Reds chief Gardner set to resign

MANCHESTER United's chairman Sir Roy Gardner today announced his
impending resignation from the board - and warned that Malcolm Glazer
has failed to provide any assurances over future debt, ticket prices,
player transfers and non-interference with team selection.

也提出警告 G$azer 沒有提供任何未來債務，球票價格，球員轉會的保障等等～ ><
In a letter to shareholders, Gardner recommends accepting the offer
for their shares from Glazer - but only on financial grounds.
The chairman also confirms he and fellow non-executive directors Ian
Much and Jim O'Neill are "expected to resign from the board shortly".
But it will be the lack of legally-binding assurances that will
concern United fans - control of the club had already passed to
the Glazer family whether or not the remaining shareholders accept
the 300p per share offer from the American tycoon's Red Football Group.
Gardner's letter says: "The board was aware that an acquisition of
Manchester United by Red would be likely to be opposed by some
Manchester United shareholders and fans concerned about the future
running of the football club.
"During its discussions with Red, the board sought a range of
legally-binding protections for the football club, its fans and
any minority shareholders, including in relation to future levels
of net debt, new player investment and transfers, team selection,
Old Trafford, ticket prices and certain minority protections.
"As at the date of this document, no such protections or assurances
have been forthcoming."
That means Glazer has failed to offer any assurances to the board
about the future of Old Trafford, the size of Sir Alex Ferguson's
transfer budget, whether any players will be sold, the possibility
of soaring ticket prices and whether United will be lumbered with
even more debt than the ￡570million he has taken on to buy the club.
Gardner confirmed almost two million shares owned by board members -
0.72% of the total - would now be sold to Glazer.
He added: "The board believes that there are risks in remaining as a
minority shareholder in Manchester United and that the price offered
by Red today may not be realisable in the future.
"In light of these risks, the board has now unanimously concluded
that, unless Manchester United shareholders have strong non-financial
reasons for wishing to stay invested in the company, they should accept
the offer, as the board intends to do in respect of its own beneficial
holdings."
Shareholders have until 3pm on June 13 to accept the offer but United
fans' groups, horrified at the scale of debt and a predicted sharp
rise in admission prices, have continued to mobilise against the
Glazer family.
