M.E.N. Sport understands United are set to almost double the £254m of debt sitting against the club's name - but in return will be able to get rid of the current high-interest loans which would have led the club into a debt minefield. But opponents of the Glazer regime believe the moves will further reduce the club's chances of competing with Chelsea and Real Madrid in the transfer market, and will lead to further ticket price rises and maybe even a push to form a European super league. "The Glazers have done the equivalent of taking Carol Vorderman's advice and consolidated their loans," says Colin Hendrie of the Independent Manchester United Supporters Association (IMUSA). Chunk The Glazers paid for their takeover by borrowing £254m from investment bankers JP Morgan, a loan secured against the club's assets, and around £275m from US-based "hedge funds" and secured against the family's own assets. Now, according to Wall Street sources, the American tycoon and his family are planning to take out a loan, as high as £500m and possibly over a 25-year period, in the form of bonds to be sold to a bank or other financial institution. That money would be used to pay off the JP Morgan debt and a sizeable chunk of the hedge fund debt - which has interest rates as high as 20 per cent - and leave them with more manageable interest rates of six per cent or less. A banker with links to the Glazers said: "Securitisation of future ticket sales is being looked at very closely. But Manchester United management is very comfotable with its existing financial structure. However anything that reduces the cost of capital is clearly a good thing." But opponents of the Glazer regime claim the re-structuring of the debt amounts to a further gamble with the club, and point out that any failings on the field could lead to the club crashing and burning in the same way Leeds United have done. Anti-Glazer fan groups argue that the new United loans will leave less money for incoming player transfers, increasing the risk that United will not qualify for Europe - and that would have serious financial ramifications. Says Hendrie: "By releasing bonds they're just borrowing new money to pay off old loans. The debt is still there, it hasn't gone away. Outstanding "Every penny that is paid in interest or used to pay back the outstanding loans is money that can't be spent on players. The playing staff has been cut to the bone, just at a time when real investment is needed. "The fans want success for the team. "In days gone by, the money raised by ticket price rises would have been used to finance that success. The Glazers' big gamble is on whether the fans they have turned into customers will keep coming back when ticket prices keep rising and the team is no longer doing as well as it once did." A spokesman for the Glazers denied that any re-financing deal has been struck, but said: "By the end of the year there will be some form of re-financing". M.E.N. Sport understands that a major UK bank has already been approached to handle the matter - and the favourites appear to be Royal Bank of Scotland, who recently completed a similar £260m deal to finance the building of Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium. The deal would involve United channelling some of their revenue streams - such as income from executive boxes, from food outlet franchising or from ticket sales - into repaying the new loan. Critics of the Glazer regime believe it will lead to further ticket price hikes, and maybe even a push for a European super league, as a means of increasing revenue. But re-financing is about to happen, and that is because United are, according to a spokesman, in a much healthier financial position than they were when the takeover occurred in May, 2005. One United source says that the original deal to buy the club was struck without the banks involved having seen the detail in United's financial books, as they were forbidden by the plc board which then ran the club. As a result, the greater risks were reflected in high-interest loans. Now the Glazers have their feet under the boardroom table, and are able to display the apparent solidity of United's business, they can re-structure the loans. United point out that since the takeover, income has increased due to the Premiership negotiating a better deal for TV rights, the expansion of the ground and its executive facilities, and to the increase in ticket prices and car parking charges. --------------------------------- [1] One of Ronaldo's 'friends' --------------------------------- Posted Monday, July 10, 2006 by tb: As the Sun reckons he'll go awol, rather than return.

