      It’s claimed that the Glazers wanted closer to £10BILLION to sell up.
      It is alleged they will try and sell the club again in 2025.
      It’s believed they think the financial environment in two years time will attract more bidders.
      Manchester United fans will be furious at the prospect of the current owners sticking around.

      Ex-world boxing champion Glenn McCrory cleared of sex assault after ‘calling waitress “pet” & touching her elbow’

      by

      FORMER world champion boxer Glenn McCrory has been cleared of sexual assault after allegedly calling a waitress “pet” and touching her elbow.A jury at the Old Bailey found the star not guilty of three counts of sexual assault after deliberating for just 90 minutes.

      McCrory, 59, had been a guest speaker at the pre-fight dinner before the Anthony Joshua v Oleksandr Uysk world heavyweight title bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 26 September 2021.
      He said that he only touched three waitresses’ arms in a bid to get their attention.
      Prosecutors claimed he deliberately used the term ‘pet’ in an overly flirtatious way – but the boxer told the jury the word is commonly used by Geordies.
      The former world champion boxer said when he arrived at the venue the member of staff who greeted him did not know who he was – could not find his name on the guest list.

      McCrory said he had to lean down to speak to her as she was petite and it was noisy, but he had no recollection of touching her.
      He said: “I just leaned down. I may well have touched her elbow but I am a big guy so I would never be forceful.”
      The court was shown CCTV footage of McCrory at the entrance to the dining hall showing him talking with one of the alleged victims.
      It clearly shows him touching her elbow with his hand as he leaned down to speak to her.
      Most read in Boxing
      He told jurors that he was asking her where his table was, and that he touched her elbow due to their height difference.
      Scott Brady, defending, asked: “Do you think you were intending to be flirtatious?”
      The ex-fighter replied: ‘No.’ He also denied winking to her.
      After he had given his speech, which lasted 20-30 minutes, McCrory returned to his table.
      He said he hadn’t been given a starter, after being told one would be kept for him.
      McCrory said when he tried to raise this one of the servers had a “troubled reaction” to his use of the word “pet” while speaking to her.
      He said: “Everyone on the table noticed the reaction.”
      All I wanted to do was get my dinner and watch the fightGlenn McCrory
      McCrory added that in the north-east of England the word ‘pet’ is a term of endearment, and is often used to address young women in the same way you might address a man as ‘mate’.
      He said that when she came back to his table he tried to get her attention to ask her about his starter.
      The boxing star said: “She turned her back on me as I was trying to talk to her, blatantly ignoring me, so I touched her elbow.
      “I was trying to get her attention. She turned around and said it was in the bin.
      “All I wanted to do was get my dinner and watch the fight.”
      CCTV footage played in court showed McCrory interacting with other guests at the event.
      A number of people were taking selfies with the former champion as he hugged and put his arms around them.
      “You are being very tactile with these people,” Mr Brady said.
      McCrory agreed, adding: “If they are being friendly and I am in the right environment.”
      He added that this was the way he normally interacted with others at events like this.
      Mr Brady asked him: “If you touched those waitresses…was there anything sexual about it?”
      McCrory replied: “Absolutely not.” He also said he has poor eyesight, and has scar tissue in his eyes due to congenital problems and damage sustained during his boxing career.
      This can cause him to rub his eyes and blink a lot.
      The women had claimed McCrory touched them in a sexual manner without their consent, repeatedly winked at them and slurred his words.
      It’s how we talk. That’s part of the Geordie.Glenn McCrory
      McCrory – a cruiserweight once known as the ‘Northern Warrior’ – had insisted he was misunderstood and people are friendlier in the north east than in London.
      In his police interview he said he said he had no recollection of touching a waitress, but that if he had done so it would only have been to get their attention.
      He described the service as ‘very poor’ and said one server ‘scarpered’ when he approached her to ask where the toilet was.
      McCrory said that using words like ‘pet’ was normal in the north-east of England, and that he had not intended to cause any offence.
      He explained: “It’s how we talk. That’s part of the Geordie.
      “I very well could have called her a darling, called her a pet, but 100 per cent how we speak.’
      He said that he was unaware anything untoward had happened that night, and that he had been ‘astounded’ when he later received a letter from the police notifying him of the complaints.

