Sir Alex Backs The Glazers...Again!!

So what does the fact that Sir Alex has again publicly backed the Glazer family and their ownership of Manchester United really mean? Well I don't think it means anything to be honest. Love them or hate them the Glazers own Manchester United and Sir Alex is their employee. No ordinary employee admittedly but do you really expect to hear any negative comments? Sir Alex Ferguson is the most successful Manchester United manager in history, he is simply towing the corporate line and in my opinion, if he is happy, I am happy. I like many sincerely hope that Sir Alex is at the helm of Manchester United for many years to come and I am also hopeful that the Glazers do sell up to The Red Knights consortium but don't think for a second that that will be the end of any controversy at the worlds most premier club. OK for sure it would definitely bring some harmony to the club and would mean that the club would be run like Barcelona, by fans, but something will inevitably go wrong at some point. A key signing wont happen or the ticket prices will go up and then it will be back to normal. Maybe the biggest problem with the Glazer family is the obscene amount of debt that they have placed our beloved club into but that's the way business works. If it all went pear-shaped tomorrow there would be a plethora of ably financed suiters ready to take the controls of Manchester United so wave your yellow & gold as I do and wish for a better ran Manchester United but lets remember what Sir Alex has done for this club and how high he regards it current and future success and lets not worry!! If, as its been well predicted, Sir Alex leaves the club within the next year or two and no change of ownership occurs then I'll be worried.
