Souness - an Accident Waiting to Happen

From being a Newcastle fan you learn to live more in the hope of hopes, but all he does, the application shall be entertained. Graeme Souness was on the edge of the bag from Blackburn Rovers in August 2004 and again walk the public relations disaster Newcastle United and part-time chairman, Freddie Shepherd, in his infinite wisdom, decided to pay the club services Lancashire man! 1.65 and later with several lucrative contracts sorted Entourage Souey Clueless old timer, some supporters and their "yes" man, Dean Saunders, Newcastle United Souness proudly presented to the press. The new director has spoken in glowing terms about the club and was proud that his son would grow with a strong Geordie accent strong. Actually, it was probably surprised that someone had once again him.With Daft enough to employ one of the best friends camp CRIMPER Souness' be Dale Winton, there is no doubt that the Scottish fire could do a concert or something Supermarket sweep by the proof of his equally remarkable talent. That is, if you are not angry with Dale gaining attention as a result of a pitch two feet in front of a shopping cart. The only time I've asked Dale Winton a favor came not through me, damn.There not been the same Tyneside crowd noise that is usually offered as a new manager Souness made his first appearance in the SJP. Keegan and Robson was hailed as saviors, Dalglish was warmly received and all the wigs made by Ruud Gullit. Not this time, however, although Souness's former club hammered Mags '3 -0 (Souness was officially on "gardening leave). Blackburn Rovers have been a disaster of that day, and many observers questioned how the evil that was to be able to enter that state. Our new leader sitting in the stands along with a radiant smile to a child she was carrying a full kit of Newcastle, perhaps hoping to quicken the pace of her boyfriend, soon to be Geordie accent. Fans knew then that the president does not appear until the last weeks of tenure Souness - it was an accident waiting to happen.In my mind there is no doubt that Sir Bobby Robson had passed its sell by date long before was dismissed from his job as Gaffer. Not because he was a man of 71 years he has forgotten the names of people who were doing that in his 50 as England coach (Bryan Robson once called "Bobby" to which the captain replied, "No Man, six Bobby, I'm Bryan! "), but because there was no sense in making tactical decisions and had everything, but looked tired. With this in mind should Robson has said that his time was up to the end of the 2003-2004 season and may have changed from grace. But he was fired just four games in a season, the third consecutive Toon manager to be ousted after a handful of games.Despite start of the season all the concerns for the new man, Souness started well and the club went ten games unbeaten under address. A number of fans were willing to accept him, and yet there has been a general feeling of skepticism in the air to the north-east. Mark Hughes at Blackburn has been installed and immediately commented on how his players were unfit and that he was scared by the stories he had heard of training before his arrival. Most people took his speech with a pinch of salt for now, only later appeared apt.It was only a matter of time before someone who was angry Souness and Craig Bellamy volatility, the club-shaped and not even more open. Bellamy has boasted that the players who fake injuries and refuse to play the way he felt he was being wasted on the wing instead of his favorite role in front, Souness responded by closing the competition against Arsenal at Highbury . Souey said he was willing to forgive and forget the time that the player also has an interview with Sky Sports and said his manager: "I went to the back just in front of my face." Of course, this has proved two things: - 1. Craig Bellamy is as smart as a monkey with Alzheimer's disease and 2. Man management skills are appalling.So Bellers Souness was sent on loan to Celtic and, in many ways, this was the beginning of the end. The team is now lacking creativity and rhythm.

