There are some mind blowing quotes from Arsene Wenger in Tuesday's Daily Mirror.
Arsene Wenger is quoted as talking about how much he likes Lille's £30m-rated Eden Hazard, but
he basically says that Hazard is too expensive for Arsenal.

Six years ago to the day since Manchester United last failed to get out of their Champions
League group, the club suffered a frustrating defeat at the hands of FC Basel to finish 3rd in the
group tonight. A draw would have been enough to see United through but despite dominating the game,
they couldn't score more than one, after going 2-0 down.

Never in my wildest nightmares, never ever did I expect this. And yet it happened. Last night I

You wouldn't catch the Glazers digging trenches at their own ground, but at Buckley Town
we have to...
After two years of take, take, take, MirrorFootball has decided to give something back to the

Richard Bevan of England's League Managers Association inadvertently raised the frightening
prospect of a breakaway from the Premier League when he mentioned some club owners
wanted to do away with promotion to and relegation from the
Premier League.

The world is abuzz this morning with the shocking revelation that "foreign" English Premier
League owners would like to see an end to relegation. Among the league's foreign ownership are
several Americans, most notably the Glazers at United, Randy Lerner at Aston Villa, and Fenway
Sports Group at Liverpool.
The Glazer family discussed the possibility of individual selling of overseas television rights
with John W Henry and his colleagues at Liverpool before club chief executive Ian Ayre floated the
subject this week, The Daily Telegraph understands.
Ayre's suggestion that the biggest clubs in the league abandon the Premier League's collective
selling model and exploit their overseas rights individually has met with opposition from the
league and clubs concerned that it would ultimately weaken the competition.

Manchester United has been ranked as the most valuable sporting team in the world, according to
the findings of a new report.
Analysis from advisory firm Brand Finance shows that United's brand value has more than doubled
since the Glazers bought the club.
According to the report, published in The Times, United's brand value has risen from £197
million in 2005 to £412 million.
The 2011/12 football season is revolutionary in more ways than one. Not only are we seeing the rise
of the next great Manchester United team under the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson, and not

Premier League football club Manchester United has received permission from the Singapore
Exchange for a planned £634m listing in a deal that would include non-voting preference shares,
two sources with knowledge of the deal told Reuters on Friday.
Although precise details of United's plans are yet to be confirmed, it is thought the Glazer
family are looking to sell 25% of the club, which they hope will net them £600m.
After our last post on club ownership, some curious readers and tweeters have asked what exactly
is a "partial flotation" on a stock market? What does Manchester United plan to do? Generally, the
Red Devils want to go public, but not as publicly as we'd like. They want cash, but not
transparency.
Manchester United today posted record operating profits of £110.9million for the year ended
June 30, 2011.
The club have also recorded a record revenue of £334.1million, an increase of £45million from
last year and passing £300million for the first time. That £334.1million in revenue beat the
previous record of £313m that Arsenal had previously announced.

We like to paint the world in perfectly ordered opposites. On the one hand, as an American, I
have grown up with the cold familiarity of the franchise sports model. Here's how the cookie
crumbles in the States. Basically, a businessman (or woman) who has made billions in selling
chemicals or prescription drugs hits middle age, gets bored, doesn't want to start a foundation,
and picks a small Midwestern city to inject with happiness and PR via a sports team.
1. You don't forget days like this in a hurry. United could beat any side 8-2 and I'd be buzzing
but to beat Arsenal? Beautiful football playing Arsenal? Wow. I'd love a result like this over
Liverpool or City, obviously, but after our proper rivals, getting to absolutely thrash Arsenal is
as good as it gets.

As was rumoured earlier this week, it looks as though the Glazers are prepared to float on the
Singapore stock exchange.
United have lodged a listing application and the share sell off could be complete by the end of
the year.
The money raised by selling off this chunk of the club could then be used to pay off the PIKs,
reducing the club's debt.

The Sunday Times reported yesterday that the team is considering selling shares on the Hong Kong
stock exchange in a move that could potentially raise £1.7bn.
Selling shares via a stock float will allow the Glazers to take money out of the club without
selling the club or adding to the clubs debt.
The Glazer family, the American owners of Manchester United FC, have held talks with several
investment banks on a scheme to list the English Premier League champions on the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange. Bankers have reportedly advised that the listing could value the club at £1.7 billion
($2.6 billion), more than double what the Glazers paid for the club in 2005.

After losing the last real super star from the Premier League, this country's press circled like
vultures with their predictions of what would come of us. The exit of Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona,
David Beckham, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, amongst others, didn't bring about our decline, but
the press were keen to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo's departure meant that "the decline" had
begun.
A Day at Wembley Photo, Shoot Special is a post from: Just Football
Last week Just Football was kindly invited to go behind-the-scenes at Wembley
Stadium to soak up the atmosphere the day before European club football's showpiece event the 2011
Champions League final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United.
Earlier this week the Guardian Data Blog published financial data for the English Premier
League. They chose to go with the obvious story about how in debt the clubs are (and it's true, it
doesn't look good) while others have decided to look at the relationship between wins and wages
(also true, there is a correlation between the two).
With the Premiership Championship effectively in the grasp, Manchester United have topped the
Forbes list of the world's richest clubs for the last seven years and the latest survey
shows them once again in top position. The club is estimated to be worth £1.12bn.
It is interesting that the club has once again won the title and also got to the Champions
League final notwithstanding the fact that the Glazers are still in charge.
As another Premiership campaign winds down, most of the attention turns to those pitched
battles near the bottom of the table, where clubs play a game of Musical Chairs to see who is the
last one standing, or at the top where last gasps are exerted in the pursuit of shiny mugs
festooned with ribbons.
And so news has emerged that, as of next season, season ticket prices at Man United will be
increasing by £1 a game, with the rationale behind this decision being attributed to the rise in

Manchester United fans aren't usually the type to keep quiet when it comes to expressing their
anger at controversial decisions made by their owners, and it has proved no different this week,
with supporters' groups revealing their fury at the club's decision to increase the price of
tickets for next season by £1 per game.
Joel Glazer made the mistake of attributing lower ticket prices at Tampa Bay Bucs to listening
to the fans complaints a couple of weeks ago.
"We have spent a lot of time listening to fans at a time when our team is thriving and our
economy is not," said Joel Glazer. "As a result, we are now offering several pricing
changes in response to our community's needs.
The Glazers have revealed that they will lower ticket prices for Tampa Bay Bucs by as much as
30% after complaints from the fans.
"We have spent a lot of time listening to fans at a time when our team is thriving and our
