[29] Times talk United... and Vieira
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'FOR the first time under the ownership of the Glazer family, Manchester United
have agreed to spend what might be termed serious money on a player, but the
arrival of Michael Carrick from Tottenham Hotspur yesterday in an £18.6 million
deal has not generated a groundswell of affection towards the Americans, or
indeed a stampede towards the ticket office, where, for once, it seems that
demand is outstripped by supply.
United declared excitedly yesterday that some of the best seats at Old
Trafford are now available for the biggest league games of the season, but the
announcement on their official website turned out to be an appeal for
supporters to buy season tickets in a quest to fill their expanded 76,000-seat
arena. But if Carrick cannot be relied upon to put bums on seats, maybe Patrick
Vieira could.

Having announced that he intends to leave Juventus after the Italian clubs
demotion to Serie B in the wake of the match-fixing scandal, the former Arsenal
midfield player seemed to imply yesterday that he could yet be the man to fill
the void left at Old Trafford by his great adversary, Roy Keane.

Every player wants to play for a club like Manchester United at the highest
level, Vieira said. After nine years at Arsenal it might be difficult, but
everything can happen in football. Now Im not sure where Im playing next
season. Im still looking for a new club. There might be some sort of
conclusion in the next 48 hours and its a very important decision for me.

Vieira had been expected to join AS Roma, but that move has fallen through,
paving the way for the intriguing prospect however unlikely of the
uncompromising Frenchman joining United.

Sir Alex Ferguson appears to have lined up Marcos Senna, the Villarreal and
Spain midfield player, after being frustrated in his attempts to prise Javier
Mascherano from Corinthians, but the United manager is a keen admirer of Vieira
and was thought to have already considered a move for the 30-year-old.
Certainly, the prospect of Vieira as a dynamic accomplice to Carrick would set
the pulses of United supporters racing again after the disappointment of losing
Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid.

Like Senna for whom Villarreal insist United have yet to open negotiations
Vieira would cost in the region of £5 million, although there is no chance of
him inheriting Keanes No 16 shirt. Carrick, who passed a medical yesterday,
has already done that.

In addition to the need for a holding midfield player such as Senna or Vieira,
of no less pressing concern is the need for a new centre forward, with Dirk
Kuyt, the Feyenoord captain, emerging as a contender to replace Van Nistelrooy.
Fernando Torres, the young Spain forward, remains Fergusons first choice if he
can find the £30 million-plus fee he would need to entice him from Atlético
Madrid, but it has emerged that United have also made an indirect inquiry
regarding the availability of Kuyt, who also interests Liverpool and Newcastle
United, in the past 48 hours.

Disenchantment among United supporters was evident in a friendly match away to
Preston North End on Saturday and, to a lesser extent, against Macclesfield
Town last night, when banners and stickers with the logo Love United, Hate
Glazer were plastered on the walls of Moss Rose. So much for Bryan Glazers
claims at the weekend that fans had accepted the family.

WORTH EVERY PENNY OR A WASTE OF MONEY?

The projected £18.6 million fee Manchester United have agreed with Tottenham
Hotspur for Michael Carrick keeps them second only to Chelsea in the
high-spending stakes, but the midfield player will be only the fifth most
expensive new arrival at Old Trafford in recent years.

Ruud van Nistelrooy
(£19 million from PSV Eindhoven, July 2001)

Seemed like a gamble given concern over a knee injury, but proved a resounding
success, scoring 150 goals in just 219 appearances for United, before falling
out with Ferguson and joining Real Madrid for a relatively small £11 million
fee last Friday

Juan Sebastián Verón
(£28.1 million from Lazio, July 2001)

Ferguson shattered the British transfer to sign him, but the Argentine was an
enormous disappointment, struggling to adapt to the English game. Sold to
Chelsea two years later for barely half that sum but flopped at Stamford Bridge
too, making just 14 appearances, and is now at Argentina side Estudiantes de la
Plata.

Rio Ferdinand
(£29.1 million from Leeds United, July 2002)

A successful signing in some regards, but a bargain? Hard to say so given that
the price seemed inflated at the time and that the defender has not developed
into the future United captain that Ferguson envisaged when breaking the
British transfer record for the third time in 12 months.

