I see Slur Bacon face has been spouting his usual nonsense again! Interview in the 'Star' claiming he feels FSG got rid of KD because of the way he handled the Suarez case, if this is true then I think our owners have showed again that Liverpool are a touch more classy than Utd! He still hasn't mentioned anything about the Rio twittergate though...Hmmm can't understand and the Utd fans still refuse to accept Utd and Whiskey nose are hypocrites!
It's on the BBC webiste too. I find the fact that Fergie felt the need to speak out on this inappropriate but the fact he completely ignores the way clubs are set up nowadays is beyond belief
"if this is true then I think our owners have showed again that Liverpool are a touch more classy than Utd!" Totally disagree. IF this is true, the coonts have crumbled to the pressure from the media and the United FA to bow the knee or face having their international brand contaminated. It explains that ludicrous statment about baseball players in the 30's in America too. The 'classy' thing to do, for the sake of football, would have been to write the season off and go to the CAS in Switzerland, once we knew that we could only appeal against the length of the ban, and that a vindictive, united-controlled FA would have simply extended the ban. Either that and/or a private prosecution against Evra for what were provably more racist and abusive actions. And now we see the results of our spineless passiveness - a player goes on a public forum to openly and racially abuse another player and a) because he's United and b) because he simply maintains 'it's not racist, so there' the FA can conveniently forget all the precedents they laid down over the Suarez case and sweep it under the ever-undulating carpet at FA headquarters. Notice how silent the single-issue pressure groups and strident sports journalists such as Lawton, Samuel, Holt and the other one-eyed hand-wringers from Sunday Supplement are now? The battle has gone now, the owners backed our general to the limit- till it got tough, then forced him to surrender as soon as they saw the oppostion forces. Then sacked him for good measure for not winning! H&G II, wait and see.
Make no mistake, this is Slur Alex responding to the comments made by Suarez yesterday. The guy cannot resist sitting on his high horse lobbing grenades our way. Whilst i respect what he has achieved, I think the bloke is a snivelling rat of a man, he has no good grace. He is no Paisley. Personally, I'd like the club to back Suarez in a real court - even now. The Terry case shows the inequity of the whole affair and as for 'choc ices'.....don't get me started.......
I thought it was a very weak act from our owners to just let the Suarez thing lie the way they did. IMO they should have brought it to a proper court and really made the fa look stupid, now we have a bitter Suarez over the whole thing and rightly so when you see the way Terry and Ferdinand can say what they want and get away with it. I wouldnt be surprised if Suarez wanted out over this.
I really think Suarez should do his talking on the pitch, whatever he thinks, thew other lads stuck by him through the whole thing and Johnson was even labelled an 'Uncle Tom' because his show of support so, lets get on the pitch Luis and show them exactly what they tried to stop!
i'd be interested to hear a few details. 1. utd are in south africa still? 2. where was this interview given and who asked the questions. 3. context... did ferguson just throw a comment on dalglish out there to annoy or what? i mean its not precisely important now is it?
I think I see the pre season mind games starting. It appears that instead of addressing Saurez’s interview regarding United’s political, aka FA, control he has chosen to try and create a mindset with Saurez that has him culpable for Kenny’s demise. It’s almost as if he wants to burden the LFC man with some psychological inference re: his responsibility for the demise of his clubs most admired player/manager. I am sure Saurez will not entertain such thoughts for a moment, he has spoken of the support he has had and been grateful for its veracity and, I think, touched by the Liverpool tradition derived and from the people of the area who will always support their own in the face of adversity and pressure if they believe in the cause. I also don't have too much of an issue with our owners who obviously see things a bit more dispassionately and seen how the club was being harmed by the one sided press attention and FA crusade to get one up on Blatter. They are playing the long ball game and understand how quickly reputations can be ruined especially when the "free" press seemed to have the same agenda. Kenny was let go mainly because of form and maybe because they thought allowing him to use the Torres and Babel money should have leveraged better results. Bacon face can say what he likes, had we got top four, or possibly won the FA cup, Kenny would still be there and his argument would look as facile as it is (though with Kenny still there he wouldn't of been able to say this anyhow but you know what I mean).
Ferguson's pathetic explanation of Evra's 'low hand' in the non handshake. “Yes, I’ve seen he [Suarez] has gone back and talked about it,” Ferguson said. “The handshake was disappointing. He came out and said Evra’s hand was low. “There is no doubt Evra put his hand towards him, but I think Evra expected him not to shake hands. Evra actually said that to the lads. “He just felt he wasn’t going to shake his hand. He was sort of embarrassed to put his hand there. It’s Suarez, he’s the one who should be making the effort to do something about it. For someone that claims to have kept a 'dignified silence' on the matter he sure has a lot to say it about it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...z-racism-row-cost-Kenny-Dalglish-his-job.html Given that he says that when Suarez is asked questions about the issue he has a choice to either discuss it or not and should choose the latter, the same choice applies to him so why didn't he just swerve answering the hacks question about it? A definite case of don't do as i do, do as i say from the old goat.
so what you're saying is fergusn actually admitted that evra didn't want to shake hands and really didn't offer his very well so suarez was right in moving on. nice of ferguson to clear that up.
Aren't the FA investigating Rio's Tweets? In which case Fergie is entirely correct not to comment on it rather than picking a side early on like Dalglish and Liverpool did. Not that Fergie's not a total twat, I just don't think you can blame him for that though.
Didn't Ferguson also pick his side early on in the Suarez/Evra case?, didn't he also comment on the case before it was heard by the FA?
He supported him publicly but Evra wasn't accused of anything and as far as I remember he didn't go out of his way to create and grand gesture of support for Evra like Liverpool did with the shirts. We'll never know whether he'd have backed Evra had he been proven to be lying either as it never happened but that was another thing Liverpool got wrong.
Ferguson didn't know whether Suarez would be found guilty until he actually was and therefore had no right to 'state' that Suarez had racially abused Evra from minute one.
