Madam, - The takeover of Manchester United by Malcolm Glazer has warranted a great deal of media space in this country. Many Irish "fans" of Manchester United claim that a foreigner's reign over the club can only spell gloom and doom.
I understand the club's fears, but why can't the media and football "fans" of this country realise they have already fallen into a Glazer trap of sorts? The remedy is simple: stop pouring money into foreign football clubs.
Forget Malcolm Glazer. Go out and support your local club, and then maybe we can talk of an Irish football league, supported by Irish money and Irish fans, generating a national team we can be proud of. - Yours, etc,
STEPHEN DALY, Wolseley Street, Dublin 8.
