      MICAH RICHARDS has revealed the brutal message he received from a fan during his early days in football.Richards, 35, recalled the story while appearing on The Rest Is Football Podcast with Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer. Micah Richards recalled his fan mail story on The Rest Is Football podcastCredit: GettyRichards revealed the fan mail started out well before the truth behind it became clearCredit: YouTube @therestisfootballThe trio were fielding questions from fans, with one of them asking whether they had a soft spot for any lower league teams.Former Manchester City and England defender Richards went first, revealing he had a soft spot for boyhood club Oldham, where he spent much of his youth career. In doing so, he also lifted the lid on a piece of fan mail he received from an Oldham and Man City supporter after he had moved to the Premier League outfit.He said: “I go to Man City [from Oldham] at 14. Fast forward to 2005, 06, 07 when I’m 17, 18, 19, and we all get fan mail. It’s a thing that comes to the training ground.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”It had Man City/Oldham fan on it so they must like both clubs.”So get this fan mail, open it up and it starts wonderfully: ‘Hi Micah, so good to see you doing so well coming through the ranks at Oldham and now at City. But you do know Oldham have a 20 per cent sell-on clause in the contract’.”So I’m reading down, reading down, at the end of the letter he puts: ‘PS I think it’s best for all parties for you to leave now so we can get some money in the kitty for Oldham. “‘You’ve done what you needed to do and I think it’s time you should leave’.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”And I’m like ‘So have I read this right, he wants me to leave’ because Chelsea apparently at the time was in for me for £20million and Man Utd for £20m and for Oldham it would have been £4m.”So he made out like he wanted me to prosper but all he was thinking about was this £4m sell-on clause.”Stunned Gary Lineker gasps ‘really?’ after Alan Shearer’s controversial claim on The Rest Is Football podcastShearer, 53, then joked: “PS from the Oldham chairman,” which triggered laughter from all three of them.The former Newcastle and Blackburn ace revealed he had a soft spot for Gateshead due to training there as a child. Meanwhile, Lineker quipped the lower league team he supports was Leicester – who may cause an FA Cup scheduling nightmare if they end up in the Cup final and Championship play-off final. More

      Fans in stitches at clip of Gary Neville ‘discovering what a holiday is’ as Man Utd icon calls breaks ‘mini-retirements’

      by

      FOOTBALL fans have been left in stitches at a clip of Gary Neville “discovering what a holiday is.”That’s after the Manchester United icon referred to taking breaks as “mini-retirements.”
      Gary Neville cracked fans up as he referred to taking a holiday as a ‘mini-retirement’Credit: https://twitter.com/bkelly776/
      Neville, 48, won eight Premier League titles during a 19-year career at Old Trafford.
      And his work-rate was never in doubt, with the right-back famed for his tenacity on the pitch.
      Indeed, Neville has taken that same mentality to post-playing life after becoming one of the nation’s most popular pundits.
      But he may have gone too far with things after appearing to not know what a holiday is.

      Neville sparked mass laughter as he explained how he recharges his batteries every six weeks with a weekend break.
      He prefers having these regular “mini-retirements” instead of taking himself away for months on end.
      And fans could not help chuckling as they pointed out to Neville that what he was describing was a holiday, with some wondering what pal Jamie Carragher would have to say.
      Neville told the Diary of a CEO podcast: “What you can have is a mini-retirement during the year, and that’s what I’ve tried to do.

      “I don’t do it very well, so for instance this weekend I’m going to Spain on Friday until Monday morning.
      “I call that a mini-retirement. It’s a weekend, it’s a mini-retirement.
      “It’s where I can basically say for three days I’m there and I’m basically taking it, I don’t think about work.
      “And I will, sometimes my best ideas come when I’m on these types of trips, but then in six weeks I’ll have another mini-retirement for five days or four days.
      “Rather than thinking you’re going to stop for six months and sort of have a sabbatical, that’s not probably going to happen with people like you or I because we just basically don’t work that way.
      “So to have lots of mini-retirements during the year is what I’ve tried to do in the last few years.”
      Fans certainly found Neville’s comments hilarious, with one saying: “He’s only just discovering what a holiday is.”
      Another declared: “Haha why is he calling it mini-retirements?”

      One noted: “Hope that Carragher is on to him for this.”
      Another added: “I’m looking forward to my mini retirement on Friday and then back to work Monday.” More
