Man Utd Flop Memphis Depay’s Viral Tweet Outing Corinthians Over Contract Talks

Published

on


Manchester United flop Memphis Depay’s career has hit a sad new low this week, with the 32-year-old posting an explosive – and now viral – tweet outing his current club in Brazil.

Depay has played 79 times and scored 20 goals with Corinthians since joining in 2024, but is now heading toward another set of crossroads in his career after his club revealed that they wouldn’t be extending his current deal.

The Dutchman has had far more success in South America than he ever did in the Premier League with the Red Devils a decade ago now, and with him finally feeling at ease about where he was in his career, the revelation that he must now up and leave has forced him to react strongly on social media.

Depay hasn’t held back in his anger towards the lack of a new deal, and has vowed to “punish” his current employers over “unacceptable behaviour” regarding his contract. Taking to social media, the Dutchman wrote on X (see the full post below):

“Very disappointed to read that Corinthians decided not to honour our agreement in place to extend my contract for two more years. This renewal was explicitly agreed upon by the president as well as the sporting, legal and financial departments.

“Some people decided, however, to breach this engagement. I didn’t want this situation and always respected the club throughout the process, but now I am forced to react strongly in order to preserve my interests. In the upcoming days, I will speak publicly, but rest assured that I will not leave this unacceptable behaviour unsanctioned.”

Having chosen to gone nuclear over his concerns about his future, Depay had seemingly opened himself up to backlash on Wednesday morning, but reports in Brazil claim that there are deeper issues than just the fact Corinthians chose not to renew his contract. The forward was willing to take a pay cut, and some suggest that he is owed some outstanding payments.

The Sao Paulo-based club explained that, for financial reasons, they are unable to keep the 32-year-old on their books. In a statement, the club wrote: “Sport Club Corinthians Paulista has decided not to renew the contract of athlete Memphis Depay.

“This decision was taken solely and exclusively in consideration of the financial health of our institution, which demands rigorous balance and responsibility in the management of available resources. We would like to express our deep gratitude to player Memphis Depay and his entire team, who from the start of negotiations sought the best possible agreement.

“To the athlete in particular, the club is eternally grateful for the dedication and the results achieved throughout his journey with us, which include 79 matches played, 20 goals scored and, above all, the conquest of three important titles: the Paulistao and the Copa do Brasil, in 2025; and the Supercopa Rei, in 2026.”

They continued: “These achievements will certainly remain as a fundamental part of Corinthians’ history. We understand that the process extended beyond the traditional deadline, but this is mainly due to the fact that we are dealing with a differentiated athlete. The Board also recognises and values the tireless efforts of all the institution’s departments that worked to make the athlete’s stay feasible.

“However, after careful analysis, exclusively financial reasons and the commitment to responsible management of the Club prevailed. Given Corinthians’ current and future financial obligations, it became clear that taking on a new commitment of this magnitude would not be compatible, at this moment, with the financial balance we need to preserve to ensure the institution’s sustainability.”

Tiger Woods’ Honest Verdict on How Good Donald Trump Really is at Golf

Published

By


Donald Trump has always been vocal about his ‘talent’ when it comes to golf, with the US President reportedly winning more than 40 club championships over the past decades.

His most recent triumph came at the Senior and Super Senior Men’s Club Championship in New Jersey this month. Trump allegedly carded a two-under 70 to win the championship in both categories, while then mocking his rivals for their lack of ‘talent’.

The 80-year-old has often faced allegations of cheating during his golf matches, with eye-opening footage even surfacing. But surely he’d behave himself while on the course with the greatest of all time, Tiger Woods, right?

Donald Trump Didn’t Play By the Rules vs Tiger Woods

The President of the United States is a well-known friend of Woods, who is in a relationship with his former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump. Shortly after he started his first term in the Oval Office back in 2017, Trump took to the golf course in a two-on-two match.

Trump partnered veteran PGA Tour pro Brad Faxon, while Woods was with two-time major winner Dustin Johnson. Author Rick Reilly, who has always been vocal against Trump’s ‘cheating’ in the sport, wrote about the match in his book ‘Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump’.

Per Express Sport, Reilly recalled that the US President would have a stroke removed on the eight hardest holes of the course, while he and Faxon were allowed to hit off the middle tees. Faxon, Trump’s partner for the day, remembers the cheating antics of the now 80-year-old.

“On this one hole, Donald hits his second and fats it into the water,” he claimed. “But he quickly says to me, ‘Hey, throw me another ball; they weren’t looking.’ So I do. But he fats that one into the water, too. So he drives up and drops where he should’ve dropped the first time and hits it on the green.”

Woods had hit his approach shot into a foot for a three and a kick-in birdie, while Trump apparently asked where everyone else stood approaching the green.

“Well, Tiger just made a three,” said Faxon. “What’s that putt for, Mr President?” And Trump responded: “Four for a three.”

How great is that? Four for a three! But he missed it anyway. It was really fun to play with him. He rakes every putt [as if it’s conceded], but you kind of want him to. You’ve heard so much about it, it’s almost like you want to witness it so you can tell the stories.”

