Keith Harris, a former Football League chairman and executive chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce, is the latest leading figure in football to call for a boycott of matches at Manchester United while the Glazers are in charge. He reasons that protests of themselves won’t perausde the Glazers to sell, but hitting them in the pocket will. Harris is a United fan who has been involved in several takeovers involving Premier League clubs and he reckons that it would be possible to put together a consortium to buy out the Glazers.
