Per IPPMEDIA . Contract tenure between Simba Sports Club and player Ramadhan Singano has been stealing the show in domestic media for over two months now.    While Singano claims he has signed a two year contract, Simba oppose it to insist the tenure is three years.    However, when the Tanzania Football cup federation made an intervention, it came to be established that the young and skillful player has signed for two and not three years contract.   Simba still fights that Singano signed for three years and threaten to take further step and seek fairness from higher football authorities above TFF.

Thomas Muller ! To Manchester United! Get in the sea, the Daily Star, you are drunk. OR ARE YOU? Everyone's favourite redtop of last resort is reporting that United are ready to step up their pursuit of Muller in a move that would make life worth living again. Or at least make next season's Premier League a whole lot more interesting after last year's dullfest. Because of Robin Van Persie's imminent move to Fenerbahce and the exit of half-remembered anxiety dream Radamel Falcao to Chelsea, United are looking a bit light on players who do the whole goal thing. Thomas Muller, off of the World Cup, might be the bright young German to solve all that. United chief executive Ewar Woowar, who tragically lost his "D"s last week, is aware that Bayern Munich would be reluctant to sell a man who's as good at football as Muller. Woowar, bless 'im, is still confident a deal can be done and is excitedly preparing a £60m bid. We will just see a...
