About this deal
Two days later, Gill was confronted by two supporters after a question-and-answer session at Birmingham University, where he was reminded of his 'overly aggressive' and 'unmanageable' descriptions of the proposed takeover by the Glazers.
Players were banned from discussing the campaign, MUTV were forbidden from referring to it and a supporter was ejected from Live at the Red Cafe for refusing to remove a green and gold scarf. On Wednesday, green and gold scarves were twirling like helicopter propellers during the home defeat to Burnley. In retrospect, United won the FA Youth Cup the following season with their most exciting academy side since the Class of '92 and a 16-year-old Paul Pogba had just joined from Le Havre.Yet Ferguson appeased the majority of supporters with three Premier League titles, the European Cup and two League Cups in the first four seasons under Glazer ownership. They are the original colours of Manchester United and the fans wear them because they love this club. In 2018, Berbatov claimed he told his agent, 'f--- off, we're going to Man United' upon learning of City's new riches.
His hostile dispute with majority shareholders JP McManus and John Magnier over the racehorse Rock of Gibraltar eventually led to McManus and Magnier selling their 28. The 5-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, the 1-1 draw with Villa and routine 3-0 defeat of West Ham in February were not televised and the humdinger of a win in Milan, as well as a limp loss at Everton, barely mentioned or broadcast the anti-Glazer militants in the unseen away ends. Paul Scholes, on his drive out of the players' car park after the Hull match, stopped to ask a fanzine seller what the green and gold was all about.Chelsea pipped United to the league that day and supporters protested outside Old Trafford before, during and after the 4-0 thrashing of Stoke.