Liverpool FC: A Season Review

IntroductionAfter spectacular and unforgettable night in Istanbul when Liverpool were crowned European champions for the fifth time, expectations were designed to be high for next season. Surely the fans wanted a significant improvement in the championship, after the disappointment of finishing fifth in the season 2004/2005. Another good season in Europe, along with strong races in national cup competitions in the 2005/2006 season would be successful. Well, the season, and this should show if it was a successful season for the prime minister's campaign Reds.PremiershipThe Reds' can be considered a huge success, especially when compared to last season. Last season, Liverpool had finished a massive 37 points behind champions Chelsea. Not even close to be considered as candidates for the original title. This season, Rafa Benitez has failed to change the fate of their national team to drastically reduce the gap between them and Chelsea only 9 points. If they continue at this pace, Liverpool will be champions come May 2007. In addition to his pride in improving the adequacy of the points, although Liverpool have moved the table from fifth to third place, the place is missing the Champions League with one point. The team was criticized last year for his lack of wins away from Anfield. In fact, managed just five wins away last season. This season has seen a marked improvement in this area, with Liverpool having won twice this amount. Form versus Kop Liverpool has been nothing short of brilliant. They only lost one of its 19 games this season. Anfield has become a fortress again. The 2005/2006 season also saw the defense of Benitez, who was congratulated on his splendid performance. Liverpool conceded only 25 goals this season, a feat surpassed only by Chelsea. This is what champions are made of a rock solid defense. Benitez made it clear that in mind, as it strives to create a team that can beat Chelsea at the top. He was able to maintain its tight defense throughout the season. As the boys from Merseyside have been exceptional, basically, the same can not be said of his attack. They have always been criticized for their lack of goals, with the exception of a spell towards the end of the season when there have been 15 goals in 5 games. This problem has cost them some valuable points.Champions form LeagueLiverpool in Europe was far from what we did last season, but having said that, it's probably almost impossible to have a European campaign that way. However, it was a bad season in Europe. Liverpool played well during the group stage and went tapas in a group that includes the likes of Chelsea and Real Betis. However, there was no repeat of last season as the Reds crashed out of the tournament was in the next round, when they were defeated by Benfica. What could be better, but the European season has been closer to a disaster.League CupThe League Cup was a disappointment, with the premature removal of the finalists of last season. However, the importance of this pair does not match the other competitions that Liverpool raced in. One consequence of the initial departure was that the younger players from the youth team have failed to obtain some valuable first team experience.FA CupThe FA Cup, meanwhile, was a great success in every way. Liverpool once again proved to be the king again, not once but twice. First, in the third qualifying round tie against Luton, when the Reds fought back to win 5-3, with two spectacular goals from Xabi Alonso, one of which was characterized by its own half of field. Liverpool beat Portsmouth in the next round, before securing a 1-0 victory over arch-rivals Manchester United. This was followed by the 7-0 demolition of Steve Bruce, Birmingham City, a result that showed everyone that Liverpool can effectively targets (which were criticized for their lack of goals in this period). The next, a struggle against the self-proclaimed "Special One '. Well, Benitez once again proved that he is more than a match for his Chelsea counterpart, beating the Blues to create a clash against West Ham in the final. That was be the final game! 2-0 at halftime, Liverpool struggled to level the score, only to fall behind again. All hope seemed lost, as time is passing. Then, deep in the parking time, who else But Steven Gerrard sends a blast of exhaust

"I think I found a genius", I sincerely explained.He had. But neither Bishop, Busby nor anybody could have imagined the impact of your skin and bones, the discovery of fifteen years, would make the Manchester United soccer worldwide and whole.On society in the recommendation of the bishop " genius, George Best, was sent to Manchester, with another prospect, Eric McMordie, for a two week trial. unnerved by his journey into the unknown and only young scarpered nostalgia back to Belfast before the first week he had through.Busby seen enough to know that one of these men are worth following and the United boss George Best wrote his father asking him to send his son back to Manchester, assuring him that George was what they wanted to enjoy a bright future in game.This was very strong early indication of increased capacity are exceptional.

Not only confidence, that he was arrogant. Extremely confident in their abilities to center stage and said he liked to do it.This attitude has caused resentment among his colleagues and immediately recognized his incredible talent and, of course, deferred to them.

