[18] Becks on Ruud
---------------------------------
Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:
"Ruud is a great friend of mine. He's one of the nicest men you could ever come
across. He's polite, has a great family and scores amazing goals and when
he's on a roll, no one can stop him. He is a true 25-goals-a-season striker
who's proved what he can do on the world stage. You always want great players
to play in the same team as you. We had a great relationship at Manchester
United. I used to love playing with Ruud and setting up his goals."

[17] NOTW on dodgy transfers
---------------------------------
Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:
'ENGLISH football is bracing itself for its own corruption scandal after
Premiership investigators confirmed they have evidence of illicit transfers
involving several top-flight clubs.

The stark news will send shock waves through the domestic game less than 48
hours after Italy's match-fixing scandal saw leading Serie A sides Juventus,
Fiorentina, Lazio and AC Milan severely punished.

Here, a team of specialist bung-busters headed by former Met Police chief
Lord Stevens has highlighted a series of highly-questionable Premier League
transfers.

Now they want the green light to go further and grill the clubs, players and
agents involved in those "dodgy deals" in a bid to bring them to justice.

And the investigators will enjoy unprecedented powers in their search for the
truth.

They will be able to demand home, office and mobile phone records, and personal
bank accounts in an effort to find out who paid and who received the money
which allegedly "went missing" in the deals.

That could then lead to a number of high-profile cases being brought against
some of the game's biggest clubs and biggest names a shameful episode to
rival the match-fixing sensation in Italy.

Nothing will happen for a couple of months because Lord Stevens' team will not
officially present their interim report to the Premier League until September.

But inside sources say the report will provide enough evidence to convince the
Premier League there are serious causes for concern in several high-profile
moves.

It will also stress the bung-busters are keen to zero in on the biggest cases
in a bid to bring charges against anyone responsible for flouting the
Premiership's strict rules on transfers by making illegal payments.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore sanctioned the on-going
inquiry into all transfers made since January 2004.

Scudamore looks sure to agree, despite possible resistance and reluctance from
club chairmen who may be concerned about the consequences for their teams.

An insider said: "What is the point of setting up an inquiry into allegations
of illegal payments and illicit transfers if you don't follow the evidence and
go all the way with it?

"Lord Stevens' team are sure to carry on this investigation, and a lot of
people should be very uneasy about that."

A Premiership spokesman said: "We will receive Lord Stevens' initial report in
September and examine it carefully.

"It was always going to be the case the inquiry would identify transfers they
would like to look at in more detail."

Scudamore announced the inquiry into alleged transfer irregularities in March,
shortly after News of the World published comments by then England boss Sven
Goran Eriksson about corruption in the Premier League.

Eriksson claimed the Premiership had a "bungs" culture and he knew of three
clubs where illegal payments were paid, including to a boss.'

SIR ALEX FERGUSON has sensationally revealed how he plans to raid the Italian
transfer market in the wake of the match-fixing scandal.

He insists he and Manchester United chief executive David Gill are working
through a list of possible targets, with World Cup winners Fabio Cannavaro and
Luca Toni top of the pile.

Former Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira, defender Lillian Thuram and forwards
David Trezeguet and Pavel Nedved are all being considered for 12-month loan
deals.

[14] Observer on the Glazer debt
---------------------------------
Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:
Another summer of discontent is brewing at Manchester United. As usual, the
football world is alive with transfer speculation, and not much of it is good
for the demanding fans of Britain's biggest club. Rumours of star midfielder
Cristiano Ronaldo's imminent departure are jangling the nerves of the Old
Trafford faithful. Equally worrying, though, are reports about United's
uncertain financial future. Last week it emerged that the Glazer family,
United's American owners, are in talks to borrow up to £500m against the value
of future ticket receipts to pay off the debts they acquired during their
controversial £800m purchase of the club just over a year ago.

