Fergie doubtful of Mourinho return to England

Sir Alex Ferguson believes he will next cross swords with Jose Mourinho in the Champions League rather than the Premiership.

The Manchester United boss has been in touch with Mourinho "a couple of times" since the Portuguese coach left Chelsea in September and believes he will end up in charge of a top team on the continent.

"I don't know if he will come back into the English game, I'm not sure of that," Ferguson told the League Managers Association website."I think Jose will end up at a top team in Spain or Italy, I'm almost certain of that."

There certainly is no-one on the radar at the moment obviously, he's taking a break and I think he's aiming to come back fresh.

"I don't think there's any problem about him coming back into management, I think it's where he comes back in and I don't think anyone has any clues to that at this moment in time."

Riise's payslip hits Internet

Liverpool are investigating how midfielder John Arne Riise's payslip ended up on the Internet, a spokesman for the English Premier League football club said Wednesday.

The payslip has circulated on a number of fan forums and the Reds are not happy.It shows the Norway star's home address, national insurance (tax and benefits) number and other personal details.It also shows the 27-year-old's monthly gross income of 139,634 pounds (289,311 dollars, 200,213 euros).

"We are taking the matter extremely seriously and we are investigating," a Liverpool spokesman said.The payslip showed Riise was paid a basic monthly salary of 120,000 pounds, received 4,000 pounds in appearance bonuses and a 250-pound "points bonus".

He was also awarded a Champions League salary increase of 15,384.62 pounds.The left-sided player's tax payment was 55,508.28 pounds and he ended up with 82,413 pounds net after all deductions.

Sixty-five pounds was deducted for meals, 36 pounds for tickets, while there were no contributions in the student loans repayment column, the payslip showed.

Several Liverpool players' homes have been broken into during the last 18 months but Riise's house is not among them."It must have been stolen but the player simply doesn't know how it has happened," a club insider said.

"I can assure you that John Arne Riise is not in the habit of throwing payslips out." It's clearly been stolen and taken without his permission."Nobody would want their details - highly personal details - put all over the Internet."

The local Merseyside Police force told AFP they were not investigating.In March this year Riise was declared bankrupt by Liverpool County Court for an unpaid debt of around 100,000 pounds.

Riise was involved in a legal battle with his former agent, Einar Baardsen, whom he accused of swindling him out of three million pounds.

Getting A Garage Cabinet

Christmas is coming and I still have some stuff, I means lots of stuff, from last year's purchase. Thanks to my wife.

I just got to tidy up the garage a bit more. It's been weeks and the clutter is still there, no matter how I arrange the stuff, they still look messy. Most of the junk have been disposed but I need to keep the rest of the useful items.

The garage cabinets at CarGuyGarage could be just what I need. I have spotted one which goes nicely with the finishing in the living room. Once it is delivered to my house, all the tools and kids toys can be stored away nicely.

That will be a relief for sure.

Barcelona Not Selling Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho is not going anywhere. Barcelona made that clear enough. The Brazilian star is not for sale, despite new press rumours announcing his imminent departure.

Madrid sports daily AS claimed the twice world player of the year was "on the market" and could even leave during January's transfer window. As far as I am concerned, no smoke without fire, so there must be some truth in it.

Of late, Ronaldinho has come under fire following some deplorable performances on the pitch and unprofessional behaviour off it.

"Only an extraordinary transformation in his play and his public image can save him," said AS.

However, Barcelona moved quickly to dispel such rumours."Ronaldinho is not for sale, neither in December (January), nor June. It's inevitable that he has some problems with his game but we've never thought of selling him," club vice-president Ferran Sorriano told catalan newspaper La Vanguardia.

AC Milan and Chelsea are rumored to be keen on the 27-year-old. Of the two, Barcelona looks likely to sell their star to Chelsea, first for the money, and secondly, they can't threaten much under Avram Grant (unlike Mourinho).

However, Barcelona are already struggling with key injuries as Samuel Eto'o, Yaya Toure, Thierry Henry are out. When they return from injury, Henry will still not perform at his best given the new environment while the other two will most likely leave for the African Nations Cup in Ghana in January, hence letting Ronaldinho go at such a time would be unwise.