Wayne Rooney
(£20 million from Everton, rising to £27 million on future events, August 2004)

Always looked like a no-risk investment and seemed at home at Old Trafford from
day one. Has not turned United into title contenders yet, but that is not due
to any failure on his part, more a reflection of Ferguson's problems in
rejuvenating the midfield.

Michael Carrick
(£18.6 million from Tottenham Hotspur)

His value has rocketed from the £2.75 million Tottenham paid West Ham for the
25-year-old midfield player two years ago. While at White Hart Lane, he made 70
appearances and scored five goals. Carrick won the first of his seven England
caps in 2001, in a friendly against Mexico at Pride Park, and he most recently
started the second-round match against Ecuador at the World Cup.

---------------------------------
[28] Telegraph on all things United
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'Thirty days after his World Cup ended in shameful dismissal against Portugal,
Wayne Rooney renewed acquaintances with his nemesis Cristiano Ronaldo and
returned to action as Manchester United captain in a 45-minute appearance
against Macclesfield Town.

Rooney's return, which caused a 15-minute delay to kick-off as 6,000 fans
crammed into the League Two club's Moss Rose ground, coincided with the arrival
at Old Trafford of Michael Carrick, who wrapped up his £18.6 million transfer
from Tottenham following a successful medical last night.

Any fears that Rooney may be forced to overcome a negative reaction from
opposition supporters this season due to the quarter-final dismissal that
contributed to England's World Cup elimination were dispelled within minutes of
kick-off against Macclesfield, however, with a warm greeting by the home fans.

Rooney's re-appearance was the second piece of good news for manager Sir Alex
Ferguson on a day when his long search for reinforcements finally bore fruit in
the shape of Carrick.

Carrick becomes the fifth most expensive signing in United's history behind Rio
Ferdinand, Juan Sebastian Veron, Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Tottenham are likely to receive a down payment in the region of £14 million,
with further money due from United depending on Carrick's international
appearances and any domestic or European success achieved by the Old Trafford
club.

This will represent a remarkable profit on a player, with just two years left
on his contract, signed from West Ham for a mere £2.75 million two years ago.

Tottenham's success in forcing United to pay such a high fee for Carrick, a
player yet to establish himself in the England starting XI, has prompted rare
criticism of manager Ferguson from supporters.

The Old Trafford future of Ronaldo has yet to be resolved, however, despite the
Portugal forward's return to Carrington for pre-season training yesterday.

Ronaldo has done little to distance himself from summer speculation linking him
with a move to Real Madrid, a transfer seemingly all the more appealing to the
21-year-old in the wake of his World Cup confrontation with Rooney, when he
appeared to urge Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo to dismiss his United
team-mate.

The pair were reunited for the first time yesterday since their World Cup spat,
with Ronaldo returning to Carrington. The pair had little time to discuss their
part in the much-publicised incident, however, with the two players busy on
separate training programmes.'

[26] Guardian on Carrick
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'Michael Carrick will be the fifth most expensive player in Manchester United's
history and become the new No16 in place of the departed Roy Keane, with Sir
Alex Ferguson having apparently unearthed the answer to his midfield dilemma.
Yet even two years ago few would have believed that the then Spurs midfielder
was the man to replace the iconic Irishman.

"He has settled down fine," Ferguson said last night. "I said to him, 'I'm
giving you the No16', so he was delighted at that. I think that showed great
courage because sometimes players are a bit superstitious about things like
that but he was keen and said he would gladly take No16."

In 2004 Tottenham paid £2.75m to West Ham, then of the Championship, for
Carrick and restored a player who had made his England debut in 2001 to the top
flight. Some 75 games and two goals later a player with only two years on his
deal at Spurs is apparently worth almost seven times what Spurs paid for him.
"I have not spoken to anybody who, with £18.6m, would have spent it on
Carrick," said Mark Longden of the Independent Manchester United Supporters'
Association. "I can't understand what's going on."
Martin Jol may have spent time expressing his disappointment but he and his
chairman Daniel Levy, on holiday in Florida, must still be pinching themselves.
United have agree to pay just over £15m to Tottenham, with West Ham thought to
have a sell-on clause in the original deal. Other fees would be due to Spurs
according to appearances, honours and England caps. There have been seven so
far for the graduate of Tyneside's Wallsend Boys Club though only one, against
Ecuador at the World Cup, was a competitive fixture. The 25-year-old will hope
that tally swells.

