Daily Mail ripping Mr Ferguson to shreds

[dom9]

Sorry Craig, as a rule of thumb I don't read anything from that tripe fest of a newspaper.

They feel the same about your posts on here

Haha.

A note to certain posters.

This is how to handle a 'dig'.

Stop being precious and lighten up.

Excellent article

The problem is the control Fergie have over journalists. Many of them know what a c*nt he is but simply can't write what they want about him.

The papers and media need their interviews with him and because of that journalists isn't allowed to write the truth about him. They must stay friendly with Fergie or else they won't get any interviews.

That is what the boycott of BBC is all about. He is showing what happens if you write negative articles about him. He is making an example out of it.

Henderson can say bye bye to ever get a chance to get an interview with Fergie. He will probably be banned from visiting OT and so on. Not a chance that an article like this will go unnoticed by Fergie.

Just look at the way Rafa was treated mostly because he stood up against him. The media made fun out of him because he dared to stand up against their money spinning darling.

If you stand up against Fergie then you can be sure that the media will do all they can to make you look like an idiot. Why? They need to stay friendly with Fergie.

The game will be better once he's gone.

Ben Thornley wrote this in the Daily Post yesterday and he's been getting loads of grief from Utd fans on Twitter.

It's along similar lines as the above.

Comment: Why I won’t be supporting Manchester United in Champions League final

by Ben Thornley, DPW West

ACCORDING to some, Britain should be united behind Alex Ferguson’s bid to deliver Old Trafford a fourth European crown tomorrow night, but even the Scot isn’t deluded enough to believe that will happen.

When their supporters sing “we’re Manchester United, and we’ll do want we want” while their manager and players have lived by that unofficial club motto for the last 20 years, it’s no wonder the Red Devils receive little love on these shores.

This week Ferguson revealed how he learnt his first lesson in mind games from Bob Paisley – the only manager to have won the European Cup on three occasions – in his one clash with the Anfield legend while manager of Aberdeen in 1980 (Liverpool won 5-0 on aggregate).

He took little else from the dignified Liverpool boss, however.

Since lifting the FA Cup in 1990, Ferguson may have developed a winning habit at Manchester United but he has never mastered doing it with the class of Britain’s most successful club manager – the man whose shadow the Red Devils’ boss is so eager to escape.

There’s much to admire about Ferguson, of course. Each one of his great teams have always tried to play attacking football and have possessed a tremendous team spirit and winning mentality.

There are also occasions when he has displayed his well-hidden humanity - he was among the first to lay flowers at Anfield after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

But beyond those qualities Ferguson is a bully who has cajoled his way to 12 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies, intimidating referees, opposition managers, governing bodies, the media and anyone else who has gotten in his way.

His players have often behaved with this same vulgarity.

Even if you believed in the antiquated and base notion that you should support another club from the UK in European competition, how could you possibly root for men as boorish as Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney?

Or hope to see fans who gleefully chant about footballing disasters given the opportunity singing about winning the European Cup four times “without killing anyone”.
