It seems that Rio has gone public on his feelings towards his manager, in part blaming him for not getting the England call up due to Sir Alex commenting on his fitness. We all no Fergie takes no prisoners when it comes to negative comments made publically by his own players, we just have to remember one of the best centre backs I've seen Yap Stam who was offloaded for comments he made about sir Alex in a book.
That would defeat the object somewhat don't you reckon? If his comments were to get Ferdinand a rest over the summer, which will no doubt do him good let's be honest, he's hardly then going to sack him for saying something about it. He'd as well have just let him play and come back knackered, but un sacked.