(OK sorry I couldn't resist that) my source actually said £2million but I am assuming that was a slip of the tongue) I dont know who is doing the news during DB's vacation but he (DB) has previously been informed about this source Get it on news page it's a good exclusive for RN. This willl be announced later on Thursday or possibly even Friday (they like to leak snippetts about a "big story" exclusive on the Reading FC website to get people to register... in this case something like "Reading's biggest ever signing"! player set to put "pen to paper" in this historical moment in Readings long 134 year history! The huge world football star has agreed terms and is set to fly into the UK as soon as his Germany world cup 2006 duties have been fulfulled! --------------------------------- [5] Pot calling kettle... --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 6, 2006 by jvs: >From the Guardian: Chelsea last night responded to claims by the new Real Madrid president that Arjen Robben wants a transfer to the Bernabéu by lodging an official complaint with Fifa. Juán Ramón Calderón was elected to the Bernabéu presidency on Sunday night and his first act yesterday was to install Fabio Capello as Madrid's new manager on a three-year contract. Calderón then generated uproar at two leading European clubs by insinuating that his staff had made approaches to players without having obtained their employers' prior permission. Calderón's claim that his election team, from whose ranks Predrag Mijatovic has become Madrid's technical director, had made contact with Robben, immediately drew a furious response from the Holland winger's club, Chelsea. "We're trying to bring three [new players] here and Robben is the first one," Calderón said to Sky Sports News yesterday. "Mijatovic has been at a match in Germany with [Chelsea's owner] Roman Abramovich and in theory Mijatovic told us we can reach an agreement. We have been in touch with the player and it seems that [Robben] wants to come here." It has been a traditional transfer tactic in Madrid to make public statements about players in the hope that being linked with the world's most glamorous club would unsettle them. However the admission of what would seem to amount to illegal talks is a breathtakingly bold new strategy. "There have been no meetings or conversations between the Real Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic and any Chelsea officials, anyone mandated to act on Chelsea's behalf or Roman Abramovich about Arjen's future," said Chelsea's chief executive Peter Kenyon yesterday. "Mr Calderón confirms that Real Madrid have spoken to Arjen. "As a result of these various comments Chelsea will be writing to Fifa to ask them to investigate an illegal approach for our player by Real Madrid. We will not be entertaining any offers for Arjen." Kenyon has ordered for a tape of the interview to be forwarded to Fifa along with the complaint, and the world governing body will await receipt of Chelsea's submission before acting on the accusations. It is unlikely that Calderón's comments were anything but calculated, however, since the Madrid chairman will surely have been aware that Milan had already registered a separate complaint about his club's conduct with regard to their Brazil international Kaka. The Italian club lodged its objections to Fifa during the presidential hustings last month since the promise of Kaka's transfer was being used as an election ticket for several of the candidates. Now Calderón appears to have confirmed the suspicions of the San Siro. "[Another Madrid transfer target] is Kaka, the Brazilian player in Milan," he added. "We know it's going to be difficult because Milan doesn't want to sell." That may change if Milan suffer enforced relegation as a result of alleged match fixing in Italy, now the subject of a criminal investigation in Rome. Yet Madrid seemed most confident of their chances of enlisting Arsenal's Cesc Fábregas. The 19-year-old's agent revealed earlier this week that he had received an approach from the new Bernabéu authorities but emphasised that Arsenal would not sell him for "all the gold in the world". "Cesc Fabregas wants to come here," Calderón said. "We now have to get in touch with Arsenal. I know Mijatovic has been in touch with his representative and he said that he is very much interested in joining Real Madrid. I haven't been in touch with David Dein. He is a good friend of mine." Despite the strength of Calderón's comments about their player Arsenal are confident in the sanctity of the contract they hold with the 19-year-old midfielder, which runs to 2011. The attraction that Madrid presents players has surely been enhanced by the arrival at the Bernabéu of Capello, who yesterday agreed a three-year contract after quitting Juventus on Tuesday. Calderon added: "He will be here for three years. He is a winner, and this is important at this club after three years without a title." Capello is believed to have identified Chelsea's Ricardo Carvalho and Juventus's Gianluca Zambrotta as other players he would like to take to Madrid. He will then discuss the possibility of signing Ruud van Nistelrooy from Manchester United and Lyon's Mahamadou Diarra. --------------------------------- [4] Ronaldo not bothered about boos --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 6, 2006 by jvs: I was pleased about being booed," he said. "I am a dangerous player. And maybe the French fans were upset to see a dangerous player. "It doesn't worry me. I'm just here to do my job and try and help the team." --------------------------------- [3] Ronaldo on last night --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 6, 2006 by jvs: "We played well and did our best but the referee didn't help us." "Everyone who saw the match could see that the referee wasn't fair." "He should have shown yellow cards but he did not because Portugal is a small country. We just have to carry on working and then we will be a big country." "Portugal showed that they can play good football." "France were no better than we were. They got a penalty but not much else." "We are disappointed not to reach the final after such a match. We really wanted to go through but didn't make it. It is the end of our dream. But we have to congratulate France." --------------------------------- [2] Real President on Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 6, 2006 by jvs: "Ruud van Nistelrooy is one of the options but it depends on Capello. "We have to chat with him this evening when Capello is here. It is something we have to consider very carefully." --------------------------------- [1] Info on news posting --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 6, 2006 by jvs: The Ed has gone on a well deserved and long overdue holiday.

