Powerful people do anything they can to protect their power. Obviously, Mr. Blatter is a powerful, albeit stupid, person and right now he feels threatened.

He has these absolutely ‘genius’ ideas which he feels he must share with the public so he can bask in his perceived ‘glory’. If these notions are not widely accepted (see Slavery) or possible (see Player Foreign Quotas) then he refuses to admit he’s wrong and instead finds a scapegoat. Right now that scapegoat is none other than The Greatest Fucking Football Team in the World: Manchester United.

Manchester United have always been a club that people love to hate. From these people’s point’s of view we have never really earned a title and instead have found some way to cheat the system. I attribute this to them not being able to imagine a club being so good, and their petty brains being incapable of comprehending what United are really about (down-to-Earth players who would rather sit on the bench at United than be a star for another team or make more money? Blasphemy!!!)

Back to the point. “Blatini” are using Manchester United as a scapegoat as the reason for their unpopular/impossible ideas failing. First came the comment that clubs in debt shouldn’t be allowed to compete in the Champions league, next was the whole foreign player quota piece of shit idea, and lastly the whole Ronaldo fiasco. In each of these incidents Blatini has always taken the stance opposite to what Manchester United wish.

to be continued…

Hitler and Mugabe both knew/know EXACTLY what they’re doing.

Blatter, however, doesn’t have any idea what so ever.

I have a friend who for years has been a full on United supporter. He has turned his back on English football because, understandably, he believes we’re in a lose/ lose situation.

It is a really sad time for football.

Maybe a few reminder emails would help!!!!!!

It funny considering in March he was going on about how players should have to honour their contracts!!!!

United: A Scapegoat for Premiership Witch-hunt

With all the current demaening and undermining media-bashing United is recieving this summer from the so-called leaders of the Footballing world; Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Roman Calderon, it is hard not to point out the correlation between this and the emerging dominance of the Premiership. It is not a hidden fact that the balance of power in the footballing world is gradually shifting towards England, with our teams occupying three of the four semi-finals slots, and finally both of the final slots culminating in an English club lifting the Champions league trophy.

This triumph for the premiership however didn’t sit well with those at the top of Footballs’ governing bodies; Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini. Ever since that Champions league Final, there have been serial & unending ‘Anti-English’ comments and proposals by those two.

Let’s start with Sepp Blatters’ 6 + 5 rule. When did the amount of foreign players in a Club team become such a problem? Arsenal, Inter Milan and others have been doing it for seasons and nothing seemed to be wrong with it, but as soon as two English teams made the Champions League Final, it all of a sudden became a pressing issue. It can be argued that English teams possess an unfair advantage with the amount of money being poured into our league by foreign investors, thereby requiring the teams to get top quality players, which might or might not be English, but why should we be punished for trying to strive for excellence? Are we not responsible for the increased awareness and popularity of football around the globe?

Also there’s the Platini idea of ‘Re-negotiating the Champions League Prize-money’. Why has this issue never come up before last years’ Champions League Final? Apparently, it is because three premiership teams( who played football with other teams fairly ) were in the semi-finals and hence took a large proportion of the CL prize-money. Is it not UEFA that set up these rules and rewards, so why is it a problem when a set of teams are reaping the benefits. In fact, during the 1999-2000 season, they were three Spanish teams in the semi’s and an all-Spain final, yet no one complained; also during the 2002-2003 campaign the same thing happened with the italians and still no one complained. However, when the English with their ‘billionaire-backed’ clubs acheived the same feat, it is unfair, like the top Spanish and Italian teams don’t have wealthy financial backing.

Then there’s the Ronaldo saga, with Calderons’ demaening and undermining tactics. This guy has broken every rule in the ‘Club Relations and Ethics’ book. Even reporting him to FIFA didn’t slow him down; but why should it, apparently FIFA sees nothing wrong with an opposing club publicly commanding and trying to undermine a club in an attempt to acquire it’s prized asset. It has got to the point that Calderon is accusing Manchester of trying to rob Ronaldo of his ‘dream’ and also lying publicly, saying they have already signed him. What is FIFAs’ response? Sepp Blatter comes out to say we are ‘enslaving’ Ronaldo and should let him go. If i’m not mistaken, did he not just sign a contract renewal which entitled him to an increased salary of £120,000 a week? Is that slave money? I beleive it was UEFA that created the Bosman Law which was intended to allow clubs to keep players and also allow the players to leave within two or three years of their contract expiration dates, depending on their age. Ronaldo just signed a contract extension till 2012, so don’t we have the right to refuse the transfer request; isn’t that why the rule was created?

I understand that there is a status quo in the footballing world where only a niche of clubs who were really suceessful in the past reign over all. The scene is changing and understandably, these clubs are trying to fight it, but if the top Footballing organisations can’t take a neutral stance, how can they crticise us for using foreign multi-millionaire backing to propel us into excellence. United is not the only English club suffering here; look at Arsenal and their players, Flamini went to AC milan and Adebayor is also considering the same move when the team is not even in the Champions league!!!

As far as i’m concerned, Blatter, Platini and Calderon can come up with all the propaganda they want, United will continue to dominate Europe and so will the Premiership. We might have strong financial backing but so do the top teams in Europe and wer’e going to break their stronghold on European Football by playing on the pitch and winning the trophies, no matter who we have representing us, Foreign or English!!