Analysts doubt that United can be aiming to raise quite as much as £500m from
ticket revenues alone, calling such a figure 'unrealistic'. Such a sum, after
all, would be twice as much as Arsenal has just raised by mortgaging its own
future gate receipts to finance the new Emirates Stadium. But there is no doubt
that the Glazers, led by Joel Glazer and advised by JP Morgan, want to
reorganise their huge pile of debts.
'A refinancing of some sort is definitely being considered, although nothing
has been finalised,' a source close to the Glazers said. 'But a securitisation
might be considered. Every club is probably wondering whether they should
emulate the Arsenal model. The market environment is good and there are
increased revenue prospects for Manchester United. The risk profile [of the
club] has changed quite a bit since the Glazer family took over.'

It is certainly true that things are looking up for United's business. The
recent auction of Premiership broadcasting rights means that domestic TV income
will soon earn the club £14m a year more than was anticipated at the time of
the Glazer buyout. Vodafone's decision to cut short its shirt sponsorship
contract turned out to be a blessing in disguise: US insurer AIG has stepped in
with a larger, £14m-a-year, deal. And an expansion of Old Trafford could earn
United an extra £10m a year.

Yet talk of refinancing isn't likely to soothe the anxious hearts of ordinary
United supporters - and their nervousness is understandable. In the football
world, securitisations, which commit clubs to paying off creditors for up to 25
years, in exchange for a large upfront payment, have a bad name.

Financiers have generally been upbeat about the Arsenal deal, which sees the
north London club move out of its cramped Highbury headquarters into a
60,000-seat arena with plenty of money-spinning corporate boxes. But etched in
fans' memories is the trauma of Leeds United, which borrowed heavily against
projected future earnings, then narrowly avoided bankruptcy and the loss of its
stadium when those earnings failed to materialise.

That kind of blow-up, at least, shouldn't happen at Old Trafford. Whereas Leeds
fatally splurged its borrowings on star players, the Glazers' plan is almost
certain to pay off existing debts (charged at punitive rates of interest) with
new, cheaper ones. The new debt will also be longer-term, enabling United to
spread repayments and making 'disasters' such as a temporary failure to qualify
for the lucrative European Champions League more manageable.

Financially, securitisation seems a prudent course. But it is unlikely to
receive much support from the fans, who were used to United being debt-free
before the highly leveraged Glazer buyout.

In fact, a securitisation only underlines what has always rankled most among
many United supporters: that the new owner is taking money out of 'their' club,
rather than putting it in; and using that money to pay for the very takeover
that they so bitterly opposed.

It also means that there could be less cash available to spend on players.
'This deal may or may not help the Glazers out of a debt hole,' says Oliver
Houston of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust. 'But if most of the club's
income is going to the banks and bondholders, how can it be good for the club
and its attempts to keep up with the big clubs in England and Europe?'

Houston also stresses the risks inherent in long-term debt, and says that
United could end up paying more in total. Yet it certainly behoves the Glazers
to rid themselves of at least some of their more expensive obligations. The
family owes £265m to JP Morgan, secured against the club's assets, and - most
pressing of all - £275m to three US hedge funds, at a short-term rate of up to
20 per cent.

How cleanly United could replace this debt with something cheaper depends on
the detail of its current covenants. It could, for instance, face early
redemption penalties. And new lenders, mindful of any existing charges on
United's assets or revenue streams, might not be willing to extend the very
best interest rates to the club. United might find it difficult, for example,
to match the 5.28% rate enjoyed by the asset-backed bonds that Arsenal is
releasing on to the market.

On the other hand, the Glazers might be able to negotiate with financial
institutions to secure a deal that trumps Arsenal's, says Stephen Schechter, an
investment banker who specialises in football securitisations. Schechter, who
has masterminded deals for Southampton and Newcastle United among others,
suggests, as an example, that some investors might waive some of their
insurance demands in Manchester United's case and even buy an 'unwrapped' bond
issue.

It all depends, he says, on what exactly is being mortgaged. Fixed income
streams such as sponsorship and TV money might actually get a better credit
rating - and a lower interest rate - than ticket receipts. 'There are many
variables to consider when it comes to future matchday earnings,' Schechter
says. 'A lot can happen in 25 years. For instance, there's talk that the
Premiership might be cut from 20 to 18 teams in the future. That would take
150,000 seats out of the equation directly.'

