Man Utd fans ask Ferguson to quit

A member of the Independent Manchester United Supporters' Association has told Sir Alex Ferguson to stand down as manager of the club in protest to the way the Glazer family are running Man Utd at a huge debt.

"This is not intended as an Alex Ferguson rant," Johnny Flacks, head of the Independent Manchester United Supporters' Association, told the Guardian. "But he claims to be a socialist, a former shop steward and a man of the people, so he must be horrified by what is going on.

"It would work only if thousands of people sent a copy of this letter to Ferguson letting him know that our fear, if the Glazers stay in control, is that his legacy is going to be destroyed. We wouldn't want that and I don't think he would either."
