ESPNSoccernet.comreports that Sepp Blatter, FIFA President has voice support of the efforts by United fans to thwart Malcom Glazier's takeover bid of the red end of Manchester. While I share a common apprehension about the real intentions of Glazier, I feel nothing but disgust towards Blatter. For someone who has time and again demonstrated bias and a willingness to intervene to get his way, it is easy enough to stand by the sidelines and claim the higher ground. But support of the same fans who have taken their protestations to the brink of legalities smacks a strong hint of irresponsibility of the part of the FIFA President!
Maybe it's because he has nothing to gain from this transaction. Maybe it's because Yankee intervention tends to lead to Yankee domination and surely Blatter can't tolerate good old fashioned capitalistic competition? Why take the higher road when you can take the whole road, as you usually do? Sadly Mr Blatter... nobody is fooled this time!

I must admit that FIFA president Blatter is not the a saint but I applaud him for the stand against scum like Glazier. He cares not for the traditions of a club like Manchester United. If he succeeds in his takeover he will destroy the club.
