Why do some rags seem to think they ever even had a chance of getting pep? Seem to think they could have just swanned up and he would have jumped at the chance. Arrogant pricks

And they also think the Glazers will bankroll a complete overhaul of the team, although a few of the more intelligent ones seem to understand that profit comes before trophies.

What you are quoting is from 2009. There have been further developments & SAF broke his silence in 2011.

You can choose not to believe. Knowing what we know about SAF & the press not one journo out there would dare put up false stories about his Utd business dealings. You only have to look at what happened to the BBC when they made false allegations.

So, just so I understand this, we shouldn't believe the official Manchester United announcement regarding Tevez, the one made at the time, that categorically states he WAS offered a new contract and turned it down. Instead, what we should be believing, is what your former manager said a few years later, most likely in an attempt to drum up some interest in a book he's had ghost written for him, despite it totally contradicting what the club itself told everyone had happened at the time? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

Heard a comment on the radio sports round up today that left me gobsmacked,

They led with a story about GPC backing Haverlanch(sp) for the Fifa elections, And at the end of the report added " and maybe of greater significance Russia have also given him their support.

I suspect that FIFA may have to evaluate who's opinion they value most.

I think it's Infantino he's backed, the bald guy who always does the Champion's League draws. Havelange is a former FIFA president, from the mid 70's to the late 80's, he's not up for nomination, probably because, come May, he'll be 100, which even by FIFA standards is probably a little too old!

That's why I call them the Trafford Ministry of Truth. If history is inconvenient, they simply try to rewrite it.

Come on now, Sir Alex is guilty of many things, but re-writing history is not one of them. Talking about the 6-1 thrashing by City in 2011 in his autobiography "My Big Dick"...

""There was never a point where City looked superior to us, they were not tearing us apart."

As this pic clearly shows, that's exactly how it was.

And he's been dead for nearly 18 years. There may be a loophole to allow him to stand, mind.
