Agreed. Otherwise we'd be Manures 'feeder' club. Fuck that.
I'd hate to see Berba in a United shirt, its bad enough watching Carrick and before him Sheringham.

Sadly, aided and abetted by someone within our club.

If you take a step back, you can see that Levy is desperately trying to recover from the PR disaster of the Jol fiasco. I think he was surprised at the fans' reaction, maybe thinking they'd turned after the Everton game.
To me the idea that he would then accept a bid for Berbatov is too ridiculous to contemplate. He's endured a week of terrible press, with the likes of Matthew Norman, Lawro and Henry Winter questionning his ability to run the club.
Signing a deal to sell Berbatov would be the most expensive suicide note in history.

You obviously missed the posts from 'Wan Danny Thomas', who not only accused BOF's source of lying and demanded BOF reveal his identity, but predicted we'd learn that Jol had had a massive bust-up with Berbatov after the Sunderland game, wanted us to sell Berbatov and had been in discussions with the Barcodes. Lo and behold, this appeared in the rags (and, sadly, the Indy) in due course, along with a re-hash of the old 'Defoe livid over rotation' story, and some bollocks about our foreign players claiming we weren't doing enough fitness training (strange, you might think, given Ghaly's alleged comments about Widow Twanky's regime at Birmingham).
Brown paper envelopes don't come into it. It's pretty obvious someone has been feeding the press and a couple of the ITKs 'information' designed to damage Jol in our eyes. Whether that someone was recently in Sevilla sampling fine sherries for his cellar and just happened to bump into Juande Ramos in the course of his investigations I couldn't possibly say.

FERGIE NOT BRINGING ANY FORWARDS IN
Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out buying another striker to cure Manchester United's goalscoring ills.
United were on Friday night forced to reject claims they had made a bid for Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, of whom Ferguson is a known admirer.
It is believed at one stage this summer Ferguson did make a tentative inquiry for the 26-year-old Bulgaria international, only to be flatly told there was no possibility of a sale.
Yet Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev claimed United have been in touch again with a firm offer and he will meet Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy at some stage next week to discuss the interest.
However, United have taken the unusual step of denying the story publicly.
"Manchester United is linked with many players in every transfer window," said chief executive David Gill.
"The club has categorically not made a bid for Dimitar Berbatov."
With Wayne Rooney sidelined for two months with a broken foot and both Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plagued by injury for most of 2007 so far, speculation has been mounting Ferguson will bring in a fresh face.
As well as Berbatov, Nicolas Anelka and Obafemi Martins have been linked with United in recent days.
But, having seen one attempt to buy a major striker rebuffed earlier this summer, Ferguson is not about to enter the market again.
"We made an inquiry about a striker not so long ago. The club concerned would not sell and it remains that way," Ferguson told XFM ahead of Sunday's clash with - ironically - Spurs.
"With a week to the transfer deadline, it would be impossible to get anyone else in now."
Instead, Ferguson looks set to hand Brazilian new-boy Anderson his debut against Spurs, completing an all-South American forward line with Carlos Tevez.
And the good news for United is that Saha should be on the bench, heralding the prospect of his first appearance in a league game at Old Trafford since February in a year blighted by hamstring and knee problems.
With 12 goals in his first 20 games last season, Saha played a major role in giving United the flying start which saw them eventually finish top.
And, while there was some speculation he would be sold in the summer, Ferguson has no doubt what an impact the 29-year-old can have if he remains fit.
"Louis is an out-and-out front player," the United boss said.
"He has pace and power and if he had continued playing throughout last season he might have scored 30.
"He was a big loss to us in the second half of the season because we just never got him back out on the field.
"But he has been doing well in training over the last two weeks and it will be a big boost to have him back."
Ferguson, who revealed the club are investigating Liverpool's involvement in the Gabriel Heinze saga, is confident United will collect their first win of the season on Sunday, although he is aware Spurs will be thirsting for victory themselves in response to the speculation surrounding manager Martin Jol.
"We will win the game on Sunday," he said.
"Our performance level will win the game for us.
"There is no question Tottenham will come here with a great determination to help their manager.
"But with the ability in this team, I know the results we have been having will not carry on for long."

Berbs agent issued a press release in Bulgaria, saying Berbs is staying with Spurs.
All parties (Berbs, Jol, Levy) had agreed that his future is with Spurs and all speculations should be put to rest.
He says Berbs is ready to play tomorrow and it's up to Jol.
