Solskjaer Predicts Big Things For Rossi

Ole Solskjaer has joined Giuseppe Rossi's fan club after seeing yet more evidence of the teenager's burgeoning talents.

Rossi scored two and created two in the Reds' 5-0 win over Burton Albion, which was Solskjaer's first match at Old Trafford since May 2004. Ole says Giuseppe's football brain sets him apart from his peers and will lead him to a great future at United.

"He is a great talent and has great potential," Solskjaer told Sky Sports News.

"He is one of the better finishers I have seen at such a young age, as he thinks about scoring goals before he gets the ball.

"He has got a great football brain and his work-rate is tremendous. His movement is good, he is quick and strong and mentally he is class.

"He is also humble enough to know he still needs more experience."

Rossi, who turns 19 in February, has been in lethal form for the Reserves this season, having netted 16 times already.

曼聯後防李奧費迪南讚揚新加盟的左後防艾華。

艾華在對曼城一戰正選上陣，但在半場被調離場，該場比賽曼聯以一比三落敗。

而在對利物浦一戰，艾華則踢足九十分鐘，並在完場前搏得一個罰球，由傑斯開出給李奧費迪南頂入致勝一球。

「我認為艾華在對曼城時首次上陣，對陣容有少容影嚮。」李奧費迪南說。

「你們或許未必明白，始終我們才是親身比賽，會感受得更清楚。」

「他在首戰未很清楚自己的角色，但在對利物浦時則做得十分出色了。」

「總括來說我很欣賞他，並且對他的表現感到高興。」

利物浦後防加歷查批評加利尼維爾在完場後的慶祝動作。

當曼聯入球後，加利尼維爾跑到作客球迷的看台面前，激動地拿著球衣上的曼聯會徽吶喊。

「我相信加利尼維爾跑過了半場線。」加歷查說。

「我聽聞是他因為被球迷們針對而這樣做，但事實上他多年來每一次都會這樣。」

「加利尼維爾每一次都是這樣做的，若果我們射入了曼聯，也不會這樣做。」

「如果我做了同樣的事，曼聯的球迷也同樣會針對我。」

另一方面，大曼徹斯特的警方已經去信足總投訴加利尼維爾的行為。

他們的聲明說︰「總督察賀迪已經去信表示警方的關注。」

「在這個階段，則沒有刑事起訴。」

而足總則可能會考慮對加利尼維爾作出處分，但相信會留待球證的報告後才研究。

Annual Report: Reds announce 46m profit   

Annual Report 2005



Manchester United remains the most profitable football club in the world and the largest in terms of global brand revenues.
Change of Ownership
The period was notable for the announcement on 23 May 2005 of the offer by Red Football Limited, owned by the Glazer family, for the issued share capital of the company which it did not already hold. This offer led to Red Football acquiring 100% of Manchester United PLC on 27 September 2005 and its change of name to Manchester United Limited on 11 October 2005. The Board of Directors now consists of Joel Glazer, Avram Glazer, Bryan Glazer, Nick Humby, Andy Anson and myself, with the Board of Manchester United Football Club remaining unchanged.

Club Developments

Key Signings
The eleven months will also be remembered for a number of exciting developments around the Club, beginning with the acquisition of Wayne Rooney from Everton in August 2004 for an initial fee of £23 million plus costs (rising to a maximum of £27 million plus costs) and ending with the acquisition of Edwin van der Sar from Fulham in June 2005 for £1 million plus costs.

Stadium Expansion
Once again, the team played each of its FAPL games in front of sell-out 68,000 crowds. During last season, the Club secured the planning permission and awarded the construction contracts to build the new quadrant seating and executive facilities which will increase the capacity at Old Trafford to over 75,000 from the start of the 2006/07 season. The Club hopes that some of the additional seats will be available for use before the end of this season. Sales of the new executive seats are going exceptionally well, with more than three quarters of the new facilities already pre sold. In conjunction with the increase in capacity, we will be offering additional season tickets for which we anticipate very strong demand.

