But Ferguson caught him and that was the end of Diego Forlans Old Trafford Career. Ferguson with his tantarum in the rom saw Forlan never played for Manchester United.

THEY PLAYED THE MOST WORLD CUPS EVER.

The Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas who is only 28 years old has broken the record for the most clean sheets kept by a Spanish goalkeeper for Spain. Casillas has kept a total of 57 clean sheets in a total of 98 games, he so now breaks the 56 clean sheets for Spain previously held by Andoni Zubizaretta the former Spain and Barcelona goalkeeper, who kept 56 clean sheets in 126 games for Spain.Andoni Zubizaretta played in 5 world cups from 1986 to 1998.And Iker Casillas has played in 3 world cups.And when we consider that Iker Casillas is only 28 years old he will surely play many more games.

MICHAEL PLATINI WANTS THE CLUBS TO BALANCE THEIR BOOKS.

Michael Platini the president of U.E.F.A wants the Europen football clubs to balance their books, as some clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City are just spending money , infact they both spent roughly 230 million pounds on footballers and Deolite have said that the 92 top clubs anual profit rose 350 percent in the year 2006/7.It was 779 million pounds, Manchester City have spent 220 million pounds in 12 months which is a huge amount.
Clubs according to Platini must learn to live within their limits. Take Liverpool have a debt of over 400 million pounds , Manchester United have a debt of 730 million pounds. So the smaller clubs will not be able to keep pace with the big ones.Chelsea have 700 million debt.
So clubs must use only what they make and thats all. Platini has said if a club fails to balance its books for three years in a row, then they will be expelled from Europen football competition.
And suprisingly all the main spenders have strongly supported Platini. Massimo Moratti of Inter Milan, Silvio Berusconi, and Roman Abramovich all come forward to support Platini .

F.I.F.A WILL LOOK INTO MANCHESTERS POACHING.

Well after Chelsea were fined and banned from buying or taking any footballer on loan till the January transfer of 2011. Now it looks like Manchester United will also follow in the same way.As the French club Le Havare have now accused Manchester United of poacing their very young footballer Paul Poyba from Le Havare.
It is said that Manchester United have paid the father 100,000 Euros and the mother was paid 100,000 Euros as well and a new house in Manchester as well , the mother has already shifted into this house. Paul Poyba will get 4,000 pounds a week as salary once he reaches the age of 17 years when he will be allowed to play.
Roma former coach Luciano Spalletti had angry words for Ferguson as Roma boys were also taken from their clubs at 14,15 years. And also do not forget the Brazilian pair of D, Silva twins. As Manchester says this is all nonsense . So let F.I.F.A be the judge ,it took two long years for Chelsea to be punished . And some big clubs to may face the music like Real Madrid.

MORINHO NO LONGER THE HIGHEST PAID COACH.

Jose Mourinho has been dethroned as the highest paid coach in the world, at Inter Milan in Italy, At Inter Milan Mourinho would get a yearly salary of about 11 Eleven million Euros. But the new highest paid coachin the world is non other then the Brazilian coach of the world cup winners in 2002 Brazil and as well as Chelsea in England. Luis Felipe Scolari has now joined a club in Uzbekistan and the name of the club is Bunydko , ast a yearly salary of 13, thirteen million Euros.
As Uzbekistan is another rich oil country we can see some hig prices for players and clubs.

BARCELONA WANTED TO SIGN ARJEN ROBBEN BUT?

The Spanish giants wanted to sign Arjen Robben from Real Madrid . As Real Madrid have now got the winger Christiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for 80 million pounds, Arjen Robben was then considered as a surplus player at Real Madrid. But Real Madrid were not keeen to sell Arjen Robben to their arch rival Barcelona, so they very cunningly sold him to the German giants Bayern Munich, he would then be there as a a player only in the Champion League only.

ADRIAN MUTU IS TOLD TO PAY CHELSEA 17 MILLION EUROS.

