Excellent article - makes you appreciate Fergie and admire Berbatov's determination even more.

The day had begun in equally dramatic fasion. If Berbatov’s whereabouts were unknown when he was “not in the right frame of mind” to play in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw away to Chelsea on Sunday, then it became clearer yesterday morning when he landed in Manchester, supposedly to meet United — or their nearest rivals. City were suddenly flush with money — after a group of Abu Dhabi investors made a bid for the club — and were making offers for some of the best attacking players in the world. Tottenham, so reluctant to sell Berbatov to United anyway, were quick to accept City’s £32.5 million offer Would Berbatov be persuaded to dash his dream of playing and winning titles with United by the inevitable pots of cash on offer from City? Among the wild rumours whirling around yesterday was that Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, hijacked the City welcoming committee, which had been sent to meet Berbatov at the airport. The Bulgaria striker was then whisked to United’s Carrington training complex — near where City train — to meet Ferguson. As it emerged that Berbatov may have been having a medical, Tottenham, who were striving for information about the whereabouts of their player, were getting increasingly hot under the collar. They claimed that United had not been given permission to talk to the forward, because no bid had been accepted. Tottenham had turned down United’s £25 million offer two weeks ago. |

from the comments sections of that article:
"Man Utd should be relegated + docked points there is no doubt about this. Laugh at the Italians all you want but they cleaned up there game and these tap up kidknaps no longer happen. It's all been ventilated. As for match fixing, you seen the amount of goals scored by ex Fergie managers v United?" Neal Dixon, Ipswich, England |