Team Performance
On the field the Club’s disappointment at not winning any silverware reflects the high standards that this Club expects to achieve. We went out over 2 legs in the European Champions League to the eventual finalists AC Milan, were defeated over 2 legs in the Carling Cup semi-final by the eventual winners, Chelsea, and lost narrowly on penalties to Arsenal in the FA Cup Final. A third place finish in the FAPL meant a qualifying tie against Debrecen of Hungary to enable us to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League for a UK record tenth consecutive time.

Financial Year End Change and Results
Subsequent to delisting from the London Stock Exchange, the Company has changed its financial year end to 30 June; reflecting the year-end date of players’ contracts and creating a more even split across the first and second halves. Although these accounts reflect an eleven month period, the Group Operating Profit before depreciation and amortisation of intangible assets and exceptional items, was £46.0 million; maintaining the Company’s position as the most profitable football club in the world, and in the eleven months generating £43.3 million in net cash inflow from operating activities. The exceptional item included £6.6 million in respect of professional fees and associated costs in relation to the takeover.

The drop in profits and cash generation from the previous year reflects mainly the impact of the media deals, with a reduction in the domestic FAPL revenue of £6.5 million following the new three year deal and a reduction of £7.6 million in Champions League media revenue mainly from finishing third in the FAPL in 2003/4 compared to first in 2002/3.

Player Trading and Agents
In the period, the Club incurred costs of £2.2 million (£5.5m in the previous year) in relation to agents, of which £1.5m was for the acquisition of Wayne Rooney, as announced in August 2004. This information will undoubtedly add to the debate into the transparency of the role of agents and the level of their fees. While the Club feels that disclosure is the right course of action, we do not believe it is helpful that Manchester United remains the only FAPL club to publish such figures. We will keep this issue under review, but the failure of others to publish comparable statistics will once again leave Manchester United to be criticised over this matter on behalf of the whole game – an untenable position in the long term.

The Future
Manchester United continues to be the world’s biggest football club based on its global brand revenues and profits. The value of the Manchester United name with its huge and loyal fan base remains strong. The Company estimates that the total revenue generated by the Club from its sale of branded products and services, and those by its apparel and merchandising partner, Nike, and its media partners in the full twelve-month period to July 2005, exceeded £200 million. The Club is in detailed filter-004ions with a number of top companies to be only our third shirt sponsor in over 20 years and is confident of securing the most lucrative deal in its history.

We believe that Old Trafford, the biggest Club stadium in the UK, will continue to develop as a year round venue, and new developments like the new £43 million quadrant facilities will enhance our ability to achieve that.

Everyone at the Club is determined to ensure that we continue to challenge successfully for every trophy over the coming years. Our excellent squad has been strengthened in the January transfer window with significant investment in both Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra. Further sums will be available, as necessary, to improve the squad in the summer.

The new ownership structure has established itself quickly, and the Club once again returned to being a private company - as it has been for all but 14 of its 128 year history. The year ahead has many challenges, but the Board believes that the Club is equipped to compete and to continue to grow its global revenues.

Rio Focused On Reds' Form



Rio Ferdinand insists United are still concentrating on their own form rather than harbouring hopes of catching runaway league leaders Chelsea.
With Jose Mourinho's side surprisingly dropping two points at home to Charlton, Ferdinand's last-minute winner against Liverpool saw United gain two points on the champions.

Incredibly, it was only the second weekend this season when Sir Alex Ferguson's side had made up ground on Mourinho et al - the other coming courtesy of United's October win over the Blues.

Rio told Sky Sports News: "It makes it a bit sweeter that Chelsea dropped points, but that is not in our thoughts when we go out there.

"We concentrate on getting our own job done and if Chelsea drop points then so be it."

