What's this bollocks?

Constitutional Affairs Minister Harriet Harman said the government had urged Mr Glazer to have talks with fans, the Football Association and the club in order to ensure there was "constructive involvement".

She told BBC One's Question Time: "Manchester United is very important to English football and the government is keeping a very close eye on the situation.

"The fans are very worried and obviously there is concern that ticket prices will go up and that there won't be investment in the players."

It's only important to Man Utd fans - the rest of us don't give a f**k what happens to them. And what the f**k has it got to do with the Government, who only give a s**t about sport at election time or when and England/English/British team wins something.
