Fans meet to discuss Glazer bid (go back to the homepage) Hundreds of Manchester United supporters are expected to attend a public meeting to discuss Malcolm Glazer's takeover of the club. The fans will meet at a venue in the city centre on Thursday evening to outline their plans to oppose the move. The US businessman now has enough shares in the club to turn it back into a private company. Some supporters' groups have called on fans to wear black to Saturday's FA Cup final against Arsenal in Cardiff. Mr Glazer now owns a 76.16% share of the Premiership football club. He has prepared letters to remaining shareholders setting out his £3 a share offer; if he can get 90% of their stock, owners of the rest can be made to sell. There were angry scenes outside Old Trafford last Thursday when supporters protested against Mr Glazer's takeover plans. |