Carrick passed his medical and has the class to thrive on the pitch. As a
deep-lying midfielder comfortable in possession and content dictating the
rhythm he has quietly excelled after a difficult start under Jacques Santini,
confirming the potential that simmered at West Ham.

Ferguson once hoped Juan Sebastián Verón would thrive in a similar role at Old
Trafford, though a mixture of his desire to glide forward and his inability to
settle into the English game condemned that £28.1m transfer as an expensive
mistake. Carrick, in contrast, benefits from six seasons already spent in the
Premiership.

"We are yet to see the best of Michael," said Frank Lampard Sr, who worked with
Carrick at West Ham after he signed professional terms in 1998. "It was clear
from the first time I saw Michael train that he was a rare talent. He always
looked like he had time on the ball. It's something only a few have. No
disrespect to Spurs but he will have to push himself at United because he's
stepping up a level and there will be demands on him all the time."

The implication in that is that Carrick can make similar progress to his former
West Ham team-mate Frank Lampard, who joined Chelsea in 2001. "When you're
training with world-class players every day you learn from them and raise your
level," added Lampard Sr. "If you have got the capabilities, which Michael has,
then you adapt and lift your level."

United will hope as much having missed out on Michael Essien, Mahamadou Diarra
and John Obi Mikel as they sought a replacement for Keane. Strengthening
remains a priority even after Carrick's arrival, however, with the void left by
Ruud van Nistelrooy's £10.3m sale still to be plugged.

"We have targeted several players but, in my experience, these things take
time," said Ferguson. "I wasn't too worried. You have got to trust the players
we have got. They had a fantastic season last year in the second half. There's
a great spirit here and, if we add a couple, it's a bonus for us."

'Manchester United took delivery of potentially the fifth most expensive player
in their illustrious history yesterday and yet while Michael Carrick finalised
the details of an £18.6m transfer from Tottenham Hotspur the club's support
were more enthralled by minimal details of the first post-Gelsenkirchen
encounter between Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. United's first
acquisition of the summer may represent the latest solution to Sir Alex
Ferguson's exhaustive search for a 21st-century midfield, but it will require
an immediate and emphatic return on an exuberant transfer fee before Carrick
fires their imagination and alters the perception that he is an expression of
frustration rather than a statement of intent.

Taken in isolation the purchase of a 25-year-old, established Premiership
playmaker, one who was instrumental in Tottenham's renaissance last season and
who also has the temperament and maturity to handle the unique spotlight of Old
Trafford, is a progressive move by a manager whose attempts to replace Roy
Keane have floundered so spectacularly for several years. After the failures of
Juan Sebastian Veron, Kleberson, Eric Djemba-Djemba, all of whom proved more
evocative in name rather than deed, and the swiftly departed Liam Miller,
Carrick represents the reliable, trusted alternative.

Whether he alone represents the great leap forward that United require to close
the chasm on Chelsea next season, however, is open to conjecture. An inflated
price-tag, admittedly one that is structured around various incentive-based
payments and is, therefore, not the vast profit that Tottenham have proclaimed,
has emphasised the dire predicament that United find themselves in as they
struggle to compete with the reigning Premiership champions both on the field
of play and in the transfer market. Once their interest in Carrick was revealed
by The Independent on the eve of the World Cup last season's runners-up could
not afford to miss out on their primary target, whatever the cost.

Meanwhile, Chelsea, who showed little interest in Carrick, welcomed to Stamford
Bridge the man whom Ferguson had previously envisaged leading his new-look
midfield next season, the free agent and Champions' League regular Michael
Ballack.

Most of the questions raised by this deal, however, concern Carrick himself,
who is yet to perform in Europe never mind prove that he can dominate midfield
in the manner Ferguson craves and envies when he watches Steven Gerrard at
Liverpool or Claude Makelele at Chelsea. Alongside a second, more tenacious
midfield signing or a rejuvenated Paul Scholes Carrick can prosper, as he
showed when supported by the experienced Edgar Davids at White Hart Lane last
season and in winning over the critics at West Ham United towards the end of
his Upton Park career, but while elegance and invention in possession will be
welcomed at Old Trafford, United's midfield is also in desperate need of
dynamism. Perhaps that will be addressed before the close of the window, with
Villarreal's Marcos Senna tipped to fill that void.

