Football gone mad? Viduka's wage and United THUMPED:)
Mark Viduka was asking for a salary which would equate to half the Middlesborough gate income when he was looking to extend his contract two years ago.
Wouldn't it be great if the clubs were restricted by their match-day crowd revenues to some extent. Then we may see more balanced leagues across the world, not-unlike the A-League, AFL and NRL.
For now just rejoice that the World's Second Richest Club Man United, got thumped 4-1 by Liverpool at home. It just felt good to see the team that is so good, purely because it can buy the best in the world, getting thumped.
Steve Gibson, Chairman of English Premier League club Middlesborough has explained the relationship of his club's match-day gate income with payments to players. Very little, it seems. Referring to the salaray request by the club's former striker Mark Viduka, Gibson claimed the player's agent had said Viduka would go to the highest bidder. "Mark Viduka is 32 on his next birthday and he was asking for a three-year contract and asking for a figure which, over a year, would equate to over half of our gate income," Gibson said. Viduka now plays for Newcastle.

You obviously don't like United mate - I'm sure Liverpool spend just as much (or at least if Rafa had his way they would) than United, so why don't you stop putting out this rot on the site and stick to real news.
all in jest surely..I have a couple of brothers who have season tickets to United so nice to wind them up, and also you get a bit fed up of all the Aussies soooo passionate for Man Utd, kinda makes me laugh given they are never able to go and watch them, and could have chosen 91 other teams to support...wonder why they didn't?
as for real news...this is a blog, it's a voluntary gig with me as the owner, writer and fat controller; and I can write what I want:)
as for real news well reckon you can find that elsewhere...
for now 4-1 United got thumped...enjoy it while it lasts:)
