Open letter to Ferguson

Thought it probably deserved its own thread.

Dear Sir Alex,

As lifelong Manchester United fans, we are disappointed and concerned by quotes attributed to you in a recent interview. Many of us are the same fans who protested to denounce Cubic Expression back in 2005. These are the same fans who had previously offered you their unwavering support during your private dispute over Rock of Gibraltar's breeding rights, despite Cubic Expression raising some very pertinent questions. In the spirit of fairness, we would like to invite you to clarify these comments by responding to a brief summary of our concerns:

1. You suggested that ‘the majority of real fans will look at it [Glazer ownership] and see that it’s not affecting the team’. Can you clarify what constitutes a real fan?

2. With thousands of fans leaving the club in protest over the Glazer regime, do you consider these time-served reds to be less than real fans?

3. Have you personally met with any of the dissenters to determine how deep their commitment and affection for United may be?

4. What are your thoughts on an atmosphere which gets markedly worse each season as more and more local, traditional fans are marginalised and alienated from the club?

5. You are also quoted in the interview as claiming ‘I’m absolutely comfortable with the Glazers situation. They’ve been great’. You are clearly aware of the opposition from the United fan base - does that not make you uncomfortable in any way?

6. What, in your view, would constitute poor owners?

7. You have repeatedly claimed to have been backed financially whenever you have requested transfer funds. Is this your only consideration when determining what represents great ownership?

8. You continued the interview by saying that, ‘the salaries, agent fees – is just getting ridiculous now’. Whilst we agree in tone, it does represent a sea change in attitude from pre Glazer transfers. Agent fees in both the Ferdinand and Rooney transfers were criticised at the time for being excessive, so why does the club now refuse to meet market conditions for the top players?

9. Do you believe Jorge Mendes’s £2.6m cut of the Bébé transfer, a full 35% of the total fee paid, represented good value?

10. With more than £250k leaving the club each day to service the Glazer debt, totalling over £500m since the takeover, is it so reprehensible for us to question your constant references to ‘value’?

Given your personal background and previous support for fan involvement we hope you take the trouble to respond to our deep concerns about both the club’s situation and the wording of the interview quoted.

Signed
Concerned Manchester United Fans

can't wait to hear fergie's response

"open letters" are without exception, a bag of cringe

Open letters.

How £#%&!ing scouse.

I think we all know exactly what response anything of this nature will be met with.

next time someone wants to write a letter, ask for help. that is pretty lame.

I actually like the letter, only problem is that it should be read to him in his family home, whilst duct taped to his Parker Knoll leather armchair.

SAF: 'not reading all that'

Agreed, looks like something that would be posted on RAWK.

:shakehead: Open Letters ffs. Like Froggie will give a £#%&!.

All those questions could be answered by asking one

Why haven't we signed a midfielder?

so so gay

Never really had read much about the Bebe transfer until now...

Cant believe we signed someone that SAF had never seen play. Bebes agent Jorge Mendes is also the agent for Queiroz. Mendes tells Queiroz to have a word with SAF to make him sign Bebe which earns him 3.6 million euro, perhaps sharing some of that with Queiroz for his trouble..

SAF and United end up with a shite Bebe
Mendes and Queiroz make over 3 million :shakehead:

do you know anything about our wait and see policy?

Some funny £#%&!ers on facebook today talking about how we should get the G&G campaign going again.

Re G&G

I was thinking that myself,I realise I'm a long ways away and often it's difficult to get a handle on what's going on.

What would be so wrong in getting it going again?

I'm not allowed to say otherwise muffers and bunks will tell me off.

fair enough,I'll wait for the "top red" verdict to be published.
In the meantime,I'm not buying a £#%&!ing Chevy.