Although Old Trafford's matchday revenues outstrip those of other clubs, with
games nearly always sold out, dips in the team's future performance could lead
to empty seats, Schechter adds; and Manchester, unlike London, may not be a big
enough city to automatically replace droves of disaffected fans.

For that reason, Schechter suggests, supporters can rest assured that the
Glazer family will invest enough money in new players to make United a
Premiership-winning side. 'Football is an entertainment business, and the
Glazers are very smart people. They know that football fans are fickle.'

Yet how much is enough? United have already spent £60m less this summer than
arch-rival Chelsea, whose purchases of Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko
were financed by the bottomless resources of Roman Abramovich, billionaire
owner of the London club. To compete in future, United may need some very
clever bankers indeed.

Man Utd - Results 2005

Total turnover £157m
Pre-tax profit £11
Matchday revenue £66
TV revenue £48m
Wage bill £77m

Living on tick is not always the answer

Leeds United

The club raised £60m six years ago through mortgaging its future gate receipts
over a 25-year period. This contributed to a massive debt stockpile, and when
heavy spending on players failed to secure Champions League qualification, the
club struggled to meet its debt repayments.

Leicester City

The East Midlands club borrowed £28m in a securitisation, saddling itself with
about £2.5m of repayments a year. But then it was relegated in 2001. The
stadium it had raised the money to build hosts the likes of Plymouth Argyle and
Burnley, rather than Man U and Arsenal, as it had hoped.

Arsenal

The club is selling £260m of bonds this month based on future match day
revenues. The money is for a new 60,000-seat stadium, with the club confident
it can exploit pent-up demand for tickets. This is seen as a successful deal
that has rekindled the market's interest in football debt.

[13] Mail on Ruud
---------------------------------
Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:
'Real Madrid have agreed personal terms with Manchester United striker Ruud van
Nistelrooy, according to reports in Spain.

Van Nistelrooy, 30, is wanted by new Real coach Fabio Capello as he looks to
bolster his attacking options ahead of next season.

But despite any agreement with Van Nistelrooy, Real's £11million valuation of
the Holland international falls way short of what United are asking.

Sir Alex Ferguson is prepared to let Van Nistelrooy leave Old Trafford after he
fell out of favour towards the end of last season.

But the United manager is demanding no less than £16m for the striker who moved
from PSV Eindhoven for £19m in the summer of 2001.

Ferguson, meanwhile, stepped up his battle of wills with unsettled winger
Cristiano Ronaldo yesterday when his assistant Carlos Queiroz insisted the
21-year-old would not be leaving.

Queiroz travelled to Portugal this week to try to talk Ronaldo, pilloried for
his role in Wayne Rooney's World Cup red card, out of pursuing a move to Real
Madrid.

Last night, as Queiroz prepared to board a flight from Manchester at the start
of United's pre-season tour of South Africa, he insisted: "There are no
problems with Cristiano. There is no doubt that he will return to Old Trafford
or that he will continue to be a Manchester United player this coming season.

"We are cool about the situation and sure that he will remain part of our team."

"I don't understand those players, and there are quite a few, who turn up in
the latest fashions every day. The United players have a go at me and call me a
scruff. I get some stick in the United dressing room because I usually turn up
in slippers. I have two pairs - just soft ordinary carpet slippers - one from
Marks & Spencer and the other just a cheap pair with an England flag on the
front bought from the market."

[10] Rooney in his own words
---------------------------------
Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=395910&in_page_id=1779&ct=5

Wayne Rooney has revealed that he wept tears of despair as he sat in the
dressing room following his controversial sending-off in England's ill-fated
World Cup quarter-final defeat by Portugal.

In his new autobiography, My Story So Far - serialised exclusively in The Mail
on Sunday today - Rooney says he was initially "too angry to cry" after being
sent off but broke down after being consoled by his England team-mates in the
dressing room following their defeat on penalties.

"The players came over to me, one by one, said things like: 'Don't worry,
Wazza, it wasn't your fault...don't be too upset'", says Rooney. "That was
when, for the first time, I felt a few tears come into my eyes. I don't cry
often. And I hadn't cried when I'd been sent off. I was beginning to feel sad -
this time for them, rather than myself. I didn't feel guilty about what had
happened because I still felt innocent. But my sending-off had let them down.
Because of me, for whatever reason, they'd been made to struggle on with only
10 men."

