In a sense, yes. It was pretty obvious that Ferguson didn't appreciate what Beckham had become and the impact it was having on him as a footballer. He was right imo. LA Galaxy may mean money and it may mean showbiz but it sure as hell doesn't mean football.

What's the betting Channel5 will have LIVE MLS matches next season then? Remember C4 starting Football Italia when Gazza moved to Lazio.

US soccer coverage is actually pretty tolerable, although the commentators waffle on about offence and defence a lot. They really make an effort with the pronunciation though for the foreign names and leagues, shows up our lot quite badly.

I would imagine that on top of the bonkers cash and his missus, there's an element of being able to step away a bit from the lunatic press. I should imagine that it would be a little easier to live a more normal existence over there than over here...

Good luck to him... I don't think any of us would knock it back if it were offered.

Well, LA is awful. But for $50m a year I might be able to cope :D.

Wish I'd had money on that. It's been inevitable for months.

Nice to see Beckham taking the easy option and not coming back to the Premier League to prove he's still good enough to play for England as he still insists.

"It's not about the money"....of course it isn't David. Quite possibly the most over rated player ever.

Have to disagree about Traore. he's not a bad player, he's a bloody liability right up there with Bramble.

Isn't Traore the first Champion's League winner you've had up there? :)
