United right to snub fans - Gill
Manchester United chief executive David Gill insists the club were right to snub fan groups who were "at war with the owners".
Gill defended the board's decision not to open a dialogue with groups such as the Manchester United Supporters Trust because their primary goal was to oust the Glazer family from Old Trafford.
MUST and other fans groups are angry that some of United's profits are used to service the club's half a billion pound debt.
Gill claims the board took full account of the concerns of supporters, with whom they held three to four meetings each year.
But he said MUST would continue to be excluded "unless they change their objective".
"We are not going to engage in structured dialogue with organisations like that," Gill told a House of Commons Select Committee inquiry into football governance. "I don't think it's appropriate."
