He continues:
"If the figures that have been talked about in terms of supporters eventually materialise, we will be one of the biggest clubs in the entire non-league structure. That is a proposition which should excite anyone.
"It is certainly not something I am daunted by. There isn't much time until the start of the season, but once we get the playing side organised and get down to business, my aim, purely and simply, is to start winning things.
"It is incredibly exciting to be involved at the birth of a project such as this.
"As a kid I used to play on the pitch used by Newton Heath 100 years ago, so I had no hesitation in accepting when I was offered the job."
Andy Walsh (Member of FC United steering committee):
"We have had fifteen people working on this project night and day for the past fortnight.
"Even at this stage, we are taking a massive leap into the unknown. But I think everyone is aware how serious we are.
"This is not just a reaction to Malcolm Glazer, it is about taking a stand for the vast number of ordinary fans who have been priced out of the game in recent years.
"There are people who object to his involvement and will not go to Old Trafford purely because of that, but there are many others who have become disenfranchised over the last few years, either because they cannot afford to go to games anymore or they can't re-arrange their lives at the drop of a hat because the TV schedules have changed again.
"Hopefully, what we are creating here will allow those people to get involved in the game again."
And if in any doubt about the scale of things this is from the San Diego Times:
MANCHESTER, England – Karl Marginson was hired Wednesday as the manager of FC United of Manchester, the semipro club formed in response to the takeover of Manchester United by American businessman Malcolm Glazer.
Marginson, a 34-year-old former striker for Rotherham and Macclesfield, was recruited for his semipro experience.
"This is not just a reaction to Malcolm Glazer, it is about taking a stand for the vast number of ordinary fans who have been priced out of the game in recent years."
Open tryouts are scheduled for Sunday. On Monday, the team was accepted into the North West Counties Football League – several divisions below the lowest professional Football League division.
Games are expected to be played at Droylsden's 3,000-capacity Butcher's Arms ground. The stadium is close to Bank Street, the first ground of the Newton Heath club, which became Manchester United.
"It is incredibly exciting to be involved at the birth of a project such as this," Marginson said. "As a kid, I used to play on the pitch used by Newton Heath 100 years ago, so I had no hesitation in accepting when I was offered a job."
