Keith Harris, who claims to have a group of investors ready to buy Manchester United, has called on the club's fans to force current owners, the Glazer family, into selling.

Harris says he has a British-based group of investors, who are ready to buy United - if the Glazers make the club available.

United's supporters have always been against the Glazers' ownership of the club, but most recently have stepped up their campaign against them - notably ditching the club's red and white colours in favour of green and gold.

But Harris wants more, insisting fans should boycott matches.

"Turning up to games 10 minutes late and things like that just doesn't do the job," Harris said.

"The green and gold protest is fabulous, a symbolic and significant message to the owners. It is like the white handkerchiefs in Spain. But that won't force the Glazers to sell to us.

"However, if enough people - and I am talking about thousands - stop turning up to matches and do not renew their tickets, then that does it. The supporters have to hurt the Glazers in their pockets.

"They have to be prepared to take the pain of not watching their club in order to achieve a long-term gain. Supporters have to be galvanised to say, 'We will not come. We will not buy programmes and merchandise'.

"It's a big ask, it's a risk, but that is what must happen. The Glazers are thick-skinned and seem impervious to protest. They will not be impervious to enormous drops in their revenue.

"I would not talk about this if I didn't have full confidence in our ability to raise the money to do this. I never talk publicly unless I have confidence. Getting the money together is the easy bit.

"But we can't make an offer until the Glazers are placed in a position where they are forced to consider it."


probably gonna get some stick for posting this but, i agree with it even if i dont like it! the glazers need to be shown!!!

i doub it will ever happen either as like ppl have already said if ppl ont renew there tickets there are hundreds of thousands that will take them over most of which want them for status symbols rather than being fans of the club!!!

Out of all the campaigns going on at the moment for the removal of the Glazers, only one truly stands out.

They all have their effect, don't get me wrong, but this one has more appeal above all the others and in my honest opinion, it will far outlast all the others as well.

The one I speak of is, the "Love United Hate Glazers" sticker campaign that has been going on for a while now. It has a romantic side that shines far above the others.

It's about a downtrodden people who will not give up their fight.

These sort of people fight against tyranny the world over. Their unrelenting sense of humour is priceless in any battle; it's the let's see where we can put a sticker for a laugh bunch are brilliant.

They make us think. They make us marvel at what they will do for their beliefs but most of all, they make us smile. These guys really are the heroes.

I can imagine this great group of people pissing themselves laughing as they go out on night raids, something even the SAS would be proud of.

To me, they are the best.

They are unthreatening.

They are peaceful and yet they have a romantic aura about them, like a modern day French Resistance, struggling against an invading force. They will not give up because now they have set the benchmark for themselves and others.

It's a challenge and that must be beaten.

So lookout where you walk around the world. When you see one of those familiar stickers, first think, why it is there?

Then, also have a smile when you see it because believe you me, someone did putting it there.

Leonardo has sensationally offered his resignation to AC Milan's board.



Defeat in the Champions League at home to Manchester United has sparked speculation that Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi is unhappy with the Brazilian.

“Our agreement was very clear,” insisted Leonardo. “The plans were laid down and I have no problems. If the President wants, I will step aside. All I need is the word.

“I have been here for 13 years in one role or another, so I’d have no problem terminating the contract. I would never allow this club to pay for two Coaches at once.

“In order to keep going forward, we need the most important thing: calm. For now I am focusing only on the squad.

“I remain relaxed, although I know these rumours cannot do the team any good. It’s not harming them either, as it’s a mature group of players, but I’d prefer to avoid this sort of thing.”

Edwin van der Sar has confirmed he has decided to sign a new contract at Manchester United to extend his playing career into his 40s.

The veteran Dutch goalkeeper's current deal expires at the end of the season and he has been offered a 12-month extension by the Premier League champions.

Van der Sar has been mulling over his future at Old Trafford following suggestions he would head into retirement in the summer.

However, the 39-year-old has revealed that he is confident he is capable of maintaining his form for another season and is ready to sign fresh terms.

Quoted in the News of the World, he said: "I would like to keep on playing so I have decided to sign another contract.

"The club want me to stay and I'm happy here. My fitness is good and I feel I can carry on playing for United."

The former Ajax and Juventus keeper has endured a stop-start season for United, missing the opening weeks of the campaign with a finger injury.

He was then sidelined by a knee problem before being allowed to return to the Netherlands on compassionate leave following his wife's suspected brain haemorrhage.

"It's been a hard time for all the family and when something like this happens it's a tough situation," he said.

"Luckily I was back in Holland when it happened because I was injured and it meant that I could be with her in hospital.

"It's been a difficult period, but I'm happy things are improving at home."

"I would like to travel to South Africa with nothing on my mind.

"Where would I move? Well based on my playing style (and) lifestyle wishes I wouldn't have any problems adapting to life in Spain.

"Real Madrid - it is by far the biggest club in the world and anybody would love to play in the white shirt.

"But also playing for AC Milan and Manchester United would be dreams come true."

Kjaer wants Palermo stay
Defender has no intention of fighting for the first-team

Reported Premier League target Simon Kjaer has further rebuffed claims he could be moving to England by saying he is happy to stay at Palermo.

The Danish centre-back is said to have caught the eye of several European clubs, in particular three of the Premier League's 'top four' with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool believed to be tracking the progress of the 20-year-old.

However Kjaer has snubbed a future move away from the Rosanero, despite fellow Serie A club Juventus also showing an interest, saying he is happy to stay put and does not consider himself a "fourth or fifth choice" player.

"Manchester United and Juventus? I'm flattered but I love Palermo," he told Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport.

"Here I'm fine, I like the city, the people, the way in which we live.

"I live in Mondello, the sea is wonderful, my girlfriend would not move from here.

"Also I have no intention of going to a team that consider me the fourth or fifth choice."