      Asked if he had intended to cause any of the waitresses stress or alarm he replied: “Absolutely not.”
      McCrory, of Burnopfield, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, denied and was cleared of three charges of sexual assault.

      However, two dogs could not handle the pressure as they needed to relieve themselvesCredit: Win Sports
      The dogs were used as mascots as part of the Colombian Dog Day celebration ahead of the Independiente Medellin clash against Junior de Barranquilla in the BetPlay League.
      This was evident when Colombian outfit Medellin ace Luciano Pons’ dog lifted its leg and relieved itself on team-mate David Loaiza.
      Loaiza did not seem to notice the accident the dog had had as he was then distracted by what his dog was up to.
      His pup had wandered off behind him and a different relief as it pooped on the pitch leaving Loaiza with an embarrassed smile on his face.

      And fans watching the moment via social media found it hilarious.
      One tweeted: “Loaiza’s puppy was not ready for so much pressure.”
      A second commented: “Pons’ dog pissing on the player who is pooing, long live football damn! 😂”
      A third wrote: “HAHA the dog he had poos, the other goes and pees on him.”

      A fifth added: “Pons pissed Loaiza while the other pooped, is the FPC summed up in two seconds.”
      After the incident, the players shook the opposing players’ hands and started the match.
      Independiente Medellín tweeted about the dogs after the game as their appearance as mascots was to commemorate them.
      It read: “A special outing in commemoration of the day of the most faithful companion and an invitation to adopt these furry ones who fill our lives with joy.”
      And it appeared that the accidents were good luck as they went on to win the game 1-0 with Pons grabbing the only goal. More

      How Fabinho’s dogs could end up costing him £245k a week as Liverpool star ‘seeks clarity’ over future

      by

      FABINHO’s £40million move to Saudi side Al-Ittihad could be under threat due to his pet dogs.The bizarre hitch in the transfer comes after it emerged that French bulldgogs are banned in Saudi Arabia.

      It appears the couple are willing to call off the move to ensure they are not separated from their beloved petsCredit: instagram @fabinho
      Fabinho and his wife have two French bulldogs and the midfielder would like to have clarity on whether he can bring his two beloved pets into the country before completing a move.
      A leaked Saudi Arabian document circulating on Twitter suggested that the breed is banned in the country due to being on a list of “dangerous and aggressive” dogs.
      The list can be circumvented however if the dogs are to be used for hunting, serving as a guard dog or if they are seeing dogs for the blind.
      Fabinho is understood to be willing to walk away from the deal if his dogs are not allowed to come with him to Saudi – with reports that the deal is on the brink of collapse due to the unusual issue.

      This comes after Al-Ittihad offered Fabinho £425,000-a-week to join the club.
      The midfielder’s current contract at Liverpool sees him earn £180k-a-week.
      Al-Ittihad are keen to press on with a deal – and were in London this weekend to find an agreement between all parties.
      If an allowance for the dogs is permitted, Fabinho would be the latest high-profile star to join Al-Ittihad.

      Fabinho would represent another coup for the club – with the midfielder having won the Champions League, league title, Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his time at Liverpool.
      Fabinho would be joined by Jordan Henderson in swapping Liverpool for Saudi – with the Reds undergoing an unexpected midfield overhaul after receiving lucrative offers from the Saudi League. More

      Mikel Arteta brings dog called ‘Win’ to Arsenal training to boost morale with pooch attending Ramsdale contract signing

      by

      MIKEL ARTETA is no stranger to utilising strange methods to give Arsenal the edge over their opponents. From blaring “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from speakers before a clash at Anfield to get his stars used to the atmosphere, to playing dodgeball in training, the ideas have kept flowing.