Chief among those who doubt if Carrick can assert himself on the most combative
of stages is Sven Goran Eriksson, who overlooked the latest graduate from the
Wallsend Boys Club in the North-east throughout his England tenure and is the
main reason a 25-year-old heralded for several seasons has a mere seven
international caps to his name.

Though Eriksson's judgement does not hold much weight after a dreadful
performance at the World Cup finals, there were others within the England camp
in Germany who, while deeply impressed with the quality and range of Carrick's
passing, felt that he did not impose himself enough on games or on a squad of
imposing personalities and egos.

Carrick made his international debut in a friendly against Mexico in 2001 but,
despite impressing on England's 2005 tour of the United States, it would be
another five years before he made his first appearance in the competitive arena
in the World Cup second-round tie against Ecuador. In Stuttgart the midfielder
initially brought rare composure to an England performance and his desire to
seek out Rooney with a procession of first-time passes augurs well for United,
although after an anonymous second-half display, when his colleagues reverted
to the long ball over his head, the-then Tottenham player was not deployed
again by Eriksson.

Two goals in 75 appearances for Tottenham highlights another area for
improvement, even if Carrick's modus operandi is to create, not execute, and
behind the pace of Rooney, Louis Saha, Giuseppe Rossi and perhaps even the
prolific Dutch international Dirk Kuyt, he will have plenty of opportunity to
enhance a reputation for intelligent distribution.

United's commitment to an incentive-laden deal demonstrates both confidence and
caution in Carrick's future, the hope being that, like Frank Lampard before
him, the former Hammer will blossom with age. Ferguson must hope he blossoms
with haste.

[23] Simon Stone, PA Match Report

Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'Wayne Rooney provided debt-ridden Macclesfield with a £25,000 windfall tonight
and cashed in himself with his first goal since April.

Rooney's mere presence in a largely youthful Manchester United line-up ensured
there was not a spare seat to be had at the humble League Two ground, which
would have been barely a third full otherwise.

And he left the fans with a memory to savour too during his hour-long
appearance, flicking Paul McShane's shot into the bottom corner with an
inspired touch from his right heel.

It was his first goal since netting a double at Tottenham and put United on the
road to victory as Frazier Campbell struck the winner after Danny Swailes had
levelled.

And, with Ruud van Nistelrooy now at Real Madrid, Rooney's performance
suggested he is ready to lead United's forward assault in the new Premiership
campaign.

Thirty days exactly since he trooped off distraught after his red card
quarter-final misery in Gelsenkirchen, the 20-year-old was handed the honour of
leading United for the first time despite the presence of Rio Ferdinand and
Edwin van der Sar in the visitors' starting line-up.

The move hardly suggested there was any lingering discontent for either Rooney
or boss Sir Alex Ferguson over the ultra-cautious stance United adopted over
his participation in the World Cup.

Rooney's performances in Germany proved the broken foot he sustained in a
Premiership meeting with Chelsea in April was fully healed and, with an extra
four weeks rest, is clearly anxious to get playing again.

Having pestered Ferguson for a game, it was little surprise Rooney approached
tonight's friendly with relish.

Partnering Giuseppe Rossi up front, Rooney was at the heart of most decent
United attacking moves.

The former Everton star almost got his name on the scoresheet after just 13
minutes when he exchanged passes with Rossi and darted into the box, only for
Tommy Lee to save with his legs.

Lee was also in the way when Rooney rose to flick a Lee Martin cross goalwards
and the Macclesfield keeper made it a hat-trick of decent stops just before the
half-hour mark when he kept out a low Chris Eagles effort.

On that occasion, Rooney's poor first touch had cost him a shooting chance
after Rossi had provided an excellent low cross.

Surprisingly kept on by Ferguson after the break, Rooney took only a minute of
the second period to open his account.

