Not For Sale by RED KELLY
The other day I received my copy of "Not For Sale - Manchester United.
Murdoch and the Defeat of BSkyB" by Adam Brown and Andy Walsh. Trouble was
we are dead busy at the moment and so I've been trying my best not to pick
it up as I had an idea I wouldn't be able to put it down.
I left it on the kitchen table and during our lunch break the day it
arrived, our co-worker Koo, had been reading it. He said he'd be back in
the studio as soon as he'd finished the paragraph. Half an hour later he
arrived back admitting he hadn't been able to drag himself away. Mid
afternoon he went down to make a cup of tea and the very same thing
happened. I had to hide the damned thing from him!
But try as I might to keep away from the book, the other night I succumbed,
picked it up and started to read. OK - so I was involved all the way
through the campaign and was party to a great deal of what was going on,
but if anyone wants a superbly written and obviously well researched
insight into how the campaign was conducted, or the reasons behind it etc.,
then get hold of a copy of this book from IMUSA - you surely won't be
disappointed.
It's compelling stuff about how the club was saved from under the cold nose
of the dirty digger. And after you've read it and assimilated what it has
to say, imagine what life as a Manchester United supporter would have been
like if the club had been sold to BSkyB and thus lost it's independence. It
doesn't bear thinking about.
As the book says: "This book is dedicated to everyone who contributed
anything, however large or small, to the defeat of BSkyB's takeover of
Manchester United" - I second that.
Cheers
RED KELLY

Which Cup would you prefer to see UNITED compete for:
FA Cup 49 57.0%
World Club Cup in Brazil 37 43.0%
Total: 86
Closed 08-Nov-99 08:00 EDT
The FA CUP won but it was fairly close? Seems that some REDS
have accepted the fact that UNITED will now travel to Brazil
in the new year.

Neville back on the mend ««
Gary Neville is back in training and says he is close to a return after
revealing that a club statement about his fitness had been misleading.
Neville is hoping it will be third time lucky as he sets his sights on
another comeback to revive his shattered season.
Neville: On fitness trail
The England and Manchester United right full back has had a nightmare
campaign so far, playing just two full senior games since last May.
He has not managed to complete a single Premiership game this season, his
only league outing being the 80 minutes he played against Newcastle on
August 30.
Last week, of course, United said he had been struck down by a recurrence
of the groin problem which forced him out of England's plans during the
summer, and delayed his start to the season.
It seems this is not the case and Neville says it does not mean another
long lay off.
He says he felt the injury had not fully healed and was told to do more
build up work rather than rush back into serious action.
Because of this he told Kevin Keegan he would not be available for the
England - Scotland Euro 2000 play-offs, and pulled out of United's squad
for last weekend's game against Leicester City.
He is eager to get back into the game after his longest ever lay off and is
close to making it.
The only senior football the elder of the Neville brothers has played since
the Champions' League final in Barcelona was the European Super Cup final
against Lazio in August, and the Champions' League game against Sturm Graz
on November 2.

Fergie's transfer foray on hold ««
Sir Alex Ferguson faces a grilling at next week's annual meeting as to why
the promised 'World star' has not arrived at Old Trafford.
There may still plenty of transfer talk circulating Old Trafford, but it
seems the rumour mongers had been working overtime when they predicted a
move in the market before next week's annual meeting.
Last week speculation was rife that Sir Alex Ferguson could be ready to add
to his squad before the club's shareholders ask what happened to the big
name he promised them in the summer. The United boss had said, after
completing the treble, that he hoped to reward the fans by bringing in a
World star.
Any potential deals failed to materialised and the only close-season
signings were Mark Bosnich who cost nothing, and Quinton Fortune the young
South African signed from Atletico Madrid.
Biggest signing this season has been Italian goalkeeper Massimo Taibi who
cost £4 million in August, but his future looks uncertain.
The Sicilian is currently in the Reserve side and due to play against
Everton Reserves at Gigg Lane tomorrow as the majority of his first team
colleagues are away on international duty.
His much publicised errors in the games against Liverpool, Southampton and
Chelsea have seen him slip out of the limelight and he is now third in line
behind Bosnich and Raimond van der Gouw.
As for the big name signing, United could be waiting until the UEFA curfew
lifts in December before making a move for a player who would be eligible
for the quarter-finals of the Champions' League.

No prob with Yorkie Andy is scoring them instead!
If Yorkie starts again it will be Andy's turn & vice versa, just as ling as
MUFC are winning :))

Yorke(39), Cole(42,50), Irwin(44)(penalty). Giggs played brilliantly!
Barry
"What has to be appreciated is that in certain games this season, Yorke
has been asked to go wider, and allow Cole/Solskjaer to play through the
middle. His goalscoring chances have lessened because of this."

"Close Encounter of the Fulham kind" sent to The Theatre of Dreams
>>>>
From: "brian palmer"
To:
some fans who don`t hate Man.u
I don`t know if its of any interest to you but when i was travelling home
to birmingham on the train last week after the Leicester game , some Fulham
supporters sat by me , they had been to Stockport where they were beaten
2-1 , so I didn`t think they would be very happy! but, we started chatting
, and these guys must be some of the keenest supporters I have come across,
I have travelled some miles over the years following the reds , but , these
lads left me for dead, the one in particular has visited 83 english league
grounds and 9 scottish grounds, one of the ones he has missed is villa
park, but the way john gregory`s going he may get there next year! Usually
when I talk to supporters of other teams the inevitable question who do you
support ? arises, when I reply Man.u. this is usually met with streams of
abuse and the conversation comes to a halt ! but not so with these lads,
they were genuinely interested in what was happening in all aspects of life
at O.T.and had many pleasant memories of watching us as neutrals as well as
in games against us, particularly Barcelona last season.I felt very
encouraged that perhaps everyone isn`t agains`t us as is usually the case,
mind you its one of the few occasions in 24 years !!
Best wishes

Bosnich defies wisdom ««
Mark Bosnich missed training today, resting his hamstring injury before he
captains Australia against Brazil this weekend.
The United keeper seems set to defy club wisdom and play against the
Brazilian under-23 side, also featuring Ronaldo and Denilson, in two
matches at the Sydney Olympic Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Sir Alex Ferguson revealed how Bosnich was suffering from knee and
hamstring injuries after United's 2-0 win over Leicester last weekend.
But any thoughts about pulling the keeper out of the squad were stopped in
their tracks after the controversy over Leeds' refusal to let Harry Kewell go.
Bosnich said: "Players are always going to get grumbles from clubs about
the time of the matches and the travel involved. The problem won't go away.
"The players are the meat in the sandwich in these situations."
If Bosnich plays in the second game in Melbourne on Wednesday he would not
return for training until the day before United's trip to Derby - which may
give Rai van der Gouw or Massimo Taibi a chance to start.
