Blues chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak is considering whether to make a personal plea to his club's supporters to end their mass description of United counterparts as 'Munichs'. The 1958 air disaster, in which 20 people, including eight United players, lost their lives, is back at the forefront of people's attention after the BBC showed the film 'United' based around the tragedy, on Sunday evening. City legend Colin Bell called the chanting at Ewood Park last Monday "degrading" and the Blues hierarchy are discussing ways of trying to stamp it out. But Ferguson is not sure they can. As the Scot was in Germany on Monday, ahead of United's Champions League win over Schalke, and flew straight to Madrid for Real's stormy encounter with Barcelona, he has not been following the intense debate that accompanied the match between Rovers and City. However, he does feel the matter is triggered by changing attitudes, which he is not convinced anything can be done to alter. "It is a sad reflection on society," he said. "We are in a different society now. "There are a lot of things that appal me in life. "Look at some of the crimes that are committed today. But there is nothing we can do about it."