Swailes' piledriver had pegged United back by the time the former Everton star
departed, to a warm ovation, accompanied by Ferdinand.

With Van der Sar replaced at half-time, it left an inexperienced United side to
see out the final half hour, which they achieved in the best manner possible,
Campbell firing home 17 minutes from time to give the visitors victory.

The win did come at a price for United, with midfield duo David Jones and
Eagles both having to be helped off with serious-looking arm and leg injuries
respectively.'

Report by Steve Bartram

'Wayne Rooney marked his return to action by scoring the opening goal in a
narrow win over Macclesfield Town at Moss Rose.

The England striker converted from close range after beating the hosts' offside
trap just after half-time.

Chris Swailes levelled almost immediately for Brian Horton's side, but United
eventually won courtesy of Fraizer Campbell's acrobatic 71st-minute header.

Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar all completed at least 45 minutes
in a useful, competitive run-out against the Silkmen.

Former United Reserves keeper Tommy Lee, released this summer, thwarted United
throughout the first half with some fantastic saves.

Rooney was denied twice, but easily the best save was reserved for a
close-range Paul McShane header, which was somehow clawed away from virtually
on the goal-line.

United did move ahead just after half-time, as substitute Ritchie Jones saw his
shot diverted in by a clever flick from Rooney.

Swailes drew the hosts level just two minutes later, firing in from close range
via a deflection off Darron Gibson.

United kept pressing, none more than Giuseppe Rossi, who was within inches of
scoring time and again but remains without a pre-season goal to his name.

The winner came with just under 20 minutes remaining. Lee Martin's left-wing
free-kick was brilliantly headed in by Fraizer Campbell, who twisted in mid-air
to convert from close range.

The evening's only downside came as David Jones was taken to hospital with a
potentially serious arm injury.'

Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'Villarreal midfielder Marcos Senna appears no closer to making a move to
Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson is tying up the final details of his multi-million pound
capture of Tottenham's Michael Carrick and there has been widespread
speculation that Senna will become the second summer arrival at Old Trafford
for a fee in the region of £4 million.

The defensive midfielder impressed during last season's UEFA Champions League
run to the semi-finals and was being viewed as a cheaper alternative to some
more spectacular targets - including Milan's World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso.

However, Senna has admitted everything is up in the air regarding his future
and Villarreal claim they have not received an offer from The Red Devils.

"For me, it's a very interesting offer from a great European club but, in these
moments, I continue here with Villarreal," he told As.

"This is more a topic for the clubs so I don't know how this situation is going
to finish."

President Fernando Roig simply stated that the Yellow Submarines have not
received any bid from United for the Brazil-born Spain international, contrary
to the latest reports.'

[14] Fergie praise for Carrick
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
"He is happy, it is a terrific move for the lad - he is a great footballer, a
pure footballer - a marvellous passer of the ball. He will add to the different
types of players we have in midfield like Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, John O'Shea
and Darren Fletcher - all different types of player and he is just a different
type of player."

[13] Martin Jol on this season
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
It will be the same story this season - Chelsea out on their own at the top,
with Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool all chasing them. The reality is
Chelsea won the title by 12 points two years ago and by seven points last
season. Now they have signed Shevchenko and Ballack and theyre even stronger.
I have said all along that for the next couple of years Chelsea will be the
champions of England.

[12] SUN on Paul Parker
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:

'PAUL PARKER has told Manchester United fans: Don't worry about losing Ruud van
Nistelrooy.

Strike ace Van Nistelrooy ended his strained relationship with Sir Alex
Ferguson by joining Real Madrid on Friday.

But Parker, who played under Ferguson at Old Trafford from 1991 to 1996,
believes the Dutchman will fail to find his best form in Spain.

The 42-year-old ex-England defender said: "Ruud scored a lot of goals in the
first half of last season but never looked like he was going to hit the net in
the latter stages.

"He wasn't involved in the general play, he didn't look capable of making a
goal on his own and he didn't appear to have any energy or desire.

"When things aren't going right for you it's important to show a little bit
more and work hard to lift other players.

"You have to do something different to try and get yourself going.

"But Ruud didn't do that. If he didn't score he wasn't bothered. All he was
worried about was getting the ball delivered on a plate.

"Of course the goals he contributed will be missed.

