All I can do is assess the value from Manchester United perspective. Whatever Chelsea do, they may have a different criteria, and different financial assets.
Previously people were treated anonymously particular on a drugs situation which is obviously highly emotive. They have been treated anonymously even after the verdict had been reached.
Playing for Manchester United is something that most people want and very few people do - but there is no harm in having a dream as long as you are realistic with it.
The manager sits down with me; I sit down with the board. We assess the success of the year. The manager assesses whose coming through the academy system. His job is to look at what is happening in European and world football.
What this anger hides is grief ... the reality that his wife didn't value their marriage as much as he did. He realizes it was a mistake.
Steve Jobs was Apple; Sir Alex Ferguson is Manchester United,
Sgt. Vick was an honorable man, but heroes are people and people make mistakes. Sgt. Vick had a lapse of judgment to allow himself to get to a .20 blood alcohol level.
Sgt. Vick pursues her, not for prostitution. He knows full well she is not a prostitute.
Sir Alex and Carlos made their views known and I can only reiterate what they said. Ruud has a two-year contract with Manchester United and remains very much part of our long-term planning. I saw what came out of Italy yesterday but as far as I am concerned, it is just mischief making.
We want to keep Ole at the club. We are going to sort that out. He has been a great player for us and a fantastic individual.
If it should creep towards 60 percent that would become a major concern.
We've given them a date and it would be nice if it could happen. Everyone at the club, particularly the supporters, would like to pay tribute to Roy after everything he's done for us.
Kieran Richardson played for England last summer in Chicago and did very well but views himself as an England player and comes in and wants more money. I don't buy the argument that international appearances add value to a player - they come in and ask for more money. We are not a selling club and we seldom sell international players.
I would think if he gets convicted of something there may be some changes. We still go by innocent until proven guilty.
