David Gill's House Vandalised The home of Manchester United chief executive David Gill has been daubed with graffiti by vandals.

Police are investigating an attack on the house of Manchester United chief executive David Gill, whose £700,000 property was daubed with graffiti branding him a 'Judas' and calling for the removal of United's owners, the Glazer family.

The Daily Telegraph reports that disgruntled United supporters are suspected of embarking on a fresh campaign highlighting their opposition to the ownership of the club by the Glazers some three years after they bought United in a £800 million deal.
Gill returned to his home in the Cheshire village of Bowdon on Friday morning to find the slogans 'Judas Gill' and 'Glazers Out' painted in the outside walls.

Gill had recently backed the way the Glazers were running United, and this could have 'provoked' the vandalism.

When he announced United's record financial results last week, Gill had said: "We have the right structure. The owners have let us get on with it. There will always be people who won't accept them, even if we were to win three European Cups on the bounce."

The attack on Gill's property comes after the club thought opposition to the Glazer takeover had dwindled if not disappeared in the wake of United's Premier League title triumph last season and their impressive defence of their crown in the current campaign.

But while this incident will raise concerns, neither United nor the police said they planned to step up security around other directors or officials.

A spokeswoman for Manchester Police confirmed: "At 7.45am on Friday, 18 January, 2008, police were informed of criminal damage at a house on St Mary's Road in Bowdon.

"Officers discovered offensive graffiti had been painted on a wall of the house. Inquiries are under way."