"But at Manchester United it's all about the team and not individuals.

"Many individual players have left over the years and not too many have come
back to haunt the manager."

Parker claims United do not need to buy an established big name to take Van
Nistelrooy's place.
And he has urged the Old Trafford faithful to remain patient while Sir Alex
searches for an eager young striker.

Parker, a World Cup semi-finalist in 1990, added: "You don't go out and get
somebody who can score 25 to 30 goals a season.
"Instead, you find someone who has the potential to score goals and you believe
in the players you already have to provide him with opportunities.

"You find someone who wants to make his name by playing for Manchester United.

"Ruud van Nistelrooy did not come to United as somebody who could guarantee 30
goals a season he was just a good finisher.

"He improved because the service was better and the players around him were
better.

"That's why Ruud became the player he is and scored so many goals.

"A few years ago he could make goals himself. He always worked hard for the
team and tackled back.

"But the truth is he simply doesn't do it anymore."

[10] SUN really seem to revel in this anti Ronaldo stuff
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'A MASSIVE anti-riot operation is planned for Cristiano Ronaldos first game
back on English soil. Manchester United winker Ronaldo will spark security
fears if he plays in next Tuesdays friendly at Oxford United.

It would be Ronnys first appearance since his bust-up with Wayne Rooney in the
World Cup quarter-final in Germany.

Millions of England fans were fuming about the part the Portugal winger played
in club-mate Rooneys red card as the Three Lions crashed out.

Conference club Oxford have already sold 6,500 tickets for the United showdown.

But now the big concern is the remaining 3,500 tickets at the Kassam Stadium
will be snapped up by angry England supporters if it is confirmed Ronaldo will
play.

Oxford secretary Mick Brown said: So far we have been told it is a Manchester
United XI coming down.

There is already security in place for a match of this nature.

Obviously it would be interesting if Cristiano came and we may have to have
additional security.

We would have to liaise with United over this.

[9] SUN hint Vieira could be on the way
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
'PATRICK VIEIRA wants to join Manchester United and hopes to have a deal done
inside 48 hours. The ex-Arsenal star, 30, has decided to quit Juventus after
their relegation in the Serie A match-fixing scandal.

Vieira said: Everyone wants to play for a club like Manchester United at the
very highest level. It might be difficult after nine years at Arsenal but
anything can happen in football.

I will certainly not be playing for Juventus next season after they were
relegated to Serie B.

I believe my future will be sorted out in the next 48 hours.

If Vieira goes to Old Trafford he will link up with midfielder Michael Carrick,
who completed an £18.6million move from Tottenham yesterday.

Vieira joined Juventus for £13.7m last summer after nine years at the Gunners.

But with the Turin side dumped from Italys top flight and without Champions
League football, Juve need to off-load their highly-paid stars.

That means United boss Alex Ferguson could get Vieira for as little as £6m.'

[8] Debt news
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, August 1, 2006 by ed:
from Laywer.com

'Allen & Overy (A&O) and Clifford Chance have been called up for a second time
to advise Manchester United and JPMorgan on a £660m debt refinancing that
increased the amount of money borrowed against the club's assets, but reduced
its exposure to payment-in-kind notes (Piks).

Under the terms of the deal, Man Utd's overall debt has increased from £580m to
£660m. However, the club has halved the amount it owes in Pik notes to £135m.
As first revealed by The Lawyer (23 May, 2005), the Pik notes had a 15-year
maturity and Malcolm Glazer, Man Utd's owner, had to pay a premium for
redeeming the notes on or before 12 May 2007. However, if the notes had
remained outstanding for 63 months after 12 May 2005, a clause in the offer
document would have forced Glazer to sell 30 per cent of his stake to the hedge
funds holding the Pik notes. The notes were accruing at around £63m a year.

At the time of the takeover Glazer also borrowed £275m secured against the
club's assets and £272m in equity contributions. This high level of debt was
the main reason for the Man Utd board rejecting Glazer's bid at the time.

A&O partners Andrew Ballheimer and Andrew Bamber represented Man Utd on the
refinancing following the firm's role advising the Glazer family on the bid
last year. Clifford Chance acted for JPMorgan as arranger of the finance
package.'

