The fans, the players, Manchester United has symbolised the transformation of my staff – all of them have contributed to something truly remarkable. The trophies the English game during the Premier League years. The club’s we have won, the wonder goals from the wonderful players, the amazing matches commitment to investment at every level shines through. we have been involved in, and those dramatic Top class players, both purchased and developed; wonderful comebacks I remember so fondly now – all of them have to be set in the context facilities at Old Trafford and Carrington for players and fans; of the club and the contribution it has made to English football. community programmes that place us at the heart of Many things have changed in the game since my arrival from Aberdeen in November the community.” 1986, not least the levels of interest and scale of SIR ALEX FERGUSON exposure.

In my time, just because we won the Premier League TV rights away, fans weren’t treated properly challengers have come and gone. Some have for the thirteenth time. But there was no luck and what interest there was in football from remained and some have even returned for in the way in which we secured the title. We did government was negative. another go. But competition is healthy and it the right way: good young players combining it is what sets this league apart from others with and learning from some of the best the in Europe.

The Premier League nostalgia plays strange tricks with the mind. culture of youth development that we created is known the world over for the passion and Back then, football’s role in the cultural makeup in the best traditions of Matt Busby’s vision for knowledge of its fans as well as the atmosphere of the country was arguably in decline. It was the club. Wonderful players like Ryan Giggs, in the grounds.

    Former Celtic and Southampton Manager Gordon Strachan Discusses Rangers' Recent Troubles, Andre Villas-Boas and Returning to Management

    EXCLUSIVE: Former Celtic and Southampton manager Gordon Strachan discusses Rangers' recent troubles, Andre Villas-Boas and returning to management. RELATED LINKS • Deal close on pivotal day for Rangers • Advocaat defends spending at Rangers • Bet on Football - Get £25 Free You kept playing until you were 40 and there currently seems to be a trend for older players excelling, such as Giggs, Scholes, Henry and Friedel. What do you put this down to? Mine was due to necessity rather than pleasure, to be honest with you. I came to retire at about 37, but I went to Coventry and I was persuaded by Ron Atkinson, then by players at the club, and then by the chairman at the club, that I should keep playing so that was my situation. The secret of keeping playing for a long time is playing with good players. There have been examples of people playing on - real top, top players - who have gone to a lower level and found it really hard, and then calling it a day. The secret is to have good players around you, you still have to love the game and you have to look after yourself. You will find that the people who have played for a long time have looked after themselves really at an early age - 15 to 21 -so they have got a real base fitness in them. They trained hard at that period of time, and hard work is not hard work to them: it becomes the norm. How much have improvements in lifestyle, nutrition and other techniques like yoga and pilates helped extend players' careers? People talked about my diet when I played: I had porridge, bananas, seaweed tablets.

The news sent shockwaves through the Old Trafford faithful – generations of whom have pledged their loyalty to a succession of managerial legends including Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson. At the very outset of what promises to be a tumultuous season for the Red Devils, Andrew J Kirby investigates in his latest book Jose Mourinho: The Art of Winning whether the latest controversial move by the club’s owners is a marriage made in heaven or hell.

    Newsletter #13

    Newsletter #13 Welcome to the latest edition of my irregular updates newsletter and thank you for your continued interest and support. More features this time about my latest additions, items I'd like, auctions and other interesting sites. As ever, clicking on the picture or highlighted text in each item below will take you to a more detailed site, either mine or the relevant one. Also, if you know of anyone else who might be interested in receiving this newsletter please ask them to get in touch with me via the site or perhaps YOU could provide me with their email address. Another highlight from my website Perhaps it's an oddity, but I don't care and I'm going to include this here. It's the earliest item that I have of anything resembling HTAFC memorabilia - a sadly incomplete newspaper report of Town's 6-1 West Riding Cup 2nd Round tie against Clayton West on 20th March, 1909 at a time when Town was only a Midland League team. Of interest here is the mention in the third paragraph of 'The Redskins' which MUST be Town because Howard - who kicks clear - is a Town player; so does this prove that Town played in red at this time? All Town fans know that we were at one time known as 'The Scarlet Runners' due to playing in red shirts - later to become pink as the colour ran after all too-frequent washes! - and this would appear to be the evidence that was required. This brilliant piece of history is glued to the back of the telegram that I have announcing Town's acceptance into the Football League soon after in 1910.

No wonder so many sports fans consider the English Premier League one of the most exciting soccer leagues in the world.

The thrill of sitting among 25,000 to 76,000 fans in some of the cathedrals of English soccer, some of which date back to the late 1800's.

This methodology has proved to be useful in measuring the economic value of intangible talent in professional sport and in other entertainment industries. In our estimations – and in the elaboration of the rankings – two elements are taken into consideration: popularity (degree of interest aroused between the fans and the general public) and media value (the level of attention that the mass media pays). The calculations may be made at specific points in time during a season, or accumulating the news generated during a particular period: weeks, months, years, etc. Additionally, the homogeneity amongst the measurements allows for a comparison of the media value status of individuals, teams, institutions, etc. Together with the measurements and rankings, our database allows us to conduct analyses on a wide variety of economic and business problems: estimates of the market value (or “fair value”) of players’ transfer fees; calculation of the brand value of individuals, teams and leagues; valuation of the economic return from alliances between sponsors; image rights contracts of athletes and teams; and a great deal more.