Rooney insists that, despite suggestions in some reports, he did not try to
confront his Manchester United team-mate, Cristiano Ronaldo, even though the
Portugal winger appeared to encourage the referee to send Rooney off after he
clashed with Chelsea's defender, Ricardo Carvalho.

Rooney says he and Ronaldo will have no problem training together at United
next season and he claims that, while he was angry with Ronaldo for encouraging
the referee to punish him, he had calmed down enough after the game to send a
conciliatory text message to his United team-mate.

Rooney said: "I was disappointed by Ronny (Ronaldo) trying to get me carded and
I gave him a bit of a push in the chest (on the pitch). But that was it. By the
next morning I was no longer angry over what had happened, or even with Ronny.
It seemed that the papers were trying to stir it up, rubbishing him, blaming
him.

"They reported that, after the game, while I was still in our dressing room, I
had tried to get into the Portuguese dressing room in order to hit Ronny.
That's not true. By then, such a thought wasn't even going through my mind.

"What the papers didn't know, and probably will never believe, is that on the
coach, on the way home after the game, I sent a text to Ronny. I told him to
forget about what happened. I wasn't blaming him for interfering. Then I wished
him and Portugal good luck in the semis and hoped they got to the final. And I
meant it.

"On the BBC studio panel, Alan Shearer said that when I met up with Ronny again
in training, I should 'stick one on him'. I think Alan said that in the heat of
the moment. England had just been knocked out and he was choked, as we all
were. But I never thought like that, not once it was all over."

Relating his version of the explosive incident in the 62nd minute of the game,
when he appeared to stamp on Carvalho's groin, he said: "I honestly thought I
was going to be awarded a free-kick. Each of the (Portuguese) defenders had
fouled me, so I thought, in trying to get the ball off me.

"By this time, Ronny had run up, though it was nothing to do with him, he
hadn't been involved in the incident. He appeared to be telling the ref I
should get a card. And then to my amazement the ref was putting his hand up in
the air. With a red card. For me. I was off. All I felt was disbelief.

"In being forced back, I had trod on the player on the ground, I realised that.
It turned out to be Carvalho. And I was aware that my foot had landed between
his legs, which, of course, is about the nastiest place to get hurt, but it was
an accident.

"I couldn't believe that the ref, who was so near, hadn't realised that.
Perhaps he was too near. What he saw, close up, was the player on the ground
and then my foot going into his groin. I'll go to my grave and still maintain
it was a complete accident. I hadn't intended to do it.

"If you study the photographs, you'll see that when I fell I had my back to the
player. I couldn't see him, or where I was putting my foot.

"If you think about it, if I'd done it deliberately, if it had been a definite
stamp meant to harm him, the fella would still be in hospital to this day. But
he was up on his feet in minutes, no worse for wear."

Rooney denies that he has a problem with anger and says that he will not have
therapy to curb his frequent red cards. He said: "Another paper said I was
going to have anger management therapy. They even named a Manchester woman I
had gone to, and was going to see again, so they said. It was all rubbish. I've
never seen such a person, and never would.

"Other papers said I was a disgrace, I'd behaved like a thug. Well, that's
their opinion. But it's all wrong. Standing on Carvalho was a total accident."

Rooney does reveal that he would rather have played in a 4-4-2 formation than
as a lone striker against Portugal but he refuses to criticise former England
coach Sven Goran Eriksson for his tactics.

Rooney said: "If it had been my decision, I would probably have preferred Peter
Crouch up front, with me behind, but it wasn't my shout. You have to believe
the manager knows best. Which I did. I had complete trust in him, that he was
doing the best thing in the circumstances.

"Some so-called experts have said that my anger on the pitch, resulting in the
red card, was all Sven's fault. I had been forced into a role, given too much
responsibility. But I think it could have happened at any time, in any match.

"Sven wanted to pack the midfield. We all knew, and understood that was our
plan. I didn't moan about it - and now it's long over, I'm not complaining. It
seemed right at the time."

