Manchester United chief executive David Gill has had his house
attacked by fans angry over his support for the Glazer
family.
Gill returned from a business trip yesterday to find that his
£700,000 detached house in Bowdon had been covered in graffiti. The
slogans 'Judas Gill' and 'Glazers Out' had been daubed on
walls.
The offending words were last night being removed and it is
understood the attack was the result of Gill's comments backing the
owners in the wake of the club's financial results last week.
Despite opposing the Glazers' initial attempts to buy the club,
Gill has since professed himself to be happy with the way the
Americans have handled United.
Last week he said: 'The owners have let us get on with it, only
getting involved in areas where they feel they are able to bring
their expertise, such as in commercial and sponsorship deals.
'There will always be people who won't accept them, even if we were
to win three European Cups on the bounce.'
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson is also thought to be vulnerable because
he has also backed the owners.
