Problems today at Manchester United. After a less than successful season David Moyes has been forced out of his job as manager of the team. His reign at United was only eleven months of a six year contract so obviously a resignation would have lost him a fortune. As a result he will need to be bought out of his contract by the team, owned by the Glazer family (largely disliked by the supporters) but more of that later.

Originally appointed with the blessing if not insistence of previous manager Alex Ferguson arguably the most successful manager in English football ever, he had big shoes to fill, but perhaps more complicatedly, he inherited a team which was already waning. Competition from other English clubs with deeper pockets funded by Russian and Arabian money were paying enormous sums on the transfer market and similar exploits from German and Spanish teams meant that in order to have the very best players (although he did have some) meant spending more money than he was being afforded by the board of the club. Arguably the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo had already left for £80m for Real Madrid and other stars in the team were not happy with the state of affairs.

Supporters of the club were unhappy with the owners (Glazer family) claiming the club was being leveraged as a business in order to maximise the returns on investment and not prioritising the winning of competitions, as a result the budgets afforded to the manager in the transfer window were reduced, not only reducing the amount he could spend on the top players, but knowing this was also an incentive for top player to join knowing that United would become less competitive as a result - a double whammy.

The results have been easy to see - Manchester United have failed to qualify for next years champions league season, and will probably finish 7th or 8th in the Premier League here in England. Good for almost any other team, but for a top club that's used to winning it simply wasn't good enough.

So here's the problem - was David Moyes ever in a position where he was going to be allowed to succeed? It seems to me that if the club was being starved and at the same time drained of money, he was the captain of a sinking ship, but like all big ships, it takes time for them to sink. Until then, the enormous fan base will be milked of all their appreciative dollars until they no longer want to support the club and move onto another one they can watch in the top flight.

This scenario is not isolated to Manchester United, many other clubs will be under the same pressure to spend more and more, forcing up costs of players, agents, managers, TV rights, ticket prices etc etc and since success is the only likely way to maintain a reasonably sustainable revenue stream I can't see this spiral ending any time soon. Perhaps the Glazer family is out of its depth when trying to compete with the sovereign wealth fund of the UAE ad its oil reserves at the trophy team just down the road at Manchester City? It remains to be seen, but as a trophy team with almost unlimited resources seems to be the only way to win over the last few and probably next few seasons it begs a question very few appear to ask - why would you support a team of foreign nationals, paid for and owned by an international conglomerate / wealth fund whose sole interest is to relieve you of as much money as they can in as short a period of time possible? The so called "big clubs" were built on local apprentices representing their local area and the support came naturally. Supporting a big club now is more like buying shares in a top company hoping the price will go up - if they buy a few good "players" you get more success -  but did everyone forget about football?

Top tips for the guys.

Some consider Valentines day to be a cynical marketing ploy by retailers / restaurants and hotels to try and extricate more money from people during what could be considered a real quiet point of the year - well it may well be true but not by one particular corner of the market, it is then embraced by pretty much everyone with a marketing axe to grind.

So like it or not, here in Birmingham everyone on the retail trade is revved up and ready to supply those over priced teddy bears, love heart adorned cards, and steak and strawberry dinners with a free glass or Prosecco.

Us girls - well we love any demonstration of love and affection, so you can hardly blame us for making all the noise about wondering what you are doing for us on the 14th. So here are some hints for you guys out there:

Huge displays of affection - you know the hundred red roses that we can't carry, put in all our vases put together or even a decent sized suitcase - if you make this kind of gesture once, you may be making a rod for your own back - we will want that sort of treatment all the time and if you don't deliver, we are fickle enough to notice and often nasty enough to point it out - so don't do what you can't manage next year.

Cheapskate flowers from the petrol station on your way home has never cut it and most certainly will not do for Valentines day. Neither will a box of Fererro Rocher - they are not a high quality item!

Teddys cuddling a heart with "I Love You!" written on them - well some girls might bite, but none that I know - the days afterwards, what are you supposed to do other than leave it in the street like a Christmas tree with non pine needles left on it. Its tacky and it won't wash!

Ok so here are some no-no's - how about what we girls actually do want!

We want to be and feel loved and special! This is not at the top of this list for no reason!

It matters less what you buy but what you do.

If we go out, that's great but don't pick somewhere expensive and then order the house wine. If its too expensive, do your research - in advance - and take us somewhere where you will feel comfortable for us to order anything from the menu without squirming in your chair - we do notice you know!

If a meal out is too difficult or expensive then don't go there - perhaps something we can share, the cinema, a cosy little bar or simply to stay in and watch a DVD - but if the day is supposed to be romantic, don't think that this is the day to watch "Senna" or "100 best Man Utd goals" - get something funny, something romantic that we can cuddle up to - get this right and all your other videos will become much more accessible in the future - its not all a one way street you know x

Trying cooking something yourself - or perhaps something we can prepare together - nothing too hard or extravagant - manage our expectations - but when I say cook I do mean cook - not just heat up. There are many things available at a supermarket where with a little effort you can easily make something nice and inexpensive. When it comes to eating, on our laps is not it - the table - with the TV switched off - like your phone too - turn it off - remember I'm the most important - so why to to anyone else? Off means OFF! I don't need candles or petals on the bed (although they are nice if you are prepared to make a habit of it) I need you to need me!

Talk with (not to or at) me! Eating is not a race, its time spent together!

Take some time just to be with me, distraction free

Get this right and you will be well ahead of the game. Almost no guys will get close to this second list this year, or any year for that matter. If you get this right not only will you get the girls, you will get to keep them too! Trust me this is what we want, all our escorts in Birmingham are experts in this matter - if you don't have a girlfriend or wife, then perhaps a little company from them will be appreciated on Valentines Day.
