SUN reckons deal is 'United will pay £29.1million to sign Ferdinand on a five-year contract - after Leeds turned down a £29m bid on Friday. * The Elland Road club could receive a further £4m depending on United's future performances, taking the total fee to £33.1m. * £14.9m is payable now, immediately clearing Leeds' debt, with £14.2m due in 12 months.' They also go on to say: 'Kenyon's draft letter read: "The board of Manchester United plc is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed with Leeds United plc for the transfer of the registration of Rio Ferdinand to Manchester United FC. "Ferdinand has agreed a five-year contract commencing immediately. The transfer agreement provides for a cash consideration, included associated costs of £29.1m - £14.9m payable immediately and £14.2m payable in July 2003. "In addition further payments, up to a maximum of £4m, will be payable over the next five years depending on the team performance of Manchester United." But the deal did not go through without a final hiccup. After several attempts, Kenyon got a reply saying the wording could not be read and he had to call on his mobile.' --------------------------------- [25] More from Ridsdale --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "Overall the whole thing has been very disappointing and I'm pleased to finally draw an end to this saga. Leeds fans must remember we have a great squad and now money in the bank to mount a serious title challenge. They should not be depressed by any means. I have done the best job for Leeds United." --------------------------------- [24] We spend, others struggle --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: Barca terminate Rivaldo's contract to cut their wage bill. --------------------------------- [23] Merry go round --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: Leeds apparently now interested in Jaap Stam --------------------------------- [22] In Spain they loan players --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: these days instead of buying, Barca secure Gaizka Mendieta from Lazio --------------------------------- [21] More from O'Dreary --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "There is nobody more capable of dealing with the pressure of a £30million transfer to Old Trafford. Sir Alex Ferguson knows that.'" --------------------------------- [19] Houllier on ending Bowyer bid --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: words greedy spring to mind "He had neither the hunger nor the desire to play for the club, qualities which are essential in any Liverpool player." --------------------------------- [18] O'Dreary's handy tips - part 9086 --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "When you get there, you won't need a settling-in period. It's not like when Jaap Stam came from Holland and needed months before looking the part. You'll be ready straight away and judging by the way United defended last season, they will need you at your best." --------------------------------- [17] Order a RN t-shirt online --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: Red News over the coming days will be advertising a new series of shirts for sale from United's first fanzine.

I think Peter Ridsdale has negotiated the situation well - the deal was done before he entered the talks. I think he's done a very good job. The manager will be sorry he's lost a good player but he knows where he stands now and he'll be able to try to improve where he needs to improve. He can now get down to the job in hand. The financial situation is sound for the moment and Terry Venables can look at where he wants to strengthen.The best way to get over losing a player like Rio is to get behind the team - and to beat the team who think they've got the best player." --------------------------------- [12] Tommy Doc on the deal --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "Contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on now. You can't turn down a club like Manchester United. Leeds are a big club but Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are bigger. It's a great investment by the club. Peter Ridsdale has done a fantastic job and they've got a great coach in Venables - I think he's the best coach in the game football-wise - and he'll get the money to strengthen and replace Rio." --------------------------------- [11] More Joe Joe Joe Jordan on Rio --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "He wants to play in the Champions League and didn't achieve that at Leeds - and he's grasped the opportunity to play with a club who can get that on a yearly basis. He's had a very good World Cup and enjoys playing against the best. Now he's got the opportunity to achieve that ambition - which all footballers should try and do. Leeds stated they didn't want to sell the player - but they have to do something about the debt situation at Elland Road They have some very, very good players and (Leeds chairman) Peter Ridsdale has decided some players have to go. There are limited players available that can be purchased and that's why you have a £30million fee He's a young player and you don't want to invest that money in someone who is 29. The market this summer has been very, very quiet because there is not much money about - but maybe this purchase will have a bit of a chain reaction." --------------------------------- [10] Last day for ebay promotion --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: .... before the ebay promotion finishes - on 22nd July.

I didn't want to sell Rio to Manchester United, but they were the only club to come in for him and Rio had put in a transfer request.'' so talk of a late Arse bid was all, well, a load of arse. --------------------------------- [8] Red News summer offer --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: Red News published 9 issues last season, of which we have limited stocks of 8 still available.

Everyone's happy. The ones who will miss out are the fans because they are losing being able to watch this great young talent. Peter Ridsdale tried very, very hard to back David O'Leary and make Leeds a big club - but they have failed in the last two years.'' --------------------------------- [6] McQueen knows what it's like --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "I feel a little bit of sympathy for Leeds supporters. They are losing their best player and they will be absolutely devastated - and what makes it a lot worse for them is for him to go to Manchester United. But Leeds' loss is Manchester United's gain because he's such a good player. Leeds can't match United's financial clout and the centre of defence has been a massive problem for them.'' --------------------------------- [5] Joe Jordan - Rio will cope --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: "He's left a very good club - I spent seven and a half years there - but Manchester United are a fantastic club. They will be a stronger team with him - they can now go on and win the championship. He handled the move from West Ham well and I think he'll blossom into an even better player now." --------------------------------- [4] Shelbourne match report --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: Lads, I attended The United Vs Shelbourne match yesterday at Tolka Park. It was brilliant to hear the cheers and the fantastic support that Roy received from Irish Reds yesterday. I didn`t hear one boo or jeer and if any ABU`s were at the match they kept their feelings to themselves. You could see from Roy`s face that it meant a lot to him . He was genuinely chuffed by the fans loyalty & support. It reminded me of the way United fans supported David Beckham in 1998 and I was proud of United`s fans yesterday. When one of our own is in trouble and in need of a dig out , we were there for him. The game itself was very one sided, but the form of Van Nistelroy and Veron especially was very heartening. If Veron can produce that range of passing & vision that he showed yesterday on a regular basis in the Premiership we may well start to see that he was well worth the £28M that United paid for him last year.We saw a Van Nistelroy hat trick ,Forlan`s first goal in a United shirt & Yorke`s last (Probably). All in all a good day at the office and the promise of a great season ahead. Best wishes Red-Ned (Limerick) --------------------------------- [3] A Red Perspective --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: >From the news 19/7 - RN: We've asked United this before but still no response. Will >execs be put in the ballot or do they have specific percentage put aside for them as >was the case years back? Re above - Why don't execs have to phone up like everyone else? Perhaps they might get too cross about pressing re-dial a hundred times, then paying for a National rate phone call plus 3% added to every transaction. Mine's a debit card and I don't think that costs anything to process, so why would I be charged £1.20 if I get a Chelsea ticket - blooming expensive stamp and envelope? Reader asked to remain anonymous --------------------------------- [2] You fat... --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: Neil Ruddock told to go on diet this summer and he's actually lost one of his 12 bellies Swindon spokesperson "He has come back and lost a lot of weight after being on a protein diet. It's just a case of getting match-fit now." --------------------------------- [1] Order the Keano autobiography --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 22, 2002 by bar-knee: The truth - from the lips of the Captain himself.
