On the Beckham thing i think fergie did the right thing,,when a player thinks he is bigger than a club then its time to pack his bags,,same thing happened with kean too..man utd arnt the force they were and will take a few years to build again,,arsenal the same,,the premisership changing due to the fact that everyone worries about the champions league(you know the league where 2nd,3rd,4th enter
)i know its alot of money but teams have to start worrying about league before any fancy dan cup money or not....