The Romanian striker Adrian Mutu who plays for the Italian club Fiorentina in Florence had played for both Chelsea as well as Juventus before joining Fiorentina.
He joined from Pharma for a huge sumand was brought by Jose Mourinho. He then fell out with Mourinho and was involved in a failed drug test for cocaine. Chelsea then fined him and also made face a lengthy ban from playing.
Now the Court of Arbitation have slapped a fine on Mutu which is 17 million Euros a huge amount for any footballer to pay. The figure was taken to the amount Chelsea claimed to have lost on Mutu in todays rate of the Euro.Mutu says today only four or five footballers will have that money to pay. Here we must remember the fee was decided by Chelsea and Pharma Mutu had no say in it , so the this is ridicolous .
Now Mutu and Chelsea have come to a compromise at the end. They will hold a football match between Fiorentina , Chelsea, Juventus and Steaua Bucarest.And the sale of tickets and the full telivision rights earnings will go to Chelsea to pay for Mutu.
But let me ask you all aquestion Adrian Mutu served his punishment by a huge fine and a long bann I think it was six months, Rio Ferdinand servesd eight months in 2004 for not doing a drug test. Did Manchester United treat him shabily , noand we have seen how well he served them. This is to harsh on Mutu even fans said they would come to pay for him how loyal of them.

THE PANDORA BOX IS NOW OPENED BY F.I.F.A.

Chelsea have been warned by F.I.F.A well in advance about the ban and fine Chelsea are now facing, mainly for the poaching of young and talented stars from smaller clubs around the world.Now F.I.F.A says that if Chelsea does go ahead and apeal against the ban as well as the two fines imposed on the club, it is okay. But incase it does apeal and then it does loose the case , in that case Chelsea could face a far longer ban and a two higher fines as well. F.I.F.A also clearly warn that this is just the tip of the iceberg and this case took two full years to end , even Manchester United are in the list.
This will be a wake up call to all clubs that poaching young talent will not be allowed, as in some cases 15 year boys are promised to join big clubs and the clubs talk to their parents.This must stop.

THE HIGHEST PAID NON FOOTBALLER IS?

The highest paid non playing footballer in Italy is none other then Jose Mourinho THE SPECIAL ONE. Now Jose Mourinho becomes the highest paid non playing footballer in Italy . He is earning 9.6 million pounds a year, that is more than what Ronoldhino or even Francesco Totti make in a year.Can you imagine a manager getting that much?

EDUARDO GETS A TWO MATCH BAN.

Eduardo the Brazilian and now a Croatian , but plays his club football for Arsenal. Eduardo was banned by U.E.F.A for two champion league matches. Eduardo dived in the second leg of the champion qualifying match with Celtic, The Spanish referee gave the penalty , he thought that Artur Boruc brought Eduardo down. The U.E.F.A used rule 10/1 C in which it states that a player trying to deceive the offical will be banned for two games. Please kindly note will you that it says nothing of banning the coach , as Stan Collymore and others are after Arsene Wengers blood as well and want long term bans. It can only be two games Mr Stan Collymore.
My Question here is sinnce when did the law exist with U.E.F.A Players in the big clubs have got away scot free , players like Dider Drogba, Luis Figo, and of course Christiano Ronaldo , or do these big clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Chelsea have a different U.E.F.A rule book Mr Platini. Arsene Wenger wanted a moniter used as they now have it in all sports M r MIchael Platini said that would kill the game, if it had come this year we would not face this problems.
I would like to know why the referees do not consult the linesmen and the fourth referee before giving a penalty. Mr Gonsales defended his decission to give the penalty strongly, as he was wrong , U.E.F.A should bann him for two games as well.But this will never ever happen, as referees are U.E.F.A employees and are paid about 500 pounds per match.

CHELSEA ARE BANNED FROM SIGNING ANYBODY TILL JANUARY 2011.

The English club Chelsea are banned from signing any new player for the club till the January transfer window in 2011. This is because the French club appealed to F.I.f.A , over the signing Chelsea made of the Lens winger Gael Kakuta in 2007. F.I.F.A D.R.C. That is Dispute Resoloution Chamber have now said Chelsea and Kakuta will now jointly have to pay Lens club780,000 Euros or 682,000 pounds as compensation. Chelsea must now also paytraining compensation to Lens a sum of 130,000 Euros or 114,000 Pounds.
F.I.F.A D.R.C have also said that Chelsea induced Kakuta to brak his contract with Lens and Chelsea also played a part in it.
Chelsea have said they will look into the matter.
But what will happen to Chelsea is this , this summer they did not buy many players only a Russian deffender. So in the next two years Drogba , Deco and some others who are already 30 years will face problems.

