Fergusons book

[pantskyle]

Jealousy ITT.

Laugh it up, but this is a book written by the best manager of all time.

I can't wait to pick it up.

Same mate. Should be a great read.

Not a fan of his but LOVED his mention of Scumberland:

‘I had good relationships with most other clubs but none more so than with Sunderland. At least until the last five years of my career.
We’d give them good deals on our fringe players or ageing players, and in return they’d take some of our youngsters on loan give them Premier League experience.
Unfortunately they got greedy in asking for Scholesy when he still had a couple of years left in him. I was never going to agree to that, but they didn’t take the hint and came back in every transfer window, mainly because their fans “wanted” him.
They’re an odd lot let me tell you; ideas above their station yet supporting a team who are nothing more than a hindrance even when at their best under Peter Reid.
In the end I pacified them by offloading Brown and O’Shea – both good servants but past their sell by date in my mind. Both injury prone and liable to make mistakes. Still, they were good enough to do a job in a poor team.’

Love it!

"Mark Bosnich was a terrible professional," Ferguson wrote in the book.
"We played down at Wimbledon and Bosnich was tucking into everything: sandwiches, soups, steaks. He was going through the menu.
"I told him, `For Christ's sake, Mark, we've got the weight off you. Why are you tucking into all that stuff?'
"We arrived back in Manchester, and Mark was on mobile phone to a Chinese restaurant to order a takeaway.
"Is there no end to you?

Hahaha, Bozza.

I wonder if Bozza will still be sucking Ferguson's **** every week on Fox Sports after reading the book.

yes.

Interesting that in a book which seems to be based largely on the importance of maintaining control, his biggest criticism of Rafa Benitez is that he was a control freak. I don't disagree but it's a bit strange coming from a man like Ferguson.

Still, it's good to know Liverpool hold a big enough place in the miserable old bastard's heart to warrant an entire chapter and then some in his autobiography. I'm sure Jordan Henderson will be thrilled to hear of Ferguson's concern for his running posture!

Great interview of Ferguson by Jon Snow who has the former United manager squirming in his seat at times:

 

[mojito]

Just ordered a copy. Can't wait

 

[moomba]

Roy Keanes response on ITV was funny. Would like to be a fly on the wall next time they run into each other in a corridor.

Had to watch the start of that interview to make sure it wasn't Jon Snow from Game of Thrones

Good interview though, not often you see SAF a bit uncomfortable!

 

[darth_timon]

Why not?

Roo is a big boy I'm sure he knew what was going to be said. I fail to see that it will effect United in anyway.

It could unsettle him? And by extension cause Moyes a new headache?

I doubt that and Moyes already has plenty of headaches. May as well add to them.

Loved the Sunderland fans doing The Poznan on "that " day, wonder what fergie time thought of that.

 

[Cooldude]

One thing I agree in his book is that Moyes is backed by him and the board and will be given time

I wholeheartedly concur

I'm guessing you're not a Moyes fan?

 

[AG]

Lol Bosnich thinks he has a counter argument.

Can't stand him and was a good roast by Ferguson.

 

[PP34]

I simply cannot understand why when given an opportunity to become the first keeper at one of the world's biggest clubs, you'd choose to eat and eat and eat, followed up by Coke and god knows what else.

 

[CakeEater]

Loved the comment about Bozza.

 

[Sanders]

If Moyes fails, it makes Fergie's achievements look even better

Chances SAF doesn't know this? Zero

 

[Cooldude]

No chance he was gonna appointment someone who could do better with this squad than he has already

Side effect of snorting Coke is increased appetite. Sounds like Bozza had a permanent case of the munchies.

 

[juice t]

Loved him burning the shit out of Bosnich

 

[iluvparis]

Sounds like it will be hilarious reading if he is just going to slag off 90% of the football world in it

You're thinking of cannabis I think, the cocaine would've suppressed his appetite
