NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg admits the games governing body mishandled their funding negotiations with clubs after John Grant narrowly avoided the axe.ARL Commission chairman Grant on Tuesday received an 11th hour reprieve after striking up a peace deal with the clubs who were threatening to revolt after the NRL last month abruptly pulled a funding deal from the table.Grants position appeared untenable but they managed to negotiate a resolution. The NRL would not divulge details of the deal because it was dependent upon how much the salary cap rises by in 2018.Greenberg admitted they had got it wrong and had badly sold their message to the clubs who had threatened a civil war.Theres lots of things that could have changed over time but I think we could have handled ourselves better in some parts, Greenberg said.But these are emotional issues for the game and its probably not the first time weve debated the distribution of funding and it wont be the last.As part of the peace deal, the clubs agreed to a five-year funding model which will begin in 2018. Greenberg said it would fund each club at an amount above the salary cap.The NRL will also establish a sinking fund for clubs which run into financial hardship, a proposition clubs had previously baulked at because they didnt believe it was their duty to prop up rivals who run into hardship.It was reported that the clubs were pushing for Grant to stand down within the next 12 months but Greenberg said he had not been given an exit date.Absolutely he will (stay). Johns in a position wheres he got to put the games best interests at heart, Greenberg said.Hes come under some personal criticism but thats okay, thats the way the game works.

Manchester United might have been a huge part of Aaron Ramseys life.As a boy, with his dad Kevin a United fan, he could quite easily have ended up supporting them. As a player, when Sir Alex Fergusons champions came calling, he wasnt too far away from signing for them. Instead, it was Cardiff City that became his main team. The team he would watch and support (though I dont think hed disagree if I suggested there was a bit of affection for United).Instead, it was Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger who persuaded him - via a private jet - to entrust his development to the North London club. This Saturday sees Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger resume their rivalry as Manchester Utd host Arsenal live on Sky Sports Born in Caerphilly, half an hour north of Cardiff, rugby had been Ramseys first love. But as other sports came onto his radar - he played cricket and was a school pentathlon champion in athletics - football began to take centre stage.His childhood memories of the Premier League come from a time when Arsenal and United were out there on their own as the leagues dominant forces. From an era when the leagues greatest midfield rivalry was raging.I always remember it being a tough clash and a massive battle, says Ramsey, who I suspect, understandably given his dads allegiances, might not have been supporting Arsenal back then.[Roy] Keane and [Patrick] Vieira, they would just be at each other from the first minute to the last.It was like they hated each other and they wanted to go out and be physical and smash into each other. Watch highlights of Arsenals 1-1 draw with Tottenham But they were really exciting games and things like the incidents in the tunnel would (as a kid) get you massively pumped for them.Really, at just 17, Ramsey was still a kid when, having made waves at Cardiff, he found himself at centre of another battle between two of Englands big boys. Both wanted him. The decision was his - Arsenal or United?I went up there to see the facilities and I went to see Arsene Wenger, says the midfielder, who was close enough to signing for United for the club to announce it on their website. Watch a preview of Saturdays Premier League fixtures including Manchester Utd v Arsenal and Tottenham v West Ham In the end, it was Wenger rolling out the red carpet for a young player he rated highly which won the day.ddddddddddddHe did a lot to try and get me to this club. As a 17-year-old, flying out on a private jet to his hotel (in Switzerland for Euro 2008) was surreal but I think I made the right decision.I just felt a bit more wanted by Arsenal and by the boss. Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports to watch Man Utd v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first six months half price Under Wenger, Ramsey has emerged as a top player at Premier League and international level - but, as we all know, its been far from straightforward. In February 2010 he suffered one of the worst injuries weve seen on a Premier League pitch at Stoke.It was only 15 months later, when Ramsey scored the winner and played a starring role against United at the Emirates, that the Welshman finally began to believe he would rediscover his best form. This Saturday sees Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger resume their rivalry as Manchester Utd host Arsenal live on Sky Sports To put in the performance that I did and the team did, it was just a really happy moment for me.You dont feel right up to speed after rehab - even when its a year or two later. That was the game where I felt, Im back!.Games against United have not always been so kind to him. Hes been part of a winning team just once, in the FA Cup, at Old Trafford in March last year. In August 2011, he was part of the side hammered 8-2 there. This Saturday represents a chance for Arsenal to suggest theyre made of sterner stuff than they have been in the recent past. It might also be chance for Ramsey to impose himself on a Premier League season which, largely because of injury, he hasnt started a game in since the opening day.After the Euros I had, I was desperate to get back and carry that on, says Ramsey, who was arguably Wales best player in France. I just felt a bit more wanted by Arsenal and by the boss. Aaron Ramsey Then to get an injury in the first game and a few setbacks after that - its been so frustrating.Its one of those things, you cant get too down, you just have to get on with it. Luckily the team have been doing well, now we just have to keep that going.With Jose Mourinho and Wenger together on the touchline, Arsenal might have to try and keep it going in a battle something like those of the late 90s and early 2000s, that Ramsey remembers as a kid. Wenger: Fergie rivalry forgotten Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he is focused on winning football matches, not managerial rivalries. The game has moved on, some of those challenges you wouldnt get away with these days, he says.But we are in a great position at the moment and have stated the season very well. They have had a lot of change over the summer and have some very exciting players, so Im sure it will be a tasty encounter.We certainly hope so.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday live on Sky Sports 1 from 11.30am and get the first six months half price!
