Leaders in Football

David Bernstein (City fan and Chairman of the FA)

I've been attending the Leaders in Football conference at Stamford Bridge the last two days. Fascinating stuff from owners, governing bodies, referees, players and anybody involved in the game and it's promotion professionally.

I met David Bernstein, Vicky Kloss, Fabio Cannavaro, Gianni Infantino, Mark Hughes, Ray Wilkins, Damon Hill, Sammy Lee, The Qatar World Cup Bid team, Jamie Carragher, Niall Quinn (ex Chairman of Sunderland), Peter Coates (Owner Stoke City FC), Bruce Buck (Chairman Chelsea FC) and a whole lot more.

Thought you might be interested in these video snippets (Ray Wilkins and Jamie Carragher's views of the"Tevez incident") and part of an interview with Tevez' representative  Kia Joorabchian (in my opinion he really should sell snake oil).

Enjoy, I think, and apologies for the average quality and loud laughing at Ray Wilkins comments.

 Ray Wilkins, Jamie Carragher and Fabio Cannavaro talk about Tevez and England.

Next poor quality video is 10 minutes of an interview with Kia Joorabchian talking utter rubbish, claiming there's a huge row between Mancini and Dzeko in Munich that confused poor little Carlos and MCFC trainers.

Just total nonsense, but watch the answering without answering political spin from this unregistered representative who owns 3rd party rights to over 50 footballers - now there's a motive for moving people on every two years.

Kia trys and fails to act as an apologist, saying Carlos has played in pain for City, has a special affinity for the club, has played with swollen feet and he always gives a 100% on the pitch and the usual he misses his family etc. 

Ray Wilkins called it right - "there was no misunderstanding - he didn't want to play!"
