話說英國某份小報搵兩條友扮中東人
搵艾生同佢助手去杜拜傾計
不過艾生對於去中東搞足球學校冇咩興趣
反而叫個兩位假中東人買起維拉,跟住再請佢做領隊, 人工只需要500萬鎊一年
仲話只要佢打個電話俾碧咸,佢轉黎維拉都唔係問題
同埋仲講o左好多球員內幕
e.g. 某arm arm斷腳英格籣前鋒同佢講唔係咁鐘意新球會
SVEN'S DIRTY DEALS
By Mahzer Mahmood
SCHEMING Sven Goran Eriksson is secretly preparing to DUMP England
immediately after the World Cup, the News of the World can reveal.
At a time when the Swede should be focused on vital team preparations, he
tried to get an undercover News of the World investigator—posing as a rich
Arab—to BUY Premiership club Aston Villa and give him the manager's job on
a massive £5 million a year AFTER TAX, plus bonuses.
Crafty Eriksson—who vowed to fans he would see out the last two years of
his England contract—even discussed ways of wriggling out of the job behind
the backs of his FA bosses.
Watch Sven discussing his dodgy deal with our reporters by clicking on one
of the links below.
In a six-month investigation that will stun football, we also tell how:
Eriksson, 57, BRAGGED he could tap up superstar David Beckham and prise him
away from Real Madrid to Villa—which is illegal in soccer. He even offered
to phone him personally, promising: "He will come tomorrow. And it's up to
me to convince him that Birmingham is the right place to be."
The England boss also POURED SCORN on some of Britain's best known players.
He even attacked some of England's team, describing one as lazy, criticising
another's upbringing and saying a third was not worth his transfer fee.
And he SPILLED private conversations with them to impress his new contacts.
He said of Newcastle's record signing Michael Owen: "I asked him if he was
happy. He said, ‘Not really with the club', then hinted he was only there
for the money."
Eriksson will not be happy either as we reveal what he is REALLY thinking
about in the run-up to England's most important challenge this century.
Our investigation began last July when we were told that, despite England
struggling to qualify for the World Cup, Sven and his advisors were after
lucrative opportunities.
So our undercover Arab contacted Sven's portly agent Athole Still—who
negotiated Eriksson's monster £8 million England contract—to see if he
would be interested in coaching at a new football academy in Dubai.
We expected the answer to be no because of the pressures of getting England
to the finals. Instead it was a very definite YES—and negotiations began.
On Wednesday night Sven, along with Still and lawyer Richard Des Voeux, flew
from Heathrow to Dubai where they were put up in the luxurious Burj al-Arab.
They met our Arab at the hotel's seafood restaurant. Sven was in a sharp
suit and black tie.
By the end of the night the two had ordered and downed champagne along with
two bottles of vintage wine costing £900.
Targets
Over crab cakes and lobster, they got down to business. Just under an hour
into the meal, Eriksson raised the idea of buying a club with our Arab and
his undercover associate.
When they asked which one would be most suitable in England, Eriksson said:
"Aston Villa is for sale."
He and Still callously pointed out that it was an excellent target for
takeover because its chairman, Doug Ellis, was elderly and in poor health.
Sven: The chairman is an old man today. He's sick.
Still: He's 83. He wants to go.
Still told the reporter it would take £25 million to get a controlling
interest in the club. Soon Sven was keen to discuss his own role at Villa
when our Arab and his associate asked who they thought should be manager.
Reporter: How do you get the right manager?
Reporter 2: Could we prise you away from England?
Sven: (Laughs)
Reporter: But you're not allowed to do two jobs are you?
Sven: No, but everything is possible. But only at the end of the season.
Reporter: Seriously, are you interested or are you joking?
Sven: No I'm not joking.
Eriksson admitted his England contract lasted until 2008 but added: "After
five and a half years... it's a long time to be England manager."
Later during the meal, getting excited about the job, he was even more
positive: "Anyhow, if we win the World Cup, I will leave."
The next day Eriksson, Still and one of his lawyers, Richard Des Voeux,
joined our Arab and his associates aboard a luxury 72-foot yacht Eternity in
Dubai marina. During a three-hour trip, the England coach lounged on the top
deck taking in the Dubai coastline.
The sneaky Swede soon got down to money. Eriksson pointed out: "I have two
more years with the FA and there I have £3 million net per year, plus
bonuses."
He went into detail about how he wanted a three-year deal that would match
Jose Mourinho's £5 million-a-year at Chelsea. When asked about annual
bonuses for players he suggested £200,000 to £300,000 a year if cups were
won. And for himself "a little larger than that".
"Now if I will leave the FA, I should like to have a contract of three
years," he added.
The men then discussed getting Eriksson out of his contract with England.
Still said there was no notice period. Lawyer Des Voeux said: "There are
ways and means once Sven is happy of getting him out."
The two sides agreed to meet in London secretly next week.
Our man told Eriksson before he flew back: "We will try to make some
arrangements but we will have to be careful there. Eriksson replied: "Yes".

revelations about top players including Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand, get