Tiger Woods’ Opinion on Donald Trump as a Golfer

Woods, who has won 82 PGA Tour events and 15 major championships, was very complimentary of Trump’s ability on the course. While that game took place almost a decade ago, the President appeared to impress the iconic golfer.

“For a person who’s 70 years old, he hits it hard. He can rip it and hit it,” Tiger said (per ESPN). He even went on to claim Trump ‘has an inordinate amount of energy’ and ‘keeps himself in pretty good shape’.

That might not be the case now, as Trump is nine years older and photos from a recent golf match sparked health concerns for the American leader.

Donald Trump Names Jim Brown as NFL’s Greatest Player of All Time

Published

US President Donald Trump revealed back in February who his NFL GOAT was, and it might be a selection that leaves a good number of fans scratching their heads.

Trump’s pick for the top spot spent nine seasons in the league as a running back and won one Super Bowl – a fact that may leave other candidates smarting.

Those potentially at the front of the queue for the title include the legendary quarterback and five-time champion Tom Brady, three-time Super Bowl champion and 10-time All-Pro wide receiver Jerry Rice, or fabled quarterback Joe Montana, who went four and zero in Super Bowls.

But, according to the president, they are all trailing in the wake of this former Cleveland Browns star.

Speaking at the White House during a speech to mark Black History Month in February, Trump said that the late Cleveland Browns legend Jim Brown, a vocal supporter of the 45th and 47th president, was the greatest of all time.

“I would say there can’t be a greater football player than Jim Brown,” Trump said at the time. “He really liked Trump, Jim Brown. He was tough. He’d come in, he was very silent. He was silent but deadly. He’s come in and look at people, and if he didn’t like them, he’d just look at me, and he’d go, ‘no good’. He wanted to rip their heart out.”

Brown, who had voted for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections, met Trump on multiple occasions through the years and later made his feelings for Trump known.

“The graciousness, the intelligence, the reception we got was fantastic. He’s amenable to listening to people who didn’t vote for him,” Brown once said of Trump.

Brown passed away in May 2023.

Jim Brown’s NFL Career

Jim Brown was one of the NFL’s most-celebrated running backs and spent his entire nine-year career with the Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965.

He led the league in rushing eight times, earned nine Pro Bowl selections, and won three MVP awards. Brown helped Cleveland win the 1964 NFL Championship before retiring at age 30. He finished with 12,312 rushing yards and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971.

With Brady’s career now over, it seems there is little he can do to change the president’s mind about the subject. However, fellow quarterback Patrick Mahomes may be able to get his foot in the door, at just 30 years old and still active with the Kansas City Chiefs.

JBL’s Brilliant Tweet After Finding Out About Ex-WWE Superstar Dawn Marie’s New Venture

Former WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield has taken to X to welcome his one-time colleague Dawn Marie to OnlyFans.

Former ECW and WWE star Dawn Marie last week officially joined OnlyFans – an internet content paid subscription service – at the age of 55. However, she has said she will not be posting explicit content to subscribers.

“Please note only sexy shoots and implied nudity will ever be shown here,” she wrote on her page. “No full nudity or overtly sexual/adult content is allowed. I’d love to hear from you in DMs, so don’t be shy, send me a message! Keep it fun, flirty and respectful.”

Marie is charging $12.95 a month for a subscription.

“I think it’s wonderful my friend Dawn Marie is joining OnlyFans. I hope she makes millions. I just got approached by OnlyFats, so you may hear an announcement soon,” Layfield posted.

Dawn Marie’s Time in WWE

Dawn Marie’s most prominent WWE storyline was perhaps with Torrie Wilson and her father Al. The New Jersey native started a relationship with Al Wilson and the pair became engaged and eventually married on SmackDown. Later in the storyline, Al died from a heart attack on their honeymoon. This led to a match at the Royal Rumble in 2003 in which Torrie defeated Dawn in a Stepmother vs Stepdaughter match.

Dawn Marie left WWE in 2005 after she became pregnant and later sued the company for wrongful termination, eventually settling the lawsuit in 2007 out of court. She was inducted into the Women’s Wrestling Hall of Fame and continues to make appearances at professional wrestling conventions.

Other WWE Figures That Have Explicit Content Websites

A number of former wrestling stars have turned to subscription-based fan platforms to offer followers exclusive content. Former WWE Women’s Champion Torrie Wilson uses rival service Passes, explaining that she chose the platform as she doesn’t want to provide nude content. Former WWE NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose uses OnlyFans, as does Brianna Coda, who performs under the ring name Elayna Black.

JBL, who earlier in his career formed one half of the Acolytes Protection Agency alongside Farooq, has been involved in several controversies during his wrestling career. He has faced allegations of bullying and hazing. Perhaps the most infamous was an incident with The Blue Meanie. The Blue Meanie had reportedly called out JBL’s bullying and Bradshaw actually hit his fellow wrestler, bloodying his face. That said, however, these latest comments appear to be made in a light-hearted manner.
