament, on the stock exchange and through the courts if we have to. There is so much at stake and we will do everything we can to defend our club.”