[8] Fergie on Ole goals
---------------------------------
Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:
"Sometimes forwards freeze in front of goal. Ole warms up. His performance was
a massive bonus for us because he has been out for two years, so to have him
back and see him on the pitch was fantastic. It is like having a new signing.
Over the years, we have always had four strikers. At the moment we only
definitely have Louis Saha and Wayne Rooney because we are considering whether
to let Giuseppe Rossi leave on loan, Alan Smith won't be back until the end of
August or beginning of September even if we consider him as a striker and we
don't know where Ruud will be. Now Ole has come along and shown he could be
the third. When he got that first chance, you just knew Ole was going to take
it. There are very few players in our game who you feel so confident about
doing that."

"The relegation was bad enough, but the 30-point penalty is even worse because
it makes it almost imposssible to get back to Serie A after one season down. I

Posted Sunday, July 16, 2006 by ed:
"The Italian situation is something we are addressing at the moment. We are
not entirely clear who is available or what the circumstances would be. Would
we be looking at a loan for a year while those clubs hope they get back into
Serie A? Or are the players for sale or are they free transfers? We have
been linked with everyone and I'm not surprised. Cannavaro is fantastic, but I
don't know anything more than that."

We're trying to consolidate our goalkeeping options and by next season I think
we will be in a stronger position than at any time since the Peter Schmeichel
era. We need experienced cover and the fact that Tomasz has played a full
season in the Premiership gives him greater all-round experience at this moment
in time."

[1] After match quotes we carried last night
---------------------------------
Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed:
Ole

"I've missed the last two pre-seasons so I've been looking forward to this. The
main thing is to get match fit. I do feel sharper. It's to get ready for August
19th. I'm enjoying every day. Every training day. With the World Cup players
away this is a big opportunity for some. We have a set system and hopefully
everyone will be ready for August 19th."

Giggs

"The lads have thrown the cob webs away and this is what we needed. It was
competitive and we responded in the right way and we played some good stuff.
Great to see Ole scoring. Just what he needed and it's a good comeback. Ole
scores goals, important goals and let's hope he's a major part of the team next
year. Scholes is looking forward. We can't wait for the season to start. We
lost the season quite early last year. We realise we need to get off to a good
start and make sure we're up there around Xmas time. Yeah I expect new faces,
especially when you've not won the league. With Ole and Scholes and Gabbi it's
like three new signings. It gives the fans and players a boost"

"We scored early and that was a great thing. Our one touch play was terific at
times. I thought it was a great competitive match and all in all it's been a
big plus for us."

[18] Ashley Cole hits out at Arsenal
---------------------------------
Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed:
"Arsenal hung me out to dry, using me as a scapegoat to get back at Chelsea.
The board 'rewarded' me with an insult and threw years of loyalty back in my
face. I'll reveal the shattering truth about who fed me to the sharks. It
changed my view forever on the club I regarded as family. Contract negotiations
broke down and as a player I felt betrayed. I was on trial within football and
it was Arsenal AND Chelsea versus me. I was fined for holding transfer talks
with Chelsea and was synonymous with one of the biggest transfer scandals in
soccer. I battle to clear my name and a secret deal keeps me at Arsenal."

[17] Mirror on Ruud and Defoe
---------------------------------
Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by tb:
MANCHESTER UNITED have made an official approach to Spurs for £15million
striker Jermain Defoe - after last night selling Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real
Madrid.

The Dutchman, a £12m capture for the Spanish giants, has signed a threeyear
deal worth £90,000-a-week.

United had agreed a similar fee with German champions Bayern Munich but new
Real boss Fabio Capello proved a massive draw for the Champions League record
scorer as he again links up with his ex-Old Trafford team-mate David Beckham.

[16] Wayne wants Ron to stay
---------------------------------
Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by tb:
A 'source':

"Wayne will be absolutely delighted if Ronaldo remains at United, and looks
forward to playing alongside him next season. "It's absolute b******s that
Wayne wants Ronaldo out. That couldn't be further from the truth. He still
regards him as a mate.

"Wayne has said nothing on the matter to United. He's a bigger man than that.
He's made no moves whatsoever. He doesn't want him to leave."