The Championship side are searching for a quick replacement for the departed Glenn Hoddle, and club captain Ince is now hoping to fill the vacancy. The former England star has strong support amongst the fans of the Midlands side and agent Steve Kutner has confirmed he has composed an application on Ince's behalf. "Because he has had such overwhelming support from the fans, I have drawn up a letter confirming he would like to be considered for the manager's position," said Kutner. "Paul is flattered that people would like him to be the next manager of Wolves." The club are already talking with Ince regarding an extension of his playing contract, and chief executive Jez Moxey is keen to wrap up the managerial situation as soon as possible. "As far as I am concerned we have to move quickly," said the Wolves supremo. Over 20 candidates have already applied for the post at the Championship side. --------------------------------- [5] Rio embarrassed --------------------------------- Posted Wednesday, July 5, 2006 by jvs: >From the Sun: "I'm gutted. I genuinely went into this tournament believing that we would get to the semi-finals at least - and I would have been disappointed with that," "It's embarrassing if I'm being honest. I was a bit embarrassed to set foot outside the door when I went shopping with my girlfriend Rebecca. "If I was a fan I would be desperately disappointed. I would have expected more than what we gave them. "We didn't do ourselves justice. Individually we have a lot of fantastic players but it's about being able to gel in all departments as a team and we didn't do that. "The whole way through the tournament the thing that let us down was that we didn't finish teams off. "It will take a long time to get over it. I expected so much and so did our support --------------------------------- [4] Gary on the 'golden generation' --------------------------------- Posted Wednesday, July 5, 2006 by jvs: "I still think there is a little bit left in the golden generation. I don't think it is the end of the golden generation. "But we all know this World Cup was a big chance for us. It was on European soil and we cruised through to the quarter-final without even having to perform. It is another lost opportunity - one of many because we have got good players. "We start again with a new manager in four or five weeks' time and a friendly against Greece. We are suffering now but we have to pick ourselves up and go again. "You move on. I start pre-season training again on July 24 with United and, I know it may sound wrong, but you have to start thinking about that, your preparation, getting yourself ready to go again. "It's the English mentality. You pick yourself up and you fight back. You don't give anything away. "England always go again. What else can we do? You can't give in and say `that's it, we are going to stop playing football'. "It's a proud football nation. It has suffered more than this and it will suffer again I am sure but we will bounce back and keep striving." --------------------------------- [3] Gary wont quit --------------------------------- Posted Wednesday, July 5, 2006 by jvs: "Perhaps I have played in my last World Cup finals but I have said always I will never retire from international football. "It's not Gary Neville's right to retire from international football. "While I'm still playing football for any club then I will be available for my country. That is the way it has always been and always will be with me." --------------------------------- [2] Blatter just can't keep his mouth shut --------------------------------- Posted Wednesday, July 5, 2006 by jvs: "The referee was touching distance from the players and he took the decision according to what he saw," he said. "The referee's decision is final and I have not seen any protest from fans or even team-mates on the field of play." --------------------------------- [1] Important information regarding the news --------------------------------- Posted Wednesday, July 5, 2006 by jvs: The Ed has gone on a well deserved and long overdue holiday.

