Apparently he's made comments about laying down with the devil. He's getting criticised because everyone's saying they provided United with loads of money. That he shouldn't bite the hand that feeds etc.

Am I the only one that can see through that charade, and that he's laying the groundwork for them negotiating their own deal a la Barca and Real?

no - you're not - it's precisely what the radio pundits were saying as they discussed this on the lunchtime news...

Narrr thats what I said too at lunch time. If they keep making us play on tv we should get more money. I hope he spontaneously combusts or something soon, the evil bastard.

Not that I wouldn't see the funny side, but do you think that would alter the liklihood of United launching their own TV Channel showing their matches?

Make me.feel better though!
