I've moved this to a better title as the Malcolm Glazer Takeover could be about him taking over anything. Do we think this needs its own article? We need to make sure it is scrupulously neutral to stick to Wikipedia policy. Secretlondon 12:27, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge proposal
Malcolm Glazer#Manchester United is the same length as this article, yet more up to date. Merging and redirecting seems to be the obvious course of action. – Smyth\talk 3 July 2005 21:41 (UTC)
Done. – Smyth\talk 4 July 2005 22:29 (UTC)
[edit] I suggest that this should be moved
...to "Glazer family takeover of Manchester United". MG played little public role in the takeover (except as a tabloid bogeyman), and it is his children (who are middle-aged) who have been to the fore so far as one can tell. I don't know about the internal politics of the family, but it appears he was well on the way to handing over at least day to day control of the family interests when the takeover happened, and the role of the wider family should be referenced in the title.

- First let's have the information to which you are referring put into this article, and then move it, with a redirect from here, and fixing the double redirects via 'what links here':

- ...which as you can see is more than just a simple change of name. If you add the info, I'll do half the redirects. Deal? User:Pedant 00:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Man U fans
There should be a lot more information on how enraged the fans of Manchester United were. Things like them wearing black to go to matches to represent the death of their beloved club. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard LVP Real (talk • contribs) 14:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