The 24-year-old German-based star is reluctant to exchange Bayern Munich for a team not playing in the Champions League, which would mean he would only be interested in Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. Hargreaves said: "It would be great to play in the Premiership, but it hasn't happened so far. Bayern are a massive club in Europe, competing for the Champions League every year. It would be difficult to leave just to go to any club in England." Daily Star --------------------------------- [7] Rooney --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, July 4, 2006 by Garryowen: Wayne Rooney last night told of his anguish at being sent off during Saturday's World Cup quarter-final with Portugal - but insisted he did nothing wrong. And he laid into Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo over his 40-yard dash to urge the referee to take action in the wake of the foul, declaring the Portuguese winger should have kept his nose out. Rooney said: "When the referee produced the red card I was amazed, gobsmacked. I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but am disappointed that he chose to get involved. I suppose I do though have to remember that on that particular occasion we were not team-mates. I want to say absolutely categorically that I did not intentionally put my foot down on Ricardo Carvalho. He slid in from behind and unfortunately ended up in a position where my foot was inevitably going to end up as I kept my balance. That's all there was to it." Daily Mirror --------------------------------- [6] Official site on Rossi contract --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, July 4, 2006 by Garryowen: from manutd.com Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has agreed terms with Giuseppe Rossi of a further 2 years to his current contract. This will see Giuseppe stay at the club until June 2010. The 19-year-old striker joined United in July 2004 from Italian side Parma. He made his Reds debut in the Carling Cup against Crystal Palace in November 2004. In 2005/06 he made 12 appearances and scored four goals for the first-team, as well as 30 goals in 28 starts for the Reserves. Sir Alex Ferguson said: We are delighted that he has signed a new contract, he represents the future of the club. Last year he had a remarkable season and he is developing all the time. Giuseppe is a fantastic talent and we see a great future ahead for him. Giuseppe Rossi said: It is great to have extended my contract with the best team in the world. I just hope to keep progressing and developing my career. --------------------------------- [5] Ref from saturday on sending off --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, July 4, 2006 by jvs: >From the Times: AS WAYNE ROONEY continued to protest his innocence yesterday, the referee who sent him off in Gelsenkirchen maintained that it was the violence of the strikers clash with Ricardo Carvalho and not the vehemence of Portugals protests that caused him to produce the red card that devastated Englands hopes of reaching the World Cup semi-finals. It is a reprieve for Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portugal winger accused of deviously persuading Horacio Elizondo to dismiss Rooney on Saturday, but more fuel for those who wish to give Englands tyro short shrift for his ruinously short fuse. outside his hotel in Frankfurt, Elizondo, the Argentinian in charge of Englands quarter- final defeat, confirmed that he sent off Rooney for lashing out with his boot and catching the defender in the groin, not for the 20-year-olds push on Ronaldo. It was violent play and therefore he got a red card, Elizondo said. Ronaldo seemed to exhort the official to take action against Rooney, then winked at the Portugal bench after the card was flourished, though both the Manchester United team-mates were keen to dismiss talk of a feud last night. People can say what they want, but this had absolutely no influence, Elizondo, who had appeared unlikely to take any action until Ronaldos intervention, said. In general I dont pay much attention to that sort of thing because I dont care about the pressure on my shoulders during a match. For me it was a clear red card, so I didnt react to the Portuguese players. There was pushing and shoving on both sides, but for me it wasnt a reason to caution anybody. As is standard practice, Fifa reviewed Elizondos performance and it is understood that the governing body was pleased with his handling of the match, making him a contender to take charge of the final. However, Ronaldos actions might have brought him a yellow card. Andreas Wurz, the Fifa spokesman for referees, said that, as a rule, if a player exhorts a referee to produce a card, that player must be cautioned. If the player says book him, book him, this is not fair play. This is unsporting