Ferdinand turned in a man-of-the-match performance against Rafa Benitez's side, clearing a Djibril Cisse effort off the goal-line before popping up with the dramatic winner.

"The goal-line clearance was probably as important as the goal," he opined. "I knew it wasn't over the line, no chance. If that had gone in it would have been a different game."

After a four-year goal drought, Sunday's strike was Ferdinand's third in six weeks - and he reserved special praise for his serial provider Ryan Giggs.

"It's all down to Giggsy's delivery - he has set up all three," he said. "I'm more thankful to him than anything else. You just get in there, put your head on it and fortunately for me it went in."

英超 - 紅魔曼聯利潤下降兩成,但宣稱重為世界首富俱樂部

路透倫敦電---英超豪門曼聯周一宣布，受國內和歐洲賽場電視轉播收入減少影響，他們的利潤減少20%，不過他們仍然再次成為了全世界最富有的足球俱樂部(球會)。

曼聯表示，在截止至去年6月的過去11個月中，俱樂部扣除商譽攤銷和例外項目之前的營業利潤下降至4,600萬英鎊(8,200萬美元)。

曼聯的收入雖然由1.691億英鎊下降至1.572億英鎊，但還是奪回了全球最富有足球俱樂部的頭銜。

皇家馬德里去年7月宣布他們成為了全世界最富有足球俱樂部，但實際上對兩家俱樂部的財務表現進行直接比較十分困難。

加利尼維爾︰我不是機械人
曼聯隊長加利尼維爾表示他難以相信被人批評他在週日的慶祝方式是針對利物浦球迷。

曼聯在最後補時才入球以一比零擊敗利物浦，加利尼維爾承認他有數秒時間瘋狂了起來。

當李奧費迪南接應傑斯的罰球傳中頂入後，該名曼聯隊長即回身跑了六十多碼，跑到作客球迷的一方激動地拿起球衣上的會徽在空中怒哮。而此舉則受到利物浦球迷的強烈批評，而足總並有可能因此而起訴他。

但該名三十歲的後防則表示，他此舉沒有不尊重對手球迷，並表示恐怕禁止太多慶祝的方式，會使足球變得像機械人的比賽。

「那麼我們入球後應該怎樣做﹖笑得甜甜的然後慢慢緩步行回自己的半場﹖」加利尼維爾說。

「這只是捉緊那一刻，是，有幾秒的確會令人瘋狂。當我聽到有人說我的行為不像一個三十歲的成年人，我便見笑了。這樣說的人可能是針對我們的同一班人，他們也欠缺了比賽的激情。」

「我沒有對利物浦或意圖對利物浦不尊重。如果我有看低其中一位利物浦球員，我一定會道歉，但我此舉只是慶祝入球。」

「在上星期，有一位利物浦人也在對曼城的打毗戰中嘲笑我們的球迷，但我也不覺得科拿需要被罰。這些事情就是足球的一少部份。這為何會有宿敵，宿敵就應該是這樣吧。」

「我也聽見有利物浦的球迷唱歌針對我，全部都不是味兒。而我則只是努力去以一個激動的慶祝入球方式去爭取反擊的機會。」

「現在好像愈來愈多人認為足球員要比白色更清純，少少的事情也要受到規限。他們是否想看機械人比賽﹖」

Valencia defender Fabio Aurelio is eager to put speculation about his future to bed one way or another.

The Brazilian stopper is out of contract in the summer but has thus far refused to concur on fresh terms with his Spanish paymasters.

It seems likely that he could quit the Mestalla in the close season, with several big clubs across Europe monitoring the situation.

It is believed that Aurelio is hankering after a five-year deal in the region of €1.2 million per year but Valencia are not keen to concur on such terms.

Internazionale, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United have all been linked with the classy defender, who is desperate to resolve his future as soon as possible.

''I desire for a final solution to be expressed,'' said Aurelio.

''It is my future and it is not easy for me not to have it sorted.''
