No denying Bruce has has a great track signing players form Latin American. Whoever his latin scout is should be given a nice bonus.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he was wrong to brand referee Alan Wiley “unfit” after his side’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland earlier in October and will plead guilty to a Football Association charge of improper conduct. Daily Mail

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has rejected a new £80m offer from Tyneside businessman Barry Moat to buy the club, consisting of £60m up front followed by a later payment of £20m, insisting he wants the full asking price in one payment. Daily Telegraph