As the words quickly filtered through the first teamers at Old Trafford this amazing guy in the youth team who secretly watched him train and left shaking his head in his ability.Matt Busby was anxious not to blood his girlfriend more Later wonderful, too soon, but could not keep him off the long side. He had just turned seventeen George Best made his first team debut at the start of the 1963-64 season and played a blind against West Bromwich Albion.Perhaps Woori about the scandal had its introduction, Busby then left out of computer before him an appointment as a reminder of Christmas at home to Burnley. Burnley were a top team in the time and had hammered United at Turf Moor only two days earlier on Boxing Day. Best score with his first United goal defeat was returned and the boy was here stay single for the rest of the season saw George Best confirm his incredible talent and the end of it United finished second in the league. Best amazing.Crowds impact was everywhere marveled at this wing of the legendary thin man, who could not make a hard ball, fight evil, or even most of the time. A child who might appear in the central and mid central outjump international head goals past international goalkeepers and could draw shot in the back of the net in a blur that almost defeated the appeal is not limited to eye.His football field. Best was an exceptionally good handsome young man, well, all at once to girls across the country became interested in football, at least to the extent of the images of George Best printed in his bedroom a couple walls.Within years, this interest would become something akin to hysteria and George Best, the footballer and the man begins to crack under the pressure.Best 's first full season in the United first team was an exciting experience as the Club captured the first division championship and reached the semifinals of the FA and two Fairs Cups, losing to Leeds United and Ferencvaros in Hungary, after all was not yet replays.He nineteen was better but perhaps the most recognizable figure and spoken in the world of British soccer, but in the following season that his hunger really exploded and became a mild international.On night in Lisbon, George Best turned in one of his greatest ever performances as United slaughtered Benfica for 5 -1 in its own soil, the first time he had suffered a home defeat in European competition. Best made two first objectives set United on their way, leaping in front of the goalkeeper's head before cutting the defense slide at home walking down the second.Captured

City fans are quick to point out, however, that the research study was conducted before the team moved to the largest city in the city of Manchester Stadium. As a result, nobody is really sure which team is more popular among the locals. The truth is that, with regard to supporting national and international concerns, United has a much larger fan base City.To be perfectly honest, Manchester United is the kind of rich sports history and fulfilled can make any child of a proud mother of Manchester. They were one of the most successful football clubs in English soccer history, winning the FA Premier League / Football League 15 times and the FA Cup 11 times. In addition, Manchester United won the League Cup twice, twice a European Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup once, the Intercontinental Cup, European Super Cup once, and a tribute to national popularity once.As United, the club has held the record for highest average attendance in the world of English football for over 34 years.

The club nearly went bankrupt in 1902, but was saved by JH Davies, who later changed the name of team like Manchester United. During the Second World War, the Old Trafford football was heavily bombed, leaving America without a stadium. They had to seek help from their neighbors, then more famous, Manchester City, and both teams shared their Maine Road stadium, home to a time.The appointment of Sir Matt Busby as manager after the U.S. war . was a turning point in the sort of athletic team. Busby introduced the practice of wiretapping youth team players in the club, then an unknown practice, but soon gave impressive results, as the team just won the soccer championship in 1956 and 1957. The race ended in 1958 after the Munich air disaster Monaco tragic, when eight players were left to putrefaction.

