"Peter Kenyon"

Leaving Man Utd to be chief executive at Chelsea.

Why?

United shares up 5% at the moment (10% earlier this morning) even though they have denied to the city any approach has been made.

main problem is its just press speculation trying to tempt someone into buying them. Its not gonna happen Man utd aren't in the best position for a chelsea-esque take over. They have to many big share holders who won't be keen to sell. Were unlikely to find another Roman who happens to want to buy a football club. Wrong time as well, Can't make any signings, and the january window isn' great for signings if it was to happen it would happen next May, at the earliest, by then they may be less attractive if chelsea have won the league (a big if). Personally i can't see it happening again, especially for the price united are valued at.

More likely to happen in spain or italy now. but roman is more than likely a one off.

If these reports about Billionaire's wanting to take over United turn out to be true Kenyon will feel like a right donkey...

Could make the premiership really exciting if Villa get taken over too.

Must admit, always like to watch Chelsea play now. Even though Veron/Crespo wernt even in the squad yesterday!

Which speaks volumes of how loyal he is. He'll probably leave Chelsea within a year if someone else comes in and starts waving the pounds about in his face.

*waves hands about*

Did he not use to support Man City?

And its to make fun of Arsenal eh?

Anyone can be tempted.

Nothing is safe.

Once again i'm glad he's gone and also now he's at Chelsea he might stop their spending, not because of his cautious business brain it's just that he takes ages to actually close a deal. Better start the neogotiations (sp?) now Claudio and you might actually have one done just before the January transfer window closes :-D

...and thats funny why?
