Why ex-Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton should run the FA, and Scousers sticking up for Ferguson?

Let's cut Sepp Blatter some slack.
He's right when he says the English can't go around moaning about people lying to them over votes (especially when it's David Cameron who returned from Zurich to persuade Nick Clegg to ditch the pledge he made to voters on tuition fees.)
Blatter is simply saying that if you didn't know before you put your bid in that the entire process was based on fraud you really shouldn't have wasted all that money in the first place.
And he's right. Which is why, if the FA really wants to out-flank the wide boys, it needs someone with the cunning to play them at their own game.


If that's the case Martin Broughton should be a shoe-in as the next FA chairman. His track record proves he can hack it with the worst.
As a rich Chelsea fan he will have observed at close quarters the political machinations of recent times. As chairman of British Airways he'll know all there is to know about dirty tricks.
And as the brains behind Tom Hicks' and George Gillett's eviction from Anfield, he knows all there is about supping with the devil and leaving him the tab.
If he can stitch those two professional sharks up like a pair of kippers, blowing an old flounder like Jack Warner out of the water would be a doddle.
Broughton's your man.

Mick McCarthy believes Wolves are playing too much pretty football and the only way they'll climb out of relegation zone is by getting ugly.
But with the level of ugliness Wolves are already at, this will take some doing.
So a swoop for the unsettled trio of Ronaldinho, Joleon Lescott and Luke Chadwick it is, followed up by attempts to persuade Ivan Campo, Peter Beardsley and Iain Dowie out of retirement.

Man United target Schweinsteiger signs new five-year deal at Bayern Munich

Published 18:00 11/12/10

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has signed a new contract to keep him with the Bundesliga club until 2016.
The 26-year-old Germany international had been linked with a summer move to Manchester United, with his previous deal having been due to expire at the end of next season.
But he has now committed his future to the German champions and took to the microphone minutes after the full-time whistle in this afternoon's 3-0 win over St Pauli to inform the club's fans of the news.
In quotes reported on club website www.fcbayern.de, he told fans at the Allianz Arena: "I've extended my contract and I'm staying with Bayern until 2016. Long live Bayern!"


Schweinsteiger declared to the fans: "I've extended my contract for you."
The Bavarian native joined the club in 1998, winning the German under-17 and under-19 championships and starring for the reserves before securing a professional contract.
He has won the domestic league and cup double five times and played in the 2010 Champions League final.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed his confidence last month that Schweinsteiger would not be going anywhere before his old contract expired in 2012.
Rumours persisted that Bayern may have been considering selling him this summer should he not sign an extension by then, in order to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer 12 months later.
However, Rummenigge ruled out that eventuality and said he hoped Schweinsteiger would pledge his long-term future to the club, and that wish has now come true.
"Bastian has developed a great deal in the last two years and I am very optimistic that we and his agents can find an agreement," he said at the club's annual general meeting on November 30.
"Our aim is to give Bastian a long-term contract."
Rummenigge's words were met with resounding applause from the members present at the AGM.
After tying Philipp Lahm down to a new long-term contract recently and with Thomas Muller showing his commitment to the club, Schweinsteiger was the last remaining home-grown talent that still needed to make up his mind about his future.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid and Manchester United had also reportedly been tracking Schweinsteiger.

SIKU chache baada ya kutolewa kwenye michuano ya Chalenji kocha wa timu ya Zanzibar Heroes, Stewart Hall ameponda waamuzi wa michuano ya hiyo kwa madai kuwa si waamuzi wa soka bali wa mpira wa kikapu kwa vile hawafuati sheria 17 za mchezo huo .
Akizungumza na Mwananchi, Hall alisema waamuzi wamekuwa hawafuati sheria za soka bali zile za mpira wa kikapu kutokana na kutoa uamuzi usiofaa na kuondoa ladha ya mchezo ambao fainali zake zinafika kesho Jumapili.

"Mashindano hayo yamekuwa ni mazuri, lakini waamuzi ni wabovu, sijaona waamuzi wa soka, hawa ndio wameharibu mashindano kuna wakati wanaamuru adhabu ambazo hazistahili kwenye soka zinastahili kwenye kikapu,"alisema Hall ambaye timu yake iliondolewa kwa mikwaju ya penalti 5-3 na Uganda, Jumatano.

"Waamuzi ni watu wa mwisho, lakini waangalie maamuzi wanayoyatoa yanaumiza timu nyingine, wanatakiwa wawe makini na wafuate kanuni za soka na si zile za kikapu, tangu mashindano yaanze makosa yamekuwa yakijirudia kila mechi ninayoangalia hii si kitu kizuri wanatakiwa wajirekebishe kwa maendeo ya mpira,"alisisitiza.

Hall, ambaye ni raia wa Uingereza alisema ingawa timu yake imeondolewa kwenye michuano anaamini ni bora na inaweza kufanya vizuri zaidi siku zijazo kutokana na ubora wa wachezaji wake.