[5] Hunter Davies on being Rooney's ghost (writer)
---------------------------------
Posted Monday, July 31, 2006 by ed:

How will England's lack of success - OK, rubbish performances - affect the
sales of the autobiographies of England's star players about to hit a good
bookshop near you very shortly? Plus Woolies, Amazon, the supermarkets, airport
terminals, discount shops, backs of barrows. Football biogs these days receive
saturation coverage. Have to, when you think of all the money it's cost to
secure, push and market them.
HarperCollins has two biggies, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard. Ditto Headline,
with Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole, while Bantam have Stevie Gerrard. There may
be others I've missed, or are being kept hidden, or have been quietly put back
until later when the disappointments of England's World Cup have been
forgotten. Or when we have rewritten history and begun to think: 'Heh, Sven
wasn't too bad, compared with the balls-up this joker Steve McClaren is now
making.'

I would guess these books have cost the publisher between £700,000 and £1m
each. I don't know, because such contracts are secret and all publishers and
players' agents tell whoppers. It's a macho business. You want to impress your
rivals with the size of your wad.

The Rooney book is the first to come out. I was purely the ghost, the hired
hand, so wasn't privy to the backstage dramas. My job was to get the words out
of him and on time, but I can imagine when he did his metatarsal there were a
few sleepless nights among the marketing folk. We got over that, phew, and it
gave me a good narrative - will he/won't he play? Then came his red card and
England's ignoble exit. There must have been a worry then about a Beckham-style
reaction: in 1998 Becks got booed for his red card against Argentina at every
ground in the country. So far, the nation seems to have sympathy for young
Wayne.

Buying up a footballer is a risky business for a publisher, just as it is for a
manager. It's a futures investment, putting faith in potential, and it's hard
to guard against unseen events. I did suggest to someone at HarperCollins that
they had a bet on England getting stuffed, early doors. That way, they'd make
some money, whatever happened. They decided against it. If it leaked out, it
would not help their relations with the FA or the players.

One factor in the success of all celeb books is personal promotion. It is
written into the contract just how many days, hours, minutes they will devote
to signing sessions, radio and TV appearances. They can shift 5,000 copies with
a few in-store appearances, immediately catapulting themselves into the top 10.
That has a knock-on effect - people buy books because they are on the
bestseller list.

I know of books where the star has spent more time signing copies than with his
ghost, which is hellish for the hack, having to cobble up enough words. Or
ghosts who hardly get to meet their subject, reduced to doing it all on a
mobile phone while their star player gets whisked between his sponsors.

When doing Shout, my Beatles biog, I'd often go to see John Lennon and discover
it was a day when he had chosen not to speak. Or with Gazza, I'd get to his
hotel and after 10 minutes he'd say: 'You're doin ma f*ckin' heed in.' I'd go
away, wander round for a few hours, until he was mentally and emotionally
ready. It can be hard for them, forced to concentrate, think back, and explain
things that, at the time, just seemed to happen.

I was very lucky with Wayne. I had eight long weekly sessions with him, of
three hours each, in his lovely home. His mobile was off and he gave his total
attention. Then from Germany, I had several 45-minute phone calls. Like most
lads of 20, especially one who is at his most fluent on the pitch, things often
had to be coaxed out of him, but he didn't get bored, ratty or refuse. Every
question, even the most personal, was answered.

The euphoria of our lads winning, or getting to the final, even the semis,
would have swept all these books into the bestseller lists, but I'm sure
they'll still do well. Wayne's will make it, no problem, because his story has
not been told before. People imagine they know him and his character, from his
boxer-like looks and his on-field attitudes, but they are only guessing. As we
all do with footballers. We think what we see is what they are.

Not many people realise that Robbie Savage is doing a PhD in rocket science and
is so sensitive he cries in sympathy when he squeezes a tube of toothpaste. Lee
Bowyer spends every spare moment caring and cleaning for poor people while
Craig Bellamy always helps oldies across the road, whether they want to cross
or not. Bless 'em all.

[43] MEN on Ronaldo
---------------------------------
Posted Monday, July 31, 2006 by ed:
'CRISTIANO Ronaldo was briefly reunited with Wayne Rooney at Manchester
United's Carrington training complex this lunchtime.

