Fergie 'Excited' By Dong

China international Dong Fangzhou has signed a new deal with Manchester United and has been cleared to play for the Barclays Premiership leaders.

The 21-year-old forward has signed a contract which lasts until 2010 and is now able to make his competitive debut having received a work permit.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told club website manutd.com: "We're all excited he has eventually arrived and can start playing.

"He sacrificed two and a half years at Royal Antwerp, which showed great patience and determination.

"He is quick and athletic and he can only improve by training with the first team squad here."

United signed Dong from Dalian Shide three years ago

When teams like Newcastle play against Man utd it's basically thier cup final so they raise their game and put in extra effort. Last night they were playing a lower league club, who will probably be in the premiership next season so do have some quality players, in a half empty stadium, so it doesn't suprise me they didn't play as well against Birmingham as they did against United.

The winner of football's Premiership will net an extra £50m from next season after the league agreed a new £625m deal for overseas television rights.
Here's an interesting part though.......

Quote:

Income from the deal means even the team finishing bottom of the pile will claim £30m
That sort of money, will mean the team finishing bottom, will be well equipped for a swift return the following season.

They'll get their parachute payments on top of that.

Think its something like £14Mil over 2 years for relegated teams

Exactly ;)

Just a thought........how many clubs in the premiership are not owned by a foreign investor ?

and how many have actually paid cash for the club and not mortgaged it to the hilt to finance it, sorry to keep going on about it but it just doesn't seem right to me :mad:

Me either, in hindsight, it would have been better if Rupert Murduch had succeeded in his bid for United a few years ago.

If we are not careful I have a feeling some clubs might cease to exist :(

the problem is that now all the clubs have to pay millions to agents just to get new players and survive in the league as such money goes out of the game and disappears which means we have to pay more on tickets to make up for it
