POOL AND MANYOO HEADING TO COURT OVER HEINZE
As The Guardian puts it, 'Previously cordial boardroom relations between England's two most successful clubs have deteriorated over Gabriel Heinze's future'.
That future is set to be decided in the courts after ManYoo reiterated their determination not to sell the defender to Liverpool. But Heinze, and Pool, believed they are legally permitted to finalise a deal.
According to Heinze and his representatives, ManYoo signed a 'valuation letter' earlier this summer which stipulated that the player could leave Old Trafford if a Ј6.8m fee was secured. They claim that no restriction on which clubs Heinze could join was mentioned.
But according to David Gill, ManYoo's chief executive, the letter is "meaningless".
'Gill also insists he verbally informed Heinze's agent that United would not be prepared to do business with any of their main Premier League rivals, specifically Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea,' reports The Independent.
Relations between the club have been further eroded by Sir Alex Ferguson's hint that ManYoo are investigating whether Liverpool made an illegal approach for Heinze.
"We are examining some of the statements coming from his agent and when contact was first made with Liverpool," he told reporters on the pre-season tour of Asia. "We are not happy with the agent's conduct in the matter and we are examining that, but it will take a couple of days before we have anything more to say."