History of Middlesbrough Football Club

Middlesbrough Football Club was founded in the 19th century. The club has various degrees of success, but it was not until the day before the 2nd World War the team was in good enough shape to fight for the most important trophies. The team honored by the likes of England international George Hardwick and Wilf Mannion, but never won a trophy, is said to have been able to go to win the championship had it not been for the outbreak of war. It was not until the '70s became the club had a degree of success again. This kit contains the likes of David Armstrong and Greame Souness trained by the great Jack Charlton formally Word Cup winners England were the best seen for a while. Promotions have seen in this period, even if there has been no trophies impressive to behold. In '80, the club almost went into liquidation, and if not for the financial support of the consortium led by President and successful entrepreneur Steve Gibson hours after the club was gone. A major impetus for the rebirth of the club in 1986 has been appreciated funds from the sale of a number of young talents coming from the quarry, including but not limited to, Gary Pallister and Colin Cooper. In the following years after taking over 'Boro "as affectionately known by his fans was reinforced as a team good enough to get out of the League of 2 levels, but not enough to stay in the highest league for a long time. An example of this yo-yoing nature is the inclusion of boron in the same year 1 of the Premier League but the fall one year later. Boro drew in 1994, probably its high-profile manager so far as England and former Manchester United captain, Brian Robson. By using the crutch of the team that let him wave his predecessor Lennie Lawrence as decent as good professionals Nigel Pearson and Steve Vickers, who was brought in, led the team in the Premiership. A new season in the top league and move to a new stadium of 30,000 seats, all saw a new sense of faith and optimism around the city. This sense of conviction was supported by the funds and then capture the likes of England international Nick Barmby and Juninho's great that the club has one of the best teams in a long time. Boro should remain non-league, in the following years, and catch the likes of Fabrizio Ravinelli Champions League and Brazilian Emerson power of football fever was taking over the city. Riding the support that the team has been a great run in both the league and the cup. Disastrous Heartache follow shortly and although Boro came the final hurdle in both cups, and to top it all be deducted 3 points for missing his team against Blackburn has been relegated back to the club at Level 2 . While the drop would see the team lose Juninho and Emerson, were able to capture the profile of Paul Merson and high hopes still high, the club was dominant in both the League and League Cup to see win direct promotion back to the top league and reach the final of the Carling Cup. The following season would see Boro to maintain their Premier League status, but after seeing the results every time worst seasons ending with the decision of the Board to give experienced former England manager Terry Venables to work with Reyes. The decision paid off and the club was to avoid relegation. Support for the club was in decline and, although the change was planned. The result is the sacking of Robson reluctant and placing on the Manchester United assistant manager Steve McLaren. McLaren bring a random selection of solidarity with his strong work ethic and love of professionalism. Soccer is boring to watch, but the team was not looking like relegation material. With this new professionalism and continued financial support of the club could strengthen its position in the top league, leaving behind the yo-yo years. Another Cup final soon followed and this time leaving Boro were the winners with their first ever major trophy in the shape of the League Cup. This victory would see first Boro ever qualification for Europe. The following season saw Boro to qualify again for Europe with its position in the Premiership best ever. The following season would see the Boro up the EUFA Cup final,

