Having paid a king's ransom to watch some of the most ghastly people in the world kick a ball about, people kid themselves that the team they are cheering for are something more than a motley collection of briefly hired mercenaries who owe allegiance to nothing whatsoever other than their agents and their bank balances!

United veterans eye mega-lucrative Dubai deal

Giggs and Neville: In the money
As the government's austerity cuts start to bite, I am sure it will be a great comfort for the great British public to discover that Ryan Giggs - who is already worth an estimated £27 million - has reportedly been offered a mind-boggling £200,000 a week deal to wind down his career in the Middle East!And that's not all. Apparently, Giggs' fellow Manchester United veterans Paul Scholes and Gary Neville can also expect to receive can also expect mega offers from Dubai clubs teaming with cash!
The Sun reports that top ‘top outfits’ in the UAE league are putting together deals for Giggs and fellow O.A.P.s Scholes and Neville, including Al-Ahli, who are managed by former Leeds and Aston Villa boss David O'Leary and who can also boast Italian 2006 World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro on their gravy train!
Al-Ahli - who often play in front of sub 1000 crowds - managed to entice O'Leary in the summer but, despite talk of a highly lucrative package, O'Leary is adamant that what attracted him to Dubai was solely "the different culture.
With Giggs, Scholes and particularly Neville all becoming increasingly peripheral figures at United, a place on the UAE gravy train is likely to make plenty of appeal to all three.
Neville even has a property in Dubai and Giggs regularly holidays there.
