DO the powers that be not think that we are sick and tired of Beckhamitis. For God's sake let him go and snatch Real Madrid's hands off. There are far more important issues to look at.

The pundits and those involved in soccer keep talking about stress. I wish the West Ham manager a speedy recovery but the money men in the game don't know what stress is.

The millions they get is ridiculous. A man with children and a home to keep going on a small salary, wondering from week to week how to feed and clothe his kids, that's stress. The glamour boys don't have a clue. Small clubs are struggling because of their greed.
