Scripted

Players careers at an end, still trying to stay relevant to suck on the cash cow, Milky Bar kids and all that, none more so than David Beckham. Beks retired in May 2013 and continues to monetise the DB brand to harness the cash fest to stay relevant in the public’s eye with many visual public relation viewings to be seen at various sporting events, unless Becks has got a doppelganger, here, there, and everywhere.

Becks gets a helping hand from Mr Mission Impossible stuntman, Tom Cruise (actor) with appearances together in the public domain on occasions, celebrities into a different orbit zone. Author Tom Bowler who likes to delve into the Montecito fruitcake pairing of Harry and Megan claims to lift the lid on the Beckhams to hit the bookshelves, juicy gossip perhaps. The main hub driver being the claim to the Beckham’s golden rings, the vows being splintered in the passage of time to be fake in the current climate, according to Bower the Beckham’s airwaves to cross paths for those public appearances together, a public portrait to keep the Beckham brand cash revenue streams incoming, that’s the end game, watch the lip pout Posh, those brush strokes, all fake, is that the case? Those cups of tea with Bower revealed all it’s in the tea leaves, to cling onto an implant in their supporters minds, it’s all part of the media frenzy, watch the neckties, off the field of play, scripted, the Beckhams.

Manchester United

The countdown to the 2025-2026 season has begun, can Manchester recover their lost mojo? Will the pre-season salads cucumber into a more positive driven on the United frontier, or will the nervy jitters continue? Will United enter the new season as relegation fodder? Will the clubs 1 billion pound debt impact in the transfer market? According to Radio TalkSport’s Simon Jordan, quote “Debt is not a problem if it can be serviced”, the Manero response, debt is always a problem, it’s the hangman’s noose, United’s interest payments are the killer themed blow.

The biggest drain at United is the players who are playing on a platform way too big for their stilettos and there are many, manager Amorin will try to fix the problems with new signings, but will the Portuguese’s player recruitment drive be hindered, there is no quick fix. United have problems in almost every position, a dire state of affairs, the Premier League is a death pit if a club cannot compete to a level playing field, a United implosion of more impact on the horizon. For the season that lied ahead? Of the opinion that the Premier League will be stronger with signs that two particular clubs of note, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to climb the Premiership ladder with two of the promoted clubs in Leeds United and Burnley to offer more resistance than the season 2023-24 promoted threesome of Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town. Manchester United continue to claw at those endless pits of adversity to claim and replenish, to fail could be the ticket ride to the championship, the Manchester United name alone will not save them.

Tottenham Hotspur

Congratulations to Tottenham Hotspur on breaking the club’s seventeen year hoodoo, the curse has been damned to lift the Europa League trophy v Manchester United one to nil, how? Both clubs occupy 16^th and 17^th slots in the Premiership, so is the Europa League a weak kitten of a competition, seems to be the case. Two Premiership clubs to play out a garbage fest of the Bilbao drunken hordes who were seeking those multi-coloured glassed to term “We are not as bad as they say, we’re in the final”, all fake, imposters, Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United are in big trouble, new season lies in wait, two months away.

Spurs, for all their fortitude, are tagged as the most entertaining Premiership team, having shipped sixty one goals and onto the arse end of twenty one defeats (at time of writing), which pays testament to manager Ange Postecoglou’s gung ho football, a good hymn book? Not if you’re looking to stave off defeat on a consistent basis. It has to be said that if one of the relegated clubs offered resistance, then one of these major clubs would have been relegated, the thirteen point gap from the last relegation slot (at time of writing) does not hide how bad these clubs have become, yes Postecoglou has now delivered his so called second season trophy win syndrome, but will Ange change his philosophy? To suggest no and a yes to Postecoglou being replaced with a pragmatic coach who can mix it up, of the opinion Spurs are fixable with a new branded coach. At United, Mr Fixit is nowhere to be seen, unless a deluge of quality strong minded players enter the building, is that feasible? Will players want to join United? Old Trafford has become a death knell, the bells, the bells for many players, leaking roofs to soothe the pain. The United manager Ruben Amorin is culpable in part but not in its entirety, the Portuguese have inherited a disaster zone and it takes time to remove the rubble. Amorin needs to strengthen the three central core positions in the team, positions identified, the centre-half and centre-forward positions alongside the centre-midfield position, the fourth priority on the list is to replace goalkeeper Andre Onana, then to build from there, core values.

The Manchester United co-owner, Jim Radcliffe to flush out the toilet flushers and save on a minimal pay day, there’s plenty of that down the United drains, make no mistake United’s turmoil shows no abate, as for Tottenham’s fake Champagne dribbles, slurp, over the Europe trophy does not mask the Londoner’s troubles and ditto to Manchester United, as stated, the new season beckons.
