One of the biggest news on sky sports today is the fact that Man United acted like the mafia last night.

They were not given permission to talk to Berbatov. Man City was given permission. They proceeded to swoop the player, had a medical done. Spurs released a statement saying that they will complain and have an investigation done.

Then in a surprising twist, the player signs and Spurs say they will not pursue with a complaint.

The story goes on by saying that HUSH money had to be given to Spurs. The expert on sky said that Man United is a disgrace to football and the way transfers are done. He hopes that a investigation is still done and that United can be exposed cos this type of behaviour is pathetic and breaks all the laws of football.

He also said its reasons like this that give football a bad name, and that United act like the mafia thinking they are above the law.

What hypocrits United are. They make such a big woop ha about Ronaldo and Madrid and then they do this.

Goodluck to them.:rolleyes:

Same thing I was saying last night!

Real madrid at no time spoke to Ronaldo during the whole saga, yet got accused by Manchester of tapping up their player.Fifa sided with Real Madrid on the whole thing saying they were not at fault.

Manchester not only hold talks with Berbatov but give him a medical on top of it.What a bunch of hypocrites.
 
Yup, they sent a limo to pick him up as well. So they were saying that United think they are above the law. Not allowed to talk to the player but they send a car to pick him up and bring him to Old trafford.

Disgrace!
 
Don't bother entertaining these very sad individuals. They're sour worms that ManYoo signed Berba but Real couldn't get Ronaldo. Leave them be. Come join us in the Premier League and Man United thread.

Pathetic, why would we care about real madrid and ronaldo if we barca fans.For all I care ronaldo could have gone to hull city.
Its funny all the manure fans were going on about real madrid but now that they have seen what manchester do to get players they quiet.

Of course, and your are obviously a mature, well-adjusted person hence the derogatory remarks towards other teams.

Anyone actually have any proof of these allegations? Or even a link to a credible news source running these allegations? Without at least this we might as well talk about how Spanish Football is covertly controlled by a race of lizard-men.

Credible source? I watched it on Sky Live report that comes on Supersport everyday at 12 - 1pm. You do know that channel?

They were discussing how they hope the FA will still investivgate the matter.

Like genius said, the debate was on Sky Sports News.
The facts are all over the net regarding Spurs not giving permission to talk to Berbatov, only city had permission.
Yet manchester still went ahead holding talks with him and even going ahead with a medical on the player.If you know fifa's laws regarding teams aproaching players you would know that its illegal unless given permission by the other team.

I didn't see the show so I can't judge how credible it was. Who made the accusations and what evidence did they present?

If it was on Sky than surely they would follow it up their website?

If the facts are all over the net then surely there will be no problem providing links?

Im sure you know how to use google but here you go...
One source:
Goal.com

Meanwhile United, who have not had a bid accepted, have reportedly been holding talks with the 27-year-old at their training ground, Carrington, and even having a medical with the double-winners, according to Sky Sports News. This prompted Tottenham to reiterate in an official statement that United had not been given permission to speak to the player.

Another:

The Times:

They claimed that United had not been given permission to talk to the forward, because no bid had been accepted. Tottenham had turned down United’s £25 million offer two weeks ago.

Tottenham then threatened action against United for an alleged “tapping-up”, as well as scuppering their chances of selling Berbatov to City.

We all know how credible Sky is. The debate was on sky live report during lunch time. So it is very credible. It was an expert in studio providing insight into the Berbatov saga. I dont know why it isnt on the sky's webiste yet, i never checked.

I dont think they will get FACTS regarding under hand dealings unless an investigation is done.

Here are the facts that were on skys site last night: You can check and confirm.

Berbatov was picked up by Man United
Berbatov was having a medical done at Old Trafford last night.
Spurs did not give permission to United to speak to Berbatov.

Now that facts alone, are in direct conflict with FIFA law! Clubs are not allowed to do speak to players without permission.

I guess all United fans are saying its ok now, cos their club is doing it. Just turn a blind eye. Thats what the sky expert in studio said.

And yet nothing on reputable news sites? Odd isn't it?

The snippet you posted points to Tottenham disputing what was said on Sky Sports rather than the actions of Manchester United.

I am sure you can appreciate the fact that just because one of the talking-heads on Sky Sports said something, doesn't necessarily make it true. Perhaps you should wait for some evidence before getting out the pitchforks?

Read my above post.

There was a photo of Berbatov at Old Trafford on their site!!!

Credible enough for you?

Do you even watch football?Goal.com is the top football site on the net.

I also posted a quote from the TIMES, last time I checked they were a "reputable" news source.
 
Nobody can dispute that United spoke to Berbatov and had a medical donw with out the permission from Spurs.

It was absolutely all over the net last night. Every news site was reporting it.

An expert at what? And how does he know what is going on between Manchester United and Tottenham?

I dont think they will get FACTS regarding under hand dealings unless an investigation is done.

Then perhaps you should hold judgement till then?

Berbatov was having a medical done at Old Trafford last night.
Spurs did not give permission to United to speak to Berbatov.

Funny, because non of that is on Sky Sports' website now. Or the BBC's for that matter.

I think that in your haste to jump on the bandwagon you may have been misled. Are you sure you are not basing this whole outcry on then Daniel Levy corrected Sky Sports that they had not accepted a bid yet from Manchester United when they had mistakenly reported that they had?

Surely because internet sites report unconfirmed rumors it doesn't make them true?

No, unless you can provide the exact time of the photo and the exact time that Spurs and United came to an agreement?