Chelsea Set to Dominate European Football

There is a new force in European football heavyweight, who apparently financed the Russian economy, seriously, and his name is Chelsea FC Chelsea Football Club has always been a good team in the layers of the clubs second English. In London alone Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have always been ahead of the Chelsea Blues, even West Ham has often overshadowed Chelsea. But not anymore, because in the 2004-2005 season, Chelsea won the Premier League title for the first time in fifty years, their only previous victory season.But not stop there, in the new 2005-2006 season already very clear in title race, leaving all rivals out of breath, and now have their attention on the summit of all the trophies, the Champions League. Chelsea have never won the Champions League, not even the London club. And it is clear that their charismatic José Mourinho is determined to win the Champions League again, it was with his former club Porto, which Portugal.So traditional English giants? Manchester United football team often described as the richest in the world have played into the hands of the Glazer family of Tampa Bay fame, but the reports needed to ask half a billion pounds to buy United, a debt the club now shoulders . Spending on new players so far been thin on the ground and the Kingdom of Glasgow sharp manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that United, for the most successful club in England for so long, can not compete with Chelsea when it comes to buy players. The hordes of United fans are not amused, the natives are growing restless.Arsenal, the largest and most successful clubs in London, have lost captain Patrick Vieira and main force last summer, he moved to Juventus in Italy 12 million pounds and with his star striker Thierry Henry suffer physical problems, has collected some unusual losses trendy clubs like West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough. This is his last season at their famous old Highbury Stadium before moving to its new purpose built Emirates Stadium almost next door. The increased capacity of 60,000 certainly give their French coach Arsene Wenger more money to spend next year, but of course they have to pay for that reason it's news. Far from challenging Chelsea again, it seems that Arsenal are more likely to fall more behind.That leave Liverpool and Newcastle. News comes through today that the U.S. company Kraft and family are willing to invest in Liverpool FC, perhaps the final purchase of the club like Manchester United fifty miles of road, but this is something together online. They are trying to build a new stadium in Stanley Park and, of course, that money from all major expenses. Despite the strange victory last year in the Champions League as Liverpool's league season has become irregular, and that included a 4-1 won by Chelsea in their own field of Anfield. The idea that Liverpool could compete with Chelsea for the title remains one unlikely. Newcastle, England, the second best supported clubs are gradually improving, and have signed Michael Owen England center, forward, but still does not convince the highest level. They have not won the title since Noah was seen building his ark, it seems, and have no intention of doing this season either.So although very popular with foreign investors leading the complement of Italian society (and Scots) of calcium, it appears that only Roman Abramovich at Chelsea has the financial capacity to buy the best players around. He is the one to put unlimited funds in the table. Top class players and a transfer rate of 40 million euros each and that Manchester United can afford one a season, Chelsea seems bottomless bag. It has been more than 220 million euros and are still in the market to buy again when you reopen the transfer window in January.They have achieved success by winning at home, now the European Champion League is the Holy Grail for them, a trophy is now the favorite to win outright in the strata units. And, surprisingly, they have achieved their success so far with a number of strikers who have not really cut the mustard. Mutu of Romania, was quickly dismissed by doping, the Argentine Crespo, was sent to Milan on loan last season, and although it is now difficult to push back the world on fire, or even a game that often, one Icelandic Gudjohnson, plays most of the time, the muscular Drogba from Ivory Coast, seems to have

The Eastern League

The Champions League is a rich man's club, complain football teams from the south and east from nine European countries. They are willing to create an alternative: the League "oriental". The revolt is led by Dinamo Bucharest and Greece's Olympiakos Pireu and joined 14 other clubs: Steaua and Rapid from Romania, the Turkish Galatasaray Istanbul and Besiktas PAOK Thessaloniki in Greece, the Serbian Steaua and Partizan Belgrade, Hajduk Split in Croatia, Cyrpiot Apoel Nicosia, Maribor Slovenia, equipment and TSKA Sofia: Levski Sofia and Ukraine's contribution Donestk and Dinamo Shakhtor Kiev.It is part of the pride and partly from the Eastern decade money.In players, defeated by well-heeled competitors from West, consistently failed to qualify for joining the Union of European Football Associations and the Champions League. This translates into a loss of up to one million dollars a year for each losing team in their advertising for profit and is involved in transmission, in comparison with the giants of Spain, Germany, Italy, or even Eastern England.The League is not a fact, however. First, it must be voted and approved by the International Federation of Football Association and UEFA, world and European football associations, respectively. This can be difficult. The game is being organized as a cartel, old style, with each regional association of envy of their market share and clout.Still, football in the underworld of the East is at its lowest point. That its economy will get worse - the inventiveness of managers and players from both clubs. In January 2003, the Bulgarian team Levski offer, with great fanfare, 250,000 of its shares to the fans in order to break the Guinness Book of Records of the Manchester United.It was immediately criticized for having snatched the innocent. The shares of "free", which is that buyers not bitter, was attached to a season ticket at full price. Alternatively, shareholders may request to purchase a membership club for $ 25 - a couple of days of wages in the impoverished country. Newswires quoted by Presstext.Europe and NewsFox, an official of Levski Todor Batkov said that "true fans should not give and take by the club." Football teams in the former communist countries realize that it is neither big or no time. Romanian club Universitatea Craiova has recently courted Paul Gascoigne, a British asset, known for his exploits off the field for all he has done in him. The floating figure was $ 170,000 - a fortune in Romania where the average annual consumption is around $ rarely 2000.Omnipotent President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov granted citizenship immediately - with a presidential decree constitutionally dubious - Cup of Bulgaria, Georgi Georgiev Alexs Dionisiev attacker and defender. This allowed them to keep their Bulgarian passports, even when he played for the host country in the world has always been Cup.Football politics. Violence inspired by virulent nationalism mouth are often more visible in bilateral matches.In a typical case last year, three policemen were injured and nine Bosnian Serb fans were arrested after a fight after the first football match since 1992 between Borac Republika Srpska and Sarajevo Zeleznicar. The team of Muslim and Croat fans who needed police escort in Banja Luka, to escape the wrath of local thugs. Borac had to play two games in empty stadiums and in part with $ 1500 in the Football Association of Bosnia fines.The - representing 14 clubs from the parts of the Croat-Muslim country divided - joined in May 2002 with 6 colleagues in the Republika Srpska. They formed a league policy and a common professional association. Moreover, the two entities already sent a joint team at the Olympics in 2000 and maintain a single basketball federation. However, even this apparent reconciliation failed to prevent the effusion of hostilities.Nor is football-related aggression merely nationalistic fervor. Slovak fans taunted black English players Emile Heskey and Ashley Cole with racist slogans in October last year. The vast majority of people - and medical equipment outside - threatening recited "monkey, monkey" at the top of their lungs for minutes end.Quoted by Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, Michal Vesecka, researcher at the Slovak Institute of Foreign Public in relation to the abuse of the problems in cultural development and identity: "Slovakia is a country that is the most ethnically diverse in Central Europe, but the" culture of tolerance "is not well developed [ here], as in the European Union, "or even against neighboring countries like the Czech Republic