"Wachezaji wangu wana vipaji, viwango vyao ni vizuri wengi ni wachanga hawana uzoefu wa mechi za kimataifa lakini wameonyesha uwezo wa hali ya juu, hilo linanipa tumaini tunaweza kufika mbali iwapo tutapewa nafasi kushiriki michuano ya kimataifa kama hii,"alisema

Aliwasifu wachezaji wake kujituma na kucheza kwa hari katika mechi yao dhidi ya Uganda kwani waliweza kupambana na kurudisha magoli, lakini hawakuwa na bahati kwani waliweza kutolewa kwenye hatua ya penalti.

Simba, Yanga zisijisahau michuano ya Afrika Friday, 10 December 2010 20:29

WAWAKILISHI wa Tanzania kwenye michuano ya Afrika, Simba na Yanga zimeanza maandalizi ya mzunguko wa pili wa Ligi Kuu Tanzania Bara.

Maandalizi hayo, hakuna shaka kwamba ni pamoja na mechi zijazo za Afrika, ambazo timu zetu hizo zinashiriki.

Lakini, wasiwasi wetu ni kuona kuwa viongozi wa timu hizo wamekuwa na mazoea ya kujielekeza zaidi kwenye mechi za Ligi Kuu ambayo inaanza mzunguko wa pili, Januari 15.

Ushauri wetu kwa uongozi wa klabu hizo ni kutambua kuwa klabu zao zitaanza mbio za kusaka ubingwa wa Afrika wiki mbili baada ya kuanza kwa hatua hiyo ya pili ya Ligi Kuu.
Kwa maana hiyo, tunawashauri wachezaji, viongozi wa klabu hizo, kila mmoja kutambua wajibu wake na umuhimu wa michuano hiyo ya Afrika na hivyo kutojiwekea malengo pekee ya kufanya vizuri kwenye ligi ya ndani.

Tunaamini kuwa kupitia usajili wao wa dirisha dogo ambao umefanywa kwa umakini na timu hizo mbili utatumiwa vizuri kuziba mapengo ambayo yamekuwapo ya yalijitokeza katika vikosi vya klabu hizo mbili.

Tunatambua kwamba klabu hizo mbili zinaifahamu vizuri michuano hiyo ya Afrika ambako zimeshiriki kwa muda mrefu na hivyo hazitafanya mzaha katika maandalizi yao.

Tunawaomba watumie mazoezi na mechi za kirafiki ambazo wamekuwa wakisaka ili kupata uzoefu kwa mechi hizo kubwa barani Afrika.

Tunasema itakuwa bahati mbaya kwa klabu hizo kuweka nguvu zaidi katika mechi za Ligi Kuu na kusahau jukumu zito ambalo lipo mbele yao.

Tunawataka watumie mfumo wa sasa wa kompyuta kuzifahamu timu ambazo wanakutana nazo katika hatua hiyo ya awali ya klabu bingwa na kombe la shirikiko la soka Afrika, ambako timu zetu zinacheza.

Kwa upande mwingine, tunaamini kuwa kufanya vizuri kwa timu zetu, pia kunasaidia kukuza kiwango cha soka cha nchi yetu, kwani wachezaji wetu watakuwa wamejipatia uzoefu mkubwa zaidi ambao ndio msingi wa kukua kwa kiwango cha soka cha nchi husika.

Mwisho wa siku, tunasema kwa kutumia wachezaji mchanganyiko ambao baadhi yao wameshiriki michuano ya Chalenji ambayo imefikia fainali hapo kesho, klabu zetu hizi hazitakuwa tena na nafasi ya kutujia na visingizio kwa kufanya vibaya katika michuano hii ya Afrika.

Tunasema makocha wa klabu hizo, ikiwezekana wasaidiwe kuwapa mazoezi wachezaji wao dhidi ya timu kutoka mataifa kadhaa ya Afrika ambayo yamepiga hatua katika medani ya soka badala ya kutegemea ligi kama sehemu ya maandalizi yao.

Kikubwa zaidi ni kwa viongozi hao kuacha kuingilia kazi na mipango ya makocha, Patrick Phiri kwa upande wa Simba na Kostadin Papic wa Yanga, hasa kuhusu mechi za kirafiki za kujipima nguvu.

Tunaamini kuwa klabu hizi mbili zimealikwa kwenye michuano ya Kombe la Mapinduzi kule Zanzibar, ambayo pia ni mazoezi mazuri kwa timu zetu hizi.

Ni dhahiri kuwa ushiriki huu wa klabu zetu mbili unatakiwa kupewa nafasi ya juu na ya kipekee na kila mmoja ambaye ana jukumu la kufanya maandalizi katika klabu hizi, Simba na Yanga.

Mwisho wa siku, tukiwa sehemu ya Tanzania, pia wadau wakubwa wa michezo hatuna budi kusema kuwa kama Watanzania, tuseme tumechoka kuona timu zetu zikitolewa katika hatua za awali za michuano hiyo mikubwa ya Afrika.

Ingependeza zaidi kama ungeweka pia ile video ambayo Liverpool alimvurumisha Man U 4-1 pale OT msimu wa 2008/9.
Ingependeza zaidi!
