Subject: Neville injury blow ««
Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville will miss the start of
the season with a groin injury.
The injury will keep the full-back out of action for six weeks, a massive
blow for both United and England, with national coach Kevin Keegan already
without the services of Tony Adams for the games against Luxembourg and
Poland.
Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson stated:
"We always knew Gary would need at least six weeks rest so he will miss the
start of the season."

Subject: UNITED DUO ON WAY HOME
Ryan Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are returning home from Manchester
United's Far East tour.
The players, who are injured, flew down to Hong Kong with the rest of the
Treble-winning squad but were then put on a flight back to England.
United deputy chief executive Peter Kenyon confirmed that the players were
on their way home,.
Winger Ryan Giggs has a problem with a thigh muscle while Solskjaer has a
recurring knee injury, according to Kenyon.

Subject: GOVERNMENT 'STAY IN FA CUP' PLEA TO UNITED
The Government has issued an 11th hour appeal to Manchester United and the
FA to try to find a way round the club's fixture logjam so they can play in
the FA Cup.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey, who speaks for the Department of Culture, Media
and Sport in the Lords, said they hoped the club could compete in both the
Cup as well as the World Club Championship in Brazil.
"Even at this late stage, we hope that a way can be found to achieve this,"
he said in a Lords written answer.
United, the current Cup holders, infuriated fans after announcing they were
pulling out of next season's competition to compete in the World Club
Championship in January.
The move followed intense pressure from both the Government and the
Football Association which believed that United's participation in the
competition was crucial to England's chances of hosting the 2006 World Cup.
Sports Minister Tony Banks was sharply criticised when he urged the club to
do what they could to help England's bid - although his boss, Culture
Secretary Chris Smith, later said he hoped they could compete in both
competitions.
In his reply, Lord McIntosh acknowledged that Mr Banks had held "detailed
discussions" with United chief executive Martin Edwards and chairman Sir
Roland Smith about their fixture congestion problems.
"The Government recognises that Manchester United's involvement in the
World Club Championship will help the Football Association to develop
further its ties with FIFA, its support for the game worldwide and its bid
to stage the 2006 World Cup in this country," he said.
"We also accept, however, that the club's exemption from next season's FA
Cup was ultimately something which only the FA could offer and only the
United board could decide to accept."

Subject: ERIC'S BACK----the news we all wanted to hear
Thursday, July 22, 1999 11:50
Organisers of the Alex Ferguson testimonial match have thrilled fans with
the news that they wanted to hear. Eric Cantona is to play at Old Trafford
again.
The mercurial Frenchman has confirmed that he will play in the game, but
may also play a larger part in proceedings. "Eric has agreed to captain the
Rest of the World XI, but there is also a good chance he may become the
manager," said a spokeswoman from L'attitude, the organisers.
"Having a player of his status returning to Old Trafford will be fantastic
for the fans on what should be a truly memorable occasion," she continued.
"Sir Alex has drawn up a list of players he would like to be involved and,
after the success they have shared together, it was no surprise Eric's name
figured prominently. He gave tremendous service to the club, and remains a
huge favourite with the crowd."
Another huge name is to be invited, but his participation is, as yet, less
certain than Eric's. Peter Schmeichel is to be contacted, but his new club,
Sorting Lisbon, may take precedence.
"We appreciate that Peter has commitments to his new club, so it is a case
of keeping our fingers crossed. But we know that Sir Alex would be
absolutely delighted if both Peter and Eric could turn out together," said
the spokeswoman.
The match is set to take place at Old Trafford on October 11, with
Manchester United taking on a World XI to celebrate Alex Ferguson's 13
years at the helm at the Theatre of Dreams

Thursday, July 22, 1999 14:23
The new Manchester United away kit will be unveiled on
both sides of the world on Friday. While the boys are
showing off the new strip in Hong Kong, there will be
two reasons to be at the Dog and Partridge in
Old Trafford.
There will be a big launch of the new kit by Baz of Urmston,
who has knocked out some authentic replica originals
which hasn't even been seen by the PLC yet. And
to celebrate, a Pete Boyle will be buying a round. You
never know who may turn up at the event. You'll have to be
there to see for yourselves!
Proceedings will get underway at 12 noon at the Dog,
and Baz guarantees the new strip will last for at least
three washes.
United and sports retailers Allsharks have joined forces to
open a series of United stores across the North West.
The Trafford Centre store, which weighs in at a mighty
20 square feet, will be the first of many, which will be
appearing in Stockport, Chester, Bolton and Manchester
City souvenir shop by the end of the year.
The shops will include the whole Old Trafford experience,
allowing you to watch MUTV, pick up the latest match
programme, buy all the latest United goodies, sit quietly
in a Library-type atmosphere, and be manhandled by a
SPS thug as you enter the store.
Announcing the opening, Cliff Richard, Managing
Director of Manchester U-Nit Merchandising, said, "The
new stores offer our supporters in the North West far
greater access to Manchester United toilet paper, warm
beer and nuclear meat pies. We are delighted to team up with
allsharks, a leading ripoff retailer and official club sponsor,
who will manage and operate the stores."
Hank Marvin, Buying and Merchandising Director of
allsharks, added, "Allsharks are delighted to be a partner of
Manchester United in this prestigious new store opening
programme, Allsharks have been associated with
making gobs of money for many years and we are expecting
great things from this brand new concept. We will put the
'con' well and truly in 'concept.'
"Manchester United is no longer a football club, it is now
truly a global brand. Following the amazing achievements
of last season's team on the pitch, we are working very
hard to emulate the success in our retail operations," he
concluded.
But if you can't get to the D & P, and you're
nowhere near Hong Kong, don't despair. The first ever
online kit launch will see the away shirt be unveiled on the
Internet at www.beapartedfromyourcash.co.uk. You've got
no excuse now!

Subject: A real Chinese Red + Goals on Tour by Dave Marshall
Hi All,
Was there much on TV where you are about the Reds in China?
There was great human interest story here about a lad who lives in
some northern province who had just graduated when the game in
Shanghai was announced. He said he didn't literally have a cent so
went labouring until he had enough for the 3 day train journey, a
replica shirt and a match ticket (that alone apparently about a
month's pay everywhere but Shanghai itself). He couldn't afford to eat
on the trip, but said he was too excited to do so anyway! The way he
tucked into his noodles, presumably supplied by the TV crew, seemed to
put the lie to that. There were some shots of him in the crowd during
the match and it looked as if he had no regrets.
Ah, the power and lure of Manchester United. Amazing, ain't it?
Goals on tour
I've seen all the goals scored on tour so far (only one live, sadly) and
they have all been absolute crackers. None scrambled over
the line or a tap in from a defensive error and so on.
I suspect United are doing just enough to maintain their unbeaten
sequence and showing the locals how goals can and should be scored.
Cheers,
David Marshall
Brisbane, Australia.
Red 'til I'm dead - treble achieved, I'm ready to go!