Footballer Profile - Carlos Tévez

As for statistics alone, you'd be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss was with Carlos Tévez.Seven goals in 26 league games for West Ham United, 19 of 63 for Manchester United. Hardly the kind of information they have West Ham fans singing his name when he returned to play against them or, indeed, the Old Trafford faithful to continue pressing for the arm of an income Fergie ', mark it as a sign it into Up 'to every home game. Certainly not the kind of player who can be expected to have a 'Welcome to Manchester for.Even signs' displayed in the center of the town for its national team, the Argentine striker has been more prolific - 8 goals in 51 games Heskey enough - like their ratio.And goals per game, however, wherever he has played, Carlos Tevez has been worshiped by followers of his team. It was three times South American Player of the season, and Hammer of the Year at West Ham after scoring the goal that secured their Premiership survival - ironically at Old Trafford in May 2007. It could be due to his extraordinary work ethic and willingness to chase all day, but could be due to the link play sometimes sublime, but it could also be because, with one or two exceptions, not many South Americans have so easily adapted to life at the top of English football. Whatever the secret, has led to Manchester City fans to be happy when Mark Hughes was one of the recruits during the summer of 2009.Even now, after only 5 goals in his first 14 games for the club, t the few supporters there who laugh have Tevez as one of the first names of the team sheet.Carlos Alberto Tevez was originally Citadel of Buenos Aires - a district known as 'Fort Apache'. The nickname that has followed the player because, Apache, was given his first youth soccer team, all boys. After signing for the famous club Boca Juniors, then transfer to the Corinthians, his style of all the shares that attracted scouts abroad, but after that everything started to complicated.All the ramifications of the deal with Media Sports , the investments made with West Ham will probably never come to light - and the legal minefield scared some of the clubs interested in the player and his compatriot Javier Mascherano. The situation has become even more complicated when Tevez moved to Manchester United in a loan agreement of two years, then go with the Old Trafford outright.Despite buy the player to be a favorite of people clearly felt Tevez appreciated by some circles in Italy. Left out of games too big and apparently facing a reluctance to negotiate the transfer of all, made clear he was spending the summer of 2009. However, it must have left Old Trafford with many fond memories - especially marking the opening of the final penalty shoot-out Champions League victory over Eastlands Chelsea.Since get to wear the shirt of Manchester City - as has been said about the impression of a British record fee of £ 47 million - Tevez all action style has earned praise from fans, as usual - at parties, of course, out of their local rivals. It is assisting the driver's side of Mark Hughes to the semifinals of the first major Cup final since 1981 - and a fabulous goal against Arsenal in the quarterfinals 3-0 victory - the attitude of Tevez in the field belies his assertion in the press in Argentina, he was so tired that he considered retirement from football after the World Cup South Africa were the team to lift the trophy. Perhaps he was thinking of making more villera cumbia tracks with his band - his favorite pastime is apparently out of town fan football.Certainly hopes this was a quote out of context and that in some way - winning the World Cup or not - Carlos Tevez returns to play for the club in the Champions League next year. After all, they know that, as he is concerned, the cold numbers do not approach to explain its value to the team.

