Gum Banging and Madness

The madness that surrounds United does not seem to be losing any momentum.

Our erstwhile cockney owner has decided to open his mouth after all this time. Unfortunately, most people, including United fans, will be earnestly wishing he'd kept it shut. He's announced to the world that Jokin Here is his big hero now (no doubt replacing the poison dwarf, Wise), and not only that but 'Kinhere is a better manager than Capello (who manages the english) and will take United into Europe this season. Keep taking the tablets, Cashley......

Not to be outdone, amidst the very sensitive negotiations which are going on around Lil Mickey's contract, Jokin Here has decided to blurt out his view of what happened when he met Michael Owen on Tuesday. What a "sensible" decision from a man who stated he wasn't going to talk to the ******* press, yet has banged his gums to the point of boredom ever since for anyone prepared to listen.

Quotes from the Great One:

“I spent about an hour with him a couple of days ago.
"He’s had what I consider a very good three-year offer, which would bring Michael up to 32-plus.
“I am optimistic. I am more optimistic now having spent that time talking to him.
“He’s getting together with his agent in the next two or three days and coming back with an answer.
“Obviously, they’ll still be negotiating one way or the other, but we’ll certainly find out, I would think, in the next two or three days.”
