Fortunately, his only injury was a split lip. One of the guests, Tommy Docherty, the former Manchester United manager, restored calm by telling the gatecrashers to leave. Most obeyed but there were still a few stragglers to arrest when police arrived. JP Morgan, which is backing Malcolm Glazer's bid for Man U, declined to comment. However, the bank is so scared about staff safety it has removed its stand from the conference. Fans 1, JP Morgan Nil.
Henry Tapper, what a guy, he would back their bid if he's a Chelsea fan
