Beckham's first season with L.A. Galaxy a "massive disappointment," may be heading back to England

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Victoria and David Beckham haven’t been in the United States for a full year yet, but rumors that the couple and their kids might be heading back across the pond to their native England are heating up.

David’s first season with the L.A. Galaxy — the team that has him under a mind-boggling $250 million, five-year contract — was a massive disappointment thanks to injuries that kept him sidelined during many games. Plus, there are reports that his whole family is in the U.K., and he wants to be closer to them. “He’d be very happy if someone would buy out his Galaxy contract,” a source told OK! magazine.

There’s also the topic of Victoria Beckham’s denim line, dVb. “It’s done about $15 million in retail when it was expected to have done $50 million by now,” a well-placed retailer told the mag.

Reps for the Beckhams say the clothing line is “doing well,” and there aren’t plans for David to get out of his contract and move. However, another well-placed Beckham source said that the transition to the States hasn’t been as seamless as originally hoped, and the change in Victoria’s fame status has had something to do with that.

1. soccer will never gain widespread popularity in the U.S.. If Pele couldn't do it, no one can. nt.

2. I wonder if any Premier League team would buy that contract out.

He's a good player, and all (even if he did play for ManU for a number of years).
