Will someone please forward this letter to David Beckham?
I’m serious - if you have any way of putting this in the mainstream media or actually sending it to dear ol Becks, please do so.
Dear Sir,
You are, and always will be, a legend.
And for all the trash people have thrown your way in the last few years, you were England’s number 1 trump card for the last 5-6 years of your international career.
And yes, Real Madrid at the time seemed the right choice - but there’s no place like home, and while Manchester United is on the rise again it will never be quite the same again.
But right now, this isn’t about Manchester United or Real Madrid - this is about you.
You know that Real Madrid bought you as a marketing icon. You know that they intend to keep you around for the same purpose.
With Reyes and Robinho in the team, you will never get a chance. It’s time to leave, sir, and that means accepting the unacceptable and doing one of two things:
- Retiring
- Playing for a lesser club than Manchester United or Real Madrid
Option 3 - accepting a reduced contract at Madrid and sticking around on the bench - is not really an option. It’s suicide, both for your reputation and for your career.
Option 1 - retiring - is the hardest one to accept because you’d be going out on a low note. I imagine that if you had won the World Cup in 2006 you would probably have retired - at least that’s how I saw it coming. Life doesn’t always give us what we want though, and maybe, just maybe, if you can’t take the hit and play for a lesser club, it’s time to move on.
Option 2 - playing for a lesser club - I don’t think playing in Italy will do you any good, unless you want to disappear into obscurity. Go elsewhere in Spain and you will be a laughing stock for the media (telling it like it is). England - it doesn’t feel right to think about you playing in another club apart from Manchester United in the Premiership, but stranger things have happened and at the very least you will be at home. The U.S. is an option, but surely not now.
Personally, I would love to see you back at Manchester United - but we know that’s not happening. The next best bet is in the Premiership.
A little over 50 days left till the January window opens - time to switch homes, Mr Beckham.
A Manchester United fan

Becks back to Man Utd! God forbid… I still maintain the team made him look better than he was, rather than the other way round.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Stay away from us, Becky!
Ahmed, I know you have deep feelings for Becks. I mean no disrespect to you or Beckham, but personally, I feel that Beckham was (still is) over-hyped and over-rated. He was never the player everyone ‘thought’ (more like wanted to believe) he was. After the Gazza dissapointment, England desperately needed a hero. Becks stepped up into that role perfectly. Unfortunately, he could never play soccer as good as he could play the hero.
Becks is an excellent crosser of the long ball. But, that’s about it. He is a good footballer, but as for Manchester United, I think that selling him was the best move from them at the time. The only Bad thing about the deal was the fact that they got so little for such an icon.
He’ll finish in the states. Manchester United is very unlikely.
I have always thought of Becks as over rated but he has been great for England, he set up numerous goals for us and scored pivotal ones, but he was intent on global fame, which let him down, had he acted like Zidane or even Scholesy then he might not be in this position now, I see him either playing in Yankeeville or even Tottenham, either way, he’s definitely past top flight football, the twat
I just found this too hilarious not to share (even though most might have read it already).
UnitedRant’s take on perhaps why Becks got the boot…
http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/archives/2006/11/fergie_the_quotes.html
“Ashley Cole made you look a cunt.”
- Fergie assesses Beck’s performance in 2003.
“…and Wenger made you look like a cunt…again.”
- Beckham’s retort. He caught a boot in the face shortly afterwards!