Football Today:a Show or a Game

Modern football is not only a great game that captures millions of hearts in the world. It's become a show that is watched by millions of television viewers.In to address the issue, key points of the Declaration of Steve Wagg must be determined first. The meaning of "football as a television" is ambiguous to say the least, so it is important to define what criteria the sport of football must meet to be considered "a television program. This essay begins by addressing the actual submission of football on television, the techniques used in the programs of today and the direct effects of the practice of the television game. However, it will shift to issues such as the effect of television in the place of football in society, reducing the lines between digital radio and club, and the growing dependence of calcium in TV revenue as a means of survival.Even, when the subject of football as a television program has been addressed, you should pay attention to the issue Wagg this is not only a role of football in British society, but the 'primary meaning. This suggests that football has become more important as a TV show that many other problems that include national and regional identity, escaping the reality of the rest of the life of a supporter of business not profit or a form of entertainment. While addressing the development of football in a TV show consideration be given to the underlying problems, the problem is more obvious and direct the problem is that the actual submission of football television.The presentation on the study of football on television raises some valid points and undisputable evidence of development of the role of sport in entertainment to an audience of media, instead of answering the question should be fully taken into account only the techniques used to facilitate the game to an audience. To justify, said Steve Wagg that football is a program, the test may be necessary for the game itself has been directly affected by medium.Television has been criticized for damaging the game, Ed Horton describes the moment of his arrival, "when the cancer together" in his The game world, the exploitation of football. However, despite these criticisms, it is undeniable that the image and reputation of football has been affected and enhanced by television, especially after the arrival of television broadcasting.Sky, NTL and Granada are among the companies TV with interests in the most prestigious football clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Leeds and Liverpool, the clubs, which are publicly traded, have a legal obligation to consider any offer that is beneficial to shareholders if for the good of the game or not. (McGill, 2001) Although broadcasters do not have controlling stakes in clubs, who are in possession of some influence somewhere along the line. Football clubs can not only investments that are left alone by television broadcasters Sky According to former President Sir Frank Barlow, who said that 'the club is bought by television companies that are gaining increasing power and influence over issues the club. "Sky's offer to take over Manchester United forced the issue of club ownership in the eye of the public and highlighted the potential of broadcasting companies if they were to dominate the ownership of British football. Sky (or BSkyB, as the name of the company at the time) announced a bid of 575 million for a 100% of the club in September 1998, a figure that increased to 623 million. The offer was accepted with immediate controversy, fans Manchester United by fear of the management of their football team as a money maker with the famous Rupert Murdoch. The offer was referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, which recommended that the commerce secretary, Stephen Byers, who was block the acquisition, the board, which quickly took over. Even if the offer is unsuccessful, the issues raised are applicable to the clubs of today, even if the strings are not in control of interest, which undoubtedly have their feet under the table. The bid is a useful case study to highlight the potential outcomes, where the lines between the industries of broadcasting and football to become fully blurred.Steve Wagg statement raises some very valid points and it shows in this sense TV soccer is evident in many areas.

