Man Utd chief Gill: Ferguson happy wth Glazer transfer backing
Manchester United chief David Gill insists manager Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the support he receives from the Glazer family.
Gill said there were bound to be dissenters among United's large fanbase but that manager Ferguson was very comfortable with the ownership situation.
He said: "We have 330m followers around the world, that's a key strength and within that it's highly likely you will have some dissenters and some people who are not happy with what's going on and would like to change it."
He also insisted the £80m transfer fee from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo was still available for Ferguson to spend on top players.
"Without doubt," he said. "We are looking at players all the time, the money from Ronaldo is sitting there in the bank account, we have been clear on that.
"But Alex has been very clear he is not going out to chase and overpay for a player just because everyone else thinks we should. He's a Scot, he wants value for money.
"We have spent a lot of money on Chris Smalling [from Fulham] and that's the sort of player we want to bring in - a young player who we feel will develop asa player and hopefully give us service for many many years to come."

David Gill do you belive that 330 million United fans are dumb. Big deal if the club signed Chris Smalling? Is he one off the hottest young talents in the world.. I ain' t heard the football world talking about him! Whatever you and your best pal Saf say, most of us United fans laugh cos we belive you paid well over the top for Smalling. That money could have been better spent this summer.. Finally if United are looking for young talent with great long futures to be at OT? Why not look and invest in the likes off Angel di Maria, Sergio Ageuro, David Silva and Sergio Canales etc. These guys are expensive, but United will make twice as much if we decided to sell or if the player wanted to return to Spain. Manchester United FC and their great sporters were promised the likes off Kaka, Messi (if available) but after selling the world's best player CR 7, and the world's best team player Carlos Tevez? who do we get Valencia ( who is doing well- goodluck to him) Obersten and Michael Owen who doesn't complete a full game. NO Kaka, NO Messi, NO Villa, NO Silva, NO Ribery, NO Aguero NO di Maria NO Xavi NO Iniesta NO Eto'o! Most of all who were available for the right price as was Cristiano Ronaldo (80m! If you can reiceive 80m for a player why can't you spend big to replace him and Tevez? If we had the EPL title would have been ours by mid April! Mr Gill if you still LOVE the glazers plz go have an affair with one off them and run off to America leaving United glazer and Gill free!
***** idiot, "Agger if u leave", do u ive only for United stories? Look at your own broke ass club, at least we have a manager who can win us trophies unlike that fat spanish wanker and his terrible tactics. Bloody rat munching, bin dipping SCUM!
Sir Alex Fuckerson: we have 80m from Ronaldo but im thankful to have 8m to spend. thank god da Glazerssssss
