Obi Mikel and small matter of money

When will the John Obi Mikel saga ever finish? Today, we have reports of a court case where it is claimed

John Obi Mikel was crying the day he joined Chelsea and really wanted to join Manchester United, it has been claimed in an explosive court case in Norway.

Honestly. Just a couple of days ago there was a quote from midfield red card expert Mikel saying Manchester United treated him like dirt once he was heading off to Chelsea. We’ll never know the whole truth in this case. We’re well shot of the guy who has proved to be a poor tackler and gets sent off far too often.

The trouble with football is there is too much money in the game. Money turned this transfer into a tug of war between clubs and agents. How the player got into that mess is not sure, but you know that money; lots of it is prime suspect.

Like the ludicrous idea to send off English teams across the globe for a 39th game. Where will that end? When Manchester United’s American owners decide they can make more money from New York United and take the club into an international league that manage to fit a game in England in once a season.