Manchester City Shirt History

Manchester City FC has had an uneven history, with most of his followers are willing to admit that their support is a constant roller coaster. The club was founded in 1880 by the Church of San Marcos, but before becoming Manchester City Ardwich known as AFC, who were also founding members of the English Football League at its inception in 1892. A couple of years later became the Manchester City in an attempt to represent the entire city. But the club has had ups and downs, for example, in 1926 the club became the first part of Manchester to play at Wembley, has recorded the biggest win in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford and then relegated! Everyone knows that there is great rivalry between the city and Manchester United and certainly not something new. During World War II, the damage at Old Trafford meant United were forced to play their home games at Maine Road, which is of course the city where they are based. Every time the two teams met there, the city would never allow the combined use of the home team's dressing room! The '60s saw the Club to develop a new board, which is based in the central part of the City of Manchester coat of arms. He also won the FA Cup in 1969. The 1970 has brought great things with a brilliant domestic and European cup double with the European Cup Winners Cup and League Cup. The club then changed its new ID card, which replaces the emblem of the rose of Lancashire, and broke the record transfer signing £ 1,450,277 for Steve Daley. The cities were also the first live game of the sky Monday night, when he played against Queens Park Rangers in 1992, which was the start of the FA Premier Club League.They had a spectacular season in 1995/96, when three directors several were appointed and in 1997 revealed a new board, with a Latin motto meaning "The Pride of inscribed.In Battle 'of 2003, the Club said goodbye to Maine Road, and moved to the City's 48,000 capacity stadium Manchester. In 2007 the city established a club of 'flying Record' nine straight league wins at home in 2008 and defeated the British record transfer for a second time when they signed Robinho from Real Madrid. What if it was only beginning. Just as the new stadium have not been renovated training facility, new web, games, offices, retail stores and new players. When Abu Dhabi has taken delivery of which was under the assumption that Mark Hughes has remained administrator, and obviously it was a promise that was not broken - Hughes is recognized as a professional and determined, and the Sheikh would be foolish to get rid of him. With a dedicated and influential manager and a project to support the parent support Manchester City, it is likely that the club is really about stirring things up in the Premiership.

Football's coming home

Football is not just the world's most popular sport, is also one of the most profitable sports too. To take the English Premier League (EPL), for example, revenue rose to nearly £ 2billion in 2007/08 football, with 11 of the 20 best teams of posting an operating profit. In addition, the PLA is generally considered the most watched sports league in the world, and some reports suggest it is to some extent, about one billion people. This is of course the beauty of television. One table over Manchester United against Chelsea match can be spread to all corners of the earth, which means that a football fan at the southern tip of Patagonia, is easy to see as a fan sitting in a bar in front of the stadium. Football and television go together in the 21st century and to some extent, are in mutual confidence. Revenue from TV rights for the English club can buy the cream-de-la-crème of talent in world football, which in turn means that Footie fans are glued to the screen every week to see the brilliant skills place before them. Everyone is a winner, it seems. The only potential problem is for some people walk to the pub every Saturday or Sunday to see the lunch hour the day in any race can be. Add to the mix a lot of matches in the Champions League and international matches other top leagues like Spain and Italy, so football fans could end the shelling out a lot "of money cash in the pub. Two visits to the pub for a week, to an absolute minimum of £ 6 per visit (probably more, but ...) is equivalent to about £ 50 a month. That's a lot of money to spend when all the fans really want to do is see his beloved football. This helps keep the cost of satellite TV in perspective. The relative cost of a Sky TV subscription on a monthly basis could only work less than it costs to go the pub twice a week. Pull the mixture plethora of other sports that include golf, tennis, rugby and boxing, then it really begins to look like a sweet deal. Of course, there is the social aspect, to take account. However, football fans may be surprised to discover that many of his colleagues are really very strong for a household of little consolation "for the weekly showcase of the games and save them money. A small gathering and a couple of quiet drinks at home can be the tonic for fans of the country beyond, which means that football is really good and go home.
