The Sun has pushed the nonsense boat all the way out to the sea of stupidity today with one of those stories that use the word "may" followed by a load of nonsense, to make it appear that there's a chance of something happening - "hell may freeze over" - "The Sun may publish something true one day..."
The headline to grab you - "United stars in pay freeze," the story:

The Glazer family may make all future contracts for new and current players more incentive based.

The plan would have far-reaching consequences in United's bid to attract players and keep their star names.

Under the scheme, players would no longer get a pay rise when renegotiating contracts but be offered greater financial incentives for number of appearances and honours won.

There is even a plan to make payments in line with how many minutes they play in games.

News of the idea has leaked down to the players, who are unhappy.

The Glazers in turn are not happy at paying people like Owen Hargreaves £80,000 a week when he does not play.

The problem will come when manager Alex Ferguson decides he needs to rest players as they will lose money.

This will happen. Obviously. The problem will come when pigs start flying...
Just because the Glazers have such a bad name with Man United fans is anyone really going to buy this bullshit? Perhaps it's one of those things where every option is considered before you stick with what you've got. If this happens - players paid by minutes on pitch - I'll eat every hat I own. And I own a few...
The final paragraph -

It is another example of the Glazer's cost-cutting methods which have even extended to restricting which staff can have breakfast at United's Carrington training camp.

It's not "another example", because it hasn't and won't happen. And can the "journalist" really think of nothing worse than changing who can have breakfast at the training ground... a more heinous cut I can not think of... Has David Cameron thought of this money saving measure... Or is it too much even for him...
