And add to this,. the fact that Madrid lawyer Enrique Sobrino who is challenging for the Real presidency at the end of the season and he says: "I would listen to offers for David Beckham. Beckham has to change. Some of them (players) have not done enough and some of them are not doing enough," he said. "I would listen to offers for David Beckham and Luis Figo won't continue."

The NOTW say that Kenny Dalglish is likely to be The Dirties' next manager. However Houllier still insists that he will win the league next year.
