What Madrid are doing is something else though, they are continuously, through their newspaper, making up stories about a player and in a way forcing a player to join their club. Things like giving a player who doesn't play for them but want to sign them a car as a gift are unacceptable in my opinion. I don't think anyone can accuse United or any other club of using the tactics Madrid have been using in the past few weeks.

When has any other club used the same tactics as Madrid have been. Some examples might be helpful.

They don't have to be the same tactics to be illegal, the effect is quite the same, players leave, against their clubs wishes and I love the way you and Fergie keep calling Marca
their newspaper, they aren't, they are independent, in the same way the Manchester evening news is independent
