I assume, in the interests of impartial and cutting edge journalism, the MEN will be asking the editor of a City fanzine to write an article on David Gill's conflict of interest arising from his roles as United's CEO, Vice Chairman of the FA, and nominated FA representative on the UEFA executive committee. The more so as both the FA and UEFA are driving through or have driven through "Fair play" rules the sole achievement of which which is to hobble any competition to Manchester United. Then again, maybe not.
STUART - on a serious note, could we have your comments on the above???
Andy Mitten is UWS editor, but he is also a freelance journalist in his own right, writing articles regularly for 442, World Soccer and others.
He is based in Barcelona, has an insight into Barcelona matters, as well as very good contacts throughout European and world football.
You have pre-judged his piece without even reading it. If you took the time, you would find it straightforward and interesting.
If you can tell me a City fanzine editor with Andy's credentials and contacts, who could write an instructive piece on Gill, I'm sure the MEN would consider it

BTH come on down..........would be rude not to mention leveraged debt & Delaware,Cayman Islands with a special mention for david gill 2004 "Debt is the Road to Ruin".
I have written extensively on the Glazer takeover, Gill's hypocrisy, and Fergie's role in the whole sorry affair.
I won the Football Supporters Federation's football writer of the year award for doing so, in 2006.
I wrote dozens of articles on the subject, all of which damaged the paper's relationship with United, and with me.
You all seem to have missed them. Or just plain ignored them, as they don't fit your MUEN agenda.
Try opening your eyes, and looking at it from other angles.
