Glazer 'wants Ferguson to remain'
Sir Alex Ferguson's job as Manchester United boss is not under threat
despite Malcolm Glazer moving closer to buying the club, according to
reports.
Glazer now has a 70% share in the club but the US tycoon wants
Ferguson to stay on according to the Daily Express' chief football writer
Harry Harris.
"Ferguson will be offered a long-term contract as part of a five-year
plan," Harris told BBC Radio Five Live.
"In that plan, he will be given �100m for new players."
Ferguson, who has been at the Old Trafford helm for more than 18
years, will begin a one-year rolling contract this summer.
David Gill will be kept in place as they (the Glazers) have
complete confidence in the management team
Harry Harris, of the Daily Express
However, Glazer is reported to be keen for the Scottish manager to
oversee football affairs during what is set to be a difficult period of
transition off the field.
The American tycoon is certain to shake-up the boardroom casting
uncertainty over the future of chief executive David Gill.
Gill, who took over from Peter Kenyon in September 2003, recently
referred to Glazer's takeover plan as "potentially damaging."
But Harris insisted that Gill's position would also be safe for now.
"David Gill will be kept in place as they (the Glazers) have complete
confidence in the management team," Harris said.
"But the non-executive directors will be sacked while Joel and Avi
Glazer will join the board."
The Guardian newspaper also reports Gill is expected to continue in
the same position at Old Trafford.
Although, Malcolm Glazer's son Joel is expected to have a "active"
role once he takes his place among the club's directors.
"The Glazers have a very high regard of David Gill," an advisor to the
Glazers told The Guardian.
"They hope and expect that Gill will continue to do the job he has
been doing.
"One of the reasons they want to buy Manchester United is that it is
the best managed football club in England."
