Fergie's Gone Too Far

What do you describe the greatest manger to ever manager in club football? Great, magnificent, God, okay maybe God it's a bit far fetched, but he will be remembered as the Messaih to the footballing world, and at United he's made one of the best clubs in the world today, this is harsh confession to make as I'm an Arsenal fan. But his book has caused a huge stir which really I don't like.

In my generation and the generation of football fans that have followed football since the 90's they will tell you Fergie was the best coach that has graced this globe. But to me he's just a bitter man that has waited to retire to take a harsh snipe at his players, which to me is a form a weakness. Okay he's said it before but not in the horrible context he's put it.

Calling out Keane like the way he did in his book was just out of order. Fergie did the right thing in releasing him for his harsh comments on his fellow players back in 2005 when United lost to Middlesbourugh.But to slander him in the way Fergie did was disgraceful. Keane whose known for his controversial antics as well his sharp tongue more than the great works he did in the United midfield gave 100% in that united shirt and Fergie owes this guy his life after the heights Keano took them.

When I heard how Sir Alex's book caused a storm, I was thinking it's just Alex being Alex but when watching the Champions League the other day and seeing the snippet of what Keane thought of his ex manager's book. who echoes my point that  "It doesn't bother me too much what he has to say about me, but to constantly criticize other players at the club who brought him a lot of success I find very, very strange. But I certainly won't be losing any sleep over it."It made me think that in every great football team, that's won silverware the players make a good manager, we all know that with out a good quality players you cant win anything. So for Fergie to slander players who have given him a great service and won him trophies over the space of many years is just unjust, no matter what the players did, at he end of the day they won you trophies. And he's right what he said in the interview Fergie knows no meaning of the word loyalty.

His attack on David Beckham is the one that really shocked me, to be honest till this day I felt that Ferguson dealt with situation poorly. He claims that Becks was more interested in his fame than his football, this statement I will always disagree with as Beckham always put his football FIRST, Beckham doesn't and never did want the fame. The fame came to him when he married Posh, your obviously going to be in the fame hunt and in every newspaper if your dating a Spice Girl!!!! It's not rocket science! It shocked me when he said that Beckham wasn't a great player when hes was at the club and his fame distracted him from legendary status at Old Trafford. This to me is a ludachris statement Beckham who I never really highly rated will always be there with the legends of football with his great passing & crossing and his explosive free kicks that haa become a sort of cult in the game. You tell me that a shy, humble likable guy like Becks whose dream was to be a player, who has put football on the map and who gave United a loyal service who still has had love for the club since he was a child is fame hungry?   
      
I can't wait to read the whole book, take away his legendary status and the service he's given to the game in the last 3 decades and a half . Fergie has gone a tad bit far you don't criticize and diss players that have won you trophies and that have kept in the job. But hey that's just me lol
