Calling The Ginger Prince

I have a friend back home in Manchester who's about 5'6", has ginger hair and is 35years old. His name is Scott and, in the days before children and the like, Saturday's used to be spent trying to complete "The Didsbury Dozen", the practice of having a pint in all, then twelve, pubs of Didsbury. If United had won that day, Scott used to be bombarded with thanks from the drunken hordes for his amazing game. Looking nothing like Paul Scholes and having little to no interest in football never stopped Scott sometimes accepting a free pint of Stella.
So now the currant are saying that Scholes is on his way to The Reebok. While this may be a silly season report, many teams in the Premiership would have him like a shot, even on the sort of wages that would make Lucas Neill blush. It would be quite a coup for Bolton to get him and his tackling would fit right into the world's blinkered view of The Wanderers.
Some of the comments underneath the story makes you wonder what game some United fans watch. Everyone knows that Scholes has always been an individual, doing what is right for him personally off the pitch. He may well feel that leaving United for another Premiership team is right for him. It is obvious that he enjoys playing football and he may feel that he has achieved all he can at Old Trafford and wants to play regular football again, which he would do most anywhere else. If he comes, great, if not and he ends up somewhere else then good luck to him. If he stays then I would say the same.
