Not one of us

IF Sir Alex Ferguson ever decides to leave United, perhaps he, along with David Gill, should consider a transfer to politics. They have both acted like politicians.

When Fergie first came to United, one of the most noticeable positives was that he seemed to have time for what fans thought, unlike the “old guard”, who disregarded us.

He even attended supporters’ functions and told stories of his time as socialist shop steward. He was one of the us – or so we thought.

I have defended Fergie from fellow United fans over the last few years, when many thought he was past his best, but now feel very let down by his attack on both FC United fans and the fans who heroically fought off the Murdoch takeover.

I am no FC United fan, but sympathise with the principles of saying we are being taken for mugs and enough is enough.

We will always be grateful for the on-the-field success he brought United, but I feel, sadly, much of what he has achieved has been tarnished by his comments.

Would Sir Matt have criticised his own supporters for caring about who owns the club?
