David Gill security alert: Anti-Glazer fans turn up the heat on United chief
Manchester United supporters angry at the ownership regime of the Glazer family have brought their 'green and gold' protest to the driveway of Old Trafford chief executive David Gill.[LNB]Security has been stepped up at the directors' entrance at Old Trafford on match-days and it is understood that a member of the security firm that looks after United's stadium spent time outside Gill's house on Wednesday as a consequence of the supporters' protest.[LNB]United fans have been wearing green and gold scarves and shirts at recent games as a symbol of their dissatisfaction with the Glazers' debt-ridden stewardship. The colours are a throwback to the strip worn by United's formative club, Newton Heath.[LNB] The message goes home: The banner protesting supporters held up outside David Gill's house[LNB]And on Tuesday, as United were in Milan preparing for their Champions League game, a group of fans carried a green and gold banner to Gill's home in Cheshire to protest against what they see as Gill's compliance with the Glazers.[LNB]Out of context: Gill[LNB]The slogan reads 'Debt is the Road to Ruin' and is a reference to a quote from Gill while he was initially opposing the Glazers' proposed takeover in 2004.[LNB]The United chief executive has subsequently claimed it was taken out of context and he recently gave Radio 5 Live an interview on Sportsweek when he tried to explain the way the Glazers work with United and defended their record.[LNB]Gill was also involved in a heated confrontation with a fan at Birmingham University last week. The row flared when Gill was approached after a question-and-answer session about football finances and was asked to explain comments six years ago.[LNB]It seems he will continue to come under pressure as the protest gathers pace ahead of the Carling Cup final on Sunday week when the majority of United fans are expected to wear green and gold.[LNB] The story behind the Manchester United protests: Good old days that unite fansSir Alex Ferguson: All of my Manchester United defenders needed the hairdryer - Jonny Evans got it as he was nearest!Vidic wants to stay at United as he insists there is no bust-up with FergieMANCHESTER UNITED