      And Arteta’s latest brain child has seen him bring in man’s best friend.
      The eccentric Spaniard has transferred in a dog named “Win” in a bid to lift morale.
      The Times revealed the chocolate Labrador was brought in following research which shows petting a dog can be calming and reduce stress levels.
      The canine has been a regular at London Colney since last month and comes into training a few times a week and roams the grounds.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      Win was even in attendance as Aaron Ramsdale signed a new long-term contract until 2027, with Arteta walking her in during the signing.
      Her owner is a member of the Arsenal staff who she lives with.
      And Win is not the only pet who can be seen at the Gunners training ground, with resident cat Bob – adopted after his local owner died – now having some company.
      The move is said to have proven popular with players.

      Reacting to the revelation, one Arsenal fan joked: “He’s got that DOG in him.”
      A second said: “A club pet is such a sweet idea. As years go on, the pet could become iconic like a super fan.”
      “Good signing. Something a bit different to what we’ve got up front. Stick him on, send the ball long and they’ll chase the ball all day,” typed a third.
      A fourth asked: “Can he play in Saliba’s position?”
      Another added: “My manager and dog whisper all in one!👍”
      However, on the pitch Arsenal have failed to live up to Win’s name in five of their last seven games.
      Draws against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton were followed by a 4-1 defeat against Manchester City and a 3-0 thrashing against Brighton, which sandwiched victories over Chelsea and Newcastle.
      This poor form has seen them give up an eight-point advantage over Man City in the title run-in, with Pep Guardiola’s side now on course to wrap up the league this weekend. More

      I was at centre of one of F1’s most controversial moments ever but then my team sacked me and treated me like a dog

      by

      CRASHGATE remains one of Formula One’s most controversial moments. Nelson Piquet Jr was told to crash his Renault into the barriers at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, a move which ultimately helped team-mate Fernando Alonso win the race.

      As well as deciding the race winner, it also proved pivotal in who won the title.
      Lewis Hamilton was among those who inadvertently benefited from the crash and he would go on to win the first of his seven F1 crowns by a single point, pipping Brazilian Felipe Massa.
      But with Massa now considering a legal challenge after comments made by ex-F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, which could see Hamilton stripped of his title, the driver at the centre of the ordeal has opened up on his experience.
      Piquet Jr, son of the disgraced Nelson Piquet Sr, has revealed how Renault cast him aside when the scandal was revealed and treated him “like a dog”.
      READ MORE IN F1
      Speaking to On the Tracks Podcast, he said: “We stayed for 2009 and then the story came out about what had happened.
      “They ended my contract, something they weren’t supposed to do. I was going to race all year and all of a sudden I was told, ‘Now, it’s [Romain] Grosjean that’s going to take your place.’
      “And I told them, ‘You can’t do this to me.’
      “They treated me like a dog. And that’s when I told them, ‘Since they’re treating me like I’m rubbish, I think we’re going to have to clear things up.’
      Most read in Motorsport
      “That’s when everyone got to know what had happened, which to me was horrible. It was very traumatizing. It still is today.
      “A lot of people don’t understand and a lot of people judge without understanding history.”
      They treated me like a dogNelson Piquet Jr
      But Piquet has insisted he only followed the order to crash due to having his career threatened by Renault team principal Flavio Briatore and having a lack of help around him at the time.
      He added: “The race came to Singapore and they put me psychologically up against the wall, I had no escape.
      “A lot of people still ask me, ‘Would you do it again?’ My answer is always, ‘No, obviously not.’
      “But at that age and under so much pressure… There was no one with me, except that grotesque Briatore, who was always bullying and was always complaining, pressuring me and warning me: ‘This is your last chance’.”
      For their part in crashgate, Piquet Jr. and Briatore were handed lifetime bans from the sport.
      He continued: “What I would not do again was to enter Formula 1 alone.
      “The psychological state of a driver when he enters Formula 1 becomes very sensitive. You have to feel very confident.
      “When you lose that confidence it becomes something very difficult to recover. Someone who wants the good of the pilot.

      “That’s the most important thing I didn’t have. It destabilized me in such a way that people still today cannot understand what I went through.
