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."

Players like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, and the iconic Class of '92 brought glory and prestige to Old Trafford. The footballing philosophy, the relentless pursuit of excellence, and the unyielding spirit of the team were unmatched. The Glazer Takeover In 2005, the landscape of Manchester United changed dramatically with the takeover by the Glazer family. The acquisition was controversial, primarily because it saddled the club with a significant amount of debt.
