SERVICES
Beckham first
must give
approval, and
there is little
indication he
will do so.
The deal is
contingent on
Beckham
agreeing to
contract terms and Joan
Laporta winning Sunday’s
election as president of the
Barcelona club.
“David is very disappointed
and surprised to learn of this
statement and feels that he has
been used as a political pawn in
the Barcelona presidential elec
tions,” said SFX, his manage
ment company.
As is customary in transfers,
no fee was disclosed by
Manchester United.
Newspaper reports have said
any bid for Beckham would
have to be at least $48 million.
Beckham said he has no
plans to meet with Laporta.
Sidelined with a broken wrist,
Beckham and wife Victoria, a
former Spice Girl, are in Los
Angeles.
“If I am not elected presi
dent, I would turn over the
transfer to the man who does
win,” Laporta said at a news
conference at Barcelona.
Another candidate in
Sunday’s election, Josep
Martinez-Rovira, has no inter
est in landing the England cap
tain.
“Beckham is a media sign
ing and more of a dream than
reality. He is a player we would
never try to sign” Martinez-
Rovira told Spanish radio.
He said the 28-year-old mid
fielder passes well but does not
score enough.
“Beckham makes a lot of
news off the pitch, but we’re
not interested in appearing in
gossip columns,” he said.
Sandro Resell, Laporta’s
campaign manager, thinks
there are “big possibilities” of
making the deal if Laporta is
elected.
“We did not talk to the
player first because the first
thing was to talk to the club,”
Beckham’s future has tk
subject of speculation
months. Another Spanish cl
Real Madrid, and the Ital
teams AC Milan i
Internazionale also have bi
linked to a possible sale.
Beckham has hel[
Manchester United win six
its eight league titles in
years and the European
Champions Cup in 1999. Ht
has been at Manchester
for almost 13 years,
its youth teams.
Before Tuesday’s announce
ment, Beckham had told tit
Los Angeles Times he was
happy to stay at Manchestei
United but had never said It
would remain there for good.
Beckham is paid a reported
$143,000 a week at Manchestei
United. He is worth $79.5 mil
lion, according to a recent sin-
vey of Britain’s richest people
in The Sunday Times. Hehasa
myriad of endorsements
featured on billboards and mag
azine covers around the world
If the deal goes through
Beckham could face his old
team Aug. 3 when Manchestei
United plays Barcelona in an
exhibition game in
Philadelphia.
The English club’s U.S.tom
is aimed at enhancing its profile
in a country where soccer takes
a back seat to other sports,
Beckham is getting even
more visibility of late in the
British film “Bend it Like
Beckham,” with the title based
on his trademark ability to curl
a free kick over a wall ol
defenders.
Although Manchestei
United is soccer’s wealthiest
team, it cannot afford to bn)
players without trying to hi 1
ance the books.
“There will always he
changes at a team like Man
United,” Beckham has said.
Beckham has dismissed sug
gestions of a rift will
Manchester United manager
Alex Ferguson. Ferguson left
his star on the bench several
times last season. In the locket
room after one loss, Ferguson
kicked a soccer shoe that acci
dentally struck Beckham above
the left eye.
“Despite what many people
say about me and Sir Alex
Ferguson, he’s been a father
figure to me,” Beckham said.

HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets will introduce their ne»
coach Wednesday at their new arena. It won’t be a surprise.
Jeff Van Gundy will join team owner Leslie Alexander and gen
eral manager Carroll Dawson at a news conference near the Rockets
new downtown home, which is under construction.
Van Gundy told Dawson on Monday he was ready to succeed
Rudy Tomjanovich as the Rockets’ coach, pending his agent com
pleting contract negotiations.
On Tuesday, Dawson was getting ready to sign assistant coaches
and preparing for the NBA draft.
“My reaction is very excited,” Dawson said. “We had a lot of
competition for this guy. Everybody who had an opening was trying
to get him, so we feel very fortunate.
“I’m going to start signing whoever he wants as assistants, then
we’ve got to get ready for the draft. We don’t have a first-round
pick, but we have people coming in to work out.”
Among the names mentioned for an assistant coaching position is
former Knicks star Patrick Ewing, now an assistant with the
Washington Wizards. Van Gundy coached Ewing with the Knicks.
“He’s (Van Gundy) mentioned that, but I think there’s a lot of
competition for Patrick,” Dawson said. “Patrick might be in the
same position that Jeff was under because he’s under contract, I
don’t know if we can talk to him.
“That’s going to be up to the coach.”
The Rockets have agreed to give the Knicks a second-round draft
pick as compensation for Van Gundy, who is under contract through
July 31.
Former Rockets and current Knicks forward Othella Harrington
suggested the Rockets get ready for a disciplined coach who gives
extreme attention to detail.
“He’s a guy who’s going to work constantly to improve the team
and the organization,” Harrington said. “He’s a very intense guy
There are no questions about his ability to coach and to win and
there’s no question about him wanting to win.
“It’s going to be him coming in and instilling that on the other
guys.”