THE BALANCE SHHET NEWS.

The English premier league spent a total of 504 million Euros on their playersBut the clubs spent 100 million Euros more last year.
1) Manchester City and its Dubai oil money helped them to spend 140 million Euros. But at the same time they only recovered 13.62 million Euros from selling players.
2)Liverpool have spent 45.40 million Euros. And the club have recovered the same amount from sales. The sale of Xavi Alonso to Real Madrid for about 30 million Euros did help them. But the two American Owners of Liverpool have debt of over 400 million Euros.But at the same time Liverpool players like Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Xavier Maschareno have been given better wages to keep them at the club.
3) Manchester United have spent about 22.70 million Euros and have collected a total of 94.75 million Euros. They are not keen to throw any money around at these times.
But the Glazers are in a debt of over 730 million Euros.
4) Chelsea have spent 22.12 million Euros. and recoverd only6.80 million Euros.But both John Terry and Ashley Cole were given huge wage increase that is each will get 150,000 pounds a week as salary.
5) Arsenal have spent 11.35 million Eurosand have recovered 46.5 million Euros.Helped by the sale of Kolo Toure and Emanuel Adebayor.
The Primera Liga clubs have spent 477 million Euros. Real Madrid and Barcelona have spent a total of 75 percent of the money Spanish clubs paid.
1) Real Madrid spent 250 million Euros.
2) Barcelona spent110 million Euros.
3) Valencia the last club in Spain to win a La liga title beside Real Madrid or Barcelona in the year 2003.Have spent 7.5 million Euros.

In Italy Serie A clubs spent 422 million Euros. on players.
In Germany clubs spent 220 million Euros.
In France Clubs spent 245 millio Euros.

WHY DO SPAIN AND ITALY HAVE BETTER FOOTBALLERS.

Both the Spanish and then Italian football clubs have a far better share of footballers then the English football clubs.
The main reason for this is that England have a larger tax payment by the footballers then in Spain or Italy. In England the footballers are now paying 40 percent of their earnings and from April 2010 it will be 50 percent, or half their earnings.
Because of this clubs will have to pay the players more as Arshavin has asked Arsenal for a better pay.

STAN COLLYMORE SAYS EDUARDO SHOULD SERVE A LONGER BAN.

Stan Collymore the former Liverpool striker says that the Arsenal and Croation striker should be banned for a longer time then just two games. But Stan Collymore also says that Arsene Wenger should also serve a long time bann for supporting Eduardo DSilva.
But there must have been something in the fall of Eduardo Dsilva to let the Spanish referee give that penalty in Arsenal favour.As these falls happen fast on the pitch a monitor must be used. And as I have always said in these blogs of mine . That the referee must consult both the linesmen before giving a penalty even if some time is lost . I also would like to know if Stan Collymore never ever dived in his football career at Liverpool. Now if you take Christiano Ronaldo he always dived and got free kicks and penalties for Manchester United. If you are going to give long bans many footballers will not be playing, they will be banned.And will serve their long bans.

JOHN TERRY SIGNS A NEW CONTRACT.

John Terry the England and Chelsea defender and captain , has now signed a new contract at Chelsea for a period of five years. Now that he is already 28 twenty eight years old, he will now be at Chelsea till the year 2014, and will also end his football career at Chelsea the club he joined as a 14 fourteen year old boy.
He will get a new weekly salary of 150,000 pounds a week. This will make him one of the highest paid footballer in Chelsea, may be getting a little less then Frank Lampard as the highest weekly paid salary among the Chelsea players.
There was a fear in the Chelsea fans hearts as the rich Dubai Company the owners of Manchester City , were very keen to tempt him from Stamford Bridge to their Eastlands, with a huge salary of 200,000 pounds a week. But gladly John Terry saw at Chelsea he would play Champion League matches and not at Manchester City.
