MPs Bid To Make Sir Alex Ferguson A Lord

Two MPs from the Labour Party, who are both from Manchester, have tabled a motion in commons calling for Sir Alex Ferguson to be awarded a peerage.

Graham Stringer and Tony Lloyd argue that football should be represented in the House of Lords because of its "economic, social, cultural" importance. And Ferguson, who was knighted in 1999 has just led Manchester United to a 12th Premier League title and a record 19 league title would appear to be the perfect person for such a role.

Here's the Motion in full.

"That this House recognises the economic, social, cultural and sporting importance of football to the United Kingdom; is therefore surprised at the paucity of representatives from the world of football in the Upper House; further notes that Sir Alex Ferguson, as the manager of Aberdeen and Manchester United, is the most successful manager in the history of British football; and calls for him to be recommended for appointment to the House of Lords."

Manchester United To Sell Off Stake In Club

Manchester United is to sell off a significant stake in the club in Singapore to partly pay off its gross debts of £515m, the BBC has learnt. BBC sports editor David Bond says it is understood the club has now lodged a listing application with the Singapore Stock Exchange. Our correspondent says it could raise between £400m and £600m for the club. It is understood the club wants to complete the listing by the end of the year. The owners, the Glazer family, removed the Old Trafford club from the London stock market following their successful take over of the Old Trafford club in 2005. A partial share sale, of between 25% and 30%, would also mean that no outside person could take control of the club.
