EXCLUSIVE: Prescott, Blair, Anschutz & the David Beckham LA Transfer

There is something a bit strange about the David Beckham move to LA Galaxy Soccer Club and the links that are made between this Prescott, Blair, Anschutz and the Dome etc.

After John Prescott met Anschutz at the ranch in Colorado he flew to Los Angeles with Tim Liewecke, President and CEO of Anshutz Entertainment Group (AEG), to sit in Anschutz's box to watch LA Galaxy play the San Jose Earthquakes on 23rd July 2006 at the Home Depot Center. AEG owns the Home Depot Centre and The Dome in London. Beckham has football acadamies at both the Home Depot Centre and at the Dome, sponsored and supported by Anschutz. In March 2006 Chelsea FC announced a long term committment with AEG. Chelsea FC visited Los Angeles at the end of July 2006 and were staying at The Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard (aka The Pink Palace) when Tony Blair arrived at same hotel after his trip to San Francisco.

So did Blair lay the foundation of the Becks deal with Anschutz ? Would he get an agent's commission on the $250,000,000 deal? Is that why the deal is so big? Just joking...

Who is this Mr. Posh Spice? Does he play football? If so, why isn't this on the sports channel, West Ham Until I Die?

AEG owned most of the MLS teams at one point (they now only own three - LA Galaxy, Houston Dynamo and the Chicago Fire) and yes they did buy the Dome so it wouldn't exactly be that unusual for them to have links with Prezza, Blair etc...

Chelsea played in Chicago this year as part of their warm up - presumably as guests of AEG they also had some pre-season in LA.

Hardly the most schintillating conspiracy theory out there - but then you obviously haven't seen the pictures of Blair, Abramovich and Snoop Dogg at the same event!!

You forgot to mention Bernie Ecclestone and Gail from Coronation Street.

Has Beckham been in charge of the government all this time? It might explain a lot.

Good for Beckham's team for negotiating such an excellent retirement package!

I did not realise the USA had this massive contract TO PAY US massive sums to deal with our useless garbage.

Does that mean Blair, Milburn, Blunkett and Prescott will be sent over there and our balance of payments problem will disappear overnight?

"There is a David Beckham Academy "

...where they teach amazing new maths. All space is curved and one and one makes three.

Apparently Beckham will be making lots of videos, but they will not be er... high-fidelity.

Also, isn't it a bit coincidental that Beckham has signed for an AEG owned club, when his UK based Soccer Academy is right next door to the AEG owned O2?
