Dastardly Daniel and his nefarious schemes...

From 6 years ago...

Yeah some Manu fan doesn't want him coming back so started shit stirring....

 

[Klinsmannesque]

Can definately believe this.

Especially of the back of his agent saying how good Levy was throughout it all....

I thought Levy was a money grabbing, player selling egomaniac? When didn't that change?

Yeah in the middle of spending the 80 mill prior to confirming Bale was leaving, he threatened bale that he'd let him stay in the reserves.

Stirring up all this absolute rubbish to try to undermine us before the final. Anything to help their darling Liverpool.

How far into the article do they get before they mention some tenuous link to Princess Di?

The article came from Marca, I suspect that it's them putting out articles to paint Bale in a bad light seeing as they're Real Madrid's mouth piece.