conduct. Elizondo defended himself against accusations that he had failed to book several of Englands opponents for diving. I got advice from Fifas referees committee that if there is a slight touch but its not a foul, then to say, come on, get up, and not give an immediate caution, he said. I only give yellow cards for clear diving and I didnt think there was any. The referee also stood by his decision to make Jamie Carragher retake Englands fourth penalty during the shoot-out defeat, the Liverpool defender having his second effort saved after scoring with his first attempt. I didnt blow my whistle, he said. I had indicated from the first kick onwards to wait for the whistle. Elizondo is an avid fan of English football. Im always watching the Premier League on TV in Argentina and I know every single result from the first to the last game, he said. I watched Portugals previous four matches in this tournament so Im well aware of their style of play and whos in their line-up, that goes for both teams. In general Im very satisfied with the spirit of fair play in the match. Sven-Göran Eriksson (the England head coach) went to the locker-room after the match and congratulated me for an excellent performance and said that I was right to send off Rooney because it was rough play. Urs Meier, the Swiss who disallowed Sol Campbells late header against Portugal at Euro 2004, was inundated with hate mail and death threats from England fans after a newspaper published his contact details, but Elizondo, a 42-year-old poetry-writing PE teacher, professed to be unworried if a similar scenario occurs. Ive never thought about it and to be honest I dont care, he said. If people or newspapers would like to create stories like that, its up to them. I really dont care. --------------------------------- [4] Rossi Deal --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, July 4, 2006 by jvs: >From Sky Sports: Giuseppe Rossi has signed a new contract. Details to follow soon. --------------------------------- [3] Not exactly Barcelona --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, July 4, 2006 by jvs: >From the BBC Manchester United will play Uefa Cup holders Seville in a friendly to mark the completion of an 8,000-seat extension at Old Trafford. The new section takes the stadium's capacity to 76,000. United play Seville on 12 August and the match will be preceded with the burial of a time capsule to mark their achievements in the past 50 years. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "It's a good way to celebrate the club's achievements in the past five decades." --------------------------------- [2] Rooney on sending off --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, July 4, 2006 by jvs: >From the BBC: Striker Wayne Rooney said he was "gobsmacked" to be sent off for a stamp on Ricardo Carvalho in England's World Cup quarter-final against Portugal. And he insisted he was not angry with Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared to encourage the referee to send him off. "I want to say absolutely categorically that I did not intentionally put my foot down on Carvalho," said Rooney. The 20-year-old added: "I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but am disappointed he chose to get involved." England ended up losing 3-1 on penalties to Portugal having drawn 0-0 after extra-time. Rooney's Manchester United team-mate Ronaldo scored the winning spot-kick. Sven-Goran Eriksson's men played the final hour of the match with 10 men after Rooney's sending-off, but in a statement released on Monday, the striker said: "When the referee produced the red card I was amazed - gobsmacked." He added: "Obviously I'm bitterly disappointed to have been sent off in a World Cup finals match for England. Truly if there was any justice, England would now be preparing for a World Cup semi-final Wayne Rooney "I remember the incident clearly and have seen it several times since on TV," Rooney said. "I am of the same opinion now as I was at the time that what happened didn't warrant a red card. If anything, I feel we should have had a free-kick for the fouls committed on me during the same incident. "If you ask any player - and indeed almost any fan - they will tell you that I am straight and honest in the way I play. "From what I've seen in the World Cup, most players would have gone to ground at the slightest contact but my only thought then was to keep possession for England." Rooney hailed his England team-mates, who fought valiantly to force extra-time and penalties despite being a man down. "I thought the England lads were awesome after I went off and the effort they put in was amazing," he said. "Truly if there was any justice England would now be preparing for a World Cup semi-final. Sadly, however, that is not to be in 2006." --------------------------------- [1] Important.