Ronaldo's return following his post-World Cup break coincided with Rooney
continuing preparations for his anticipated 45-minute appearance at
Macclesfield this evening.

It is the first time the pair have met in a professional setting since their
infamous clash during England's World Cup quarter-final defeat by Portugal in
Gelsenkirchen when Rooney was controversially sent off.

Many people, including Alan Shearer and Frank Lampard, believe Ronaldo was way
out of order by seemingly leading the clamour for Rooneys dismissal.

However, it appears Rooney has already forgiven his young team-mate after
initially suggesting he was disappointed Ronaldo got involved in the fracas
after the 20-year-old was ruled to have stamped on Ricardo Carvalho.

Ronaldo avoided the media scrum awaiting his arrival by driving into the
training ground via a back entrance, linking up with the majority of Uniteds
senior squad for a planned afternoon session from which Rooney has presumably
been excused given the 45-minute outing he will make along with Rio Ferdinand
and Edwin van der Sar at Macclesfield.

Although Ronaldo twice claimed during the World Cup that he wanted to move to
Real Madrid, United were quick to quash any suggestion the 21-year-old will be
allowed to leave having only just signed a contract which is due to keep him at
Old Trafford until 2010.

Instead, Ronaldo will be forced to face down the Premiership boo-boys looking
to make him a scapegoat for Englands World Cup demise.

It is anticipated the former Sporting Lisbon star will make his first
appearance of the Red Devils pre-season campaign in Amsterdam this weekend.

He could also play at Oxford on August 8 and against Seville at Old Trafford
five days later before United open their Premiership programme against Fulham
on August 20.

By then, Ferguson should have secured at least one new face in addition to
Michael Carrick, who will become Uniteds first summer signing providing he
comes through an extensive medical with no problems.

Tottenham have confirmed the fee agreed for Carrick could eventually rise to
£18.6million, which would make the 25-year-old the fifth most expensive player
in Uniteds history after Rio Ferdinand, Juan Sebastian Veron, Rooney and Ruud
van Nistelrooy.'

---------------------------------
[42] Frank Lampard senior
---------------------------------
Posted Monday, July 31, 2006 by ed:
"No disrespect to Spurs but he will have to push himself at United because he's
stepping up a level and there will be demands on him all the time. When you're
training with world-class players every day, you learn from them. If you have
got the capabilities - which Michael certainly has - then you adapt and lift
your level. Michael was used mainly as a holding midfielder at Spurs but I
expect Sir Alex to ask him to show more and become more of an all-round player.
He might be asked to get forward more and score goals, or become more of a
ball winner. Having worked closely with him, I know he's capable of doing that.
It was clear from the first time I saw Michael train that he was a rare talent.
The main thing that struck me about him was he always looked like he had time
on the ball. That might not sound like much, but it's something only a few
players have."

[41] Bayern on Ruud
---------------------------------
Posted Monday, July 31, 2006 by ed:
from BBC

'Bayern Munich have conceded they were priced out of a deal for Manchester
United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The 30-year-old Dutch international moved to Real Madrid on Friday after the
Spanish outfit paid £10.2m for him.

"If we had offered what United wanted, we would have had the player," said
Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness.

"But we would have had to do things that betray the philosophy of FC Bayern. I
was annoyed for a day but then I told myself life goes on."

The Bundesliga champions had upped their offer but were not willing to go any
further when Real came in with a counter-bid.

But Hoeness did reveal Van Nistelrooy had told him personally of his decision
to join Real.

"I thought that was a nice gesture," added Hoeness.

"He thanked me and said it was a very difficult decision but he didn't have the
strength to say 'No, I want to go to Bayern'."

Posted Monday, July 31, 2006 by ed:
"In my first season, it was an honour to play for United and I knew I had to
learn a lot. Personally, I think this season is more important. The kind of
play that I show will decide whether I remain [at United] or follow the
footsteps of other players who have left the team. This season I would like to
show visible results with goals or assists. The number of goals I make needs to
increase in multiples. I think I need to increase my number of assists by just
a few more. Just as my fans long for goals, I also want to put some in. If I
get the chance, I will go straight for a goal"
